Of speakings in this and adjoining counties,
which we ought, perhaps, in justice TO the
gallant champions of our cause, to publish;

Stephens, Of Monroe, in debate Mt Mouse

plete victory over him. We were not sur
prised to hear Of such result; though Maj
Stephens possesses much more than ordinary
abilities. But he is altogether too fair,
candid and ingenious man to defend n
rotten and doomed cause; and what induced

which he himself perhaps is not able TO nc

press says:
"Peter G. Washington, the hangman of

his approximations that Buchanan would be
defeated, in consequence Of the general
demonstrations of the Od-l.ine Wings for
Fillmore. Peter is the shrewdest politician

r9g- Democratic sneakers nnd presses. I,

Wy Democratic speakers ana presses, re-
marks the Nashville Patriot, have been telling
the country that the election of Fremont
would bring about dissolution of the Union.
They take great pains to impress this belief
upon the minds of the people; but, alas, for
their consistency and honor, they follow up
their efforts in this respect, by solemnly de-
claring that Willard Fillmore is n worse aboi.
zionist than Fremont, and just as dangerous
Partisan spirit has made them so insane they
cannot comprehend the inconsistency of these
positions. Mr.. Fillmore has filled the Pres-
dental chaiI-he went into il when the coun.
try was beset by dangers growing out of the
slavery question, and instead of Increasing
these dangers, his administration Gained the
public mind and restored peace and good
will. The troubles were driven off like mists
before the God of Day. Now, if Fillmore is
worse aboilionist than Fremont, the latter
must be rs harmless as dove, and no danger
could result to the country from his election.
Such is the inconsistency in which Demo.
cratic orators and presses, led on by such
reckless chiefs as Andrew Johnson, are daily
involving themselves.

The MAINE ELEcTIoNs.-Th Maine cleo.
tions, in which the opposition to the Republi.
can Party has been very NAL adroif, in not
bringing n Fillmore electoral ticket into the
field early in the season, have gone for the
Republican party, and elected Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin, abolition Democracy for Governor
as was to be expected. The Democrats
have been thoroughly used up by the Re-
pub!icans-and the friends of Fillmore have
had no part either way, having no ticket in
the field. The State-an old Democratic
State-may be considered lost to Buchanan.
The Southern buchanan men will see in
this resuls-another demonstration of what
their allies, the Democracy of TIE North,
amount to. Hamlin, as a Democratic U. S.
Senator, went for Pierce, and the Pierce Ad.
minisiralion, voting for all the spoils, and
about all the measures. The friends of Fill.
more left the Buchanan Democracy free, and
open field to try conclusions inland the re-
suit, is "the Northern allies of the Southern
Democracy" are not to be relied upon-but
on the contrary, they have gone, horse, foot
and dragons, over to sectionalism!

NORTHERN Democracy WooING THE ABo.
LITToNIsTs.-A few days ago the Cincinnati
Enquirer rabid Buchanan organ, announced
the following:
In the Warren Congressional District our
friends have nominated Dnrbn Ward, ESQ.,, a
distinguished and eloquent Old Line Wing,
for Congress. This is one of the strongest
Abolition districts in the State, but we look
Tor great diminution in the majority against

1t will be remembered that very recently
the leaders of the Democratic party in War.
rem went over into the freesol camp, horse,
foot, and Dragons. 1t seems that the Demo-
cratic party of that district is become totally
aboltionzed. The Cincinnati Commercial
says:
Durbin Ward, Esq, has been for years
known MS an Aboliionist-a sort of strong
minded female in phntaloons, who regularly
caught and broke out thick with all the pre-
vailing political epdemics of the times, and

portion of his auditory very well-at least
we heard several OF. them remarking, after
the speaking was over that "Filmore had
no chancep' We asked them what they
grounded such an opinion upon-they repli-
ed "Major Key told us so in his speeches to.
day." Nuf ced, thought we; but We could
not help rejecting upon the credulity of the

country, are practicing upon the simplicity
and honesty of the ranN and file of their
party, and leading them on, step by step.

rors of facts and figures, and winding up
with the same lame and impotent conclusion

manner, showing wherein he was wrong and
that the true national candidate and the man
to beat Fremont with, is Willard Fillmore

of that plurality rule, which resulted in the
election of Banks to the Speakership of the

natural, as that was an ugly business, n sad
mistake, which, in our poor opinion, after a
candid investigation of all the points bearing
upon it, has contributed no little to the pres.
ent rampant and threatening position of the
