sure in LAYING before our readers the following letter
from Senator Pearce. 1t was written in reply to an
vtaton to address the people at mass meeting re-
Gently held at Dixons, Maryland:
CHEsrERTowN September -, 1876.
My DEAR SIR 1t will be impossible for me to at
tend your meeting at D:xons But you must not infer
from this that have undergone any change of opin-
ion since my letter to Mr. Franklin OF july 3st last
ON the contrary every fresh political event shows the
sounluess of i conclusion that II IL III" interest and
the duty therefore, OF all wing. who ti'K rs no. 10
support Buchanan. The elections in Arkansas, Ken
tucky Missouri, aud North Carolina, show that the
American party in the South are without power 10
carry those States for Mr.. Fillmore whose friends re-
lied upon his success hem while the elections IN
Vermnnt and Maine show that the black republicans
in tbe East have it all their own way, and that Mr.
Fillmore is not strong enough even to have ticker
in those States.
II il clear 10 my mind that the North, which is ag-
gressive towards the South. has commenced the
s,ril. OF actions and organized party such as
Wash,ny,ou denounced in his Farewell Address-a
pa.ty founded on geographical divisions Mr.. FIJI
more in 1852 had almost the entire south III Inc wing
Convention. The North prevented his NOMINATION,
then because he signed The fugitive slave law IN loN
and the other compromise laws. While he was
President that law could only be enforced in Boston

famed, now prevails IN the Norm ana VIII Heieal

prospect OF getting the votes Of lew OF the Northern
should wings throw away their votes on MIR. Fillmore!
They cannot elect him. and surely they cannot be

votes 10 candidate like Mr.. Fillmore, who, more
than year ago. deserted The whig flag to range him

believe Mr.. Buchanan To be man OF ability ana
a Eal, man-sa!e for the whole country and sate
for the South. He will not be governed by the

Mr. EillwIures friends in Pruusy lvanla sccin 10
