We received, a short time since, a
letter from friend on Il visit to the
north. dated Portsmouth. Hamp-
shire, August, Is, 1855, who says
that the struggle in the northern
States, as FAR as be is cap ible ofjudg-

Fremont. He says the friends Of
Fremont are moving Heaven and
earth, TO give the entire north to
that disreputable renegade. Even
the ladies are holding Jessie meet

and are frequently found upon the
streets with black republican mot

things he periodically concludes
that although be is wing, and has
ever fought the democratic party,
and has often said that be could not
vote for democratic candidate for

to give his support to Buchanan and
Breckenridge, as the only hope of

Mr.. Fillmore at the North.

The Fishkill Standard, one Of
the most influential papers support
ing Mr.. Fillmore in the State Of
New York, thus represents Mr.. Fill
more and his party to its readers,
We ask Southern men to read and
say whether the safety Of the South
ought to be conided to such party
at this crisis:
at has been charged upon the
former (meaning the American plat
form) that it is pro-slavery, and Mr..
Fillmore has been denounced by the
inscriptions as strongly southern in
his preferences. If any thing like
this can be found in the platform
which he has adopted,we confess that,
we have been unable to discover it,
while we have unhesitatingly avowed
our sentiments as decidedly opposed
to the extension of slavery over a
foot of territory. Nor will We sup
port by our vote or influence any
candidate whatever who may be prop
erly regarded as inclined to faror
such extension.

Not all Abolitionists.

a correspondent Of the Lynch
burg Virgiuian, writing from New
York, protests against the impress
ion which he thinks prevails in Vir-
GINA, thai. all the people of tho
North are abolitionists. He says:
I'VE are not aboliiionists, but 90

Union and nothing but the Union.
This is fact which next November
will prove; and after November let no
VirginIan say We are all abolition
lists"
|. We have never doubted that there
we're many citizens of Northern
States who held conservative views
and entertained just ideas of the
rights Of the South under the Con-
stitution. The earnest support
which is given to the national can
didate for the Presidency in oppo-
sition to the wild fanaticism which
has rallied so strong a force around
the Black Republican sectional can
didate, affords strong evidence that
the elements of conservatism are
still predominant there. But while
We trust aud believe this is the case,
there Can be no denia. of the fact
that a1ti-slayery fanaticism has pro-
gressed till it has reached an almost
alarming degree. Certainly, the
Northern people are not all abolition
lists, but ii something is not done to
check the progress Of the faetionists,
it will not be very long before they will
have gained the ascendaney. 1t has

Fillmore Men Of the North going
over TO Fremont.

The Black Republicans recently
held Convention in New Jersey to
nominate Fremont Electoral Ticket
and what is most remarkable in
the proceedings is, that the Hon.
Epbraim Marshall, who was President
Of the National American Conyen.
ton that nominated Fillmore and
Donelson, presided. And French
Evans. the author of the Philadel-
phia Platform, on which Mr.. Fillmore
was nominated, and warm advocate
Of Mr.. F fillmore, has announced his
purpose Of taking the stump in Penn
sylyania iu favor of Fremont. Thus
it is that Fillmore's friends are daily
deserving him at the North. Of

selves accordingly.

Buchanan and Breckenridge.
James G.. JoaeS in The Field.

The old line wings and friends of
Ex-Goy. Jones gave him grand
dinner, near Memphis, one day last
week. The Governor gave them a
speech on the occasion, which is. said
TO have been one ofirresistable power
and eloquence. 1t was mostly con-
fiued to the defence Of the principles
in the Kansas bill-and showing that
an adherence to those principles was
the only safeguard to the south
The speech, the Bulletin represents,
rs unanswerable. One or two know
nothings took it upon themselves to
dissent from the views held forth by
the Governor, and they got more
than they bargained for. He met
them with his usual tact, and held
them up before the crowd in ridic.
ulous attitude. Gov. Jones, like
many others Of his old line whig
compeers in the Senate, has come out
for Buchanan and Breckenridge, and
intends to canvass the State. There
are thousands of old line wings 10
East and Middle Tennessee who will
hail his coming, and throng to meet
him as in days of yore. The Bnlle-
tin says:
We have rarely listened to more
triumphant vindication than Gov
Jones made of the Kansas Nebraska
act. He showed conclusively that
it was, Gin principle and in substance

WILD CAT BANK.

We have frequently adverted, says
the Memphis Lamp Post, to the Ag-
ricultural Bank at Brownsville, Tenn,
and cautioned orr readers against it.
Some have been induced to question
the propriety Of our course.
We refer all such, as well as the
public generally, to the following ex-
tract from the Louisville Reporter
"In reference to the Bank in ques-
ton agricultural Bank of Tennessee)
we would refer our correspondent and
others to our statements published in
the Detector and in the Reporter, di.
rectly after our return from Nashville
last spring. We stated then that its
issues were not received, either by
the Banks or the people of Nashville,
but that few Of the brokers bought
them at tmenty per- cent. discount
1t was at that time, and SO far as we
know, has ever since been denomina-
ted, a wild Cat,' by the people and
bankers of Nashville, and all other
portions of the State except perhaps
about Brownsville; and even there, We
are told, it does not enjoy the most
enviable reputstion Now for the
Ipoint--Query: If the people Of the
State in which any Bank is located,
refuse to receive its notes in the or.
binary business transactions, as well
as most, if not all the Banks, and a
few brokers buy them at twenty pei
cent, are We not justifable in denoun-
cling such a Bank as wild Cat, and
buying its notes at forty per cent, OF
any other price that may be agreed
upon?
"Please reply--anybody."
Our reply is, that in view of the
danger that the Bank may break be-
fore you get there, and in view o
the many tricks that have been prac
ticed upon Southern communities, al
would do we'll to refuse these bills en-
ltirely.

That Intense American Feeling.

We. have heard of that intense
American feeling which the leaders
of the "Sam" party would have cult
waited in every Americans bosom,
bnt have failed to see it exhibited
until recently. 1t was reserved for
a meeting in Philadelphia to place
upon record a bright and shining ex-
ample of real "ardent" American
feeling. The circumstances are these:
The Hon. LEWIS c. LEVIN, who was
elected to Congress from the city OF
Philadelphia in 1914, on the Native
American ticket, and who may be
styled the father of the American
movement, die not like the fusion
movement of the Fillmore and Ere
mont men on the Black Republican
State ticket. AS Fillmore man,
he wanted a distinct and separate
Fillmore State ticket. A large con-
course assembled and instead Of lis.
tenirg to Mr.. Levin, they common
ced, by giving three groans for Levin,
three cheers for Fremont and Kansas.
and finally run Levin out of the Hall
and broke up in row--not however,
until they had passed resolutions en-
dorsing the fusion with Black Repub-
licanism. The action of this meet
ing presents a moral for Southern
men to consider well.
