Fillmore's Prospects.

Ffllmore's Prospects.
We presented on yesterday few extracts
from letters received from correspondents in
different parts of the country, showing how
rapidly popular opinion is concentrating in
favor Of the American ticket, and we present
to-day few more, which came to hand by
this mornings mail In thus presenting these
extracts we have not time to arrange them in
any sort of method, but present them promis-
cuously, as we open our letters
A friend, residing in Little Rock, Arkansas,
says
1.-THE American party Is gaining ground in our
poor, benighted, down,trodden, Locofoco Arkan-
sas. We honestly believe that General Yell, our
candidate for Governor win be elected; also, Col
onel Fowler and Mr.. Thomason our candidates for
Congress- Can it be that the American people
will cleo. Buchanan over such q man as Fillmore,
who has been tried and found true to the whole
country"
From York, Pennsylvania, we have letter,
which, after giving US the most favorable as
surances, proceeds to state what confirms the
charge made against Mr. Buchanan and the
drop Of Democratic blood We give the
precise words of this living witness Of that
declaration which Buchanan's friends pretend
10 deny, but which is susceptible of the clear
est proof He says:

lancaster where he (Buchanan) boarded, on the

table asked him If he was Democrats He said
that lie thought if he had any Democratic blood in
him he ,couid let IL o,t. That was great day in

So it seems that Mr. Buchanan had repeated
the declaration that if he had any Democratic
blood in his veins he would let 1t out for his
first declaration of this character was made
when Mr.. Buchanan had just finished his law
studies, and gentleman suggested to him to
settle Mt village which he then named, and to
become Democrat, as that village was most.

The next extract we shall present, is from
the city Of Lancaster, the residence of Mr.. Blu
chanan. The writer considers the contest
in Pennsylvania as being between Fillmore
and Fremont, leaving Mr.. Buchanan out of the
question, because the Germans and Irish have
left the administration party and gone over to
Fremont. He then, says:
1.-THE Fremont converts are backsliding every
day. and think by next November there will be
but few Americans left to advocate his cause.
Those Americans who had joined his ranks have
found out by this time that they have got into a
shard party They say they are net quite ready to
be auctioned of 70 John and his beautiful gang.
So you will hear next November that Pennsylva-

others in different portions Of that have given
us, and we doubt not its entire truth, for, as we
have repeatedly stated, those North Americans,
who are opposed to foreignism and Popery on
one hand, and to non-intervention in the Ter
ritories on the other, are now obliged, by the
present positions of the candidates, to aban-
dor their Americanism and join an anti Amer
lean and sectional party, or abandon sectional
ism for the sake Of their American doctrines.
From Tennessee, a distinguished gentleman
OF the American party, writes us laconically,
but enthusiastically, and closes bis remarks by
saying:
I'VE are all in good spirits. Tennessee is safe
for our candidates"
From California we have most encouraging
letter, closing as follows:
The American party is all right In California.
We shall succeed by thousands 7"
From Shelby county. Alabama, friend
writes US saying:
Fillmore stock is rising rapidly In this part Of
Alabama since Buchsnsn's letter of acceptsnce.--

From Sumpter County, Ala, a gentleman
says:
THE Democrats are working with desperation.
doing all they can to make the people believe that
there is no chance for Fillmore and that thew
ought to support Buchanan in order TO save the
country from Abolitionism. Now everybody ought
TO know that Fillmore Is sounder on that subject
than Buchanan, and the former has been tried and
all parties were satisfied and none spoke in higher
terms OF his administration than the Democrats---
