The sham Democracy are rejoicing ex-
ceedingly over Rufus Choate's declaration
Of his intention to vote for Buchanan
But there is one circumstance that marks
Choate's detection as an evil omen to the
cause he has espoused. He has always
been on the losing side He was against
Harrison 1--WE believe) in 1910, but Har-
rson was elected. He was for Clay in
IS4i, and Clay was beaten. He was
against Taylor in 1S4S(though he took no
active part) and Taylor was elected. And
In 1852 he bitterly opposed Scott's nomi-
nation, and yet Scott was nominated. So
1t viii be in 1856; he is against Fillmore,
and in all probability Fillmore will be
elected Fillmore's known conservatism
MS Washington-like character, and his
lndOmitable good luck, will give him the
victory as sure as the 4th of November
rolls around.

A Black Republicans S Notion Of Mr.. Fill
more.

The New York e. urier and Enquirer, r.,
an ardent and Jealous supporter of Ere
mont, and a stern hater of slavery and the
South, declares that !:
"Millard Fillmore is so In love with
Narery that he stands pledged, if elected
10 the Presidency, to oppose any legisla-
ton which shall exclude slavery from Kan
s1s, or the tendency of which shall be, to
restore the Missouri Compromise of 1920,
and the restriction of slavery to South of
3G deg. 80 min. But this:i rot all
Such is his infatuation with slavery, aad
such his srbseryiency to the slave power,
that in the desperate hope of CARRYING a
portion of the South, he publicly proclaims
that the election of Fremont by the people
Of the United States, Is good cause for a
dissolution ef the Union"
Such Is the language Of the Courier d,
Eaqui1-er. And yet Southern Democrats
persist in calling Mr. Fillmore anAboli-
t0nist Denounced as an Abolitionist BY
Southern Democrats, and as tool of slave
Power by the Black Republicans! Such
Is the cross fire to which he is subjected
VIII Southern patriots permit him to be
thus cruelty prosecuted?

Underground Railroad.
s16 600 WORTH OF PROPERTY ON THE
WING.


An express train upon the Underground
Railroad, passed through our city the pre-
'ant week with freight of more than usu
i interest. Not many days ago, nine ro
INST. intelligent, and "right down smart
.,1nnr men of Old Virginia, decided to visi
~! w. beautiful lake, and the regions that liz
Isvond. As they thought they might be
n something of hurry the first night Of
their Journey, they took along six horses
balonging to the gentleman with whom
.bev had Iabored long time at very low
wages
These horses, next morning, were turn
i bomeward, and their riders took to the
dds. In a few days ''Massa," with a
,osse of his neighbors, overlook the travel
when a vigorous combat ensued-the
nine travellers maintaining the field, and
.snding their pursuing neighbors back, at
an uncomfortable fast pace. The parties
next approached each other in the city OF
pittsburg. The nine travellers took private
iodgings-so private that the pursuers had
I,st seent-though the old master had Of
f,red a reward of s3 900 for the seizure of
the runaway property
From Pittsburg, three ofthe party made
direct for Canada The remaining SIX In
due time took the cars for Salem-and
we're astonished to find one of their pursu-
ers on the same train BY some manage
,nent of humane and ingenious conduc-
to-. the hound was left at some way station,
and at the first intersection the travellers
took passage on the underground road.
Monday morning gentlemen were about
cur city, said to be gentlemen from Vir-
cinia, in search of six slaves. In the ear
+ train of that morning Mr. Lawrence,
of this city, left for Ashtabula-reported
to have gone in the capacity of Deputy
Marshal, in search of this travelling proper
tv. We know not that we have a man In
this city mean enough to engage In such
business-but at Ashtabula, this Lawrence
was understood to intimatc'that such was
his errand. The Vigilence Committee
here, believing that such was the fact,
sent one of their number to keep him COM
panv. During this movement, the SIX
travellers were "laying back" in comforta-
BE quarters Yesterday they spent a few
hours in this city, delighted with what they
saw and heard-and at the time of this
writing are safe, under the protection of a
government that doesn't recognize proper
ty in man.
It seems that the cars of the Under
Ground Railroad are so constructed that
they run upon water as well as upon land
and it would seem further, that the
limited States Marshal who takes fugi-
tive from northern Ohio, has got to be pret-
II smart
