Arka sas, Missouri, South Carolina, Della
ware, and Florida, make up the fifteen slave
States Of the Union, and the only question
about either of these is the little State of
Delaware which in 1852 gave Pierce small
majority. OF all the States here named on
y two, Maryland and Kentucky, gave X n.
maiorities. and this when the party was at
its height of power, and before it had com
menced to decine-which it has been doing
ever since We do not believe that either
Kentucky or Maryland will vote for Mr.. Fill
more, the American candidate, nor do we
believe that he has any chance to get soil
tary slave State in the Union. No such con
test can be made in Kentucky or in Mary
land as was made in 1855, and those States
will make up the full line for Buchanan and
Breckenridge. As for Arkansas, the demo-
cratic majority will be greater than it ever
was; and with reference to our own State,
we say that Buchanan's majority cannot be
less than $4,000, and it may 90 to 10000
or even 10000. We have no desire to de-
ceive anybody but are anxious to inform ev
eryhody, so that, they may neither lose their
wits nor their money.
Now for the other side We once knew
a awyer-a man Of genius, Of learning, and
of great parts. as the saying is but who
could never gain cause, for the reason that
he never looked to the opposite side of the
action and this, we fear, is the position of
the American party. From what we have
stated, they must see that their chances in
the slavehoiding States are beautifully small.
| Now look at the chances in the free States:
