high position in the machinery of the sham
Democratic party, has said to a political
friend, within the last month, that, whist he
was doing all he could for Buchanan, and he
should continue to do SO, there soas no chance
Of his stccess' 1t would not be just to the
individual referred to- for us to place him in the
unpleasant relation to his party Of having made
this admission, and especially as his declara-
ton was not made for the public, but commu-
nicated privately, and casually o0erheard; but
We are prepared to sho,0, if necessary, that we
have this information from most reliable
source .,.
We stated long ago, and we now repeat, and
upon this opinion we are willing to be Judged
in the future, as to our political sagacity, or our
soant of it, that Mr.. Buchanan has not the
slightest chance of success in this contest He
may divide the vote Of the Southern and South
western States, with Mr.. Fillmore, that is
possible, he may, and it is probable that he
DiU carry Missouri-he may carry North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, and Texas--he may carry Virginia
that's debatable ground--but he will not carry
either Delaware, Maryland, Louisiana, Tennes-
see or Kentucky, and he aay lose Georgia and
Alabama, and possibly others of the Southern
States. He has no more chance in California,
in New York, in New Jersey, or in a single
one of the Northwestern States, than FIRE.
mont has to carry Virginia.
Nor will Mr.. Buchanan carry single New
England State--we hold this to be impossible.
He may carry Pennsylvania, possibly, in
triangular fight, but it is far more probable
that he will lose Pennsylvania. An intelligent
gentleman of Erie, Pennsylvania, under date
August 21st, says that Fremont will take at
least go, 900 votes from the sham Democratic
party. He says, among other things, that
"the Bishop (Catholic) of Erie has said that
Buck will be the worst licked man Of the
threel" In other words, the Bishop of Erie
means, that the whole foreign vote, as we have
asserted, would go en- masse for
Fremont Our correspondent says, that if
the American party would do its duty in that
State, Fillmore would carry it by from twenty
to thirty thousand votes" Even in Pennsyl
yania, he considers the contest between Fill
more and Fremont.
Mr. Buchanan may obtain, if he remains in
the field, some sixty, seventy or eighty votes,
but we regard it as by no means certain, that
he will get sixty electoral votes unless he
should carry Pennsylvania, and then his vote
could hardly reach ninety. 1t is perfectly,
true, that if Mr.. Fillmore had not been nomi-
mated, or were he notc from any cause to be
withdrawn, Mr.. Buchanan would get the one
hundred and twenty electoral votes of the
South, and there his count would end, because
unfortunately for Mr.. Buchanan and unfor-
tunately for the country, the sham Democracy
have deliberately accepted the sectional issue
rendered by the sham Republicans of the
North, and were the conservative national
American party to withdraw from the contest,
school boy, who has learned addition and
substraction could in one moment deduct 100
from 296 and show Fremont's vote to be 176
and his majority over Buchanan to be fifty-six
votes.
No man need attempt to deny that the peo-
pie have come down upon Democracy at the
North like an avalanche, and overwhelmed it.
Not only did the Congressional elections to the
present House prove the fact, but those that
have occurred in the free States since that time
have furnished conclusive prooftha the decree
has gone forth, that this present dynasty shall
terminate on the Sd day of March, 1851 The
decree is irrevocable The only point is, sOhat
party shall succeed itP In some sections the
American element predominated, even in the
North, in overthrowing the sham Democracy,
whilst in other sections of the North, Repub-
