the benefit Of our readers. It says:
Fillmcreiis the only conservative candidat
in the field for president, WHO can certaial
carry ant northern State
New York il positively certain for Fillmore
while Buchanan il not certain of any norther
State-npt even Of getting his own State {
Pennsylvania.
Buchanan is, to all intents and purposes,
disunion candidate, being supported north an
south, BY men who threaten to dissolve til
Union, if|he is NOT elected. See John SIidell'
letter, the Richmond Enquirer, Mobile Regis
ter. Columbus Times and Sentinel, 6c.l
II Buchanan is advocated at tile south as
southern sectional candidate, and at the nortl
as the candidate, who in connexion with Breck
enridge, is not in favor ofthe extension of slave
/ ry. Fremont is advocated at the north as
northern sectional candidate-whiIe Fillmor
is advocated, north and south, east and west
in every section of the country, as a nationa
Union candidate; and is therefore denounced
abused, villifed and misrepresented on boil
\ sides BY bis enemies, the leaders of the demo
cratic and republican parties, and their obed
ent agents and submissive understrappers.
Fillmore occupies the golden mean between
I Buchanan and Fremont, and, like noble Web.
ster, he is a true American, knowing no north
no south. 10 east, no west. nothing but his
whole country-the whole Union-..one and
indiyisible''
Fillmore is gaining ground every day, every
hour, everywhere throughout the broad ;ex-
panse OF our glorious land, and is the only man
in the field, as every candid, true spoken poll
tclan will readily admit, who can possibly be
elected BY the people. If he is not elected by
the people, the election must 60 into the house

tell us that We shall have no more slave States,
no more slave territory? and has not Brecken
ridge joined in the hue and cry and proclaimed
that he belongs TO no party which is in favor
Of the extension Of slavery? And, surely.
no one can dispute Breckenridge's knowledge
OF democratic principles. Therefore, we would
ask every candid souEherner, every friend OF
southern Institutions, if he can conscientiously
vote for Breckenridge and thus endorse The an
a-southern doctrine ht advances. Is the south /
opposed 10 the extension OF slavery? That is |
he question to be answered.
By his own record, James Buchanan is al /
man. He is a northern man by |
birth and by education. He has always lived
1t the morrill, and never gave southern vote
Without giving q good northern reason for it.

itory will be flied with freesoil immigrants, and
outherners be forced to leave the land, which
hey have so CALAMITY defended: and, finally
Kansas would BE- admitted into the Union as a
zee State. Thus, the Union would be periled,
lore than likely rent asunder, if Buchanan be
lected. {
Il is conceded fact that the popularity Of t
ilmore is such as to secure his election, If ev-

is an undeniatle fact, that even giving him t
