LOUISVILLE, Oct. 4, 1856.
DEAR SIR: The policy OF the whole American
press throughout the South after tbs State elections
IN October in the North should be 10 urge the with.
drawa Of James Buchanan, prorided the Elections eo
against him. Our advices from Pennsylvania are,
that he will be beaten 10000 votes in October, and
the party will be utterly routed in Ohio and Indiana
We sh concert of action upon this matter to give
il force and trust you will give your earliest atten-
vn. We will take measures TO have the news tele
graphed to all points in the South, so that there may
be no delay and would be well to write articles be-
,orehand for immediate insertion, leaving blanks 10
be filed up with probable majorities. We do not
think, from all our advices, the Democracy can carry
single Northern State in the October elections, and
our papers should urge the conservative portion OF
the Democracy to withdraw their candidate and unite
upon oure.
Our friends of Indiana claim 10000 votes as their
strength aud say they could easily beat Fremont If
Buchanan was out Of the way; Fremont's greatest
strength there comes from the Democracy. The
case is pretty much the same in Pennsylvania.
We make these suggestions, and hope they will
meet your appreciation
We would be pleased TO hear from you at any time.
Our State we consider certain for Fillmore.
'0"'' "Hft THfos. H. HUNT, Chairman.
Please notify the American editors Of the State.
From the date of the above which was addressed
to u.s. it may be observed that the letter has been in
our hands for some length of time 1t was Of course
sent to us through mistake, and we have not taken
advantage of the information thus impaired to us,
uuwittingy until after the elections to which re-
fers have trsnspired and resulted in way different
TO that anticipated by the writer. The Fillmore par
ty by this circular, have indirectly admitted that 1t
Mr.. Buchanan should carry Pennsylvania, Indiana
carried Pennsylvania and Indiana by respectable
maiorities in those elections. Now, if the Fillmore
party will act as they intended the Democratic
party to in the event of defeat in those States
they have it in their power to elect Mr. Buchanan 6y
an overw helming majority. The entire vote OF the
South, with the vote Of Pennsylvana and Indiana,
which is now certain for him, and the vote of other
free States which he will get, will not only elect him,
but will sgnally defeat the designs of the Black Re-
pubcsns. We were 10 be called upon to act the
magnanmous part of patriots; yield our preferences
for Mr. Buchanan and, as lovers OF our country, vote
for Mr.. Fillmore. Now, will the Fillmore men act
upon their own suggestion and in the South vote Tor
the conservative man whom they know they can
eect1 1t is demonstrated TO be in their power to
elect Mr.. Buchanan. If they do not divide the vote
have been honest in their appeals to the Democrats
in behalf of Mr.. Fillmore, in case Of defeat in Penn
sylvana, Ohio and Indiana, will they not, in then
honesty ofdevOtion to the Union, relinqush their at
tempts to distract the South We shall see.
Wheeiiag Argus.
