OPIgloNs OF THE NEUTRAL PAPERs.--The
Pittsburgh Chronicle is an independent jour
nal with strong anti.slavery proclivities. 1t
cannot be accused Of any peculiar sympathy
with the democratic party. In late enumber Of
that paper an able article appeared reviewing
the present position of the political parties
of the country. 1t concludes with the fol-
lowing language!
"In the present state Of things, the cleo
tion OF Mr.. Buchanan seems 20 ascertain.
"In expressing this opinion,we speak from
a point outside o. all party lines or obliga-
tions, with no desire or intention to favor
the interests one party more than another.
We simply give utterance to solemn truth,
which the people will not lear from any
other source than that of the iddependeal
press" Aar
Oy- The other evening, when thtSIerman
Fremonter was holding forth at Masonic
Hall, a person in part OF the hall where 2l
men were close together, suggested that there
be vote taken on the Presidential ques-
ton The vote was taken, and resulted:--
Buchanan, 10; Fremont J.; Fillmore L.
Sixteen Of the 10 who voted for Buchanan
were Germans. That is rather significant.

Hon. James Monroe, nephew OF the Ex-
President. and for several years Wing NJ.
c. from New York, can't go for Fremont,
and is out for Buchanan.
Thaddeus Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, a
prominent Black Republican delegate in the
Philadelphia Convention, arose In his place
and said,
Mr.. Stevens saw what the current OF the
Convention was-he did not rise to resist il
but he admonished delegates to take care
il does not sweep away friends as we'll os
foes. fApplause.l Pennsylvania is EN-
barassed by the withdrawal of the only
name he thought could save The State. He
would like to have time to consult his col
leagues. He would be sorry to see Judge
'McLean's name introduced now, but he was
assured that, without that nurde, Pennsylva'
MIA, would be lost by fifty thousand major
ity. In conclusion, he moved to adjourn
until ten O'Clock tomorrow morning.
We have not the slightest doubt that Mr.
Stevens prediction will be verified.
