The following article, from the Herald Of the
18th October, shows what the eader of the
FREMONT forces thinks Of the eftct Of the De-
tober Elections
The late result in Pennsylvania, in connec-
tion with the unexpected snccess Of the Dem
ocrscy 10 Indiana, indicate pretty clearly the
election Of James Buchanan u our mex, Pres
ident, by handsome majority Of the Electoral
Colleges, against popular majority throughout
the country Of several hundred thousand Al.
ready has this popular majority been sufficiently
wasted and irittered away by the opposition
factions, cliques and managers, to justify this
conclusion. Let us look for moment at the
present condition. aspects anil prospects Of the
fight.
Pennsylvania has been thrown away An
nti.Dem0crstic majority there Of 10000, a
year ago. has suddenly vanished, through their
tricks, treacberes and stupid quarres, and
splits among the nti.Democratic forces and
from the ssme causes, Indiana, which WAS
swept by the opposition from stem to stern in
1884, is now recovered in single desperate
charge Of the alarmed Democracy Upon the
heels Of this Pennsylvania disaster We find the
Fremont and Fillmore managing committees
at Philadelphia wrangling ard splitting up in
the discussion of Joint stock electoral ticket
for November-the Flllmorcites, with an in
iatuation amounting to lunacy, still clinging 10
the deluson that they can afford to sacrifice
Pennsylvania and yet carry the election To the
House In New Jersey, the Fremont party
are still without an electoral ticket ; in New
York. W. II. Seward, Tburlow Weed and
their associate managers oi the Fremont cam
paigB, have, in the mean time, left the cause of
Fremont at home to take care OF itself, while
they have been off. here and there, and every.
where holding little caucUsses resulting in
nothing but mischief In fact we half suspect
that the secret treachcry OF Seward. Weed and
company, have scarcely done less to prevent u
concentration OF the opposition forces OF the
whole country upon Fremont, than the open
INSCRIPTIONS and malignant hostility Of the
Fillmore Know Nothing faction"
The position Of Mr. FILLMORE in this cam.
paigu is thus graphically ske,chcd in the same
article:
There was n majority in this State against
ieneral Taylor. in ls4s. Of 5000, putting the
two Democratic factions together and yet. 10y

Taylor carried the State against General Cass
by plurality of over one hundred thousand
votes, which defeated Cas-. elected TAYLOR and
avenged Van Buren,.
For all practical purposes, Mr., Fillmore in
$50 occupies precisely the position of Van
Buren, in 1913. A the one was superseded at
Baltimore by General Cas- so was the other
superseded nj Philadelphia by the nomination
OF Fremont. From the very outset, however

pure revenge, while we are willing to concede
that Mr.. Fillmore has thus far held on with the
dclusive idea that by fighting buchanan in the
south and aiding Buchanan against Fremon,
in the North, the election might be carried to
the House. From this moment however u.
there i M other way OF preventing the election
OF Buchanan by the people than by the con.
ccntration OF the whole opposition strength o
the North upon single ticket, the position ol
Mr. Fillmore and his party, as separate inter.

that Of Van Buren, in lS4s.
We ARE aware that the Fillmore party of
this State have been liattering themselves with
the idea that the vote OF New York is good

the plea of John Van Bnren in behalf of his
venerable father in As, but il was a sham
