The Way Mr.. Buchanan's EIec.
ton was Secured.

1t is very clear, says the Baltimore Clipper
that the so-called Democracy owe what they are
now celebrating as their party's triumph, to the
votes OF thousands of men in the Southern States
who are not identified with them in principle, but
who merely cast their suffrages for Mr. Buchan-
an from their fears that if they did not do so, the
election would go to the House. These voters
were good Americans in principle, and will so
prove hereafter. For the time being they cast
aside all party feeling in order to secure an elec
ton by the people and overcome the Republicans.
though, in doing so, they voted with a party
whose leaders openly declared everywhere that
they would prefer to see Fremont elected to
Fillmore. In taking this course, those Americans
doubtless discharged what they conceived to be
their duty to their country, but, In doing so, they
have sacrificed one of the poblest and purest ga
triots of his age, and as long as it shall please
Divine Providence to let him remain among us
he viii live moment Of Southern ingratitade to
her Northern friends
In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indiana, hoa
dreds and thousands of conservative Americans
voted for Mr. Buchanan as their best means Of
Furnishing the Republicans of those States for their
attempt to browbeat them into "fusion," and
thus carried them for the democracy" For the
votes Of thousands Of Americans in an the State:
south Of Maryland and of some hundreds of then
in this State, and for the help they received from
Americans In the. non-slaveholding States abov,
named, the democracy are indebted for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Buchanan, and yet, instead of show
ing some gratitude for this assistance which save,
them, they are traducing every man of them il
the attacks which they make upon the American
of Baltimore, and beapng upon them every obi
Gus and offensive epithet which the English Ian
gaage affords.
Whilst they are thus showing their ingratitud
for the American aid they received, and fla.teriny
themselves that we are overwhelmed with gloon
and trouble, let US take comfort in the reflection
that the time is drawing nigh when the tables vii
be turned, and it will be our turn to laugh. Very
soon now they will be proving to the publ thai
they were fighting for spoils, and not for princi
Piles; and then there viii besuch squabble amon
the harmonious Democracy as this country neve
witnessed before. So let every American be 9
good cheer. There is fun ahead, and ahappy tina
coming.
