FlImorc's election by the House The world will
hear witness that we have not had word to say,
from the beginning of this "las fond bope :; and the
word will now have to excuse US for another act of
Incbaritablcness fer we under the painful
cpssity of crushing this little insect of an aspiration
10 death as ruthessly as did the other.
His party cannot by any possibility get Fillmore's
rqme before the House LIST, because Mr.. Buchanan
will be elected by the people; Cd, because, if Mr.
Buchanan fail of an election by the people, il will be
bv the vote for Fremont, who will be elected instead
all the States North and South being certain to
vote either for Buchanan Fremont Sd, because
though Fillmore should get the vote Of one
States and though the casting OF such States vote
for him should as il will not likely do defeat choice
BY the people, then he cannot get into the
House. as We shall cruelty and corclusvely show.
Concedng, for the sake OF argument, and for thai
sake oniy that Fillmore shall carry Maryland-the
only State North or South in viii h his party makes
even semblance Of hopeful contest; the electoral
vote of Maryland being but eight the electors of any
single Buchanan State having only nine-Georgia,
for instance, with ten votes-may prevent Fillmore s
name getting before the House by casting her poll
for s,y D S. Dickinson. For, the Constitution re-
curing the House to choose from the three who re-
criye II highest vote in the electoral college, Mr..
Fillmore, being behind Buchanan, Fremont and Dick
inson, would be dropped fourth rate.
Bul, using more violent suppositiOn, and asSum-
ing that Fillmore should by miracle receive as many
as sixty electoral votes; then his name would
not get before the House. For no one preends that
Mr. Buchanans woe in the electoral college can be
less than l25 by any possibility if the Buch-
electors, by agreement divide 1t equally between
Buchanan, and, say, MIR. Dickinson-wIIl give each
larger vote han Fillmore, keep Fillmore out of the
House, and compel a choice by that body between
Fremont and one or the other, Buchanan Dckin-
son. What becomes of all the twaddle and gable
about the certainty of Fitlmore's election The hope
of getting his name before the House the only hope
on which it is based the hope of gambling him into
the Presidency is hope which the Democracy II
they choose as easily crush out as they can reao
out The life of a worm.
But specuatons of this sort are useless and idle
The election will be made by the people, and Mr.
Buchanan will be chosen President by the most de
cided popular vote that elevated candidate &c

The Frost Accoumts---Cotiom Crop.
We have had accounts from the entire cotton
region and our worst apprehensons have been re-
allied The frost of the LIST inst has made finish
of what cotton had not been killed bv the lrosts oil
the 23d and Gath of September. All that has es'
capped on the poor highlands and that will make
no difference, as il will yield nothing should it e5
cape till December the drouth having already put a
stop to it's growth and production We set down
the loss by the frost at 10000 baesby the drouth
storms &C. at 100000, making $4,000. We Sc
down the actual production of the last crop at $780,

previous wear which could not be got to market j.
Allowing then that, had no disaster bealen the pre-
sent crop, it would have been equal to the last i

not have been the case, however, for the reason thai
had stands were obtained, and its early growth thrown
back fully three weeks behind that of the last croE

these reasons set down the present crop at 5OO,

not by possibility reach 1900, 600 bales.
Others besides ourselves have, it appears, come
10 the same conclusion, evidenced In the rapidly
advancing tendency at all the seaports.
But in view of this great reduction, our planters
must not feed themselves with the hope that the pr
