FILLMORE IN ILLINoIs.-The friends of Millard
Fillmore had magnificent assembly in Spring
field, ILL.,, on the 10th instant. A letter from
that place, dated the day of the meeting, says of
it:
Every one is thunderstruck at the vast man
Hesitation of Fillmore strength. The procession
is conceded by all to be the longest and grand
est ever known in the State The magniicence
and taste displayed in the beautiful flags, mot
toes, transparencies, cars, richly comparisoned
horses, &C., was the best ever witnessed in the
West The persons in attendance outnumbered
both the Democrat and Republican Conventions
recently held here combined"

THE PENNsYLvASIA ELEcrIoN.-The Philadel

The PENNSYLVANIA ELEcroN.-The Philsdel-
phia Bulletin says:
The majority in Pennsylvania for the Demo-
cratic candidate for Canal Commissioner has
dwindled down according to the official returns,
to about twenty-eight hundred, in a total vote
of about $4,000. The increase of the vote since
November, 1852, is some $4,000, of which over
10000 was in Philadelphia alone, leaving but a.
bout 10000 for all the rest of the State. Every
day makes it more apparent that the increased
vote in this city, which carried the State cleo
ton for the Democrats, was obtained by frauds
of the worst kind The public is awakening
to the conviction of this, and already a
clue has been obtained to a great deal
of this fraud, and the manner in which it was
accomplished. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be full developementof the m0dus operanG be-
fore the Presidential election.

The Germans of Cincinnati, Ohio, made com
plete revolution in their localities at Tuesdays
election. The vote of the Seventh, Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards, Mill Greek and
Green, the German localities of the city and
county stood in 1866 at 3,7O5 majority for DEM
ocracy at the late election it stood only lol
majority for the Buchanan ticket. Loss in one
year, 1904. So there was something real in the
stories about changes among the Germans.

HoGs.-We hear of no improvement whatev-
err in hogs, says the Louisville Courier, for the
approaching packing season. The farmers gen.
orally are pretty firm, having good store Of
old corn on hand, and are asking five cents gross
for their hogs in early delivery. This is equal
to about six and one half cents net at the pack
ing houses, while buyers are offering six cents
net, with no sales reported.

A TYPE OF IT'S KIND-A gentleman relates to
the editor of the Norfolk American very good
anecdote, based on an incident which recently
took place in one of the cars of the North Caro-
lima railroad 1t affords timely and appropri-
ate illustration of the tendency of good deal OF
the Democratic ultra Southernism just at this
period. The American says:
Two persons of highly respectable appear
ance, and with every appearance OF being gen.
tlemen, commenced conversation with him
upon the political issues of the day; in which
they proceeded to stigmatize the current agitation
of the slavery question, by the Democrats at the
South, as an arrant humbug, gotten up for par
ty effect, &c. After while they lett their seats
and went forward for some purpose, when two
gentlemen, who had been listening in indignant
silence to the Black Republican TRADE of the
first named gentlemen opened conversation, in
which they took occasion to castigate, and de-
nounce most severely, the abolition proclivities
of the gentlemen who had dared to stigrnatize
the holy horror of the Democrats over the slave
ry question, as so much unmitigated humbug-
and finally intimated that such men were dan
gerous and that it would be better for them to
leave the State.
OUR friend tried nrSt 10 lnQuCe u ulore cHaIl-
table feeling towards the first speakers, but the
two last would not entertain it, then suggested
that perhaps that they, (the last speakers) were
not capable of giving an unbiased opinion, as
probably each of them owned an immense num-
Der of slaves, which property they were fearful
would be jeopardized by the liberal sentiments
of the two first speakers They assured him
that he was mistaken, that neither of them own
ed single slave, but that their Indignation at
the loose and incerdary doctrine of the two first
speakers, arose solely from pure devotion to
the South-unadultera by particle of per-
sonal interest.
After our friend-who, by the way, has the
keenest possible relish for quiet good thing
had succeeded in drawing out an immense a.
mount of Bnncombe indignation, at the vile and
incendiary doctrine of the first speakers, he very
naively enquired if they knew who the men
were whose abolition proclivities they were de-
nouncing. No, answered they. Then, said he,
l have the pleasure of informing you that one
was Mr. Pittigrew, of North Carolina, echo osons
sererul hamared slages aud the other is Jas. G.
johnson, qoho oacns nearly toco thousand! The
effect can be imagined.

EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONVENTION body,
which was in session in Philadelphia for several
weeks, adjourned on the 21st inst. Much bust
ness was transacted, and everything was con-
Quoted with moderation and kindness of feeling
that sets an example worthy of imitation by
every kind of assembly that meets to transact
matters ofimportance, where conflicting opinions
prevail One of the latest acts of the Conven-
ton was the RENTING of a decided majority of
the sentence upon Bishop II. U. Onderdonk, of
Pennsylvania, which suspended him from all
clerical functions, This sentence was imposed
twelve years ago.

