From the North Carolina Argus.
The following dialogue between Farmer
IRON the country and Merchant, Il is said
occurred in a town not hundred miles IRON
Fayetteville:
! Merchant. Good morning, farmer Is. How
are politics in YOUR section Of the country
Farmer. We have not much excitement
in our vicinity. The majority, or nearly all,
! might say, are going lor Fillmore and Don
els0a.

l!y Buchanan men! knew that some 81 You
were Democrats. and some old line Wings,
besides the only hupe of the country y the
election d Buchanan aud the defeat ot FIRE.
mont hence. concluded you would be nearly
j unanimous for Buchanan.
/ f. 1 have never been strict partizan IN
my life and upon examination Of all the facts
within my reach, came to the conclusion
that Fillmore was the most reliable man.
Many Of NV neiehbnrs entertaining similar
moderate views upon politics. have done the
same thing. The signs II the times Indicate
to NE at present that Fillmore will be tn
lumphanlly elected but whether he will or not
he is my choice, ma,le up on as impartial
Judgment as could give upon any subject /;
and such being the case, should ! not vote
for hun:
M You do not attach the Importance 70
The defeat Of Fremont that ynu ought, or you
would support Buchanan. lie is undoublcd-
lly, the strongest man and il the old line
Wings would unite with the Democratic par
~ and the conservative men OF thr c"uHiry,
amongst the latter of which see you incline
To class yourself, buchanan would be elected,
and the Constitution ami the Union w0Hld
thereby be preser,cd-peaee and quietwouid
be restored to the country.
f. You cannot DENY that Mr. Fillmore is
a conservative national man; that he is re-
liab.e ard has proven himself able and Pairi-
otto. Mr.. Buchanan stands upon the very
same platform with some additions that d.
not think moderate men will regard with
much favor; that Pierce did and dues now,
and the Democratic party with him. The
, country was in peace and quiet when Mr.
Pearce came into the Presidency. BY what
art, magic nr policy tile Democratic part,
are TO restore the country 10 quiet and peace
by the election Of Buchanan, pledged To tie
very same pnlicy as his predecessor, coui,

Democratic friepds never condesesnd To in

late Cincinnati platform. which he SAYS en-
Z bodies his sentiments, and the principles hl
