The Contest in New York The Hards
for Fillmore and the softs for Fremont
Buchanan no Chance.
The Lexington Observer and Reporter,
of Saturday, publishes the following letter
from Gen. LESLIE Gowns:
New YoRK, 10, 1856.
Dear Sir From very reliable inlorna-
ton the contest in this State will be between
Fremont and Free negroes on one side, and
Fillmore on the other. The Hard Democrats
WH help the laitr-the Sotis the former.
They all say Buchanan has no chance in
-NetO York. Yours, &c. LESLIE COINS.
d. c. Wcki.Be, Esq.
Now (says the Frankfort Comm m
wealthy, this letter is most significant not
merely on account OF lis statements, but on
account OF the peculiar position which the
writer has heretofore held in the present con
test. Gen. Combs, as everybody knows, is an
Old Line Wing. When lie lett Kentucky a
few weeks ago, he was Gas we are in
IOrmed) under the impression that Mr..
Buchanan'S chance for an election was better
than Mr.. Filmore's and while he preferred
Mr.. Fillmore, he was considering whether
he ought not to go for Buchanan as the
surest means Of defeating Fremont. With
these views, and this prepossession upon
his mind, he go-s To New Yorl, and there
he is soon convinced upon "usry reliable
infOTmdiiOn," that the contest in The great
Empire State, which casts thrty-fve cleo
torai votes, is not between Buchanan and
Fremont, buI beiween Fillmore and Fremont j.;
that " Buchanan has no chance" in that
State; and that even the Democrats are
giving him up and dividing themselves
between the other candidates the Hards or
national Democrats, going Tor Fillmore. and
the Solts, or Freesoi Democrats, for Free
mont.
goes New York, so goes the Union
is an old adage and we believe no candidate
was ever elected without her aid. But
" they all - that is Americans, Hard
Democrats, Soft Democrats, aud Black Re-
publicans-"theg all say Buchanan has nc
chance in NeW York;" This alone is enough
to obscure his prospects, even This chances
were good elso0iere. But If he has nc
chance in New York where, in the North,
has he any chance?

not entirely perfect in every regard and not
entirely pure and magnanimous in all its
members, but nevertheless we have been true
adherents Of the revolution and as such we
neither can nor will leave the standard Of re-
form and revolution.
About the affinity of nntivesm and slave
ry we have spoken several times and we per-
ceive every day more and more this intimate
connection between them. That will be
clearer by two events Of this year; the great
affinity between this fugitive slave law and
the Nebraska bill, Fillmore and Pierce, Ak
en- and Fuller, will be moro distinct and in-
telligible next fall, and there is not the least
doubt, that democrats and pro-slavery know
nothings will agree upon their candidate
That this republican party can never go for
Fillmore, who signed the fugitive slave law,
nor his partizans need not to be proved but
the partizans Of Pierce, the Nebraska men
fried Of the Border Ruffians, who are catch.
ing slaves with the fullest hearts Joy, may
willingly face with know nothings as well for
the presidential election as for the election Of
speaker in the house of Congress. The slave
ry questions lead the way and the South
will surely leave nativeism and other things
for the only purpose Of uniting all pro-slavery
men on the same large platform.
Free soil and free labor on one side--ex.
tension Of and naturalization of slavery on
the other side; there is not bit Of doubt
for US, which we should go.

he has read the voluminous correspondence
between the English and American govern
ments, upon the enlistment question, and
that it amounts simply to the following:
John BuU.--We've declared war against
Russia, my son. But mind-no privateering.

He addressed the citizens Of Detroit on

No GLOOM AT HoME.-Above all things
there should be no gloom at home. The
shadows Of dark discomfort and wasting fret
fulness should never cross the threshold, throw
ing their large black shapes like funeral pals,
over the happy yourg spirits gathered there.
If you will your home shall be heaven and
every inmate an angel there. If you will
you shall sit on throne and he the presiding
household deity. OH! faithful wife, what
privileges, what treasures, greater or purer
than thine9
And let the husband strive to forget his
cares rs he winds around the long narrow
street and beholds the soft light iluming his
little parlor spreading its precious beams on
the red pave before him. The night is cold
and cheerloss perhaps, and the December
gust battles with the worn skirts of his over
coat, and snatches, with rude hand and
wailifg cry, at the rusty hat that has served
him many year. He has been harrassed,
perplexed prosecuted. He has borne with
many a cruel tone, many cold word, and
nerved himself up to an enorgy so desperate
that his frame and spirits are weakened and
depressed; and now hislimbs ache with weari-
ness; his temples throb with the pain-beat
caused by a too constant application; he
scarcely knows how to meet his wife with
pleasant smile or sit down cheerfully to their
little meal which she has provided with so
much care.
But the door is opened the overcoat
thrown hastily off. A sweet voice falls upon
his car, and the tones are SO soft and glad
that hope, like winged angel, flies right in
to his bosom and nestles against his heart.
The latch is lifted, and the smiling face of
his wife gives an earnest welcome. The shin
inc hair is smoothed over her fair brow; in
deed she stole q little coquettish glance at
the mirror hanging in its narrow frame just
to sec if she looked neat and pretty before
she came out. Her eye beams with love,
her dress is tnsteful-and- Why! he
forccts the trials Of that long day as he folds
her il his arms and imprints kiss upon her
brow.
A home where gloom is banished, presid-
ed over by one who has learned to rule her
self and her household, Christianity l-oh!
be thrice consolcd for all his trials. He can
not be unhappy that sweetest, bcst, dear
est solace is his--a cheerful home, Do you
wonder that man is strengthened anew for
to-morrow's caresl

INDIAN NAMEs.-In the published pro-
ceedings of the Historical Society, the Indian
names fo- several of the towns, rivers, &C.,
in that State are given, and the question is
asked, "What is the English meaning of the
words!" The following are the translations
of few, as given by Louis M. Moan, one Of
the interpreters of the Chipewas:
Milwaukee-Pronounced by the Indians
Meme aw-kee-the rich or the beautiful land
Sheboygan-a hollow bone.
Waukesha-pronounccd by the Chippewas
Waw-goosh- h-sha-the little fox.
Peewawkee-pronounced and should be
spelled Pee-waw-naw-thc finty place.
Waupeteseepe-the Indian word is We-be-
te-see-pee-Tooth river.
Osbkosh---a hoof i
Manitouwalk-tho home or place Of the
spirits.
There arc many parts Of long Indian names
which are almost inaudible when spoken by
an Indian, and yet they arc necessary to
make any sense of the word White men,
generally, in writing such names, leave a
part out, and the consequence is that the in
terprcters can make nothing out of them.
