Something for Fillmore men to think about.
The OldeLine Democrats have been much
discouraged by the result of the recent cleo
ton in Maine Iowa, Vermont and Maine, have
gone largely against them. Defeatin Vermont
did not much surprise them, but defeat in
Democratic Iowa, and last and worst of all,
defeat in Maine, where such a result was scarce
ly regarded as possibility-has overwhelmed
the Buchanan party with confusion, and dis
heartened them to a serious degree, especially
in the South To such an extent does this
reverson affect them in the South, that but
little more is required to make an end Of Blu
chanan there. We believe that 'little" will
be found in the defeat of the Old Line State
ticket at the October election in Indiana The
Democracy themselves appear to think this
When before was this State ever visited on
electiOneerng pilgrimages, by candidate for
Vice President, by Gen. Cass and Senator
Douglas? Breckenridge, Cass and Douglas
have all been in our State making public
speeches. More than this, there is beyond
by the Buchananites, freely and fully, to carry
the State Ticket headed by Willard. Never
before has there been one-half the outside in
fuence brought to bear to control the result of
State election IN Indiana. Does not this be-
token the stupendous importance Of this re-
suit to the Democratic party?
Before us is a private letter from distin-
guished Fillmore Kentuckian. He says, if
the defeat Of the Democratic party in Indiana
by decisive majority, in the State election,
follows their defeat in Iowa, Vermont and
Maine, there is an end of the Buchanan party
South. There is truth in this, and none know
| it better than the three distinguished Demo-
Gratis who have SO recently been on an election
eerig tour in this State. They have not been
at this trouble and at this particular time, in
the mere object Of securing Buchanan votes,
or with an eye to the Presidential electionin
this State-but they are seeking to control
our State election fer State officers. They are
laboring to assist the Old Line Demoeray here
in desperate effort to elect Willard If they
do this, the disheartening effect of the recent
elections will be in great manner destroyed.
The Buchanan men South will brighten up,
and no longer think of looking to Fillmore for
success. But let Morton be elected by de-
cisive majority, and stampede will commence
in the Democratic party which will augment
the Fillmore party by regiments and brigades
of Buchanan votes. They have already given
up Ohio. Let Us compel them to give up
Indiana. We trust Fillmore men will reflect
upon this view which we have presented them,
and that not man in the State opposed in his
heart to the Old Line Democratic party, will
refuse to vote for the Peoples State Ticket.
Let them not only Uots for this ticket, but earn
estly labor for it till the day of election. 1t
will not do for US to be idle, when the enemy
lis using the most formidable means to secure
success. In no other manner can ace so aid the
Fillmore cause. bath in The State and over the
