The fredericksburg Meas, Fillmore pa
per, has the independence to dissent from a
portion of the Speech of Fl. Winter Davis,
at Richmond. Some Of the opposition are
beginning to get their eyes open. It is time.
They have been too long blinded by the dark
lantern There are some quadrupeds that
do not open their eyes for several days, but
the bipeds of Sam-ocracy have had their
eyes closed for as many years. Some
Some have been so long without light that
they have become stone blind. No truth,
however obvious, nor argument conclusive,
makes any impression upon their wilful
hardness. Their armadillo hides are imper-
vious to the lash of truth and reason. The
Ncus, however, is in hopeful condition.
In speaking of DaYiss Speech, it says:
ssSome of Mr. Davis's remarks in connex-
ion with the Kansas difficulties were very
much disapproved of BY portion of his au-
dience, particularly his observations in re-
gard to the Petersburg emigrants. lie
Charged treason distinctly upon those men,
whilst there was no word of condemnation
except in Il general way-for the Northern
Sharpe's Rifles party, who Went out there
with none but the most diabolcal designs.
1t is possible Mr. d. may have felt con-
scious of his own rectitude, and may have
considered that he was at Liberty to tell a
Southern audience of what he conceived to
be their faults, believing that they would
take it for granted that he meant to con-
denim the various atrocities of the northern
free-soilers; however this may be, he touch
ed a sensitive chord and may have cause to
regret it that he was not more considerate
or less plain spoken"

republican majority I.

In the present Congress tue represents
ton from the above districts stand equally
divided. IN reference to the Presidency
She above States stand, II electoral votes for
Fremont, Y for Buchanan. Iowa AMI
Maine we're considered two of the most
doubtful free States. They have both been
carried largely By the Fremont party. Fill
morcism had no share in the victories in
those States. In Iowa the Know Nothing
State Council met recently, at Iowa city,
and resolved to support Fremont and Day
ton. In Maine only remnant of Fillmore
ism is feand in the straight Wing partf
most of which however is Democratic. As
a distinct clement, the Fillmore party is viz,

By permission of a friend, we make ex-
tracts from letters which have been received
by him from various quarters, showing the
prospects of the Democratic party:
NEw YoRK, Sept 49, 1856
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 10Th inst.
is duly received. We shallgive Mr. Buch-
anan at least 10, 900 plurality in this city,
and from present indications carry the State
for him. The Democracy here are well a.
ware of the great interest at stake, and are
preparing for the worst with great spirit and
energy. think among the Northern
States that may be counted on are N. Jer-
sey, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, with
a fair prospect for Connecticut, Ohio, and
several others.

Game Of the ODpOSitiOn.

Inc poncy OF the opposition now Is to
Drag largely as to the prospects of Fillmore,
and decry those of Buchanan. Every hy-
pothetical statement that chances to fall fresn
a Democrat, in any quarter, is magnified in
to grand disclosure and admission of weak
ness in the Democratic party. Our people
have heard this game of brag SO often that
it must fall like an old song upon their ears.
The object to be accomplished by this
game is, to inspirit the disheartened Know
Nothings and Wings, and to discourage ere
dulous Democrats. This is no new game
with them In attempting to deceive us
they have deceived their own party, to their
sore discontinue and frequently heavy loss.
All willrcmember the extravagant decara-
tons in the last Gubernatorial canvass. BY
way of refreshing the recollections of our
readers, we will make brief extract from
the Stount0a True american of May 9th,
1855, which is as follows:
I'VE renew to you the assurance, that we
have on this CWo dnesday) morning, infor-
nation from almost every county in the
State, and we announce to you, IN ALL CAN
DOR AND SINCERITY, that so far from losing
by Withdrawals, &c, we have actually gain
ed at the rates of over TWO THOUSAND
4 WEEK, for the last two months
The American Party numbers at this
day in Virginia, over
sO,OOO VOTES,
and if we prove true to ourselves, our prin-
ciplcs, and our country, we shall beat the
enemy by upwards of
80, OOO!''
! This is pretty fair specimen of their cal
culations in 1855, when they protested to
have all their men enrolled and accurately
counted. If they could not come within
40, 600 of the vote in Virginia, under such
circumstances, what caa we expect of them
now ? 1t will be remembered that Wise
beat Flournoy about 10000 The opposi-
ton must get up the steam higher, brag
largo, and swear louder, if they succeed i'll
deeeiFing any enc now. The purses of some
Of tie ere,iulous opposition were too much
depleted at the election for Governor to seize
hold % tbe boa8tipg of the opposition with
confidence.
Let every one be on his guard, and not
credit every vague report that is waited up
on the breeze
Truth is mighty and must prevail The
Democracy are thoroughly united, and fight
ing the battle Of the Constitution with zeal
that knows no abatement, and with power
that must bear down the opposition of the
fanatcal hords at the North.
In Virginia the party have never been
more sanguine, IN fact, too much so to fully
deyelope the strength of the party, we fear
That we viii carry the State there is no
doubt, but the majority should be rolled up
to Is or 90, GOO
There is now Just one month for us to
work. We are glad to see the party moving
in portions of the county. There is every
consideration to prompt us to Jealous action,
to save the Constitution and the Union.

