Correspondence of the American Union. :"
NoBLEsvILLE, Indiana, Sept. 8.


Mr.. Eaitor--As politics is call the
co. l thought it would be in place for
mo to give you u little more on the
same subject. 1 have been watching
the movements of the three great po-
litical parties, both in Ohio & Indiana,
and find they are all busy, and they
all claim the victory. Well, you know
every one in this country has right
to his opinion, so will give mine, and
that is Fillmore VtU be our neat Presi-
dent. l will give you some of my rca-
sons for forming such an opinion. 1st
Everybody says he is Union man. I'd
The Buchanan men say FIVE cannot
have Buck we will have Fillmore" Sd
The Black Repubs. say, eff we can't
have Fremont we will have Fillmore"
18th The Union men say VIC will have
Fillmore, he is our first choice, and the
number Of the latter are increasing
daily,yea hourly in these States. Since
l left home l have seen the strength of
the three parties tested some 3 times.
On the stage from Morgantown to
Fairmont, there were for Fillmore to
l for Buchanan. The next was vote
taken on the cars between Bellair and
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, which stood Fillmore
80, Buchanan %, Fremont II. The
next was vote taken on the cars be-
tween Columbus and Xenia, Ohio, as
follows Fillmore 46, Buchanan ~,
and Fremont 24-the Buchanan vote
was increased by number of delegates
geing home from Il democratic conven-
ton. One of the crowd was their
speaker. He acknowlcd they were
whipped, that Buchanan was delicate d.
but said he cit is by a good man."
Fillmore ! was much amused at one
man when they called upon him for
his vote; he was half asleep, and un-
consciously muttcred Buch-an-a-n;'
but when he got his eyes open, he said
" Beg pardon, gentlemen, | vote for
Fillmore y a gentleman sitting close
by said, "That is the way-whcn men
get wide awake they sDiH cote for Fill
more.!" Every body in this country
says Fillmore is gaining strength every
day. They have "pretty much quit"
saying "No chance for Fillmorc!' out
here. "No chance for Buchanan ="
is now the word with most truth in it.
There are but few who object to Fill
more's gaining strength in this coun-
try: yet there are a few. You will
once in while find an old line office
seeker or woody head turn up his nose !;
but it won't do. uurrah for Fillmorei
If the Fremont party. get beat for
Governor in Indiana, they will 60 for
Fillmore almost to man, except only
the Catholics, which will give the State
to Fillmore, certain. 1t would sur
prise you to be in Ohio, and see how
they rally for Fillmore. They say
they will carry the State. l have seen
men from the Western Reserve, where
you would suppose they were all for
Fremont. They tell me that Fillmore
will get a powerful vote there. 1 tell
you the Fremonters arc scared.
write in a hurry, but you may de.
pend on what | write as true. Push
the battle to the gate, and the victory
will be ours. IIurrah for Willard Fill
more, the next President of the United
States! Yours, j. II. Nj.
BGy| The above letter is from an in
tclligent and reliable citizen of this
county. In conversation with him a
short time before he left home, he a.
vowed his belief that Fremont would
be elected over both Buchanan and
Fillmore. But he has got rid of that
idea, and throws it to the dogs, and that
too right in the hot bed of Fremont
ism. All hail ! Ohio and Indiana!
