Occasionally We hear Of individuals, here in
Virginia and the South, who profess a preference
for Mr.. Fillmore. declaring their intention to vote
for buchanan. as the only means Of defeating
Fremont. Now, Il these persons would eve

the election going into the House. Negrtnt IL.
But what is gained Coniessedly, II the issue
goes there Fremont stands no chance. lhe
Tribune admits this, and know the fact with
out admission. Suppose the election 10 60 10 the
House The worst that could then happen
would be the election of Buchanan. Those per.

do very weak aud silly thng-they propose TO
vote against their own preference and their own
conviction of right when by so voting they tail

Buchanan should al any time become necessary
TO prevent the election Of Fremont. the only place
where II can be made ofeetual Is in the House oil
and Americans as many think Of deserving Fill

should the election go into the House, we antiei=

They represent Southern States, aud no man
can affect fear that they could be induced IL

he done before the dth of March, when the ses
sion would expire, and when, If no election should
have been made. the matter would pass into the
hands of the Senate 1.-THE friends Of MIR. fili-
more choose TO adhere TO their own candidate
instead Of voting for Mr. Bnchanan. they can vote
away the session, and leave the Senate to elee,
Mr. Breckinridge-a result that we apprehend
all parties in the South would much prefer 10 the
election of Mi Buchanan. But there IL another
contingency. As the iih of March approached,
the friends of Fremont despairing OF his election,
and seeing that the consequence of "A longer al
herence TO him would be the election Of Breek.
jnridge-a democrat n sonthern-iights man and
a slave holder would most likely determine 10
defeat that result by casting their votes either
for Buchanan or Fillmore. Which would they
choose Let it be conceded that in respect 10
the slavery question these gentlemen would be
equally obnoxious to them-the scale would then
be turned by other considerations. The Demo.
Gratis tell Us that the Black Republican members
of Congress are, almost 10 man. Americans IN
sentiment. Leaving out the question OF slavery
they would have to choose between two eandi-
dates, with one of whom CHR. Buohananl they
agreed upon no question. and with the other OF
whom they agreed upon the important reforms IN
our naturalization and citizenship laws, which the
American party propose TO introduce into the
policy of the government. Taking this view OF
the mat,er,we do not fear the House OF Represen
tatives. the worst that could happen there
would be the election of Buchanan next to that
Breokinridge-and best of all Fillmore. The
course of wisdom and patriotism is for all who
have confidence in Mr. Fillmore to vote for him
not only vote for him, but work for him. Let
this be done throughout the country, and there
need be no speculations about the result in the
House, because the election would never 60 be-
fore that tribunal. The Model President would
be chosen by triumphant majority. SO mote
it be.
In the year 1890 and for several years thereafter
the South bad forty-seyen members of the House OF
Representatives, while the North had only thirty
four Since that time the North has, by means of
