Still ANorHER.-The Conservative is the
name Of a new Fillmore paper started at
Springfield, IlIinois.--Memphis Enquirer.
For month past the locofoco papers have
been publishing that there was not single
Fillmore paper in Illinois. The truth is, q
dozen of the ablest journals in the State
have the names OF Fillmore and Donelson
floating from their mast.heads, and new ones
are starting into existence every day. 1t is
folly to attempt to contradict all the lies Of
the democratic editors. You no sooner knock
one on the head, than hydra.lke, dozen
spring up in its place; and we will say to
those who read locofoco sheets that, when
ever they see an article in one in reference
to their political opponents, they will be very
safe In nine cases out Of ten in setting it
down MS made up Of falsehood and misrepre.
sentation. For ourself, we shall not notice
them hereafter--we would MS soon. under
take 10 count the leaves Of the forest or the
sands on the seashore, as try to meet all the
vile falsehoods and misrepresentation that
appear in the locofoco papers and IRE retailed
about the streets by party creatures whose
ignorance and prejudice totally units them
for discriminating between truth and false.

FILLMORE IN New YoRK.-We can assure
the people of the South that there is hardly
the shadow of doubt of Mr.. Fillmore car.
rying the State of New York by a triumph.
ant aud overwhelming majority. His friends
there are in the finest possible spirits, and
are working with diligence, an energy, and
enthusiasm, which is the sure and unfaiing
precursor of glorious victory. The con-
test in New York is entirely between Fill
more and Fremont, Buchanan being consd-
cred by common consent completely out of
the question. And so it is in many other of
the Northern States. And, consequently,
thousands of conservative Democrats, in or
der to defeat the election of Fremont, are
rallying with patriotic zeal to the advancing
standard Of Willard Fillmore. In place o:
doubt few days ago, The cheering signs of
the times have filled our bosoms with conf
dence and hope, and the thrilling assurance
of proud and mighty triumph.

The public now see what reliance is to be
placed 10 the statements of democratic pa.
pers, and the desperate and infamous means
rcsorted to to sustain the rotten and sinking
cause, of which they are the apt and fitting
advocates. Will the Banner have the mnnli.
ness and honesty to make the correction, or
will it be content to stand before the public
branded as the repeater and retailer OF one
Of the basest forgeries and imposlures ever
sought to be palmed upon an honest people!
Fo: the parties who concocted this vile fraud
and put II ohoat, we do not say they ought
TO be in the penteniiary, but we do contend
that no mans hen roost is safe while such
characters are allowed TO run at large.

SOMETHING TO Be REMEMBRRKD.-The
New York Express reminds its readers thai
during the first sixty days after the nomina
ton Of Gen. Taylor, he could not have car
ried single Northern State. He was de.
nounced as slave. holder-a Mississippi de.
mocrat furnished the Abolitionists state
ment that he was the owner Of five hundred
slaves-and everything was done to preju.
dice the minds of the people of the free
States against him. The Buffalo aNational"
Convention met Martin Van Buren, and
John Francis Adams were put on the course.
A State Convention met in Utica. John A.
Dix was nominated for Governor of New
York. Things looked so squally for North.
ern conservative white, men,-that many
among them thought Niggersm was in the
ascendant,-and that old Whitley had no
chance.
Yet, in September the asober second
thought" of the people began to act, and by
the middle of October, the election of Taylor
and Fillmore was regarded as thing ac-
complished.
The signs of the times indicated tina. a
similar change Of sentiment is now in rapid
progress in Northern States. Shortly after
the nomination of Fillmore and Donelson
their prospects looked almost hopeless in
that quarter; but so soon as Mr.. F'ilImore's
letter Of acceptance was received his friends
went to work in earnest, and after his re.
turn to his native land, change in pnblic
feeling became manifest. He has since been
gaining ground daily; and will continue to
gain ground until the day Of election. The
indications are full of encouragement; and
We feel that if the Americans but discharge
their duty firmly and zealously brilliant
triumph awaits them.

Gov. BRowN OF MIssIssIPPI.-In n letter
to his constituents, Senator Brown, of Mis-
sissippi, INDUCES gloomy forebodngs about
Bucks chances. lie claims all the Southern
States, and says:
"We think Mr.. Buchanan can succeed in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois and In.
diana. We give up all the rest"
As Tennessee, Kentucky, Delaware, Mary.
land, and Louisiana, are certain for Fillmore
in any event, Senator Browns statement is
tantamount to an acknowledgment that Buck
cannot be elected.
But here is paragraph from Senator
Browns letter, which we commend to the
attention OF the poor lying, truth abhorring
creatures who are going about charging Fill
more with aboitionism, and not to be trust
ed by the South. Mr.. Brown is an extreme
Southern democrat--he says: oa.
"No party man in Mississippi can be more
opposed politically to Mr.. Buchanan, than
am to Mr. Fillmore; and yet, tell you, as
am ready to tell all the world, if Mr.. Fill
more's chances were the best for election,
would yield my opposition without mo-
men''s hesitation, and give him my cordial
support"
We take it the Senator is lnsearnest, and
we have but little doubt that in few weeks
he will become convinced Of the hopelessness
of electing Mr.. Buchanan, and will, in ac-
cordance with what he says above, come out
and support Mr.. Fillmore, Roll on the ball
-"things is workin'." .

ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANeE.-Oul
readers recollect the case of Gen. Leslie
Combs, who left Kentucky under the i'm
preston that Buchanan had better chance
for the Northern vote than Fillmore, and was
therefore inclined to think the South ought
to unite upon Buchanan, but who when he
reached New York found that the contest
was between Fillmore and Fremont, and that
Buchanan was "bo where" in the fight. The
Natchez (sliss.) Courier, copying the letter
in which Gen. Combs made his announce.
ment, together with our comments upon it,
adds fs.. .-st n.g .-.l,.i
similar fact has transpired in this vicin-
ity. Some weeks since letter was received
here, rs we are informed, from gentleman
on North with his family, and who is one
among those most deeply interested in
Southern Misunderstanding his conviction that
the only possible mode Of preventing Ere.
monts election, WINS for all parties in the
South to unite on Buchanan. ~
Subsequently, Willard Fillmore returned.
His patriotic national speeches at Albany,
Rochester, ETC., were uttered, and the reac-
ton began. The tide was no manifestly
turning in Fillmore's favor, that the same
gentleman now takes the ground that Fill
more is the only reliance for the South, and
advises correspondent course Of action by
his friends here. His recent communications
speak Of the confident expectations of the
ex.Presdent's friends in New York, that he
will carry that State.