In the Nashville Union of August 10,
1844, and copied in the Washington Globe
of August 81, 1871, is full and authen-
tic account Of the celebrated Democratic
mass meeting held at Nashville, Teanes-
see, during. the 18th and 18th days of Au-
gust, 1911 From that document we select
the following extract:
s',r',e Hon. Lynn B5yd, CT Kentucky,
was to have addressed the meeting on the
secard aay, but in the progress of the dis
eassion, Maj. 4. j. Bonelson, who was in
the chair in the absence of the president,
announced to the meeting that he had just
received note from Mr.. Boyd, informing
him that an accident in the overturu-
ing of Il carriage containing his family, in
the morning--in which, however, no seri-
Gus personal injury had been sustained
would prevent him from being present to
address the meeting. Maj. Donelaan, on
making this annunciation, called the atten-
ton of the meeting to the fact shat Mr..
Boyd was the distinguished Kentuckian who
had charged and proved upon Mr.. Clay, in
his place in Congress, the charge of bar
gain, intrigue and corruption in the Presi-
DENTAL election of 1925, and who had been
sustained by his constituents in his course.
lie, therefore, proposed nine cheers for Lynn
Boyd and the Democracy Of his district"

The Frost Tobacco Killed. IA Tee-
graphic dispatch from Louisville. Ky,
Thursday, says that heavy frost had fallen
IN that region which severely damaged the
growing tobacco, and consequently adyan-
eed prices. The Tobacco on the fat land
in Pittsylvania county. Va. was severely
damaged by frost Tuesday night Tn.
Danville Republican thinks the amount OF
good and ripe tobacco in that section will
be small. There were heavy frosts ia
Mecklenburg county, Wednesday and
Thursday morning, and in Milton, n G.,
and Norfolk, Va. In Charleston, s, G.,
the thermometer Wednesday fell to 46 de-
grees, and passengers on the South Carolina
Railroad and the Wilmington and Manches-
ter Railroad report heavy frosts.
THE SUMNER IN CALIFORNIA has been
very dry, and in consequence many Of the
mining bitches and canals in the gold region
were very low. Much fever and other SICK
ness had also prevailed in Sacramento val
ley. So great was the scarcity Of water
that the stages on tho Red Bluffs route to
Yreka had to carry with them two ten gal
Ion kegs Of water for a distance of thirty
miles, from one station ia another, to water
the stock.

instances which might be given, but space
forbids. 1.-THE Spectator can approve of
one, who has declared himself in favor OF
Congress excluding the South entirely from
the Territories, it comes with bad grace
from it to object to one, (admitting its
charge to be true who is willing to allow
the South to have chance to preserve her
property in the Territories, if she can get a
majority of the popular vote.
