HEAR FAIR OPPoNEET.-While some Of
the Democratic presses of the South are still
holding out the idea that there is to be fu-
sion Fillmore and Fremont Electoral Ticket
in Pennsylvania, we take pleasure in copying
from the New York Daily News (an able and
candid Buchanan paper) of the 18th inst.
the following: II
FusIoS.-The miserable attempt or propo-
sition on the part of the sectionalists to fuse
with the Fillmore men, is thus rebnked and
secuted at by the Express:
"No Fusion IN PENSsYLvANIA-We are
assured by our friends in Pennsylvania that
there can be no successful attempt at fusion
in the State. The independent Fillmore,
Electoral ticket will be run, and even If it
were possible for Thurlow Weed to cor
rupt any of the leaders there, with the $780,.
900 taken there, the "Americans" of the State
would repudiate them. In no event can there
be so unnatural coalition as is contemplat-
ed by corrupt wire-pulers. This, in answer
to scores of friends in New York, Pennsyl-
vana and elsewhere. Sink or Swinl, the
friends of Fillmore will stand by him 10 the
last"
You may, by the use of heat, unite oil and
water, but thousand furnaces and all the coal
mines of Pennsylvania would not create suffi-
cient heat to amalgamate the Fillmore men
with the dsunion, evil spirit of the Black
"Republicans." Traficking politicians might
attempt, but honest men of the Fillmore par
ty look upon such thing with derision If
the Fillmore men are wrong on one princi-
pie, they are right in being National, which
the Fremonters are not.
Will not that suffice? Vote for Fillmore
ard save the Union.

PARTY MADNEss.-The Columbia Times
says that the ultimatum of the Buchanan
party in South Carolina appears to be Buch-
GnGn or DiSunion;" and it quotes the Wins
boro' Register as advocating secession in
the event of the election of Mr.. Fillmore!-
We are glad that Mr. FiImores S election has
at last come to be regarded as so probable
result by Southern Democrats, that those
who are for disunion as their first choice are
seeking to make that event one of the con-
tgencies on which to suspend it. Knowing
that the people of the South will indignant
ly rebuke any such attempt, we care not how
soon the issue is presented.
In this late speech at Ninety.Six, Hon.
Preston s. Brooks said: "Mr. Fillmore is a
gentleman and made good President, and
perhaps, if he is elected, may deceive his
own party and do better than we expect
But zoe don't Wam 10 throw back The tide of
disunion!" Therefore Mr.. Brooks goes for
whom do you suppose, readerl-for James
Buchanan! Hop do the disunionists hope
TO bring about secession through the eIec-
ton of Buchanan! And if they oppose Mr..
Fillmore because they fear that he will
throw back the tide of disunion" by making
"a good President" ought not every UNION
MAN to support him for that very reason?

WASTE OF WAB.

& GIVE mesthe gold that war has cost,
Before this peace-expandiDg day,
The wasted skill, the labor lost,
The mental treasure thrown away
And will buy each rood Of soil
In every yet discovered land,
Where hunters roam. where peasant toll,
Where many peopled cities stand,
IN elothe each shivefing wretch on earth
In ncedful nay. in brave attire:
festure benettting banquet mirth.
Which kings might envy and admire.
In every vale, on every plain.
A school shall glad the gazer's sight,
Where every poor mans child may gain
Pure knowledge, free as air aud light
I'll build asylums for the poor,
BY age or ailment made forlorn:
And u0ne shall thrust them from their door
Or sting with looks or words of scorn.
IN link each alien hemisphere.
Help honest mon 10 conquer wrong,
Art, Science. Labor. nerve or cheer,
Reward the Poet for his song.
In every free and peopled cline,
A vast Valhalla shall stand;
A marble eii6ce sublime,
For the lustration Of the land,
A pantheon for the truly great,
The wise, benefcient and just;
palace wide in lofty state,
To honor or to hold their dust.
