FILLMORE and Buchanan.

triot and Joarnal Fillmore's special organ
1t contains twenty-eight articles directed at
the Republicans, ' hile not half dozen are
devoted to the Democratic party. The Re-
publlcans are called a sectional party, black
republicans, woolly horses, &c. There is a
mixture of that bitterness throughout which
characterizes an ambitious, treacherous, and
wofuly defeated aspirant. To such an extent
this feeling allowed to go unbridled, that ev-
cry column, and almost every line, stands out
bold, open, and undeniable confession of
discovered and defeated guilt The only
crumbs of comfort afforded this organ, are of
a tropical character, being like tainted meat in
the nostrils of Independent freemen. The
rise of Fillmore stock in Tennessee, Mississip-
pi, Virginia, and North Caroliua, is a source
OF momentary satifacton 10 its editor but
like drop of sparkling water upon the parch-
ed tongue of a pandemonium spirit il only
excites the thirst and increases the rawlings.
He says the wrongs in Kansas are kept up
by the Republicans, calls the free state as
sembly bogus legislature, exults over its
dispersion by U. s. troops, says the passage
Of the free state bill by the lower house of
congress was all farce, intimates that the
Senate pro-slayery bill should be adopted
and in fact goes the entire Pierce figure on
the issues Of the day.
We see no difference between Fillmore's
organ and the platform OF the Cincinnati con.
vention A great strife is therefore going on
between the friends and expectanls of Bu-
chanan and Fillmore at to which of the two
would be most available. In the South, il is
claimed that Fillmore is tried an true, and
herein they have an advantage over the Bu-
chananiLes While Southerners would prefer
Fillmore, and would unite upon him without
regard to former political associations, North
ern democrats still adhere to the sinking car
cass Of their once powerful patty. and will
not be sold to a treacGeruus opponent As
/ Filmore's strength in the North is perfect
/ personfcaiion of weakness, without the hope
Of making a respectable show towards carry
ing a single free state, and lnasmuch as some
enthusiasts imagine that Buchanan and slave
ry can carry Pennsylvania, the probabilities
are that Fillmore will cnly be kept on the
track to catch the votes Of those who imagine
that the Union is in great danger-and while
blindlolded by his delusion, are being black,
ed and sold to the slave power.
Yet, with all Ibis manocuyering, and com
bination, the advocates of slavery extension
have no well founded hope OF success. No
candid opposition pint, from either wing,
claims the ability to carry any of the free
states except Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
California. Should Pennsylvania be lost, and
the other two carried, Fremont will have Just
l49 electoral votes, being barely enough 10
secure his election. With Pennsylvania for
! Fremont, the other two can be spared, and a
few more Of the same sort, if necessary
Even by giving to the opposition the adyan-
tage Of their own figuring they have barely
one chance out Of three. But the Republi-
cans are unwilling to concede that either of
the states above cited will go for slavery, and
we see no reason why they should do so. 1t
is true, Buchanan is a citizen of Pennsylvania
and she may have some pride in the matter, but
| lis political course has b,en such as to create
a coldness between him and bis own party
leaders, and to this add The Cincinnati plat
form, and you have wet blanket upon
wet blanket, until the Democracy of the en-
tire Union are in a perfect sweat, and border
ruffianism reads its impending doom.
Fillmore and Buchanan, this strangely we'd
ded pair,
Wishing each other not divorced, but dead,
possess not the elements of success. Their
past history is a reco'd Of all kinds Of circu-
itous routes to Office; and if the front door
is closed against them, they have ever been
ready to tip a fine hat ard walk in by the
back door, Any Io4d dat would take them
into office is good road, in their estimation
Fortunately fer the people, they have lost the
road this time, and are going entirely too far
south 10 land in the White House.
