AN ERRONEOUS CoNCLusION.-Wc under
stand that since the nomination of Fremont
by the Republicans, it has been asserted by
some Of the Buchanan men here that Mr.
Fillmore stands no chance. That is all gam
mon. There is no just foundation 70, any
such conclusion. Fremont will take more
votes from Buchanan than from Fillmore, in
the North. The locofocos have never sue
cecdcd III the northern section of the Onion
lately, except by coalescing with the aboli
tionists; in this contest the abolitionists re-
fuse to join them and they will lose all the
locofoco states in the Nolth The RrpuLli-
cans claim even PennsS lvania by large ma
.oiity, And as for the South, beyond ques-
ton Mr.. Fillmore must beat Buchanan there
The fact is just this: that if the old line
wings OF Maryland want to elect the Repub.
lcan candidate, the Lest way they can do 50
is to announce their intention to vote for
Buchanan: that will drive thousands of men
in tic North to Fremont; but if, as true
friends of the Union, they support Mr.. Fill
more, than whom there is no better man in
the country, in good faith. they will diminish
Frrmont's vote in the North.
We hold now, as We have all along held,
that Fillmore is certain to be President; so
let every Fillmore man and Union man take
courage and stand up for their candidate and
their country.

MORE SlGNs.-The signs against Mr..
Buchanan arc rising up daily and increasing
in gloom; yet in spite Of all we hear some OF
his friends pursuing the brag game with
which they started while their prospects
seemed fair.
New YORK, June lG.--Ilon. Lot Nlorril,
Chairman Of the Democratic State Committee
Of Maine, rcpudiatts the nomination Of Mr..
Buchanan,
0JTThc Buffalo Republic, one of the lead
ing Democratic papers i'll New York, has de-
clarcd that it can, under no circumstances.
support the nominees of the Cincinnati Con-
vcltion upon the platform adopted by that
body. The editor of the Republic, Benjamin
Wclch has heretofore been prominent can
dldate OF his party for various State Offices,
and at the date of his desertion was chairman
Of the Democratic Committee Of Buffalo.
GJ@Thc New York Post the leading paper
of one of the wings of the Democracy in that
State, and which supported Mr.. Pierce with
unusual power and zeal has hauled Off from
Buchanan and will not touch him.
GJ"Thc Columbia, South Carolina, Times,
(lcaling dcmocratic,) thus repudatcs Buch-
anan:
MIR. Buchanan's antecedcnts are such that
we cannot give him our support; nor do we
believe that the people of South Carolina can
be induced 10 assist in placing him in the
Presidential chair. lie is not only a rene
gade from the Wing party, a tariff man, and
Fedcralist, but Frcesolcr, having given
his support to almost every Northern move
mcnt introduced to circumscnbc the area
covered 10y the institution Of slavery. 70
sun, up the whole of his history, he is not an
advocate Of State Rights, and we doubt not
he will 90 farther than any of his predecessors
if elected to consolidate the government.
South Carolina cannot consistently support
Mr.. Buchanan. Ills nomination is a rebuke
to Nv. Pierce and his administration.

Mr.. CLAYTON on TIE KANSAS DIFFICULTY.
The best proposition on the Kansas question
was that made by Hon. j. NJ. Clayton in the
Senate on Monday last. Some of its principles
are as follows:
ltprovidcs that the Secretary Of State
shall! cause census to be taken, making one
thousand clSons the basis for one represent
tativc and two thousand for a member Of the
Council of the Territory. Legal voters must
be iona fde residents three months before the
election; and one month resident in their res
pcctivc election districts. No law shall re-
main i'll force violative Of the great principle
asserted i'll the Kansas and Nebraska bill rel
alive to non-interven,ion on the slavery qucs-
ton, nor shall any test oath be required r,la.
tive TO the Fugitive Slave act or other law of
Congress. The bill also provides that when
the Territory shall contain nincty-tlrec
thousand foul hundred and twenty inhabi-
tants, the people shah be authorized to call
a Convention for the formation Of State
Constitution.

That the petitioners, "in common with tho
public at large, have long sustained great in-
convenience and injury in travelling and tcan-
ing over the main road leading from Port

consequence Of the nalrowncSs of the said

ton Of the road, the meeting of Carriages anr
