WITHDRAW BUCHANAN.

One of the most Jealous and intelli-
gent Democrats in this city, who is al
so one of the very best men of his par
ty, was very recently in conversation
with an American. The American as
ked him whether he candidly thought,
that, if Mr.. Fillmore should be at once
withdrawn, Mr.. Buchanan would be
elected. The Democrat answered that
he did not think he would. The Amer
lean then asked whether he did not
believe, that, if Mr.. Buchanan should
be withdrawn, Mr.. Fillmore would be
elected. The Democrat answered in
the affirmative. The views expressed
by him as to the consequences of the
withdrawal of Fillmore or Buchanan
must be and are the views of all we'll
informed and dispassionate men Of all
parties. .0. ....... :
In any event tho election of Mr..
Buchanan is now out of the question.
He cannot be elected if Fillmore re-
main in the field, and he could not be
elected if Fillmore were out of the.
field. Mr.. Fillmore's being candi-
date is the South's whole security a.
gainst the election of Fremont. We
confidently believe that Fillmore will
be elected even if all three Of the can
didatcs stay upon the track, but, with
Buchanan out of the way, Mr.. F's tri-
umphant success and the consequent
salvation of the country would be GER
tain. We have right then to appeal
to all the true friends of the country,
no matter how zealously and honestly
they may now be supporting Mr.. Blu
chanan, to insist on his immediate with
drawal, and, in the event either of his
consent or his refusal, to throw their
whole strength in favor of Mr.. Fill
more. Surely the results of the cleo
tons in Iowa, Vermont, and Maine
should arouse them to deep and a
fearful sense of the mighty Importance
of actingin this matter without delay.

Tighyut Atci2ent. The Richmond

fearful ride down a spur of the Alleg.
hany mountain few days since. Two
coaches left the White Sulphur Springs
with twenty.one passengers. In de.
scending Morris. mountain the horses
ran away with the front coach, the dri.
yer was thrown of, and the stage and
passengers were thrown over preci.
pice. bruising and crushing the pas
songers, killing one horse and break
ing the leg of a mother.
Mr.. Morrison, Of New York, mas.
senger in the second coach, was enabled
by his energy and promptitude to res.
sue lady and other persons from tho
wreck of the up-turned vehicle. Re.
lief was soon brought from The Hot
Springs, and an extra coach furnished

Fry seemed to be more severely hurt
than any one else, his Injuries being
mostly about the head. A boy named
Gay, from Staunton was deirious from
the effects of very severe confusion on
the left temple. Que gentleman, said
to be from Norfolk had both hands and
arms dreadfully mashed and one eye Sc.
verely cut. The lady passenger, who
was travelling under the charge of
Judge Fry. had severe cut over one
eye and her left arm very much bruis.

will no doubt recover.

] find myself here to-day, not
q member, but hooker on at the Ohio
American State Convention. This
Convention is called for the purpose of
nominoting a straight out American
State ticket, and to fuse with no party.
The party also intend to nominate q
candidate for Congress in every Dis
trict in the State.
AS to the demonstration here to-day
it is large and enthusiastic, as much so
as the Convention at Wheeling in 40.
Nearly every county in the State is
represented. The trains from Cincin-
natl and Cleveland came in at the same
time firing cannon, waving banners,
playing music, &c. They go it here
on grand scale, it reminds me of 1910.
Crittenden, Scott Harrison, Moore, of
Chilicothe, Davenport, and others will
be hero. Tic speaking will commence
as soon as the nominations are made.
One of the delegates I met was Dol
ter from the Am. Nat. Convention,
put TIC Is al lJSlt HoW. w men lie came
home from the Convention he says they
had not 20 Fillmore men in the county,
and ten days ago they hadnot 50--to-
day they have 300 registered, and by
November he says they will poll 600!
A change of 20 occurred one day last
week in one township in his county
| have talked with Delegates from eve
ry quarter--every one says that Fill
more is gaining hourly and rapidly |!
Some say he has gained 10000 votes
in the last month. The Buchanan
meetings are poorly attended.
Although | have boon travelling a.
mong Fremouters, ain in excellent
spirits. | feel assured, from the con-
slant changes going on, that Fillmore
will be President. ....
Kentucky is boiling over. have
information from Tennessee, direct and
reliable, that she is all right for Fill.

Washington, Sept. Lit has been
ascertsned from reliable source that
the instructions were recently sent TO
California by The Secretary of tho Navy
substantially different from those previ.
ously transmitted. They are addressed
to Commodore Mervine or to the SEN

that the laws ofthe Government OF the
United Sthtes must be enforced, and
public property protected from violence,
He is required to have two or more
national vessels at San Francisco, and
to retain them there until the insurec-
tionary movements shall cease, The press
ent object being to protect public prop

Government, should they be interrupts.

understanding more.
Instructions, il is ascertained, were
likewise sent by the War Derattmont
to General Wool, for similar purpose
merely that those officers were cautioned
to exercise extraordinary oircumspection
and wise discretion.

