down upon the North Buchanan2 To elect Buchanan
bT the Southern, with any such Northern votess as

TO the Northern fanatics for further agitation? What

Is not pretended in the South that Buchanan is truer
man to the Union than FiTnore-and yet it is known
and te-that the election Of Fillmore viii pacify the
whole eountry-and restore harmonYas ;iii IS50-by
settling all disputes upon just and patriotic basis
against which no sound complaint, can come from
either section It is not the triumph of either section
that a Just and patriotic American can desire--but
with justice to allan amnesty-a pacifcation.
But " Fillmore has no chance3-We are told-and.
therefore, between Fremont and Bnchanal-we take

Of Faeaonts election. The thing is matheniaticslly
impossible. He starts with fifteen Southern States
dead against him. and in the sixteen Northern States
he must carry about all of them, certainly Pennsyl
vana-Wnch, It's not pretended even, that he has a
chance OF carrying against the friends ofFillniore
there Dispe then this illusion, that the contest is
between Fremont and Buchanan-for the practical
contest where that is approached is only between
Fillmore and Buchanan. One or the other must Ger.

Men, however, ought not to gamble as it were in
potcs-especlally when parties become geographi-
cal but without regard to results do right. Is it
right to elect Fillmore over Buchanan? Or rather
is it not wrong, not thus to elect him? ". 2's
What Filmores policy is, or is to be- we kno,c from
the records of 1850 and on-but what Buchanans is
to te-we know not, because his party, for the first
time have interpolated foreign plank in their plat
form, which under the inspiration of the Sonles may
enbroil this country with all the world. Buchanan
IS pledged to that policy. am no more James Bu
chanaa, he tells u.s. btt The Cincinnati platform Thus,
war abroad and continued discord at home, are the
promised fruits of such an election It is not wrong
then, thus to vote. Nay is it nota crime and with
out any regard to Fimores chances ought not every
man to do right, knowing that God in the end will
maintain the right ??
@ It lis crime too-make this election geographical
as the Fremont and Buchanan men are making it.
Millard Fillmore alone removed the canvass from this
danger OF sectonalty. Fremonts strength is all
North Fillmore alone emlbodies the conservatism of
the whole union.a Fillmore alone has the hands and
hearts of the conservative in all parts Of the
Union. It is a folly then to try to triumph over the
North with Buchanan, or over the South with Fr

Now, the Express is not journal that prophecies
or, predicts-as some other journals often do. Do
right aciihont regard to results, has been our
maxim, and our policy. Hence-we have no predic.
tons to make-but we have right to say--the can.
yass, the part of the Fillmore partyin the North
has scarcely begun. The history Of Fremont, Fill
mores real combatant here is not yet known to our
farmers. They have heard Of him only as a geo.
prapher-hut they have not heard of him yet-as
statesman soldieror as to his principles. The first
goof is already abont gone Oft. The Northern peo-
pie are not long dupes, and when duped they soon
emancpate themselves from dupery. The more time
given u.s. the more increase our strength. In the
New England states we have not, as yet, fairly ap-
preached the peoplecertainly not beyond the State
of Connecteut-bnta as we come before the public
we rapidly dispel the Fremont delusion The whole
Fremont sham is daily coming out-and daily enlan-
cipatng them from it When the people are reached
olfthe stumpthe friends of the Fremont press will
| soon vanish before free discussion. t
The most alarming element Of this canvass espe-
cialy to the South is the abandonment of the Dem
ocracy by the Germans, and to some extent by the
Irish The Americans do not court foreign votes but
accept them gfateully-if given to American prin-
ciples. The Democracy of the North, however, ex-
lists on, nay breathes its foreign vote. Take away
its foreign vote and it is nowhere in the North on
election day, especially in the villages, towns and
cities. Now. the German vote, to great extent has
gone over to Fremont, and this abandonment of this
portion of the Northern Democracy shows how little
reliance the South can really place on the Northern
Democratic party. In the very first sectional onset
the foreign Democracy of the Democratic party enlis
in a sectional warfare against the South. The ARed''
| Germans and the " Black Republicans are in close
alliance against the South and all are equally the en-.
emies of Fillmore What is the duty OF the South.
