01- The democratic press South continually
urge the opposition to throw down their
ticket and unite with them in defeating the
Black Republicans, between whom and lhe
democracy they pretend to believe the contest
is. A more deceptious appeal was never
made to Southern patriotism. Mr.. Fillmore's
chances before the people are Mt least equal
to those Of the othergentlemen whose names
are up for President, and while the Federal
candidate must daily become weaker, he
will necessarily gather friends and strength
from every direction. 1t il an insul. to the
intelligence and patriotism of the American
people to pretend that the only really Ma.
tional ticket In the field Is the weakest, and
we enter our protest against any such reck.
less and unauthorized assumptions. Heaven
help the country when it is reduced to the
alternative of choice between the present
democratic party and the Black Republicans!
"Fillmore not In the 6ght"-we like the look
Of that, vastly.

YOUNG MEMS DEMOCRATIC CLUB, RATIFYING
MR.. BUcHANAN's EoMINATIoN-TwELvE


NM. BUCHANANS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE.
An attempt was made to get up ratfca-
ton meeting at the Mercer House, last eve-
ming, by the young Mems Democratic Club.
The meeting was announced to take place Mt
u o'clock, when grand rally was anticipated.
At the hour appointed, however, there were
only three or four persons on the spot; but at
8 o'clock some twelve or fourteen, all told,
had made their appearance. Members of the
"Club," in the meantime, were INDUCING in
expressions of no very pleasant character;
such as "This is too d. mean! Why in
the ~ don't they come along!". But
swearing seemed to have lost its moral power,
even n arousing the democracy, and the
meeting was almost a complete failure.
II was finally determined to organize the
meeting, which was done by appointing A. r.
Herrick chairman, and J. E. White, Secl starry.
A series of resolutions were adopted, endors
ing the Cincinnati nominations after which
the meeting adjourned.

SPIRIT OF SOUTHERN DEMocRAcY.-The
following appears in the Atlanta Intelligen.
Ger, leading democratic paper Of Georgia:
"For our part we do not scrupe to say it,
that we would sooner see Fremont, traitor as
he is to the home of his birth, the President
of the United States than Willard Fillmore,
who never ceased to hate and prosecute the
South, until the South had bought him off
with the Vice Presidency"
We publish the above simply to show the
spirit animating the southern democracy
anmating the men who claim to be the pc.
cular conservators and guardians of southern
rights. They would rather see Fremont,
the candidate of Seward, Greeley and Sum.
ner, President of the United States, than
Willard Fillmore, whom every honest man
knows is true to the Union and to the Con-
stitu,ion. Oh, but you're pretty boys to be
inviting Southern patriots to come over and
help defeat the Black Republicans!

in relation to the reception Of Mr.. Fillmore
at New York; and 10 the account of the
proceedings that followed the announcement

glorious and Spontaneous ouiburst Of entha-
siasm that met the candidate Of the Great
National American party on his return, with
the formal and apethetic movement that oc.
Cured when the wires struck the name of
James Buchanan. Read The two accounts,
both from anti-Fillmore papers, and then say
that the American candidate is not on the
track. Why Fillmore is the only nag that
is really running-he is full blooded Amer

at tremendous lick-the democratic nomi.

letter from Willard Fillmore for saying that

friends, accepted from his friends, received
without asking, and acknowledged without
counting the consequences Of success or de-

the wish of those who gave him the nomina-
ton will prompt him to withdraw his name.
The following is an extract from the letter:
ain reference to the efforts which have been
used to drive ME from my course, they who'll

desire the nomination; but my name has been
placed before the public by my friends, and

BUCHANAN A DEAD COCK IN NEW
YORK.

The New York Evening Post gives us the
following account Of the demonstrations over
Buchanan, the nominee Of the Convention at
Cincinnati:
THE DEMONSTRATIONS OVER BUcHANAN's NoMI.
NATION.
The nominations at Cincinnati awakene ed
only faint enthusiasm in our city. The
firing of one hundred guns upon the Park
yesterday, attracted the attention Of passers
BY, who inquired the occasion and passed on
with indifference. The streets during the
evening were quiet, and one would hardly
have suspected that anything unusual had
occurred. Tammany Hall was, of course
illuminated. The thing was understood and
agreed upon at meeting Of the General
Committee, three or four weeks ago, and it
was to make no difference who was nominal
ed, or what platform was adopted-the fra.
ternity pledged themselves in advance to
everything the convention should do, and
agreed to make demonstrations of approval,
whatever the result might be.
A long strip of canvass was stretched out
in front of the old Wigwam, on which were
inscribed the words.

BUcHANAs's Low WAGES SPEEcH.-The
newspapers are after James Buchanan's low
wages speech, made 10 the United States
Senate, and which was answered with so
much effect by John Davis, of Massachusetts.
1t was made during the discussion Of the
Presidential question of IA, and was familiar
to every person. 1t is more than twelve years
since we read it, says the UniOntown (Pa.)
Standard, yet we distinctly. recollect this re-
markable passage:
"Reduce the nominal (price of labor) to the
real standard throughout the world, and you
cover the country with benefits and bes-
sings"
A carefully compiled, statement of the
prices of labor in the various countries of the
old world, as well as in this country, was
made at the time, which proved the average
price ola days labor to be less than ten cents.
The speech Of Mr.. Buchanan recoied upon
him, and he made another, in which he tried
TO eat up what he had said in the first.

As regards the great compromise measures
signed by Mr.. Fillmore, it may be well
enough, as matter of record, to quote here
what rights they establish. They declare that
