had wheeled all the way from Newburyport,

i'be Battle, November A, 1853,

"Tfe naturalized citizen has but seeen-
diary right to vote. When the two rights
come in conflict, it is for Americans to prove
which is tie better man. Cast the chances
of street fight, &c, against your adverse
ry, and il there be votes kept out, let them
net be your votes. The casualties of day
Of battle often determine the fate of the bat

Speech.
The political morality imbodied in the
above sentiments has had fitting denoue-
a'ent. We congratulate Winter Davis upon
the success of his doctrines, and hope that
he and his party find Sufficient recompense
in that success for the black cloak of In
fanny with which it has covered the name
of Baltimore city. The casualties of the
day of battle on Tuesday, as well as in Oc-
tober last, most truly determined the fate of
the battle.
Irue ito 9oice OF the people, speaking Its
majority TIL oagh the ballot-box, is not
casualty, and the above views can hardly be
considered consistent with equity, the bill
ofrights, OF the organic law but what mat
ters law, constitution, or right so they sue

the world forms itsjudgment. They would

heaven that we escaped the calamity Of mob
law here. The majority of seven thousand
in Baltimore is as vile fraud as ever was
imposed upon free country. Byany prin-
ciple Of justice the vote should not be
counted. Nobody believes that Fillmore
has any such majority in the City of Balti-
more.
The democratic party petitioned the Mayor
OF Baltimore for peace, and proposed meas
.ures for peace. He placed himself upon
his dignity, aud assured them he had made
ample preparations for the peace lie has
cut figure at it, and will be held by the
public to just accountability for the blood
shed on the day Of election. No excuse
or apology will serve his turn. He has
suffered Baltimore to be disgraced, and pop
ular suffrage to be trampled under foot, and
sacrificed the lives of the people Baltimore
by his negligence or corruption.
We do not know whether there is any
way to roctify such a deep wrong done the
country, but respect for the character of the
country forbids that the vote Of such a city
should be counted amongst the unterrifea
and unbought suflrages of free people. -
We have ne doubt when we hear the-oorrect
news from New Orleans, we shall find the
deeds Of Baltimore repeated in that city,
The supporters OF Fillmore have oosuch ma
jority as reported in New Orleans. The
elections in those cities are frauds upon
their face; the whole country know that
they ate frauds. They stand ont sclf-oop-

Whole vote in the county-3403
THE POPULAR VOTE.

From present indications Mr.. Buchanan
will receive nearly majority of the whole
popular vote of the country, which, with
three prominent candidates in the field, is a
great triumph. ..4
In 1913, Gen. Taylor lacked 1852, 93l. of
clear majority over both his competitors,
exclusive of the vote of South Carolina.-
We think that Mr. Buchanan's minority
cannot be so great as that. One the other
hand, Fremont, if the votes for the, fusion
ticket, headed by his name in Pennsylvania,
only are counted for him, will be in 3 mi
nority as against the united vote of. Buch-
anan and Fillmore, even in the non slave
holding States Indeed, his votes il these
will not much exceed that cast for Buchan-
an, and as he receives no votes in the slave
holding States, he is in G minority IN the
Union of from $50, 600 to | ,O00 600 Yetes.
Fremont has clear majority only. in New
England, and probably Wisconsin & Iowa.
In New York and Pefasylvania, each, he
is in, minority oe100, 600 votes. He car
ries Ohio by a minority vote, and Illinois,
we presume, if carried by him at all, is car
rled IN the same manner. On the contrary.

carries by a majority over all his COMPETE

The American V0ft in the State OF New
York,

:. The Know Nothing party must have been
most awfully sold by its own members on
Tuesday, or else, by pre-arranged move
ment, they voted for the Buchanan ticket.
They had the very great advantage over the
other two parties of perfect organization,
and a registry of every regular member Of
their Order. They knew tie exact number
of their men, every soul of whom had taken
a solemn oath to vote for name bp. members
of the Order, and to vote for the nominee
of the party. There were certain number
of Councils paying to the State Council
stipulated sum for each member, so that
there could be no false returns, and the
Know Nothings went into the contest cock
sure of at least a hundred and seventy thou
sand votes, to which were to be added the
Straight Wing votes, which were not nume-
rous, but were expected 10 swell mp the Fill
more and Brooks ticket to at least two hum
dred thousand, But treachery seems 10 be
inherent in the very nature Of Know Moth
inglsm ); the memhers Of that party evidently
take a secret pleasure IN Disappointing the
expectations of their fellow members and
leaders, and taking Il oath Of fidelity en-
genders an irresistible desire 10 violate it.
The actual Fillmoresvote in this State will
not much exceed 10, 600, if it even should
reach that figure, so that it is very certain
that at least third of the members of the
party proved traitors and voted the Buch
anan ticket The American party will ne
yer again enjoy such favorable opportuni-
ties for obtaining possession of the State and
General Government as it did in the, late
election, and its utter defeat now viii give
it staggering blow from which it can never
