whirlwind As an indication of the prospects Of
the respective candidates, we publish the follow

NEW YoRK.-The Indications in New York
are now, says the Springfield Republican, that
Buchanan will run third in that State, Fillmore
ranking next TO Fremont, whose plurality is con-
ceaed at $4,000. The detection of the Democra-
cy is astonishing nothing but the bare bones of
tie party will be left, and very poor bones at that

A call is published in some of the Democratic
papers of the Empire State to the following pur
port -
1.-The Democratic Republicans of the State
of New YoJk, in favor OF maintaining the po
litical principles of Jefferson and jackson, and
Tompkins and Silas Wright, are invited to
meet at Syracuse. the Oath day of July, for
the purpose of consultation, and, if deemed
proper, for political organization"
This is Fremont move among the old Demo
Gratis, and an important accession to the ranks of
the true, freedom loving democracy, as repudiated
by the Philadelphia platform, will be the conse
quence. The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Atlas under date of July is, writes:-
Gen. Spinner, the veteran and indomita-
Bile Democrat, who so noby represents in
Congress the old constituents and supporters of
Silas Wright, informs me, that of the nine
teen towns in Herkmer county, the Buchan-
antics carried the Democratic caucuses in only
four that the Democrats of the remaining
fifteen towns pronounce for Col. Fremont =
that the Democratic County Convention in
Herkimer. which has just declared for Ere
mont and Freedom, represented the great body
of the party and that the County Convention
ESQ ealled) which adhered to Buchanan, was
a mere sham assemblage of fictitious dele
gates. Thus, in his own town, two postmas-
ters and enc private citizen got together, and
elected Buchanan representation. The eau
cuses which pronounced for Fremont were at
tended oily by those aoho uoted the Democratic
ticket at the last fall elsction. Of those who
voted for Pierce in the Presidential election of
1852, large portion voted the Republican
ticket, headed by Preston King, last Noyem-
Der, and did not participate in the Democratic
deliberations which have just terminated in
favor of Fremont. The truth is the Demo
cracy Of He~kimer and st. Lawrence have
joined the Fremont column en- n,Gsse, with all
their baggage, guns. and colors. The move
ment in that single Congress sional district, will
make difference of ten thousand votes, as
compared with the contest of 1852"
The largest and most enthusiastic political
meeting which has for many years assembled in
Easton, Pa, met on Friday evening last to ratiiy
the nominations of Fremont and Dayton. Ad-
dresses were made by Lieut.. Gov. Roberts of
Kanzas, Hon. Samuel Galloway of Ohio, and
others

Y, on Saturday, signed by eighty nine names

Gratis.
The Hartford Germans had political meeting
last Friday night ,and were addressed in German
BY fellow countryman from Texas, in behalf of
Fremont, and resolutions were passed responding
to The nomination Of Fremont and Dayton, and
the Philadelphia Republican platform. Fred
Hecker one of the patriots in the German revo-
luton of lS4S, and banished then to this country
"a leader whose name is dear to all German
democrats--is to speak in Ohio for Fremont and
Freedom.
Calais, Vermont, the banner town of democra-
cy. voting, heretofore, 20 Wing, 80 Free Soil,
and 250 Democrat, starts off with Fremont club

A Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald says -" On vista to Alexandra on a
Washington steamer, Presidential vote Of the
passengers was called for, and out of the thirty
seven passengers, thirteen declared themselves
for Fremont Curiosity led me afterwards to in
troduce myself to the parties who had favored
Fremont. whereupon ascertained that all but
two were from the South This is an actual fact,
though the South may be deprived of the priv.
lege Of voting for Fremont, it is nevertheless
certain that his cause has many warm and true
friends in that section Of the Union"
