supervision no doubt OF the editor of the Journal,
have sent out through the country circular,
headed, Democratic Head Quarters, sub-Commit-
tee of Democratic Executive Committee" signed
by some six names, asking various questions i'm.
plying fraud and corruption, and among others:
SHow many purchasable voters are there in your
county, and to which party do they belong2 A
complete list Of these sent to us might be service
able"
These scsmps represent themselves IS branch
of the Democratic Central Committee, and request
al answers to be addressed to them, box 1922,
Louisville, KY. The democratic papers expose it
a. most vilainous fraud, just such as could only
be concocted in Louisville.
We call attention to this circumstance that our
friends in Tennessee may be prepared for the arts
and practices that sre to be brought into this can
vaBs, and that they may know what amount OF
importance is due to the various stories that may
be circulated over the country Let US be prepar-
ed for any thing from this out.

of special dispatches announcing thst the State

Is FILLMORE IN FAVOR OF THE RESTORATION OF

says in his letter resigning the Presidency of the
Fillmore and Donelson Club of Culpeper county,
that Mr.. Fillmore shss been written to recently,
by Mr.. Kendall American Assistant Elector for
the county of Orange, VAL asking whether he
would or would not sanction bill restoring the
Missouri Compromise and repeating the Kansas
act, and he replied by sending [himl his Rochester
Speech" Comment upon this act of the Model
President is unnecessary.
There is but one inference to be drawn. In
bis Rochester speech he says that the repeal of
the Missouri Restriction, (Which was but carrying
out in good faith the legislation of 1850 is the
cause of the evils that now afict the country; and
thereby be pledges himself to the renewal Of that
cause by the restoration of the line. This is Ere.
