PHILADELPHIA, Oct. II

prominent member of the American par.
ty, from New York city, furnishes us with
the following information:
The following resolutions passed the Fill
more and Donelson Executive State Commit.
tee to-day, by majority of 20 in the Com
mite of %:
"ReSolued, That we deem it inexpedient to
make any alteration in the Fillmore and Don.
elson ticket in this State, and we are firm,
ly convinced that any interference with it
would be the means of giving the State to
Mr.. Buchanan, instead of defeating him.
'.Resolved, That we decline to accept either
of the propositions of the North American
State Central Committee satisfied that the
Electoral Ticket already in the field is the
only one on which all opposed to Mr.. Buchan-
an can successfully unite, and pledge it to
the uncompromising opposition to the defeat,
under any and all circumstances, of his elec.
tion."
This action renders any further union of
the Fremont and Fillmore parties in Penn.
sylvania impossible. The original Fillmore
Electoral Ticket will be run.

FILLMORE IN VRclNA-A Richmond
correspondent of the New Orleas Delta, a
Sag-Ncht, of course, thus writes.
"Experience might be supposed to have
taught the Know Nothings the utter folly of
any attempt to carry the Old Dominion; but
it seems not, for they are now engaged in
the fight with ms much zeal and energy as
if this was the first experiment. Though de
feated in hundred battles, they rally to the
contest again with an energy and a spirit
which success in so many conflicts could be
supposed to inspire. Their newspapers,
their orators, and in fact every member of
the party, speak with as much confidence as
they were accustomed to do during the late
gubernational canvass when the great pres.
tige of "Sam" was unimpaired and the mo-
raj influence of his previous triumphs poten'
tial."

"BIRDs OF A FEATHER Flock TOGETHER
The truth of the above adage has been
singulary proven by the report from New
Hampshire, that ex-Gov. Hubbard, the only
surviving member of the famous Hartford
Conventions, is stumping that State for james
Platform Buchanan. The Hartford Conven.
ton was Federal Assembly, Gov. Hubbard
blue light Federaist, and James Buchanan
an old Federalist also; and of course they will
support each other, if for no other reason
than early associations and the glory of the

THE ELECTION IN BALTIMORE.

No political event, for several years past,
possesses the same significance as the recent
Fillmore triumph in Baltimore. 1t has been
difficult to decide, in every preceding Presi.
Dental election, how the State of Maryland
would vote. About no State in the Union
has there been so much of doubt and uncer-
tainty. And, what is most remarkable of all,
the elections in the city of Baltimore have
always decided the political complexion of the
State. With unerring certainty Maryland
has zone as Baltimore has. The recent un-
paralleled Fillmore triumph in that city de-
termines, beyond all cavil, the complexion of
the State. If any doubt has heretofore exist.
ed as to the vote of Maryland in the Prosi-
dental election, it is at once dssipated by the
signal and complete triumph which the last
few days have recorded in our favor.
But the election in Baltimore will convey
to the people of the South far more instruc-
tive lesson than the usual consequences of a
party triumph. There was no State in the
Union in which so many adverse circum-
stances conspired to defeat the Fillmore
ticket. Both of the Senators of Maryland
had allied themselves with their traditional
enemy. Both of them had, in the most public
manner, thrown the weight of their political
and personal influence into the scale of our
opponents. The Democracy, flushed with the
confidence inspired by their recent accessions,
and assured of an easy victory, made no secret
of their boasts that they would sound the
death.knell of Mr.. Fillmore in the State
What has been the result' We have met
them in their stronghold. We have over.
come majority of twenty seven hundred in
1854, and converted it into n majority OF more
than fifteen hundred on our side. We have
carried, by decisive majority, the very out
post of the Southern guard-and we have
only to follow up, with simiar energy, the
patriotic exertons of our friends in Baltimore,
to sweep the South without check, and to
put the opposition into utter, disastrous and
irretrievable rout.
Such is the result of the election in Balti.
more. Such is the effect of the first gun from
the South since the campaign has fairly
opened. 1t conveys this impressive moral
that the people of the South, convinced of
the utter hopelessness of defeating Fremont
except under the national standard Of Millard
Fillmore, have at last discarded all the con.
ventional usages and shackles oe party, and
determined to stand by the Union candidate
as long as the Union is considered worthy of
preservation. This, we feel an abiding con.
fdence, will be their determination in the
other States of the Southland we shall once
more behold the reign of conservatism and
order established under the benign influence
of the glorious and patriotic administration of
n man whom the times demand, and who has
proved himself emphaticaly the man for the
times

