1.-THE MAN OF STRAW BASE
FRAI1D

The Washington Union, which is the great
leading organ Of the Buchananites. contained
ar article, in its issue of the 18th inst, headed
"THE MAN OF STRAW" from which We
make the following extract;
"Mr. Fremont never would have been
chosen as the candidate of any respectable
party, BY The people. A few politicians who
aspire to control the government, selected him
for his negative qualities, and under the im-
preston which he has artfuly created that he
has command of boundless wealth. He is a
man Of strap. They are already sick of their
bargain. They can arouse no enthusiasm for
the cause. They have made an egregiOus
blunder in selecting him. The more his
history is sifted, the more worthless his merits
as candidate will appear.
He is, after all, not he candidate Of the
present party of opposition 10 the aaminiStra,
iion, bui simply the candidate Of the Abolition
pdriy The Abolition leaders controlled the
convention which nominated him. The plat
form on which he was nominated is ultra
Abolition, denying The right Of slarsry every
,ohere outside Of The old thirteen States. He
toiH receipe only The Abolition rote-slighhy
augmented by a teW renegade Wings and Free
Soil Democrats He has not the remotest
chance of success. There is hardly proba-
bility that he will carry rs many States as
General Scott. Messrs. Seward, Weed, Gree
ley, Giddings, & Co., will have to try their
hand with somebody else. They will never
get possession Of the government through the
inslrumentaty of John G. Fremont"
Mind, the Washington Union says that
The Washington Union, the great organ of
James Buchanan, says in effect, that Fremont,
the candidate ofthe Free Sellers, Foreigners
and Papists Of the North, has no Strength
Southern men Men of Tennessee what have
Buchanan's friends been telling you here p
Have they not told you, "wth Tears in their
eyes, as big as horse apples" THAT THE
RACE WAS BETWEEN BUCHANAN
AND FREMONT, and that the only ,oay 10

Have they not done this, in every village

HIGHLY DIvERTING.-A few weeks ago,
from the tenor of the democratic press, one
would have supposed that vast minority of
the old.ine wings OF the country had re-
nounced every principle of their creed, and
determined to support the Ostended Man
ifesto, Clay sandering Cincinnati candidate
Within few weeks past there have been
several conventions of these old-iners, and
in no instance have they remotedly limited at
the idea of voting for Buchanan, and ma.
jority of them have declared for Mr.. Fill
more, and now the democratic story runs
that these conventions were packed by the
Know Nothings, and this old line wing pre-.
ference for Fillmore, is not the true senti-
ment of that party. Bah! You but bring
ridicule Oh your cause by such silly expedi-
enls to sustain it.

A Fortunate RALRoAp.-The Charleston
Mercury notices the following remarkable
instance Of exemption from accident:
The main trunk of the South Carolina rail
road, one hundred and thirty.fvo miles in
length has been In operation for twenty
three years, and in all that time not n single
passenger lost his life. On the Columbia
branch which, has been in operation for half
that time, two passengers lost their lives, but
they were not at the time in the passenger
cars. On the Camden branch no passenger
has ever been killed. It is possible, therefore,
even in the United States, TO save innocent
travellers from wholesale murder, without de.
priving railroads Of good dividends. But this
is only an instance of the voluntary caution
and systematic good management Of corpo.

DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR
OF MR.. FILLMORE

The Lexington (Ky,) Observer has the
following:
~ John w. Stevenson, Esq, of Gov.
lngton, who has received the appointment Of
Democratic candidate for Elector for The
State at large, in place of John C. Breckin.
ridge, addressed the people of this city ON
Tuesday evening last. Mr.. Stevenson is n
man of ability, has long occupied n prom.
inent position in the Democratic party of tho
State, and his title to that position. With.
out any of the foolish "ripperies" of the a,d.
CLING orators of the day, he is n bold. manly.
argumentative speaker, who approaches his
subject in direct way, and discusses il with
fairness not often met with from speakers
OF his political persuasion. His speech. un.
answered, is the most dangerous one TO the
American cause tina: we have heard, and we
trust that in his tour of the State. our
friends will see that he is met and respon.
ded to.
Mr.. Stevenson must have made some of
the youthful "orators" of his party feel lit.
tie "cheap," when he came to speak of Mr..
Fillmore in his address the other night. lie
said it was no part of his mission to abuse or
denounce Mr.. Fillmore; that he did not in.
tend to initiate the example of some of the
juvenile brardless speakers who were roam.
ing over the country; he frankly admitted
that MIR. Fillmore was pure patriot that
he met the crisis through which the country
passed during his administration like n man
and lover of his cOuntry;-and that he was
willing to go further and say that, in his
opinion, he would do it again should he be
elected. That although Mr.. Fillmore, raised
ut the North and breathing mn atmosphere not
congenial to Southern rights, had in his ear
Tier years expressed opinions inimical to sla.
very, yet his administration showed that
when called to the Executive chair of the
Nation, he threw off all partisan feeling, dis
carded all sectional views, and showed him
self the friend Of his whole country, the Tn.
ion and Constitution.
Such n concession from such n mana
man who fills the place of Mai Breckenridge
on the Democratic Electoral ticket of the
State-puts an extinguisher upon all the
"scrap book speeches" os the inexperienced
juvenile orators, rs they were termed by Mr..
Stevenson, who are perambnlating the coun-
try, and whose speeches almost entirely con.
sist OF reading old speeches, letters, and
votes of Willard Fillmore, and distcrting
them to suit their purposes. You will have
to 90 10 work, gentlemen and fix up anoth-
er speech. Mr.. Stevenson has tn ken all the
wind out of your sails. When John w.
Stevenson pronounces Willard Fillmore q
true patriot, Union loving patriot, and one
who can be trusted in reference. to all our
rights, the small fry orators will have to "get
out of the way" with their ridiculous efforts

SUMMING UP.,-A contemporary, in referring
to Mr.. Fillmore's triumphal march home
ward, thus sums up in brief what these
events show: lst That Mr.. Fillmore has n
stronger hold upon the popular heart than
any other man in the nation. I'd. That
reasonable men Of all parties concede that
he is just the man for the times. Sd. That the
true Union men of the nation regard him MS
their true lender, and that they are only wait
ing till the 'sign" is right, to rally as one
man around his standard. 4th. That the
"sign is made, and that they are now raj.

The ABoLlTIoEIsTs AGAINST FrLLMoRE.--
The great fact stares us in the face that MOI
solitary Aboluionia supports Willard Fill
more, since the northern Americans sloughed
oG from the national Party and set up for
themselves, under the banner of Fremont
This is a positive, undenable fact, which the
Democracy are endeavoring to ignore and
keep far out of sight of the people. But this
is not all. The most uncompromising oppo-
nents Of the South are equally opposed to Mr..
Fillmore. They do no, denounce Mr.. Buch-
anan with half the virulcnce they mete out to
Mr.. Fillmore.