New Fillmore Papers.

The Sonora (Cal.) Herald, one of
the oldest papers in the mining regions
now hoists the American flag, and is
doing stout battle for Fillmore and
Donelson.
The San Diego Herald, formerly the
organ of the Democratic party in the
Southern portion of Alta California, is
out for Fillmore and Donelson. Its
editor, j. Judson Ames, Esq, says he
cant stand that party any longer.
The Conservative, a Fillmore Jour
nal has just been started at Springfield
Illinois.
The Union, at Somerville, N. j.
has just issued its first number. 1t
supports Fillmore and Donclson.
A new American paper, the Amcri-
can Sentinel, has been started at Har-
risburg, Pa. 1t has the names of Fill
more and Donelson flying at its mast
head. ...
The Courier, Wing paper, published
at st. Martinsville, La, has put up tho
Fillmore and Donelson banner.
The Sing Sing, N. Y. Chronicle. of
last week hoisted the names of Fillmore
and Donelson, and heartily enlists un-
der the American bannar.
The editor Of the Brownsville Tenn.
Journal has abandoned the Democrat
ic party and declared his adhesion to
Fillmore and Donelson.

Tho Lying Hypocracy Of the South
ern Democrats proved by a
Practical Test.

The Southern Democrats say that
Mr.. Fillmore has no strength in the
non-slaveholding States; and, that his
continuing on the track can only contri-
butte to the success of Fremont by d.
verting votes from Buchanan in those
States. At the same time they very
generally avow that they themselves,
rather than see Fremont elected, would
gladly vote for Fillmore.
The sincerity of these Southern Sag
NIGHTS has been put to the test in Vir-
GINA and Florida. In Virginia the
leading organ of the American party
recently made formal proposition to
the Democratic party, that, if Buchan-
an in November shall get more votes
in the non-slaveholding States than Fill
more, the electoral vote of Virginia
shall be cast for the former; otherwise
tor the latter. The Buchanan organs
IN 6shot Of their party promptly re-
.2tctcd the proposition, thus showing
that they have no confidence whatever
that Buchanan's strength in the six
teen non-slaveholding States is equal
toFillmore's. They know that it is not.
A kindred proposition was made A.
bout the same time ia Florida by the
Hon. &. c. Cabcll, formerly IA member
Of Congress from that State. Mr..
Cabell stands aloof from partizan poll
tics, but, being anxious to secure the
defeat of Fremont, he addressed cir
cular letter to the American and Dem
ocratic Electors of Florida, proposing
that in case their own personal choice
should not receive majority of the
votes of the Electoral College, and the
candidate of the opposition party
Fillmore or Buchanan as the case may
bc-could be elected by the people if
Florida should vote for him, they shoe
mutually pledge themselves to vote for
such candidate, the object being to de-
feat the Black Republican nominee, &
also prevent the election going into the
House. The Democratic Electors haze
defined acceding to the proposed ar
rangemCnt.
Now we should like to know how,
after such things, the Buchanan men
of the South can have the unparalleled
and monstrous efirontery to appeal to
old line Wings and National Ameri-
cans to vote for Mr.. Buchanan in order
to prevent the success of the Black
Republican candidate. Their base and
amazing hypocracy, is laid bare to the
worlds burning gaze! They ask us, as
the Nathez Courier says, to vote for
the man whom Benton and Van Buren,
support, and who endorses squattcr
sovereignty and alien suffrage in the
Territories, in order to defeat Black
Republicanism; and yet while they ask
this, they refuse to pledge themselves
to vote for Fillmore if the defeat of
their own candidate should be hereaf-
ter rendered certain, and the election
of Fillmore, and consequent utter pros
tration of Fremont and his cohorts,
could be accomplished by their votes
Pretty friends of the South they are.
Now let US have another of their APP
pcals. We are waiting for it.

The War In Kansas.

The Lexington (Mo.) Express ofAug-
gust S0th, says:
Mr.. 5. G. Allen, Of Marris onville, ar.
rived IN our city on Thursday night,
bringing news ofthe utmost Importance
1t true. Just as he was leaving home
Ter this city, news was received from
the territory to the following effect |:
Becoming alarmed, all the pro.slavery
settlers about the Walnut Grove had
collected at camp some twelve miles
below Osawattomic, under the com.
mand Of Capt. Fleming. On Ms;,aav
Or tuesday las, Capt. Fleming started
for Missouri for reioforcements, cbare.
ed his men to keep together and no, TO
leave the camp. He had not been gone
but few hours, however, when fifty of
the men, hearing Of some horse thieves,
started in pursuit ofthem, and succeed.
cd IN catching two. These they sen,
back to camp under an escort oc six
men.
This escort was attacked and cut off
by party ofeighiy abolitioDists. Two
OF the pro.slayery men we're killed, ono
wounded in the face, and the two pris.
oners released. The abolitionisis then
attacked the camp, drove off and scat.
tered the men, and took forty hofsos
and all the wagons and provisions,
The above embraces all the news re-.
ceived from Kansas, and wo give 1t as
we received IL. No doubt something
decisive will occur within a few days.
The advance Of our army from New
Santa Fe must bring results Of some
sort, and all wo can do is to "wsit for
the wagon"

FrnnnnoRE's PROSPECTS,.

