EilllnOre'a Chances.

IL IS amusing to witness efforts Of tlfc Fill
more men, to convince outsiders, that their
Clubs have nothing to do with Know Moth
ingism. They take particular pains to in.
form outsiders of this, in order that they
need not be accused of upholding the pro.
scriptive doctrines Of that party and as cor.
roberativc of this position, they point boast
ngly to the fact, that they have ia their
Clubs, the Celt, the British, and the Ger
man, and, for aught we know, they may
have Cinnamon.
1t Is well known, that many foreigners
were members OF the Know Nothing organi.
cation last year, and thc mere fact that there
are foreigners in their Clubs, does not free
them from the charge OF Know Nothingism.
Mr.. Fillmore was nominated by the Know
Nothing party. it is generally understood,
and asserted. by tnosc who ought to know,
that Mr.. Fillmore, is himself third degree
member Of the x. n order, and that he is
running expressly upon the proscriptve and
ultra doctrines Of that decaying party
Should he be elected, it would be claimed
as a Know Nothing triumph. the spols will
be shared by those who have Travelled over
tho country, establishing Know Nothing
institutions, and the foreigner, who has all
ed in his elevation, will then find that he
has 6een the dupe of party, whose very ex-
istence was conceived in prescription whose
success was achieved by Misrepresentation,
and that he has been contributing to the
success of n party, whose avowed doctrine,
is to deprive him of the privileges hereto
fore extended to the oppressed Of all nations.
If there are foreigners in the RANKS Of the
Fillmore men, we would ask them to turn to
the platform of the convention which nemi-
mated him, and whose candidate lie is, and
they will find there plank prescribing for
eigners from exercising the pGiEeleges guar.
anteed to him by the laws of the country,
and upheld by the Democracy. lfthey then
determine to vote against themselves, let
them believe the sophistry put forth by the
Know Nothing Fillmore men.
The Fillmore men are making n desperate
struggle. Some aPeeanguine enough to be-
lieve that they can elect him by the people;
but by far the larger number think they
can throw the election into the House OF
Representatives, and that Fillmore will then
be elected. Those who believe that the pres
ent House of Representatives would elect Mr..
Fillmore, should consult the chances. before
concluding to hazard the result In the
election of President, blythe House of Rep
resentatives, each state has one vote, given
by a majority of the delegation of that state.
The election would have to be determined
by the prest IL. orr. the political complex
ion of which, is as follows:
FOR FREMONT.
Maine, New York,
New.Hampshire, New Jersey,
Vermont, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Ohio,
Rhode Island, Indiana,
Connecticut, Michigan,
Wisconsin.
FOR flLLMORE.
Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky,
TIED.
Tennessee Democrats and 5 Americans,
Texas Democrat and American,
Iowa. Democrat and Republican.
TIED AT PRESENT.
The delegations of the following named
States are also tied but there is a. vacancy
! in both, to be flied this fall They are:
| Missour-3 Democrats and 3 Americans,
Illinois Democrats and Republicans equal.
FOR BUCHANAN.
Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina,
California, LOUISIANA.
South Carolina, Virginia,
From the above it will be seen that there
are ten states, the vote of which will be cast
for Mr. Buchanan; three states that will
cast their votes for Mr.. Fillmore; thirteen
for Fremont; three tied, and two the char
acter OF whose votes will be determined at
tire next election.
1t is not possible by any combination OF
circumstances, for Mr.. Fillmore TO receive
over four votes in the present house OF Rep
resentatives, anditis altogether improba-
bic, that the ten states voting for Dir. Bu'
