Such efforts tend to widen the breach be-
tween the North anG the South--to prevent a
union Of the people upon safe, conservative
man, -and, what is more, these efforts tend
directly to advance the interests and prospects,
and in truth, they tend 20 insure the election
Of the very man whom the Washington Union
Processes so much to dread At this very day
that press is doing more to secure the election
of Fremont, than the New York Herald, Tri-
bune, and Times combinedi The reason is
obvious, the three last-named presses are
openly and ayowedly in favor of Fremont, and
the people are forewarned by knowledge OF
this fact to distrust them, whilst the Wash
ington Union is professedly opposed to Ere
mont, and therefore 6elieped by the South,
whose people, trusting to the lead Of that
press, rush headlong into a sectional contest
where nothing but defeat can followi
Every line written by the Washington
Union in favor Of Buchanan, is worth to FIRE.
mont more than whole column Of the Herald,
Tribune or Times, in his favor! All that FREE
mont's friends at the North desire is, to induce
the South to accept the sectional issue created
by the nominations of Fremont and Buchanan.
If this be accomplished Fremont is safe for
the Presidency And that poor miserable
sleepy concern, Qhe Washington U,sion) is
actually, day after day, playing into Fremont's
hands, by holding on to Buchanan, and
making sure sectional contest and a sectional
uictory! Hthe Democrats themselves do not
open their eyes to these solemn truths, they
may find themselves, when they wake up, in
the arms Of the Republicans
And if all the evils that would flow from the
elevation of Fremont could fall upon the heads
of the Democracy, and on them alone, and
leave unframed our political institutions, we
would withhold our warnings in the future,
and leave them to fate they so richly merit
We say to the South and to the country IF
Fremont shall be elected to the Presidency, the
whole blanche whole censure (and we could
wish that all the evils of his election also) will
belong to those leaders of this sham Democra-
cy who have knowingly waged, and now seem
determined to keep up, sectional contest, in
the face of certain and inevitable defeat

The above item, contained in the Washing
ington Union of yesterday, it seems to US, is
significant of the actual state of the political
prospects of "Buck and Brock" Mr.. Brock
inridge is gentleman of quick perception, and
doubtless saw, the very moment he reached
Pennsylvania, that all the boasting and bragg
ging about the strength of cold Squatter Sow
ereign" in that State, was gamnaon, as it is
we'll known to be, by all who have any know
ledge of public opinion in that State. We at
tribute Mr. Breckinridge's return home to a
settled conviction made upon his mind, that it
is useless to make any further efforts. Before
Mr. B. was written to from Washington, to go
into Indiana and then visit Pennsylvania, it
was concluded here that unless he did so all
would be lost.
Much was expected from the chaste and elo-
quent speeches of this gentleman, and, doubt
less, as much or more could be effected by his
displays, before the people as from those of any
other living man of the Democratic party
But it is all in vain for even John G. Breckin-
ridge, eloquent as he truly prepossessing
as are his manners-and accomplished as heis
universally admitted to bet is utterly in
vain for even him to attempt to save this sham
Democratic party from demolition. The decree
has gone forth, and it can neither be recalled
nor resisted-th dynasty mast terminate on
the Sd Of March, 1857 We do not doubt
that Mr.. Breckenridge is fully aware of the
fate that awaits the present dynasty, its heirs,

lucky, resigned to that fate.
