parable disaster to those engaged in the production
of leading staple.
! ms 1t has been very confidently asserted that Mr.
Fillmore never appointed Free Soiler to office.
Now, what was Mr.. Corwin, leading member OF
his Cabinet, but Free-Soiler!
What was Jacob Collamer, another member II not
of Mr. Filmores Cabinet, still of the original Taylor
and Fillmore dynasty, but Free-Soller ! Look at
the proceedings in the Senate on the 18th inst Mr.
Douglas from the Committee on the Territories,
made report on Kansas affairs. The report reviews
al the affairs of the Territory, recognises the legaIl-
ty of the Kansas Legislature recommends the carry
ing out of the views of the Presidents special mes
sage, and gives notice that the Committee shall ask
appropriation for maintaining peace and executing
the laws Mr. Collamer submitted a minority REPORT
attributing the troubles in Kansas TO the ahrogaon
of the Missouri Compromise, and asking the repeal
of the Kansas Act the re- organization OF the lerr
tories on free principles, and declaring the Terrific
rial LEGISLATURE spurious and its acts imperative
That is what Jacob Coamer still is; what Mr.. Corwn
is and was everybody knows Mr. Hall, Of Buffalo, was
another of Mr. Flmores Cabinet appointments, and
he was never supposed for moment to be anything
buta Free Soiler Fz Henry Warren notorious
movals and appointments The fact is that, a more
baseess assertion was made, than this IN re-
gard to Mr.. Fillmore The position which MIR. Cor
win held in his Cabinet and in Ills confidence: was
enough to have stamped Free-Soil character upon
the Cabinet ITSELF to say nothing of the subordinate
Offices.
Very little was said about these things at the time
although they did not pass unnoticed, as we shall
be prepared to show as the canvass progresses. 1t
was rather regarded as natural and proper that they
should be so, otherwise large wing of the party
which carried Mr.. Fillmore into power would have
been treated with neglect which it would have
been certain 10 resent Should, by some remote pos
sbility or improbable accident, Mr.. Fillmore again
find himself the tenant of the White House, he will
be under still stronger obligations to appontthe Tom
Corwn's, and such like to high positions; for with
out the aid of the Black republican, the Know Moth
ing party has as much chance TO succeed in the
ing contest as the in the Moon has to get a re-
tailers license from the county court.
New HAMpsHIRE-The Democrats have gained
largely in New Hampshire, but not enough, we fear
TO the odds against them last year. In 1876
towns the gain for Wells, Democrat is about 1000.
and the remaining towns to be heard from will, no
doubt swell this, but not sufficiently to elect him
There will most likely be no election by the peo-
pie, and the combined opposition will outnum Der the
Democrats in the House. the Senate will probably
be Democratic The vote for Wells, straight
Democratic, comes up with, and will, perhaps, run
tle.way ahead of Metcalf Abolition Know Noth-
ing Main Liquor I.aw-Negro Worshipper, and the
heterogeneous sms by whom he is supported. Cod
win, whig gets 2,0s7.
Upon the whole, it is impossible to come to any
other conclusion than that New Hampshire is sure
for the Democratic candidate for the Presidency
THE KANSAS MEET1NG.-There was quite large
assemblage Friday evening at the Court House, much
larger than we expected TO see, considering the short
ness Of the notice, five or six hours. pretty
considerable sprinklng of g Young America - gave
something Of a free and easy tone to the meeting
but for all that there abundant evidences afford
ed that the thing could be put through. We were
informed that at least ten already prepared to
join any company for Kansas, and we have doubt
but that very good crowd could be got up if the
matter of g material ad" be only attended to-
The % Young America 10 which we have already
alluded, with its impulsive adventurous spirit must
of course, be relied upon for the main effort in affairs
of this kind. 1t seems to that the spirit OF oul
citizens, generally is in favor of vigorous co-opera-
ton with sister States of the South in the move
ment to the rights and the interests of the
! South in the new territories.
o. What is TO be the result of the anti Nebraska
movement tmanating from Washington City! Il
is known that the Republicans" and many former
ly known as straight Wings, held a caucus in TIT
House of Representatives Tuesday night. Al
the Banks force was on hand.
This affair must do one OF two things, either Mr.
Fillmore must yield and ally himself with the move
ment, or be badly beaten at the North. If he doe
ally himself with it, he must give up all hopes at tn
y South and all claims nationality generally. TIL
Democracy be affected but slightly one way o
the other. 1t relies nothing upon isms, and goes O.
its own hook. But the division of its opponents wi
give the Democratic candidate plurality in the ma
jority of the Northern States. Their union will Civ
him all the South certain and every Northern Stat
where there is sufficient national feeling to save i
Gp5- We notice that the grand ratification meetin
on Wednesday evening, recommended George DaVi
Esq, as the KnowNothing candidate for Governc
of North Carolina, subject, of course to the acto
:, of the Greensboro Convention. 1t would be so
of cruel kindness to put Mr.. Davis up to be defeate
as the opponent of Thomas Bragg certainly will b
However, Mr.. Davis will be spared that inevitab
defeat, it is hardly supposable that the Conventic
", will take him up. They never do take up a CAY
!. Fear man.
