defsat buchanan, Mr. Fillmore's friends

defeat Huchanan. Mr. E1llmoTe's friends
ate perfectly sure Of success II the election
goes into the House, and there it will inesi-
tably 60 unless the South decide 10 support
him. flour Democratic friends expect to
make any capital In The South upon any sup
posed or real fusion at the North or West
between the friends of Fillmore and Free
mont, they are mistaken. for the fusion
would be to advance Mr.. Fillmore and not
to elect Fremont Ia vast difference. As yet
Mr. Fillmore's friends are contendiDg for
the ELECTORAL vote every where, and it is
to be hoped that the second sober thought
ofthe people will give it to him. In Pen-
sylvania his friends have rejected all pro-
positions for fushion--but this Black Re-
publican sentiment is SO strong in certain
quarters that it would be almost insanity to
say that Fremont can be SO defeated
as TO elect Fillmore or Buchanan, without
a united vote in The South, and as 1T is per-
fectly certain that Fillmore Is much the
strongest man in the North, why should
not the South resolve at once to support
hiu,7 1t is ee ttan that Buchanan cannot be
elected aud the fact that certain Wings in
the South have gone over 10 Buchanan,
will OF course induce the friends Of Mr.
Fillmore at the North to take all chances
and see that, Mr.. Buchanan is not advanced
on splits by a plurality vote.
II they fail to do SO, they certainly will
be doing violence to their feelings, for Mr.
Filmore's friends are well aware that 10
belriend the South, he almost sacrificed
himself at the Moth, and TO the honor of
his friends in the South be it said that the
sons Of the sires of '76 will never abandon
him,---sink or swim live or die. they are
for him first and last, they will cling to the
American ship as long as there is a spar 10
hold to--should it sink, 90 with it. Free
mont is welcome to the G,00O Dutchmpn
that went to him in New York on the cad
Of August, ard our Democratic friends in
the South can pocket the loss. The time
is near at hand, when they will board the
American ship ard assist in making good
the American boast that " man is capabel
OIL self Government and assist to PRIME
the tree OF Liberty, that there will be the
next time less than 5000 to give strength
to the enemies of American equality, so
that we may have better fruit. than ora

How 1T MAKES THEM FEEL Bad
We know it makes the orphan kill

feel bad, to see it; for this reason we
re-publsh from the Advocate the fol-
lowing scrap of information, which is
credited to the Louisville Times.
Tue Son or DANIEL WEBSTER ON
THE STUMP FOR BucHANAN.-While
the son of Henry Clay takes the stump
for Buchanan and Breckenridge in the
West, Fletcher Webster, the eldest
son Of the ilIustrious sage Of Mansfield,
is doing the same thing in New Eng
land. He lately addressed a large
Democratic meeting in Portsmouth,
New Hampshire.
1t is great pity the "Know Moth.
ings" didn't know enough in reference
to this matter, to have sent special
committee to these gentlemen to know
how the nomination Of Mr.. Fillmore
would suit them. It would have saved
a deal of heart burniugs to the party
to have Gone SO. Certainly all of the
"Know Nothings' could not have beer
so crazy as not to have ioreseen the
danger to their ticket, without the sup
port of the two ''illustrious sons" 0
two illustrious sires aforesaid. Blu
the proposition is denied; the truth o
the fact is contradicted, for the Gazett
says, without qualification that it i
not fact. Then comes back the I'D
yocate at him. "Can the Gazette re
flute the above" referring to the item
of the Times. Of course not. Tn,
only way to decide the matter, is t,
send on committee to enquire Of th'
illastrious gentlemen aforesaid, frs.
