Of the Union which win be memorable in all time
| TO come"
| Indeeds And when the election Of NoVem-
Der shall have passed, and when sold Squat
ter Sovereign shall have been distanced, las
he will be, unless withdrawn this same press
will say of the general humiliation of this
sham Democratic party, "THs HAS NOT BEEN
UNEXPECTED TO usl" How long will the South
be fooled by such presses as this same Wash
ington Union2 That press knows that Blu
chanan cannot get one Northern State unless
the friends of Fillmore shall aid him to do it,
and it is our "6elisf" that the friends of Fill
more will not bnoaOingIy assist either Of the
rival sectional factions in any State in this
| Union.
We have all along predicted, that Buchanan
would not carry a single Northern State, and
our opinion is unchanged Elections have
transpired in three Northern States, within the
last four weeks, two of which have hitherto
been Democratic States. In those two Demo
cratic States iowa and Maine) the sham Dem
ocrats have been badly, wofully, aye shame
fully beaten. In the other State (Vermon) the
Democratic vote has been reduced to a mere
nominal amount, whilst the Republican vote
has been doubled. No candid Democrat in the
whole North, expects Buchanan to carry a sin
gle State, UNLESS the Fillmore electoral tickets
| should, in some two or three States, SO far di-
minish Fremont's vote as to leave Buchanan a
plurality. But win our friends run tickets
where there is no chance of success? They
will themselves take this policy into consider
alton.
Our view Of the present contest is precisely
this. There are two sectional candidates and
one national candidate In one-half of the
States of the South, or more, the national can
didate will receive majority of the votes In
all of them he would get the entire vote were
Buchanan out of the contest. In the North,
the national candidate, Fillmore, will have a
decided plurality in New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and perhaps in Pennsylvania,
and some other States. He would be elected
triumphantly, were Buchanan to be withdrawn.
1t Is evident, that eDen soere such an event to
happen, that Buchanan should carry euery
Southern State he would be defeated He
represents not single element that is national.
A rally of the Southern States upon hiqe would
make it a purely sectional issue.
The utmost, then, that can be accomplished,
by keeping Buchanan in the field would be to
throw the election into the House, and there,
he has no earthly chance Of success In the
House, Fillmore would be elected in the end,
the Republican States being there brought to
the point where they would have to elect Fill
more or see this dynasty perpetuated through
Breckenridge. But the withdrawal of Bu:han-
an would result in the election of Fillmore by
the people. The dangers apprehended by thou
sands, from throwing the election into the
House, would be avoided, and his election
would be the triumph of the Union men and
the conservatives. Such an. election would
rally all the conservatives around Mr. Fill
more. Would this not be preferable in all
respects to his election by Republican States
in the House?
Elected by the Union men and conservatives
of the country, Mr.. Fillmore would be strength-
ened in his administration, in the very ele-
ments of his election. Elected by the Repub-
lican States in the House, added to the Fill
more States, would he hold the same COM
manding positions and would he have the
same power to arrest extreme legislation p
would he be as well sustained in quieting agi-
tation and restoring harmony to the country?
An American-Co nservative-U admins
tration, under Fillmore and Donelson, would
have the strength which Jackson welded,
and would give to the nation that peace and
quiet which Monroe inauguratedl
Should not the Southern conservative
Union-loving people of the country, laying
aside their partisan prejudices, at once rally to
the support of Fillmore, when there is not a
shadow of hope of the success of Buchanan?
Do they doubt he would preserve the Union
by the restoration Of pence and harmony? Is
there a Democrat in the whole South, so big
oted, so prejudiced, as not to admit, that Fill
more has every good quality which is attributed
to Buchanan Will not Democrats lay aside
their prejudices to save our institutions?
Buchanan cannot be elected either by the peo-
pie or by the House, whilst Fillmore can be
elected by the electoral colleges, if all those
who profess horror of Republicanism, will
adopt this only sure means of its defeat
Hon. James A. Pearce, OF Maryland.
Our attention was called this morning to
the letter of Mr.. Pearce dated September 9Th,
and published in the Inteligencer of yester-
day, in which letter that gentleman denies the
truth of an article heretofore published in the
