that of pure devotion to them. Asst Memphis

or Since the recent glorious result in PeRnsyl-
vsnis, we are encouraged to believe that Mr. Buch-
Ansn will yet carry New York. A great reaction
has been going on in that State for months past.
No State is more interested in successful admin
istrktion OF our government. In addition to this,
Pennsylvania and New York always have stood
side by side, and voted for the same Presidential
candidates. In the two national triumphs of the
opposition they voted together for Harrison and
Taylor. They voted together for Jefferson, Msdi-
son, Jackson, Polk, and Pierce. Pennsylvania goes
for Buchanan in 1856, and New York, we bsieve,
will do the same thing.

WHAT WE HAVE. GAINED IN THE LATE GREAT
STRUGGLE

We have gained ten Members ofCongress, which
gain will 60 tar to neutralizs the Abolition ma
jorty in the House of Representatives, especially
when added to the special gains of our brethren in
Indiana and Ohio.
ave have stricken down the boosters of Abo-
litionism, who were to carry Pennsylvania against
the Democratic party in October by $4,000. We
have elected three upright men and thorough
bred Psnnsyl vania Demo to three important
State offices. With them, we believe we have BE-
cured working majority in the Legislature, thu5
making the election Of Democratic United Sta ties
Senator, for six years, from the Fourth of March
next, to cooperate with the administration oil
James Buchanan, certain.
WE HAVE FULFILLED ALL OUR PROMISES TO TIE
DEMOCRACY OF OTHER STATES
We have arrested the tide of seetionalism These
constitute the trophies of glorious days work
and we oppose them to the line and claims of the
opposition as monuments of Democratic fidelity

We conclude our description of the grind de.
monstration on Tuesday with blief account Of
the magnificent display on Tuesday night. No
such crowd was ever seen in Nashville as filled the
streets on that occasion. The space in front of our

people, and speaking was going on from the arch
and from the steps of our Office.
The torch-lght procession formed on Bros d
street and passed through several of the streats,
and round the square before reaching the arch
As it passed our Office, we caught the description
which we give below.

the Union course. Buchanan, in the first boat,
Constitution, is sailing calamity ahead. The
second boat, called Black Dwarf, contains Fremont
and Dayton busily engaged in bailing out wa

back with Pandora's box on his chest and o man
standing by his side holding dark lantern, and

The next somewhat similar, the carpet bag has
the same inscription. 1t also represents the sol.
der boy of 1913.
The next ladder with the soldier boy on the
top, and Breckenridge following. A few PAGES in
the rear is the wooliy horse mounted by Fremont,
who exclaims "the woolly horse won't do" Be-
hind come two men carrying Pandora's box near
ly broken open, it having received kick from the

The next represents boat sailing up Salt river.
A man forward holding long pole for jack staff

WHAT TIE DEMOCRATS HAVE GANED-Among
the most important gains to the Democratic party
by the results of the late elections 10 Ohio, Penn.
sylvsnia and Indiana, was twenty-five Congress
men in the House of Representatives, and the
State Legislatures of Indians and Pennsylvania,
which give US three United St Senators. The
gains, too, insure Us. forty electoral votes for Mr..
Buchanan in November.

ANOTHER AooEssox.-We have the satisfaction
to announce that Col W r Baskerville. I., of Meek
lenburg, will support Mr.. Buchanan for the Presi-
dency. Col Baskerville has never before voted the
democratic ticket, but like thousands of other ps-
triotie Wings all over the country, he can pursue

THEIR HOPES THE SAME.

