The Placer herald., 1856-09-20

Texas. whose people never before repudiated
Sam. Houston now break from his influence and
declare for Buchanan.
In Alabama. our majorties, says the New York
Tribune, have been 'fearfully steady" and the
Buchanan men have carried the State by over ten
thousand majority.
North Carolina. steady old Whig State, keeps
step with Alabama, and rolls up ten thousand
majority.
The fight in these States has been between the
Fillmore and Buchanan men. Wherever the
Democrats have met them in open field. they have
put them to route. horse, foot. and dragoon. Let
no man be deceived by the shuf1ing excuses that
will be made in accounting for these results, by
American newspapers and speakers.
The truth is palpable--if they could not carry
Kentucky, there is no chance for Fillmore in a
Southern State. and no Dragging and clustering
can change this fiat of the people.
We must now look to the free States as the last
death struggle. Already the plague spot of Black
Repubicansm has overspread Iowa, but the Fri
Observer, a paper well posted i'll the premises
says that the electoral vote of this State will
tainly be cast for Buchanan and Breckenridge for
the reason that the Fillmore and Fremont men
have united to elect the State and Congressional
ticket. which will not be the case in November.
A terrific onset will be made by the enemies of
the Union, to carry Pennsylvania. Not stone
will be left unturned. But our friends will take
new heart and as the notes of victory come up
bama and North Carolina, will rush to the fight
with renewed zeal. Throughout the Eastern and
middle States, influential leading men who have
heretofore warred against the Democracy, when
the contest was not of sectional nature, are de-
clarng for Buchanan as the only hope in these
disturbed times. Can any conservative man Ion
ger hesitate? The battle is between Fremont and
Buchanan. Elect Fremont and the dun cloud of
civil war, which now hovers over the blood stain
ed fields of Kansas, will in all human probability
over spread the land 1t is possible in the nature
of things that the vote of California may turn the
scale. and that the vote of Placer county may
decide that of the State; therefore let no man
longer hesitate in indecsion but come out and
add his strength to the good cause.
The great heart of the people has been stirred
to its depths, and yelling up, gushing over, swell
ling into torrent come the rivers of life to our
glorious confederacy.
The roar of the torrent has drowned the Yell
of bigotry in Arkansas. swept through Alabama.
North Carolina Texas, Missouri and bursting all
former barriers has inundated Kentucky.
Look forth brave heart and see the bow of hope,
arched above and incosing the sisterhood of Re-
publcs.
Hear! to the music of the thirtyone States. as
the notes swell into hymn to 'berty and the
Union one and inseparable;" and as the clouds of
fanatcsm and bgotry are discipated before the
sheen, mark how their rays concentrate upon the
Constitution as the chart of the ship of State.
In majOrfties of tens of thousands the people
declare for James Buchanan as their tried, ntelli-
gent and faithful mariner. to take the helm and
guide the storm-driven craft through the heaving
seas.
