The Democratic party, says the Louisville
Journal, is everywhere affected by the Fremont
movement precisely as it is affected BY it in
Kentucky. 1t Is shorn of its strength and rem
dered utterly powerless, particularly in the
North, where the foreign vote is the greatest
The defeat of Mr. Buchanan is fixed fact. His
party was already greatly in the minority in the
North, and this recent detection from 1t has been
so immense, so beyond all calculation, that there
is now not the slightest probability that the vote
of single Northern State will be given to its
candidate

FREMONT IN KENTuoKY-A Fremont electoral

for the Democratic candidates in the last State

Testimonial from High Source.

Ali the charges now preferred by the Buch-
anan party against Mr.. Fillmore, can be trium-
phantly met and refuted by the testimony of ma
ny of their own most distinguished men, volun-
tarily given in times past. Not among the least
cordial and unqualified was that Of the Hon.
John E. Ward, President of the Cincinnati Con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Buchanan. Du-
ring the Spring of 1854, Mr.. Fillmore took q
tour through the Southern States, and was eve
rywhere received with enthusiasm. At Savan-
nah Mr. Ward was the spokesman, and after al
luding to the troubles of the country when MIR.
Fillmore came into office, he said:
sit was your lot to breast that storm, and bid
its mutterings cease, and to do that You must
turn away from the crowds of flatterers to tread
the lonely path Of duty. With your robes OF Of
fee as with q panoply of ice, you wrapped your
self from all the prejudices of earlier years, and
from all the temptations which then surrounded
you, 'unterrfied by threats, unaweG by clamors,
you held on your steady course preserved the
constitution of your country, gave peace to the
land we love, and repose to the institutions
which we cherish, Illustrating to the world that
peace has its victories no less renowned than
war; 1t is fit and proper, now, when You have
laid aside place and power and patronage that
the affections of grateful people should follow
you to your home, and linger around you in your
retirement AS the constituted authorities OF
the city of Savannah, we welcome you within
her limits-as the representatives Of the people
we welcome you to our hospitalities,--as por-
ton of her citizens, ace are7eOme yoa to ourhOmes
and our hearts,"
This, be it remembered, was long after Mr.
Fillmore's Erie letter, part of which is now re-
produced with great hue-and-cry, was written
and after he had performed every act for which
his opponents now pretend to censure him.
Surely the President of the Cincinnati Conven'
ton knew what he was talking about.

GENERAL JAoKsoN's OPINION OF OLD Buck
Two of the Buchanan papers in this city and
some elsewhere have actually charged us with
torqing the letter recently published in oul
columns, and purporting to have been written
by General jackson few weeks before his
death, upon the subject of Mr.. Buchanans con
duct during the Presidential contest In the House
of Representatives in 1926. The letter is as
follows:
'.HERMrAGE, February %, 1S45.-Your OBJ
servations with regard to Mr.. Buchanan are cor
rect. lie saooced aoant Of moral courage in the
affair of tile intrigue of Adams and Clay-did
not do me Justice in the expose he then made
and am sure about that time did believe there
was perfect understanding between Adams and
Clay about the Presidency and the Secretary Of
State. This l am sure of. But whether he
viewed that there was any corruption or not,
know not, but one thing do know that he scish
ed me to combact them qcith their 0acn aoeapons-'
that pas to let my friends sag if I scas elected
qcouI make Mr. Clay Secretary Of State
This to me appeared gross corruption, and re.
PEELED it with that honest indignation as (which
/ thought it deserved"
Those who charge that the letter is forgery
know that the charge is q scandalous falsehood
They all know that the letter was first publish
ed by the editor of the Nashville Banner, witt
the statement that he had the original document
before him in General Jackson's own hand writ
ing. They all know that the original letter is
now in the editor of the Banners possession ano
is exhibited by him to any one who wishes te
see it. They all know that Gen. Jackson's a
dopted son, Buchanan man and very weak
man. has made a communication to the public
condenning its publication, but admitting ane
asserting its genuineness. They all know tina
no Sag-Nicht paper in Nashville, when it wa
first published and where the original manuscript
still exists, had expressed or dared to express {
doubt of its genuineness. This getting up OF
charge Of forgery shows how deeply, how fear
fully, how terribly the Sag-Nichts feel the ntiu
enee of this letter, written, as 1t were, by tn
dying hand of the most worshipped OF thei
champions. And well may they feel it deepl.
and painfully and agonizingly, for they can res
assured that 1t will operate with tremendou
energy against them.-Loaisrille Journal.
