SIR i am hsre to-day having just arrived. ''oyer-

isppi. The Fillmore men: are mach chopfailen "
and dspirited by he repoxt of the Kentucky eiec-
tons. What must be done f n them 2 Tie Buchanas
men, the contrary in sestacies, more it seems.
on account Of the downfa of Know Nothing
ism in its stronghold than for any other reason, az
very few seem to have mueh confidence in Mr..
B1chanans Success Tfrs latter will apply to every
section of country in wh;sa awe travelled. An
parties are agreed that Yrem0n { win sweep the
whole North. Now, sir, Let me olsclose to you q
secret. Fremont is much more pop tiar here in the
South than any one North would suppose. Many
are fascinated with his adventurous spirit, and
many more believe him to be IN favor Of the annex
alton Of Cuba. This Cuba affair is almost Q
universal mania at the South, paItcu lariy with tho
democracy. They do not hestste to sp ak Of it pub
lcly es one of their political creeds. In further
testimony Of this can add that Witnessed very
large mass meeting OF the democracy in this State
in which VIM. L. Yancy was ohe ruling spirit
where they hosted large and expensive dag, with
this netto: Kansas and Cuba The enthusiasm
on its appearance was unm:stakably ardent.
There IS also another class OF men-and am told
they are very numerous in North Alabama and
Georgia and East Tennessee-who do not own.
slaves and live in barren and mountainous
country, where slave sbor would cot be profitable
These men generally iliterate aad ignorant. and
believe that their poverty is in conse sueAce OF slaves
being in the country working tie best lands, DC.
So this class, added to the mechanics everywhere,
(who are dead out against coming in contact with
slave labor,) will make formidable party at tho
South. And intelligent men know IS, and often
speak OF il. Now, sir the material is here-t exists
on principle mostly. Eject Fremont ticket in any
of the Southern States, except south Carolina, and
what know, as am and have been IN. confidence
with such authority - will do to rely on. to say
nothing Of my own observation in the whole South.

TO THE EDf1oa or THE HERALD.
Permit me to thank you for the favorable notice OF
my views on slavery and it's ultimate destiny. SEQ
by an article from the London Ttm@, published in
your HEnALp Of 24sA July, the following admis-
sons:-"One thing we may presume, and IL will pro-
bably be denied by none: Great Britain has no wish
for territory on the Central American coast Our
West India islands are fast reapsing into primitive
savageness When the rich lands Of Jamaica are
being yearly abandoned, and when, in Trinidad and
Guiana cultivation has almost ceased, II is not likely
that England win care TO extend her sovereignty
further over tropical territory, which can only be
brought into use by system which has been so
lemnly condemned" Thus you see great country
admitting that white labor cannot succeed in rais-
ing cotton, sugar and rice-articles indispen-
sable TO her existence. They started wrong
In abolishing slavery in those islands. False
pride prevents its restoration to system in
dispensable to independent existence, rather depend
ing on Others more practicable, 20 do Il for them.
These facts should at least cause England and the
North to cease their opposition to slavery, which
labor The Southern people believe that slavery is mo-
rally right, and OF absolute necessity IL IL not the
owners of slaves who alone think but those In the
South who have none think the same way; aud a.
they get the means IL Is the first thing they
do to buy one or more as fast as their ability viii
allow.
Your reasoning about the number of slave owners
who are willing 10 dissolve the Union tor their
rights. and those who have none being opposed to
those who have leading you into fatal error which
fear will be seen by the North too late. The North
thinks there will be other Union parties Mt the South
stronger than those who strike for their
rights This Is not the The South has borne all
