Not long since the Hon. Edward G. Gabell addressed
letter to each Of the candidates for Presidential
Eeetor in Florida, Of both parties, asking the Blu
chana1l candidates if, under certain contnge
they would vote for Fillmore to prevent the cleo.
ton Of Fremont, and asking the American candidates
under similar they would vote for
Buchanan. Two Of the American electors, Messrs;
John lyric and j. n. Underwood, have unfesita-
responded 80 the proposition in the Affirmative
and no doubt exists as to the position Of the other

Here are astonishing developments, If this is til
feeling that governs tile Buchanan leaders Of til
South the sooner the masses of the Southern peopl
are made aware Of it the better. Willard Fillmore ha

IN conclusion, we think steps should be at ono
