COM MUNICATED.1

Mr.. Editor: In the Gazette of last week |
noticed an article entitled "FiIlmore Elected"
1t is characteristic of the senior editor of that
paper. 1t pretends to be a report of a meet
ing held by the American party in this town,
for the purpose of organizing a Fillmore Club
The article asserts that there were present
thlrtySsix Democrats, and tWezue Americans,
ann that only five or sac signed the constitu-
ton of the Club. Allow me to state what re-
ally is the truth, and which can be proved if
necessary There were more than twenty Ame-
ricans present at the meeting, which materially
diminishes the relative number of Democrats
and Americans present, which the article allu-
ded to places three to one; it also refutes the
statement that there were only twelve Ameri.
cans in attendance. Now, there were taoentgs
one names signed to the constitution of the
Club before the adjournment of the meeting.
There was another fact also overlooked-the
compliment which the Americans designed to
pay the Democrats, by rendering them a vote
of thanks for the honor Of their presence, and
which was responded to on the adjournment
of the meeting by three deafening cheers for
BUCHANAN. Perhaps the editor thought, that
the act did not reflect much credit upon the
courtesy Of his political friends, so kept silent.
have made the above statement of facts to
correct the false statement of the Gazette, and
to prove by this showing how near it generally
approximates to truth when speaking Of the
acts of its political opponents.
ONE WHO WAS PRESENT.

INDIANA.
etc,

Recently the Baton Rouge Advocate asserts
ticket in Indiana was identical, and grew very
wrathy over the supposed fusion. The Ga
zette proved this assertion to be unfounded.--
Now the Advocate declares that the Fillmore
and Fremont State ticket is one and the ST me-.
The truth of this matter is, that weeks before
the nomination of Fremont, the anti,Adminis-
tration party of Indiana assembled in conven>
ton, and nominated Oliver P. Morton, of
Wayne, for Governor, with an entire State tick
ct. The opponents of franklin Pierce, and his
~prolongation, James Buchanan, will support
this ticket.
The same policy was pursued in Pennsyl.
vania. Six months ago all the adversaries Of
the present Administration agreed to nominate
q candidate for Canal Commissioner so as 10
concentrate the anti-Locofoco vote. This was
done, and we have little doubt OF the success
of the movement.
1t we'll BELTS the Democracy to shrek stu.
sion" when they are only delighted to receive
votes from any and every party. We don't hear
them complain of Martin and John Van Buren's
adhesion 10 them--rank Abolitionists as they
both are--nor of the support of Hallett, Pilsbu.
ry, Leavitt, Garrison, and a whole host Of
radical anti"slaVery men. They are willing to
accept the votes of the Ohio Democ rats who
have repeatedly declared their unaIterable
hostility to.the extension of slavery. This cry
of "~fusion' is a mere political cIap-trap and
aFrant hypocrisy.

Buchanan in Pennsx1rnnia.

The Baltimore correspondent of the Picay~
une, in his letter Of the 10th inst, says:
| find there is much less disposition
amongst Democrats here to wager their
money upon Mr.. Buchanan's election
than there was some months ago. Scarce
ly any of them will bet on the general re.
suit, and a precious few ever on Pennsyl-
vania. The South begins to see that
Buchanan's chances are no better than
those ofMr. Fillmore, if so good. = y 4
The impression still prevails that
Pennsylvania will cast her vote against
Buchanan, and as there are no republican
electors yet nominated in that State, the
presumption is those already in the field
for Fillmore will be voted for. This afi-
liation cannot be commended, but there
seems a r%esolute determination to beat
Buchanan.
