Maine and Vermont.

The black Republicans are in ecstacies over the
result in Vermont and Maine; and their shouts are
febly echoed back to their shame be it said by some
of the Southern Know Nothing presses. These
presses enlarge upon the Democratic defeats in those
States, and then ask with ill.concealed exataton
"where is Mr.. Buchanan's strength" We answer,
not so much in Maine Vermont as in all the slave
holding States, and in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New Hampshire, Indiana, Illinois, and California. But
where is Mr.. Flmore's strength Not in Maine,
Iowa, or Vermont for his name is not mentioned in
the returns from those States. He is counted out
there in other free States and the contest is be-
tween Buchanan and Fremont Fremont, who is
supported by the abolitionsts and by the Northern
Know Nothings, who were, but short time back,
the affcctionate brothers of these same Southern
Know Nothings.
But let us what the results really are in Yer
mont and Maine compared with former results

Mr. FHlmore IL careful to repeat that he - not the
wing but the Anssyicann Candidate, and speaks
of the Wings as his g former associates 2 Heis
" member of the order" In choosing between him,
therefore, and othei candidates, there is compro.
mise of Wing principles. A true Wing may act as
his conscience Dictates unbiased by other obliga-
tons.
But there is another consideration of the greatest
moment in reference to the pending presidential
election. The contest is practically bets0een the
Democratic and Abolition parties. There is not
the slightest probability that Mr. Fillmore can be
elected president by the electoral Colleges. If he
should succeed in getting one or two States, which
only effect Of it might possibly be not to elect ham
IN amy contingency but to gioe the election to the
present House Of Representatives. from which every
true patriot and honest man, will exclaim, may God
detaoer us Under the critical circumstances which
surround us, sincerely believe that the Union and
the Constitution and the rightful equality of the
States, under the Federal compact, are in imminent
peril: and leaving others to judge for themselves,
for myself feel it to be my duty to vote in COM
pany with thousands of firm and true old line Wings
throughout the nation, for the candidates of that
party which will have the ability, in political power,
as well as the patriotic disposition TO preserve and
perpetuate the Union, the Constitution and the
equality of the States. Under existing circumstances
the party of which Mr.. Fillmore is the candidate,
cannot IN any probable contingency, be in posi-
ton to exercise such an influence And the NOM
inees of the Democratic party are the only candid
ates now before the people, who may have it in their
power to prolong il not to perpetuate the blessings
which are guaranteed to by the free institutions
under which we have heretofore SO happily and so
prosperously lived
My purpose is, therefore, to give my support to
those distinguished statesmen, Messrs. Buchanan
and breckenridge, who are eminenty qualified for
the highest positions in the government, and who
are the candidates most likely to defeat Fremont,
the sectional and abolition candidate and to be able,
under Divine Providence, to allay the natical strife
and the bitter and bloody distractions which now
unhappily divide our country and threaten the very
existence of the Constitution, and the Union.
