to the fact, that Buchanan has no strength at
the North, even in those States which in 1864
gave overwhelming majorities for Pierce. Maine
in 1852 gave Pierce nine thousand plurality
over Scott, and from present appearances, II
viii give the Rocky Mountain youth, tsoenty-
JiUe thousand over James Buchanan Well
might Messrs. Howell Cobb, James L. Orr, and
8 A. Douglas, declare, that if the Democrats
do not moo carry Maine they shall despair of
the election of Buchanan"
Well, hoto has Maine gone Have the sham
Democrats carried it9 Why, Hamlin, Repub-
lican,) has beat both the sham Democratic and
old-line Wing candidates probably more than
twenty thousand votes Buchanan is not only
defeated and routed in Maine, but he is anni1li-
Mtedi
In Iona, which gave Pierce handsome
majority in 1852, the sham Democracy were
beaten last month about 5000 votesl In Yer
mont, where Scott in 1862 beat Pierce 1900
votes, the Republicans have more than doubled
this majority over the sham Democracy, in the
last few days, and now in Aaine, formerly one
Of the strongholds of Democracy, where Pierce
beat Scott nine thousand votes, the Republi-
cans have demolished the sham Democrats and
the Wings united Within a. month, in the
only elections held at the North, Buchanan has
been badly beaten in the first, distanced in the
second, and disgraced in the third And this
is the man toho toas to sWeep the North And
this is the man sohO, nominated "as conces-
sion to the Fres-soil Democrats Of the North,
was to "crush OUT Republicanism BAH
And look at the deceptious representations
Of the Washington Union, no longer ago than
Friday, the 9th Instant See how it attempts
to fool the South into an idea of the great
strength Of sold Squatter Sovereign" in the
North That press said:
"The Democrats of Maine are full of hope and
enthusiasm; they appear to have most efficient
organization, and they are thoroughly alive to the
Importance of the pending struggle. We do not
claim in advance an overwhelming Democratic tri-
umph, although our private advices would seem
to justify such superstition; but, STILL we do not
hazard too much in asserting, as our belief. thu
the result of the election on Mondsy next will be
of such character as to warrant the strongest
hopes that the electoral vote of Maine viii be cast
for BuchansR-ssnd Breckenridge"
Full of hope |" and full of enthusiasm y
"a most efficient organization |" a. borough
ly alive to the Importance Of the struggle" ~
Certainly they were well organized nobody
doubts that. Certainly they knew the import
ance of the struggle" for Southern Cobbs and
Orrs, and Western Douglases, had warned
them, that upon their success in Maine all Blu
chananfa homes rastad
Money had been poured out like water
every appliance had been resorted to-every
influence had been exerted George Evans, ex-
Senator, an old-line Wing, had come out for
Buchanan--a Congressional ticket had been
adopted, made up Of part Wings and part
Democrats-but neither hope nor "enthu-
sasm" nor "a most efficient organization "
nor the importance of the struggle nor
wasted money-nor political appliances
extraordinary influences all the George
Evanses-nor fusion with the Whigs-nor
the warnings of the Cobbs, Orrs, and Doug
ases, nor all these combined could aoail!--
The truth is, "Old Buck is spawned, splint-
cd, stringhalted, foundered, and blind and his
hackers had better withdraw him and pay the
forfeit.
But the MODEST man of the Washington
Uni0R-hear him!
We don't claim, IN ADVANCE an ovERwHELM-
ING DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH, although our PRIVATE
ADyIcEs would seem to justify SUCH a superstition
but still we do not hazard too much in asserting
as our belief, that the result of the election, on
Monday next, (aaow Monday last will be of SUCH
A CHARACTER as to warrant the STRONGEST HOPES
that the electoral vote of Maine will be cast for
Buchanan and Breckenridge"
Will the South and West be any longer
gulled by any such PRIVATE ADvIcEs about
the OVERWHELMING DEMOCRATIC TRlUMPHs
which the Washington Union predicts That
press could have had no such "beliet," or it
has not judgment enough to warrant any
confidence being placed in its opinions
But let us look little further, and see on
what basis the Washington Union rests its
hope of carrying Iowa in November. In its
issue of Saturday, the 9th instant, that press
published the following, to wit
IOWA SAFE FOR BUCHANAN.
"The smoke of the battle has cleared away, and
we discover that we are beaten by the combined
forces of Whiggery, Free-soism Black Repub
licanism, Abolitionism, rank sectionaism, and all
other under the heaven, from three to five thou
sand votes. But the Black Republicans cannot
coax the Fillmore men into the support of their
woolly candidate, and therefore have given up all
hopes of carrying this State for Fremont. Fill
mores vote in the State will not be less than ten
thousand So you may put down the State as sure
and certain for Buchanan and Breckenridge in No
vember."
So then it hopes to carry Iowa by the aid of
the Fillmore men, who cannot be ooaxed by
the Republicans to support Fremont And if
