BUCHANAN OR FILLMORE IN New YORK-WHICH
Is TO BE ABANDoNED?-It is very evident, from
the singular position Of parties that it has become
a question of some moment among the friends OF
Buchanan and Fillmore in this State, which OF
these two candidates is to be abandoned in the
Presidential contest. The financial leaders of the
two factions are in a state of variance on this
difficulty. The ardent friends Of Buchanan insist
that he is the strongest man, and that Fillmore
should be abandoned, while on the other side of the
fence the devotees Of Fillmore including his tail,
are equally positive that Buchanan should be
left in the lurch, and Fillmore adopted as their
joint candidate.
Whilst the two factions are celebrating this
question amongst themselves, collecting money,
and making fierce personal war on Fremont by
accusing him of all the crimes in the decalogue,
Including that of belief in Catholic Christianity
the rank and file Of both are quietly Withdrawing
from their organizations and are waiting for the
opportunity of voting the Fremont electoral
ticket If the generalization Of the two factions
goes on at this rate this city win give large cleo
toral vote for Fremont, and the State equally So
swelling his majority and plurality to tremen-
dous pitch. On State election and municipal
tickets, however, each man will vote for tina,
candidate who suits him best. Parker for Gov
ernor and Wood for Mayor, seem to be the tickets
most in favor.

SYMPATHY AND SORROW FOR Poor PIERCE AND
Hrs CABTNET.-We understand that the Hon. Ca
leb Cushing has written to ex-senator Westcott,
eTcised in procuring the correction Of a misstate-
ment recently made in this paper, in which we
attributed to the Attorney General the distribu-
ton Of German documents in favor Of Buchanan
This is very well; but Mr.. Gushing might, with
equal propriety, have thanked US for our polite
ness in making the corrections: we would have
received letter from him with the respect due
to his talents, his high position and his unfortu-
nate future prospects In life. We believe that
Mr.. Cushing and also Mr.. Marcy now begin to
see the handwriting on the wall. and to wish
that we had succeeded in demolishing the Cab-
net Of which they are the principal members,
when we tried to 50, now three years gone. Tn
der the iron will and shallow tact Of jefferson
Davis, with accompanying intellect, poor Pres-
dent Pierce has been urged during his Presiden-
cy into policy that has covered the old demo
cratic party with ruin, shame and confusion
Mesrs Cushing Marcy and Guthrie, all three
respectable statesmen OF the modern school
which is poor school enough in its way, have
been hanging to the skirts Of Pierce and have
been driven along by the memorable will Of that
Mephistophiles, JEFF Davis. The other members
of the Cabinet are 80 unimportant that we hardly
remember their names, and we believe they will
be forgotten by history. But what spectacle
does this administration present, on TIE verge of
ruin, by their own folly, ignorance AMI presump-
ton. Not only have they involved themselves
n ruin, but they have also ruined our good old
friend, James Buchanan, and involved in the
same ruin number Of chivalrous, but rather
weakminded individuals in the Souti-such as
Governor Wise, Chevaier Brooks, and others of
that section Of the Union. Jefferson Davis |

The CRISIS At NiPrEs.-Ma,ters are at length
reaching crisis at Naples, and II the rumored
misunderstanding between the English and
French governments does not interpose obstacles
King Bomba will soon be brought to his senses.
The British and French Ambassadors are to leave
Naples in feet consisting Of four line Of battle
ships and al proper accompaniment Of frigates and
coryettes. If the King still proves obstinate,
no doubt the allies will occupy his territory.
1t will thus be seen that the leading Powers Of
Europe make no scruples to deal vigorously with
troublesome nations. There Is no necessity that
appears for Englishmen or Frenchmen going to
Naples at all; and In no way Il the good govern
ment Of that country Of any direct moment to
them. Yet, as we see, the King runs no slight
risk Of having his territory occupied From this
we learn how England and France would &C. II
they were in our position and forced to deal with
New Granada in reference to the Isthmus. There
can be no doubt but il would have been occupied
long since.

The MADNESS OF THE DISUNONISTS-FRE-
MONT TO BE AssAssNATED-We have received
limitations, from respectable sources that during
the last eight or ten days number Of letters
have been received by Col Fremont of very
abusive and threatening character, some warn
ing him that, if elected, he will be assas-
sinated or poisoned; others, that he may
not live to be elected, for that his enemies
are determined he shall never be inaugurated
This policy of assassination or poison has been
practised repeatedly in Russia with success in
changing the head of the government 1t has
been repeatedly attempted in France, but since
the expulsion Of the Bourbons with no success
whatever. A lunatic or two has tried a shot
even at Queen Victoria but at length the vilest
desperadoes all over Europe appear to have
abandoned this policy of the assassin as too
cowardy and dsgraceful to be used even against
the worst of despots. 1t must be admitted, how
thod of disposing Of Fremonts election than the
terrible democratic policy of disunion and civil
war. A knife under the fifth rib of Fremont, a
bullet in his head, or dose Of strychnine admin
istered by some prudent poisoner, would put him
out of the way; but we are not SO certain that
the trouble would end there, and there lies his
safety.
These threatening letters to Fremont must
come either from fools, lunatics or desperate
traitors of the most abandoned class Such are
the eytremities to which the crimes, follies and
imbecilities of this wretched Pierce administra-
ton, and its secession managers, have driven the
deluded followers Of the debauched democracy
The case Of Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina, other
wise polished and amiable gentleman, affords a
powerful illustration of the debasing influence of
these corrupting party associations. The COB
lets of gold and silver, the canes, the banquets
he has received and the various honors that
have been showered upon his head in
approved ofhis brutal assault upon Sumner, have,
doubtless turned the weak heads of many envous
and bloodthirsty democrats, and made them de-
sirous Of similar marks of distinction for similar
party services. What a lion, in this view, would
the assassin or the poisoner of Fremont become
with the chiefs and the chivalry of the democra-
tic party Doubtless, some poor infatuated fool
here and there, with such aspirations for gold
and silver goblets, and banquets and public lion
izing, may aspire to the infamous distinction of
the assassin of Fremont. With Fremont's cleo
ton, however, this sort of glory and this class of
wretches will soon be silenced into repentance,
submission and shame. That shocking leprosy
Of ruffianism, beginning in Washington and Kan
sas, seems to have diffused its poison through
every vein and fibre of the diseased democratic
party, and the people must remove it. Nothing
less will do.
