tn. Ithaca Journal, for nearly thirty years the
Democratic organ in Tonpkins County, and lne
only paper published in that important county 'u,'

giving unanswerabe reasons therefor I~ hHs'''"
Becor,y the Democratic organ in Allegsny county,
ue hear has done likewise. The Eres'"g Poa,
of this city, ST Larren0 RtpHa'ea" osaen'ourgn,
and Oago Democrat COoperstown, took ground
with the Republicans last Fall. Tie RpnAe,
pnfs,o Democratic Reflector, Madison County,
Coryga Na Era, Auburn, Pulaski Democrat,
O,wepo County, and several other influential
journals which supported the Soft Democratic
ticket last Fall, hailed the Philadelphia nomins-
lions with 10y, and gave them ready as we'll as
hearty support OF the surviving Van Buren, Free.
Soil journals of 1846, W think decided prepon-
derance in influence, if not in number, is now
enlisted on the side Of Free Kansas and Fremont.
Quite number of Influential Free-Sol Demo
crats including Preston King, Abijah Mann Brad
ford X Wood, Philip DOrsbsimer, and William G.
Bryant, last Fall declared for he Republican organ
izatiOn. ThOse who have recently taken ground
for Fremont certainly outnumber and outweigh
those who favor Buchanan. Among the we note
George Rathbup, Martin Grover, Benjamin WEIGH,
jr., Henry R. Seiden, Timothy jenkins, Nathaniel
Jones, Peter Outwater, and-but we may as well
stop here, though we might name at least hum
bred who would be widely recognized as Demo
cratic leaders from the days Of jackson till now.
A New York Democratic party without these and
those who closely ympathize with them is
shadow without the substance. 1t will be observed
that some of these supported Gen. Cass against
Van Buren, aad Taylor in 1648. To talk. as some
appear to do, Of carrying this State for Buchanan,
is to fly in the face of probabilities quite as strong
as these which foreshadowed its vote for Gen.
Tay lOr in l646.
The South. American party at present evinces
more vitality and vgor in our State than does that
which enjoys the sympathies and fraternity of by
for the larger share of the Missouri Border
Rufians. The Fillmore party has nucleus of
positive strength in the old SilverGrey element of
O,ber days-an element formidable rather from the
wealth and social influence than the number of its
yotsrles. Should Mr.. Fillmore continue in the
field we shall not be surprised to see his vote
count up fully one hundred thousand. We believe
Fremonss msjority will be quite as large in such
case as in that of Fillmores withdrawal. But the
friends Of Mr.. Fillmore are deceived by miscal-
culation which none beside can overlook. For
the last two years they have been trading on
borrowed capiial-that, namely, of the more vim
dictiye Hard Shells, who, knowing that their own
ticket could not succeed cast their votes as to
tell most effectively against the Softs and the
Republicans. The Fictitious additions from this
source to the Know Nothing strength at each of
our last two State elections are to be counted by
tens Of thousands. Most of these have now gone
back to Buchanan, whom they with reason regard
as standing on the Hard-Shel platform; some will
vote for Fremont, leaving very few to support
Fillmore.
We would by no means say anything calculated
to parslyze exertion by proclaiming it superhuous
We mean to work on till the Election, and expect
others to do 30, but with reference rather to the
election of Free Soil Congress, and to the neces
sary influence Of an overwhelming majority here on
other States than because it is needed to csery
Fremt mt and Day ton in triumph through our own.
We shall be grievously disappointed if any concur
renee of adverse circumstances should reduce Col.
Fremont's majority in this State below Sixty
Thousand.
