Ffllmorc's Prospecfs at The North.
That Mr.. Fillmore's prospects are every day
improving, while Mr.. Bnchanan's are declin-
ing, in the Northern States, is fact that ad-
mits of almost perfect demonstration. The
late elections have "poweFfully shaken the
faith and hopes of the Democracy everywhere
in the chances of Buchanan's election. His
supporters, therefore. will continue to fall
away from him, all through the North, until
he will not have corporafs guard left. Mr..
Fillmore's friends, on the other hand, are
gathering fresh encouragement every hour in
the day; and they calculate confidently not
only upon carrying the great State of New
York-which is fixed fact"-but upon car
ryiug several other of the Northern States.
A new subscriber in Michigan renting his

DErRoIr, Michigan, Sept. Z, 1856.
Eiitor Of Richmond Whig:
DEAR SRI have received two Numbers
OF your paper, and am much pleased with its
National American tone, and for its able ad vo-
cacy of Fillmore and Donelson. Ireally begin
to have confidence in the old Dominion's
Americsnism aud what a glorious thing it
would be, to be sure, for the mother of Presi-
dents to go for Fillmorel
Our candidates are going with very per-
ceptible stride. Every day in the Northern
States, people are taking the second sober
thought and hocking around the noble flag OF
the American candidates with increased zeal.
The change of public opinion in favor of Fill
more and Donelson has been more rapid in the
last two or three weeks than ever knew il
to be before, for any candidates, and given us
great courage, and strong hope that the con-
test will be decided by the people in our favor.
without its going 10 the House of Representa-
tives 70 elect our men. Parties are fast taking
their position. The ultra abolition portion OF
the Democracy are going over to Fremont,
while the modern, 194S freesoilers, are cling
ing to Buchanan, and the real National men
are enlisting for the only national candidates,
"Fillmore aud Donelson." The "Hards" OF
New York in a body, are going to sustain US,
as they see there is not the ghost of a chance
for Buchanan in that State. 1t has been sup
posed until recently, that Buchanan would be
pretty certain of Pennsylvania, but recent In
formation from there of reliable character, to
me, cOnvinces that Filmore's chances are far
the best in that State, while the "Fremont"
dodge will hardly amount to a show. How
ever much they may blow and buster and
brag about the strength of ''woolly horse
party there, Fillmore is unquestionably the
strongest by twenty-five or thirty thousand
votes, Buchanan probably next and Fremont
about the same as Buchanan. Ohio is waking
up gloriously, and will give good report OF
herself against the combined forces of black
republicans and bogus democracy.

accounts from Massachusetts,. We shall all not
be disappointed when the old EBAY State" OF
Daniel Webster makes her report. which will
be in favor of the American party.
Respectfully yours -.
