i've 10 the coalition between the Know Ne,h-
ines and Buchanan men In North Carolina
All the i1dicsucns demonstrate tbs, such

and the game Is, thst il those States where
Buchanan is supposed t. be stronger than

,.,.3 - Fillmore. l'ais edict hae been
,,sixat,, communicated 10 the 'ssemoefs OF
t. order. and there is no reason 10 doubt
tha, |, WILDE carried out. The grounds for
,ekinr such course are that the late cleo
mons have proved that Mr. Fillmore oanno,
carry single Southern State, while there
i no chance Of his receiving any electoral
votes from the North, and that It believes
the South to present an united 'front.' In
such a crisis IS that she has now 10 pass
through"
A right pretty programme Thc hnow
Nothinrs South are 10 vote for Mr.. Buehan-
an. and The Baehanan men in the Free
States are to vote for Mr. Fillmore. But
!, is much easier to trace Out the campaign
on psper than 10 carry il into effect. The
people have ku oil-iashioned prejudice
against being thus used SIS mere Instruments
for furihering the individual designs Of
trading politicians. They are strongly IN
pressed with the idea that il there ever
was time IN the history VI The country
when The emphatic decision Of the Whole
body OF the people was imperatively De.
msnded, the present is that time.
If,hete be any truth in The fundameass
doctrine Of republicanisn that man is csPs
able of self government, now is the tint
when tha, truth is TO be made ad1tioaail,
manifest. A clear aud unequiyocsi express
sion OF the sill u the people, with as iita'
embarrassment, ss possible from the sinisEe
operations OF eontendng mihorliies, is thu
first desire OF every parrot. Ne man wht
rightly understands the Importance Of th'
present crisis, will deny that in The presen
state of nen's minds an election Of Presid
ent by the House Of Representatives srerl
much to be deprecated. Such an election
would leave the great question which no"
apita.es the people ss unsettled as ever
and we canuo, Contemplate without tht
wors, nisgirngs the long train OF corrupt
bargainings thai would necessarily ehtrae'
,srize an election by the lower house.
The particular Trends Of Mr.. Fillmore DC
NO, hesiiste 10 declare that their only hope
OF success IS BIZ throwing the election intG
the House, and II Is ior That purpose the,
are endeasoTisg by tsery species Of Poitii
cal strategy 10 defeat an election by th'
people. Tbey desire to prevent the cas'
being decided upon lie merits, or at ieas
they declare by their seuoLs that they Plae'
the interests and aspirations Of indyidus
politicians, above the rePose and welfare o
the country. This fac; could not lie made
palmer than ~ the eosltiohs which hsv.
been effected in some Of The States be.
tween the supporters Q. Buchanan and FIJI
more, md tie si,enPts st other coalitions
by the same Fartles 10 other States. Bu'
the natural effect Of all such combination
ought TO be to make the body Of the pee
