The California American is of the opinion that
Fillmore must carry the State. 1t remarks:
The Fillmore party have much to rejoice at in
the great change in popular feeling which has man
ifested itself the past few weeks throughout this
State, and all we have to do to accomplish far
more glorious victory than perched upon our ban
last year. is TO continue the work thus molly b.
gun until the hour of election arrives. Without
intending to exaggerate particle, we can consci-
entiously assert that we firmly believe that at the
present writing there are ten thousand more Fill
more men in California than there we're one month
ago, and we sincerely think that he will carry the
State by majority that will even astonish the
most sanguine minds. We base our opinions upon
the innumerable letters received, and personal in
terviews held with persons residing in every por-
ton of the State, and all agree in the opinion,
that in our stronghold of last year we are more
powerful than ever, while our opponents are weak
er and more distracted. In FL Dorado, Placer,
Sierra, Tuolumne, Amador and Mariposa, q re-.
markable enthusiasm has been aroused, and what
is still better, it is not fictitious sbultion of feel
ing, but warm gushes, from patriotic Union-loving
hearts. In San Francisco where, few weeks
ago, the name of Fillmore was scarcely mentioned,
our friends speak in the most encouraging manner,
and announce their firm determination to rescue
it from the hands Of the Republicans; that they
viii succeed, We cannot for moment doubt.
