Filirnore,s Prospects.

We have not heretofore indulged in any specula- /
ons to the prospects of the different candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, for the rea
son that the mist that enyeoped the whole subject
has been too great until recently to enable us with
any degree of certainty to ascertain what will be the
result. We are free to confess, that, when we took
for the candidates of our choice We felt, however,
that whether they were elected not they deserved
to be, and thatit was our duty to aid with our hum

Before his arrival patriots everywhere viewed with
anxiety and alarm the troubled sea of politics. All
sectionalists hoped and many lovers OF the Union
feared that upon his arrival he would withdraw from
the canvass. But not SO. The country wasin danger
and patriotism demanded that he should throw him
self in the breach attempted to be made by facton-
lists. He did so and the country from Maine to Cali
fornia breathed reer. Everywhere he recognized
the man for the crisis, and to-day he is stronger
both at the North and South than either Buchanan or
Fremont Even Mississippi is not hopeless. The
Democrats last November only carried the State by
about 5000 majority. They were then thoroughly
organized and enthusiastic. Now the reverse is the