We have the gratifying assurance to
give our readers, that the prospects of
Fillmore and Donelson, for a trium-
plant election by the people, are bright
and Frightening. The conservative
elements Of the Union are blending to-
gether, unit against scctionallsm.-
In the five or six weeks that remain Of
the canvass, the gains for Fillmore
added to his present strength, will be
amply sufficient to elect him. We say
this, not to create any false hopes, or
to deceive our readers in the least, but
because We sec tho causes cnergetical-
y at work to produce this result
IRON Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, N.
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Califor-
MA, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, n.
Carolina. Georgia and Kentucky, the
accounts arc really encouraging. The
organization of the Union forces, un.
der the banner Of Fillmore and Doncl-
son, is thorough and complete, and our
friends are pushing the battle to the
very gate of the opposition, and are
charging their very intrcnchments.-
As to our own State, We have only to
say that the sham Democracy never
fought q better battle than for Wise,
with the aid, as Wise himself said, of
10000 old line Wings, and only beat
us 10000; and now, with Bolts, Flour
noy, Stuart, Garlic, Imbodcn, and a
host Of eloquent champions in the field,
bearing aloft the banner, and keeping
step to the music Of the Union, where
before we had no adYoca ties, VIC cannot
find it in our breast to despair of carry
ing the Is Electoral votes of Virginia
for Fillmore and Donclson. In view
ofhighly encouraging omcns Of success
from the four corners Of the Union, let
every man determine to discharge his
asdtridual duty to tho cause aud his
country, without regard to the humbug
aide issues sprung by the alarmed sham
Democracy, and all will be we'll.
Tho hue and cry raised by tho sham
Democracy, that it was necessary to go
Buchanan to defeat Fremont, is being
exploded rapidly, by the undeniablc
Signs of tho times. Tho humbug was
devised to disspirit and discourage Fill
morc's friends. 1t was but continu-
alton Of the humbug bugbcar started
after Fillmore was nominated, that he
would not accept the nomination.
Time gave tho lie to this declaration as
his noble, manly,and patriotic letter of
acceptance came over the great waters,
to rouse from It's lothargy the energy
Of the American phaIanX, Time and
the tide Of popular sentiment which it
enbcdics and dsclosc3, show conclu-
3,YeI y that Buchanan is not in the con-
test with any prospect Of success.--
SO far from there being any trnth in
the ort.rcpcatod thrcadbarc cry for
Buchanan's availability over Fremont,
we have now, positively, to choose be-
tween Fillmore, the tried friend Of the
Union, and Fremont the champion of
Northern sectionalism. If the recent
triumphs Of Black Rcpublicanism over
Buchanan Democracy North (in Iowa
and Mainc) do not show that tho con.
lost liOs only between Fillmore and
fremont, then We are to have no pre-.
mJntions Of tho current Of events. IF
the South does not appreciate these
demonstrations as the dcath.lne of
Buchanan in this cangasa, then che

1t is, however, generly believed that

to return, and active operations will

sent forward to give Billy fight, if he

There is good deal Of excitement
here. and some li,tle apprehension from
small bands Of Indians. whose trails have
been recently discovered here; & have
no doubt that one thousand volunteers
would be received, if they were formed,
and make application to the Governor,
Almost every man here has served three
or four terms. and the novelty Of camp
life being over with them, it is with
great difficulty that the companies now
here can be recruited. 1t may not be
improper TO say that the soldiers pay

h Fremont Club gone crer IN a Body!

We learn from the Albany IN. W
Statesman, that the Fremont Club OF
Plattskill, Ulster county, 1870 strong,
held meeting last Saturday night,
and after some conversation, rolled up
their Fremont banner, and threw it in
the fire, and then marched over in a
body to the Fillmore headquarters and
joined the Fillmore Club.
Such things are going on all over
the State Of New York. Men from
the Fremont ranks, and men from the
Buchanan ranks are daily joining the
Fillmore party, under thc conviction
that it is the only party which, by the
election of its candidate, can restore
peace and harmony to the nation. New
York is certain for Fillmore.
n Singular Fact.-Thc Philadelphia
Sun very justly remarks that all the
old fogles who have lived upon Office
in times past and have used party or.
ganizaton as the ladder upon which
to mount, are now declaring for Buch-
anap, while all the young, active, Wig.
orous, go ahead and enthusiastic arc
for Fillmore. For every man like
Thomas 81. Pratt or James A Pcarcc,
who apostatizcs, there are hundreds of

the spirit Of young America" and
