| Inc Convention of three southern Governors
at Raleigh, n. c., lately, to confer on the polit-
cal prospects of the country, is the theme of
general speculation. What was the object of
the meeting: Who gave them authority TO actY
Aud what did they decide on doing! Those
questions are on every tongue
Perhaps can give you some information or
this subject. In spite of denals that NAV be
made of its truth, the result will show whether
it is accurate or not.
That the question of Secession was discussed.
| IS matter of course. 1t was decided by these
Governors that in the event of Fremont's cleo
ton they would make an effort to precipiate their
several States into steps tending to dissolution.
But the project Of marching on Washington.
which has been SO loudly talked about was not
considered feasible. ,
l have reason to believe from certain leakings,
that Mr. Fillmores connection with this canvass
was also a topic of consideration. It is said.
and 1t is generally believed here, that the Fill
more ticket in Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois.
Connecticut and New Jersey is kept in the field
expressly for Mr.. I3uchanan's benefit. It is
furthermore said and believed that this is in pur-
suance OF regular bargain with certain leaders
OF the Democratic party in the North at Wash
ington: and that as consideration for this aid.
Mr.. Fillmore IS to be permitted to carry one or
two Southern States, and New York also. if he
can.
The Fillmore men in your section arc salts
he'd with this arrangement because it promises
to carry the election into the House Of Repre-
sentatives, where, they say, Mr.. Fillmore will
hold the balance of power
But mark my word. Mr.. Fillmorc's name ,ciU
not De permitted by tie Democracy to 90 into
the House at al. ttMder any circumstances
Governor Wise, Gov. Adams and the ultra
South, IN men generally, will either rule or r1-
lin:-AeS don't intend to be oyerruled by any
third party. sAna the plan Of operations has
been agreed upon.
They are perfectly willing that the game
should be played in Pennsylvania and the North
for Mr.. Buchapau's benefit Butwhen it comes
to paying the equivalent, these men will repudi-
ate bargain to which they were not parties
You know that if no President is chosen bv
the people the names of the three hi1hest cnndi
dates go TO the House of Represcntatiyes. Ere
monts will be one, Buchanans another, and it
IS taken for granted by his friends. if this game
succeeds, that FElmore's will be the third. They
are recHonlng without their host Suppose Blu
chanan carries twelve. or thirteen of the Sonth-
ern States-and Fillmore two, three. or even
four States altogether. The general result win
be known within ten days after the Election
