BSs- 1t is exceedingly strange that while South
ern men say that Mr. Fillmore IS only in the way
of Buchanan, and that, If he we're out of the way,
Buchanan would be elected, the Northern men say
precisely the same thing of him in regard to FREE

could elect Fremont! The truth is, he is in the
way.of both of them, and, being candidate
neither Of them can he elected.

Congress had deserted Fillmore; the North Amer

to the truth of the matter. They replied that is
was false, that Flmore's friends in Congress were
confident of his election and considered it essential
to the safety of the Union What miserable mean
trickery this is. 1t proves that the antics are get

BUCHANAN REcRurrs.--A Sag Nicht paper in
Cincinnati recently gave letter from Maysville,
KY, furnishing the names of six persons who, it
was said, were old line Wings, but would sup
port Buchanan. A Maysville gentleman, in a
letter to the Cincinnati Times, says he is respon-
sible for the following statemens as to the charac-
ter of the six:
One is a low gambler; fonder of whisky than of
any just principle whatever The second has been
tried for setting fire to houses in Maysvile. The
third is of character similar to the first. The
fourth was tried for shooting one of his comrades
but was cleared by the evidence of one of the
clique, and because the people did not consider the
community aggrieved if he had killed him. The
fifth is crazy man who travels the streets contin
ually, sleeping in out-houses and wherever he viii
not be disturbed And the last is q keeperof .
coffee house, at which those persons drink, he him
self having been several times indicted for selling
| liquor to the negroes.

1as~ We have received number of letters
from various parts of the country asking our
opinions as to the prospects of the respective can
didates for the Presidency. We have not time
to answer all such letters, and we refer the writer's
to the columns of the Journal for our answer
They will find there week after week, and day
after day, our real end sincere opinions as to the
result of the campaign.
We believe that Mr. Fillmore is at this mo-
ment the strongest candidate in the field, and that
his popularity is daily and hourly increasing. We
are certain that if all those at the South and in
the North,wh really prefer Mr.. Fillmore, would
at once declare their intention to vote for him, he
would be elected by an overwhelming majority.
We are satisfied that he will obtain more than
votes enough in the North to defeat the election
of Fremont, and if the people Of the South will
but turn deaf ear to the desperate msrepresen-
tations of his opponents and give him united
support, the result of the campaign will be abso-
lutely certain in favor of Fillmore ..and Donelson
and the Union.--L0u. Journal.

FILLMORE STRENGTH INCREASING NORTH
The Providence, r. I. Post, (Democratic) states
that the Fillmore men in that city are numerous,
and are steadily increasing; and further, that they
comprise the most intelligent, wealthy and iniu-
entail citizens.
The Boston Traveller of the 7th gives an ac-
count of some half dozen Fillmore meetings in
Massachusetts, all numerously attended, and char
| acterlzed by much enthusiasm. Clubs had just
| been formed in various towns, and others are to
be formed soon. The best spirit prevails, and i,
| is evident that there are no sounder or warmer
friends of Mr.. Fillmore in the Union than In Mas
sachusetts. 1t is apparent that they intend to con
test the ground with Black Republicanism ane
Dsunionism, which, indeed, are synonymous terms
with the resolution and irmness becoming men en-
gagged in a nomentous struggle.