Nor MUCH OF TRIUMpH.-The Pennsylvania
election turns out to be very poor Democratic
triumph after all. The Democratic Canal Com
missioner is elected by majority of only about
twenty-five hundred votes; while tho majority
against the Democrats OH the vote ofmembers of
Congress reaches nearly ten thousand! Verify,
the melancholy Democracy are hard run for q
little comfort, when they are compelled to crow
over result like this. Pennsylvania is not safe
for Buchanan by many mile, and his friends
know such to be the fact Mr.. Fillmore's chances
there are, we believe, quite equal to his. Roll

The New Orleans Bulletin says of South Car.

olina
"The Legislature casts the Electoral vote of
the State, kindly relieving the people from any
trouble in the premises. BY the way, it is not
little remarkable that the only State in the I'm
ion which has this anti-republcan feature. and
in which the people never vote for President at
all, should be more tinctured with disunion than
any other State in the Confederacy. It should
be known, however, that there is powerful
party in the mountain districts of South Caroli-
ma in favor of giving the right to elect the Pres
secessionists as the people of any State in the
Union. This party we believe to be on the
Increase"

FILLMORE IN Missouri Important Increment.
Our readers have doubtless not failed to notice
the lively confidence of the Wing and American
parties of Missouri of being able to DO something
handsome for the great conservative in that
State at the coming Presidential election. Of
course at this distance the grounds upon which
these hopes were based could not be fully known.
The st. Louis Republican of the 18th, IA Demo
cratic journal,) however, in querulnus article,
throws some light on the subject Ihat paper
says:
1.-THE leaders of the Benton party here have
sent out special instructions to their followers in
St. Charles, Franklin, Jefferson, Perry, Gascon-
ace, Osageand in short all the counties in which
Mr.. Benton received any market respect, advis-
them to vote for Mr.. Fillmore, against Mr. Buc-
hanan, and in the event that they cannot go so
far then to stay at home and let the election go
by default"

According to the New York Times in the
event of there being no choice of a President by
the people, the Democrats have concocted plan
to prevent Mr.. Fillmore's name from going be-
fore the House of Representatives, and thus to
force choice between Buchanan and Fremont.
1t is to be accomplished in this way. The Con-
stitution provides that the names of only the
three highest candidates voted for in the electoral
college are to 60 to the House of Representatives
The Buchanan men are to divide their votes in
the electoral college, one-haf voting for Mr..
Buchanan the other for Governor Wise or any
chosen name, so as to give to both higher vote
than Fillmore and thus exclude him from the
House. This idea is not new with the Times,
though 1t ushers it forth with great braying of
trulnpets. The Richmond Examiner some weeks
ago recommended it to the Democracy. There
are, however two serious obstacles in the way
of its accomplishment The first is that the
Democrats are not likely to have electoral votes
enough to carry two candidates into the House;
and tie second is that if accomplished it would
almost certainly result,in the election Of FIRE.

the particular nature of his complaint we have

doubtful whether he will ever entirely recover.

meeting of the friends of Fillmore and Donelson
at Nashville on the 10th and 18th instant. 1t is
described as brilliant pageant largely attended
from every part of the State. Amongst the
prominent speakers were the Hon. John Bell,

and Others Hon. F. X. Zolicoffer presided,
with Vice Presidents from Alabama, Mississippi,
Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

in buggies, each bearing magnificent banner,
with the coat of arms upon it. Great confidence
was expressed as to the success of the Fillmore
and Donelson ticket in Tennessee.

THE CAME1s IN TEXAS. The Galveston News
correspondence from Castroville, Medina county,
Texas, dated 10Th ultimo, from which we take
the following interesting particulars in relation
to the camels which have lately been imported
there by the United States Government:
II had also the pleasure of making the ac-
quaintance of Major Wayne, for several years
attached to the War Department in Washington,
who went out last year to Asia and introduced
the camels into this country which arrived at
Indianola last spring, and are now kept at this
post It has been selected by him as the best
adapted to that service for which he intends
them. When we arrived they were grazing
some two miles distant, attended by the Arabs
who have charge of them, when Major Wayne
very kindly sent out and had them driven in for
our inspection. There are altogether thirty-two,
including some young ones and all are i'll excel
lent health, and seem to be doing well. Major
Wayne gave us very interesting account of
their habits and pecularities, and he ordered
one of them to be led out and loaded as if for
Journey. After kneeling to receive the pack
saddle, most cumbrous load Of itself, but such
as are used in the country from which they came,
q load of corn was placed on the animals back,
sufficient for two mules to draw in u wagon,
with which he started off at good round pace.
A dromedary was next lead out, which is the
saddle animal of the camel, and, after kneeling
10 receive the saddle, he was mounted by an
Arab, who started off across the prairie at a
pace which seemed to me not much short of q
two forty lick This pace they can keep up for
hours in succession, travelling with perfect ease
from sixty to eighty miles per day. They can
also subsst for several days without water, and
their adaptability to the frontier service for
which they are designed is now q matter beyond
doubt. Major Wayne informed Inc that he had
forty more animals coming out, and he is now
building stable in which they will be kept,
which he expects to get finished before the cold
weather sets in -

Alabama, has recently declared himself in favor
of Fillmore, and publishes an able letter announ-
cling his determination to support him. In this
letter occur the following spirited sentences:
81 am an old line Democrat of the strictest
sect, and have determined to support Mr.. Fill
more not that love my party less, but because
love my country more.
SIN my humble opinion, to support Mr.. Fill
more in this contest, is to support the Union OF
this glorious Confederacy, that was ceinented
together by the blood of our Fathers.
II have weighed well the whole question in
volved in this canvass, and it is my candid opin-
ion that every man, who loves his country more
than party, should vote for Fillmore, Donelson
and the Union"
