the best informed papers in the State OF Connects
| cut speaks thus of the prospects there:
"Nor oNE.-We are frequently inquired of as to
| how Connecticut stands on the presidential ques-

single change in the Democratic party in this State
| from Buchanan to Fremont, but do know Of
many in our favor from the ranks of the conserva-
tive and patriotic portion of the old wing party
| The noise and nonsense of tho tribe Of Jessie do
not affect in the least the steadiness of the demo-
cratic columns and we have doubt the electoral
vote of the State will be given to Buchanan and
Brecknridge."
KENTUCKY. bet Of 81, 900 offered in Louis
vile by the Journal that Fillmore would carry Ken
lucky, was Immediately taken, before night, by
democrat There is no doubt that Buchanan and
Breckenridge will carry Kentucky.
| The black republicans are fond of taking vote
for President wherever lot of loafers, dandies,
travellers found together and the result is gen.
orally in their favor; but when the people, the wor-
king men speak, the boot is on the other leg Here
! is q case of this kind at the Novelty Works in
New York, where 1900 working men are employed,
vote was lately taken with the following result
Buchanan 1897; Fremont 8.
| ILLINOIS WILL GIVE 25OO0-A correspondent of
the Pennsylvania, writing from Springfield, Hin
| DIS, says:
| "From the best and most reliable information
have been able to procure, there seems to be but
one prevailing impression and that is that the
jority for Buchanan and Breckenridge in Illinois will
not fall short Of but more likely exceed, twenty-five
| thousand"
| A correspondent of the Ohio Statesman writing
from Miami county, in that State, says that every

EXTRACTS FROM OUR CoRREsPoNDENcE.-Beow We
give few extracts from business letters received at
this Office.
MISSISSIPPI
"The democracy of Oktibbeha all enthus-
asm. Buchanans majority in Mississippi will not
be less than 5000
TENNESSEE.
Democracy is as hourshing as the most ardent
could wish. We are making accessions daily to our
numbers"
$50 universally acceptable are the nominees of
the Cincinnati Convention that we shall have no
ticket in Smith county but that of Buchanan and
Breckenridge"
INDIANA
''Send your paper to He is an old line
whig, but is now battling manfuy in the ranks of
the democracy, like thousands of others in this
State. Buchanan will carry this State by large
majority" Wash Union.
We are requested to state, that Messrs. w. King,
JAS Munce and Clark White of Baden county,
who had joined the Know Nothing Order are desi-
rous of withdrawing from it, and take this public
method of announcing that they no longer consider
themselves members of that order, but intend to
vote for the nominees of the Democratic party at
the approaching election, on Thursday next. We
need hardly say that cheerully comply with this
request. WI. Journal.
Observation-Disclosures stands Just as much chance TO
carry Georgia as Fremont does; and that is no
chance at all. Many Of the leading men e. Ameri-
cans'O in Georgia who voted know nothing ticket
last year have publicly declared for Buchanan three
presses in this State that supported the American"
ticket in Georgia last fall have up the Buchanan
flag, and the democracy to man support our ticket.
Federal Union.
The black.republican journals speak of Indiana as
one of the certain States for Fremont How they
expect to achieve a victory over the democracy of
that State is thus disclosed by the New Albany Qn-
diana) Tribune:
at is very evident that neither the friends of Mr.
Fillmore nor Fremont succeed in Indiana with
out union of the two upon fair, equal terms. Let
to this before it is too late"
We might give any numbers of extracts from all
parts of the State breathing the confident hope
that, in the coming election, democracy will come
out of the fight with flying colors.
Samuel B. Mccormick, ESQ.,, a member of the bar
OF Cambria county, recently a leading whig and
once the editor of the wing paper at Johnstown,
made speech at a recent meeting in Johnstown,
and declared himself henceforth an adherent and
supporter of the democratic party. He argued that
in the present position of parties the only proper
place for the old friends of Clay and Webster was
in the democratic ranks We welcome our old friend
Mccormick, efficient co-worker, into party.
Harrisbury Union.
The REASON WHY M1ss1ssIPPIAN CAN'T SUPPORT
F1LLMoRE.-The Ripley Advertiser says that w. G.
Falkner, ESQ.,, Gate editor of the " Uncle Sam"
vigorous knownothng newspaper,) at the late dem
ocratic ratification meeting in that town gave in
his experience, and formally announced bis separa-
ton from, and determination to act no longer with,
the American party. He told us how he got out of
the know nothing party-not like Clinton got out of
the democratic wagon, by Jumping out, but that he
standing firmly on the 18th section of the Amer
lean platform when it was suddenly pulled from
under him and he fell fat; when he got up he was
standing on something as firm as rocks of Gibral.
