A Disappointed Fremouter.

The Chicago Tribune says that a
friend residing in Palatine precinct,
Cook county, promised that Palaline
would go unanimously for Fremont. He
said that all the Democrats had been
converted but one tough old fellow. who
could neither read nor write but that a
compromise had been affected with him
that he had agreed to pair off with a
Fremonter, and not go to the polls
But his hopes failed, as this letter will
show:
PALATrNE. Nov. 5h, 1856.

he wouldn't stay paired. An Iri,h-
man got into the precinct and voted. II

did the best under the circumstances we
could.

ANOTHER EMINENT " OLD LINE WH1e"
FOR BUCHANAN.-In the United States
Senate. on Saturday, Governor Jones OF
Tennessee, alluded to letter he had ad-
dressed to his constituents in April last,
in which he had pledged himself, after
the political parties had selected their
candidates, that he would survey Impair.
TALLY the whole ground, and then decide
with which party he would act.
de said he was now prepared to re-
deem that pledge, aud proceeded to re-
view the qualifications of the different can
didates, avowing his preference for Mr..
Buchanan. He belonged TO neither Of
the political parties. nor did he expect 20
belong to either Of them, and he might
then ask in the language of Mr.. Webster,
Where shall Igo ?" He examined the
Democratic platform, and, although hav-
ing no very great regard for platforms in
general, which were for the most part
cunningly devised schemes to catch votes
and gull the people, yet he was willing TO
endorse the whole Demscratic platform,
the Monroe doctrine not excepted. 1t
was true the American party had prefer
mltted the slavery question, but he did not
believe they were sound on the Kansas
question. He had been asked by his po.
htlcal associates how. in the name of God
he could vote for Mr.. Buchanan? which
he would answer in Yankee styIe-how,
in the name Of God. could they swallow
Andrew Jackson DOuelson? He defen-
ded Mr.. Buchanan from the charge made
against him, to wit e.: that he Buchanan
was the author of the SANDER against Mr..
Clay about bargain. intrigue, and corrup-
ton, and read letters from Mr.. CIay's
friends, from his biographer, Mr.. Prentice.
and from Mr.. Clay himself, all Of which
acquitted Mr.. B. in the most satisfactory
manner Of having any agency in that vile
calumny. Mr.. Buchanan was not his
choice. He would have supported Mr.
Fillmore. but what were the chances Of
success for that distinguished gentleman?
His most ardent friends claimed for him
but four States. aud if he got them all he
would still be minus sixty votes OF reach
ing the goal. But from the signs Of the
times. dill 1t appear aUith certainty that he
could carry any one of then2 Again, sup
pose the election brought him to the
House of Representatives. how would his
chances be improved ? OF the Demo:
red Stephen A. Douglas, who had so no
bly, and so fearlessly sustained Southern
rights. and had perilled so much in their
behalf. He expressed the hope that the
time would come when that high minded
aud patriotic statesman would receive the
reward of his disinterested and noble bea-
ring. Here some applause in The gale
ries was manifested
