BLACK LIST!

mas been an otIshoo, from the Northern
Democracy. We shall in few days show
that this is fact. The Van Burens, and
Wilmot, and Grow, and Hale, and Sumner,
aud Ran,oul. and Chase. aud Wade, and
TaPpan, aud Stuart, and Harlan, aud Dur.
Ree, and Trumbull, and Woodbury., and
Harvey Hubbard, and Francis P. Blair, and
host OF others who were recently leading
Democrats, are now the leaders Of the Re-
publican party.
Hitherto the great strength Of the Demo-
cratic party in the North was the foreign
vote. Since The nomination Of Col. Fre-
mont the foreign vote, and particularly that
OF the Germans throughout the Northern
States, has deserted Buchanan and gone over
to Fremont. Out Of about ninety German
papers in,the freesoil States, which former.
~ supported the Democratic party, there
are now forty nine which are earnestly ad.
vocating the election of Fremont.
The detection from The Democratic to the
freesoil party is almost incredible. i, utter
y destroys all hope of Buchanan's ability to
carry single Northern Slate. We have
not room today 10 enumerate all of these
| objections which have come under our no.
lice, but the following will give some idea
OF the wholesale overturning from Buchan.
all 10 Fremont that has taken place. We
may remark that, while these changes from
Democracy to freesoilism have occurred, in
stead OF losing any strength Mr.. Fillmore
has been continually gaining ground in ev-
cry direction. We shall from time to time
continue the list we have begun until we
satisfy the most devoted friends OF Buchan-
an in the South that he has no chance what.
ever to carry single Northern State, and if
Southern men are willing to vote for the
strongest man agains, Col. Fremont they
must vote for Millarl Fillmore. ...

We learn from the New York Evening
Post that the st. Charles Democrat, the ST,
Louis Anzeiger de''Westens, of Missouri, also
support Fremont. The Pi;tsbarg Courier,
the Buffalo Telegraph and the Stats Demo-
crat and the Abend Zietung of New York
city, are in the same category. These things
indicate that, twihsanding Mr.. Buchan-
on was nominated to propiiale Freesoilsm,
the advantages of a straghtout and slavery
ticket are preferred. How ungrateful in