He is satisfied now that Buchanan is the

is opposed to a restoration of the Missouri

looking lady was heard to excum, that if it
would secure tho election Of Mr.. Fillmore

SOUTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoNs.-The State
elections in South Carolina were held on the
18th and l4th inst. In the Charleston Con.
gressional District, Hon. VIM. Poreher Miles
has been elected to succeed MIR. Aiken. MIR.
Miles was the candidate of the party sup.
porting Judge Magrath, and is, we believe,
opposed to any separate State action by
South Carolina tending to dissolution of
the Union for any cause now existing, or for
any grievance in which the South as unit
will not sympathyse with her. He beat
Gen. Gadsden, late Minister to Mexico, and
Col. John Cunningham. We ar glad to
hear of his election. Messrs. Boyce and
Keitt have been reelected to Congress with.
out opposition.

New YoRK.-From information we have
received through various channels, there is,
we should say, no doubt that the State of
New York will vote for Fillmore by plu-
raity ranging from twenty to fifty thousand
New York is the keynote of the Union. Her
position for Fillmore gives assurance of his
strength in the other States The Democracy,
(or at least those who are conservative in
their views) of that State, seeing that Buch.
anan has no strength there, will vote for
Fillmore in order to secure the State against
Fremont. If it be true, as is often said, "as
goes New York, so goes the Un on" then the
Union goes for Fillmore. Vote for Fillmore

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, OCT. 81, 1856.


H- Americans of Tennessee, let not the
reioicings Of the Buchanan Democracy, over
the result of the elections in Pennsylvania,
disturb your equanimity. True, that the re-
suit appears to have been effected by the
most stupendous frauds upon the ballot box,
but let it only nerve you to frmer and in
vincible determination to exert every proper
influence to overthrow party which resorts
to such means to achieve success. Here, in
Tennessee, you can conquer. You have this
day the State in your possession, by de-
cided majority. Keep possession of it, and
whatever may be the fate OF your comrades
elsewhere, you will have nothing with which
to reproach yourselves. Stand fast! Vote
for Fillmore and save the Union!

out and put in box and placed beside his
coffin, which he has had over ten years. He
was then filled with salt and sewed up with

FIVE THOUSAND MURDERS COMMITTED IN
CALIFORNIA IN SIX YEARs.-A San Francis
co paper gives the following Information,
derived from pamphlet just published in
that city:
Taken portion Of the notices of murders
that have been published since 1862, and tho
other evidences that we have on record pre-
vious to that time, and since, it will be seen
that tho number Of those who have met IN
untimely end by murder is truly appalling
The District Attorney of San Francisco, in
1852, stated in public speech that for the
previous four years twelve hundred murders
had been committed in the city of San Fran
cisco. Any one conversant with the history
of the "Great Pacific Emporium" since that
time, will readily agree that crime has not
diminished with the increase of population.
IL was stated on or near the close of the
year 1855, by the public press, that for the
year just passed five hundred murders had
been brought to their notice. The compiler
of this work feels perfectly safe in saying
that not less than five thousand murders have
been committed in California within the last
six years. ! will also here mention, that
from the examination Of the old files of daily
papers, il appears that the accidental deaths
nave not been less in number than those by
murder for the same time.