The FILLMORE and FREMONT factions both have
the same hope-that enough of the Southern
States may be induced 10 vote for FILLMORE to
throw the election into the House of Representa-
tivss and give them chance to fuse and elect one
or the other President The votes of Pennsyl-
ysnis, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois end California,
now certain for BUCHANAN, amount to 60. These
added to the whole Southern vote, make a total
of 1873. The hope of the black republicans is,
that Maryland, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennes-
see, giving SO votes, may vote for FILLMORE, thus
preventing choice, and throwing the election in
to the House of Representatives. The FILLMORE
and FREMONT men know that their only hope is to
prevent q choice by the people. Every man in
Tennessee who votes for FILLMORE votes positive
by the House of Representatives. No man Of
sense will now say that he thinks Mr.. FILLMORE
can possibly be elected by the people.
This is the state of the facts. A more impor-
tant crisis never arose in this country. There
never was time when the people who love the
Constitution and the Union were as solemnly call
ed upon as now to discard mere party preferences
and go Tor the country.
Remember that in the House, FILLMORE only
has three States. He cannot be made President,
but Fremont may be, if the election goes to the
House. To all intents and purposes, then, vote
for FILLMORE is vote. to give FREMONT chance to
be made President by the House. 1t is this, and
it is this only, IS every well informed man must ad.
NIT
People of Tennessee will you risk this peril,
when you have the entire power to avert it by vo.
ting for BUCHANAN Should FREMONT now be
elected, the responsibility of his election will rest
with the FILLMORE men of Tennessee. 1t is pos
sable for FREMONT to be elected if Tennessee throws
away her vote on FILLMORE. Think of this friends
of FILLMORE, and see what you are working to &C.

vital to the perpetuy Of the Constitution it is that

ADMIRABLE LOGIC!

The know nothings here say that the democrats
in Pennsylvania cannot make another such fight
in November as they made in October-thst they
that the successful party cannot rally and that the
defeated party cant As for resources, if all re-
ports are true, the democrats have won enough
from the abolitionists Oh the October elec:itn to
pay the expenses of half dozen campaigns.

TIE NEW YORK HERALD GIVES UP TIE Confess
AND THE ELECTION OF JAMES BUCHANAN.

The New York Herald, the most ssgacious of
the northern opponents of the democratic party,
admits the probable election of Buchanan. We
copy the following despatch announcing this opin-
ion from the Louisville Journal:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20-The New York Herald
of Sunday says the late result in Pennsylvania, in
connection with the unexpected success ofthe demo-
cracy in Indiana, indicates pretty clearly the cleo
ton of James Buchanan as our next President by
handsome majority of the Electoral Colleges,
against popular majority throughout the country
of several hundred Thousand. Already has this
popular majority been sufficiently wasted and
frittered away by the opposition factions, clques,
and manaoers to instif1 this conclusion
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1856-10-24
THE SURGING OF THE POPULAR TIDE FOR BU
CHANAN-ROW THE VOTE STANDS.

No better estimate can be formed Of the tre-
mendous democratic triumphs in the States which
voted on the 14th of October, than to compare the
returns with the last general elections in those
States in 1854. The figures stand thus
Indiana then l3, 900 against the democrats; now
5000 in their favor. Democratic gain on the pop.
ulsr vote q, 900.
Pennsylvania then 81 900 against the democrats
now 5000 in their favor Democratic gain 43 900,
Ohio then $4,000 against the democrats; now,
say 10000. Democratic gain $4,000.
Thus-n the three States-the democrats have
gained on the popular vote, in two years, $4,000
votssi The like of this tremendous popular revo.
luton was never before seen in this country.

A WORD IN KINDNESS.

If our know nothing friends will stop to think q
moment they will observe that they have been de-
ceived by their papers in regard to the results of
the elections in October and the relative strength
of Buchanan and fusion. We tell them, in all
kindness, that Buchanan is absolutely certain to be
elected President by the people and if they trust
any different representations they will be worse
fooled than they have been about the October
elections. We beg them, as friends, not to risk
their hopes or their money on what the know moth
ing papers tell them of the possibility of beating
Buchanan, It's Qdn1non.

despairing black republican, they 'csnt be worst
ed"
The following resolutions passed the Fillmore
Executive State Committee of Pennsylvania in
session at Philadelphia yesterday 20 to2:
Resolued, That we deem it inexpedent to make
any alteration in the Fillmore and Donelson ticket
in this State, and we are firmly convinced that any
interference with 1t would be the means of giving
the State to Mr.. Buchanan, instead of defeating
him.
Resolved, That we decline to accept either of the
propositions of the North American State Central
Committee satisfied that the Electoral ticket al
ready in the field is the only one on which all op-
posed to Mr.. Buchanan can successfully unite, and
pledge it to incorporating opposition, and to the
defeat under any and all circumstances, of his cleo
tion."
As nothing has heen accomplished by fusion
they have now concluded to unf4Ss. They have
been dsbbling in the filth Of black republcanism,
