ANOTHER VOTE FOR BycuANAN.-We were not
little amused when going up in a Broadway and
Fourth avenue stage, on Friday evening, at the re-
suit of vote taken on the Presidency. There were
twelve passengers, and among them was a sharp
faced black Republican looking gentleman, who
was quite disposed to carry on conversation over
the rafting pavements about the election Of Presi-

evidently had hold of the wrong customer but no.
thing daunted, he proposed vote, which was ia
ken when to his dismay he was the only Fremont
man in the stage! the other eleven being most in
contnently in favor of Buck and Brock. The laugh
was decidedly upon him but determined to take
one more chance, he sprung for the change hole,
leading to the driver pulling the check. ne cried

BUCHANAN ON SQUATTER SovEREGNTY.-Read the
letter below from the Southern Advocate, published
at Huntsville, Ala 1t scatters to the wind the in
depreciation which the opposition put upon Mr. Bu-
chanan's letter of acceptance:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. g. 1866.
MY DEAR SIR: spent-two hours with Buchanan
yesterday at Wheatand. His grounds are beautifully
and tastefuly arranged, but his house is plain and
unpretendng in the eXtreme-everything has the
air of transformations Democracy. But the man HIM
canism. was never more agreeably disappointed
in my life He gave us a cordial and frank recep.
tion and talked with US with the freedom Of an old
acquaintance. 1 really felt as if had known him
all my life. He said the issue involved in tits cleo
ton was the Union of these States as equals. That
the Sonth had submitted to the aggressiono of the
abolitionists with patience that might we'll chal-
lenge the admiration of the world. and considering
the fire.eating propensities, difficult to UNDER
stand. He ridicued the doctrine of Squatter Sover-
eighty and said that the South had now, for The first
time in the history OF the country, obtained from
the government the concession of the true princi-
Piles, viz: that the people of a Territory had the
right, when they came to form State Constitution,
to say whether they would would not have slavery.
That by this legislation Congress had admitted that
the power with the people and not in Congress,
and the only sensible rule was, that this could be
exercised by the people only when they came to
form State Government, preparatory to admission
into the Union. l give you almost his very words.
He sad if he should be elected he felt satisfied the
slavery question would be finally settled, provided
he could carry portion of the New England States
and New York. In other words, if he were elected
by national vote, what he would do in the premises
would have national support, and the strength of
Free soilism, which is sectional would be dispersed.
The truth u.s. Mr.. Buchanan, is sound on this
question as was Mr.. Calhoun, and the Northern
Democracy are better Southern men to-day than
many Democrats even at the South. Whatever they
may have done heretofore. they meet tie ques-
ton boldly, and defend the institution of slavery
with a fearlessness that we might do well to initiate
They do not apologize for it on the ground that
it is recognised in the Constitution; but t1ey say
it is rght-that God himself established it, and that
it has the Bible for its foundation. If we do not
sustain these men in defence of our institutions,
deserve eternal nfamy. The contest is obvo lsly be-
tween Buchanan and Fremont-Fillmore is not in
the race. No man here pretends to say that he is
On the whole, therefore, consider his election be-
yond peradventure-and what regret is that there
can be found in the whole South single nan who
will not vote for him. If they could see hin, and
hear him talk, firmly believe he would get every

ToBAcco woRMs.-A southern exchange says:
Here is an idea that may be of service to tobac-
co-planters. An exchange remarks that at this
son, after sun-dovn, large-bodied miller butter
fly is seen fitting about the blossom of the James
town weed. Its movements are so like the hum
ming birds, that it is frequently mistaken for it.
This insect is the parent of the tobacco worm, and
should be destroyed, as every one killed will be
equal to many tobacco-worms destroyed: Mr..

SARAToGA-We see in the Observer of Monday,
another letter from the Senior editor at Saratoga, IN
which occur many peculiar ideas. 1t Is written,
like many of his letters when at that place, III
very Responding mood of mind with regard to our
national affairs. We admit that they are somewhat
gloomy, but it strikes us, that if the gentleman
would fall in with National Democrats at the North
the tone of his letters would be less desponding
They do not say that no more slave States Shall
come into the Union. The writer, anon, other
things regrets that in few years Saratoga will be
a foreign land to US. We are among those no love
the Union but not for the sake of the Saratoga
springs; and we never shall, so long as we have so
many delightful watering places South, to wnich we
can all 20 and spend our time and money pleasantly
How much better it would be, if we people South
would spend our money where we make it, among
ourselves.
It strikes US as very strange that the writer of
that letter should join in the Northern hue and cry,
that Mr. Buchanan is sectional candidate. That
will do for Black republicans but not for national
and Southern men to say. And equally singular is
it that he is willing to take as reliable information,
in crisis like the present, the dictum of one single
individual in the city of New York, to induce US in
Is it not passing strange, that, at time like the
present. when it is certain that every vote OF our
portion of the country is wanted for one man alone
land we have abundant authority i'll his letter for
saying SOY should be invited and advised to split
that vote?
Does the recommendation of the writer elect Mr..
Fillmore? By no means! Then what docs it do ?
1t weakens and renders doubtful Mr.. Buchanan's
chances. Yes, it makes his defeat almost certain,
and Mr.. Fillmorc's equally so. We say there is
nothing wise, nothing patriotic, nothing feasible in
his advice; and we hope that all lovers of their
country will be found casting their votes only where
they can do SO with safcty-for Mr.. Buchanan.
