DELAwARE.--This little state, it would
seem by the late election, is quite certain to
vote for Buchanan There was, perhaps, -
nav, there probably still is,--no state so
likely to vote for Fillmore as that. Yet no
one can now anticipate such an event.
And we have noticed that some Of our
contemporaries have been led, by the result.
of the Baltimore election, to conclude that
it was probable that Maryland would vote
for Fillmore. We gather no such conclu-
sion, and entertain no such idea, 1t is no
matter TO US which Southern candidate she
votes for, but We will risk all our reputation
as a political prophet that she will vote for
Buchanan, and by a very emphatic vote, too.
There Is no way by which a friend of
Free sentiments can express himself, prac-
tisaly, in this campaign, but by voting for
the Republican ticket. His zeal must over
come his perceptivc powers if he does not
see this. The issue is clear as the noon day
sun. The candidates are, practically, but
two, and as between them, il he has choice,
he should select. There is nothing more
certain than that the electoral colleges will
make President, and we cannot see how II
is nationally probable to any mind that eve
ry Southern college will not vote for Buch-
nnan. Whoever thinks differently is des-
tined to disappointment.
CONNECTICUT ELEcTIos. - Some OF the
Black Democracy have been felicitating
themselves over the result of the Connecticut
elections. The elections were simply for
town officers, and are not of very great signl-
canoe, perhaps. But SO far as the result is
/ significant Of any thing, it is to the advan-
| tage of the Republican cause. Generally the
| Buchanan and Fillmore men coalesced, and
the Fremont men made fight against them
single handed. And the result, against this
odds, shows an average gain of several
towns, and an aggregate gain Of 1000 votes
over the vote Of last spring. There is the
/ best possible assurance that Connecticut will
give not less than 10000 majority for Free
mont on the 4th Of next month.
COALITION ~ OHIo.--lt has now been as
certained, and proved by the confession Of
the recipients of money and of correspond
ence from prominent Buchaneers which has
been published, that the Black Democracy
and Fillmore operators in Ohio have been in
collision for the purpose of diyerting the
Free strength and aiding the cause Of Buch-
anan and the Slavery Propagandisis, md
that the expenses, or great portion of
them, have been paid by the BUCCANEERS, in
good part by the buchanan candidates for
Congress, who expected to be Immediately
aiyantaged by it. Let honest Freemen, who
desire to act ntelligently and Effectively,
consider these things, and, purging their
minds of all prejudice, act as knowledge of
these facts should prompt him.
TnE Dissolution liusBuc.--The Norfolk
/ (Va.) Herald, discussing this raw head and
bloody-bones OF the present campaign, saws
sit is n notorious fact, that all the
clamor about dlsunion originates with cleo
pioneering, and from political demagogues
OF the Democratic party. They started the
campaign, Immediately after Mr.. Buchaan-
ans nomination, with this transparent sub.
terfuge, to intimdate weak minded, vascila-
ting persons, whose fears made them sus-
cepnble Of such impressions"
The Border Ruiian st. Louis Republican,
which has emphatically ''gin eout" in ia
efforts in that direction, as its latest convic-
ton declares:
"Iherc IS good reason to believe that il
the opinion should gain credence in the South,
that any party now aspiring to pre- emn-
ence, was based upon determined plan of
a dissolution of the Union, a stampede
would be produced in the ranks Of that par
", such as has had no parallel during the
history Of parties in the Union.o
And the Nashville (renn.) Daily Gasette,
in an article on the subject, remarks:
"There is no country in the world where
patriotism takes SO tangible a shape and so
firm hold Of the mind as here none where
each individual feels SO surely that he is an
integral part OF the great national whole,
and that he will be an individual sufferer il
that Wuoie Is diminished. The honest pcD-
ple-the men who bear the burdens of GOV
eminent and the brunt Of battle, are opposed
to disunion, civil war, fraternal bloodshed
- the conlagration of houses and cities, the
massacre of women ana children, and all
the dreadful and untold cnormitics Of civ
il war-horrid war unto death, consequent
upon secession and revolution
