. MORE TALK THAN CIDER"-After all the stir
and excitement here at the North about Sharp,s
rifles, after all the talk and public meetings, it
seems that when the hour Of trial came little or
nothing had been done to supply Lawrence with
arms and soldiers. There is altogether too much
talk and barney here at the North and too little
action Men with an unlimited gift of CAB are
never worth much in an emergency. The sole eff.
feet of that notorious New Haven meeting was to
embitter the rufiians and hasten on the doom of
Lawrence, while it furnished substantial assist.

The whigs for FILLMORE.

The Richmond Wing says :--"Tn all
portions of the Union the glorious and
patriotic old line Wings are falling into
line beautifully, and rallying with in
domitable zeal and energy around the
standard Of WILLARD FILLMORE. We
rejoice that such is the fact. We new
or had doubt, however, that every
Wing in the Union, except such as
want to change their party relations
for the sake of office, would cordially
and earnestly support the man who has
heretofore, in the language of the i'm.
mortal Clay, conducted the administra-
tion Of the government with signal
ability and success"

COMMON SENSE.

Suppose u vessel to DO at sea in a
tempest which threatens to wreck the
whole concern, and destroy the lives
of the crew. Suppose that three per-
sons were offered to guide tho ship in
safety, one of whom insisted upon run
ming her due North, and another u
South course-the third, an experien-
ced pilot, who had before saved the ship
and crew under similar circumstances,
what course would common sense and
the personal security of those on board
require to be pursued? Unquestiona-
bly, to discard the sectional and inexpe.
rienced persons, and to give the COM
mandto the experienced pilot, in whom
all hands can confdc. Now, what
would be done upon such an emergcn-
cy on ship board, or done with respect
to the ship of State. Three pilots are
offered to take control of her. The
one supported by the portion of the
crew which came from the North-an-
other by the Southern part of the crew.
These two sections of men are known
10 DC nOStlle TO each other.
But there is third part of the crew
who say ''away with all your sectional
differences, we desire to save the ship
and all on board; and we here present
man as commander who has before
had the helm and guided us in safety.
You will admit that he is true and trust
worthy, and thathe can be safely trus-
ted. Why not, then, give him the gui-
dance of the ship, that we may all be
saved?" Suppose that the Northern
part Of the crew should reply, that our
object is not the safety of the ship, but
we desire to beat down those from the
Southland that similar response
were made by those from the South a.
gainst their brother seamen from the
North-would not they all be thought
to act as madmen2
This is precisely the case in the pre-
sent contest for the Presidency. The
Northern candidate seeks to rule upon
Northern, and the Southern candidate
upon Southern principles. Neither is
looking to the safety of the Union, in
which all have tho deepest interest,"
But third candidate is offered, who
refuses to recognize these disputed
points between the North and South
but promises to consult the safety of
tho whole. What should prudent,
common sense people do in this case?
Why, take the man who goes for tho
general, and not the sectional interest.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION,

AS the official returns come in from
Pennsylvania, the Locofoco majority
comes down "small by degrees and
beautifully less" and it now hardly
reaches 5000, and four counties to hear
from officially. This falls a cypher be-
low 10000 don't it? And yet there
were many Locofocos o few days ago,
who pretended to want to bet that they
would have q majority Of 80, 900 in this
State. We must take into this count
$4,000 illegal votes pollcd and the thing
looks exceedingly small.

Another letter from Sanford Har.
rfSOn.

We published some weeks since a let
ter from Sanford Harrison, of New
York, an old Democrat, recommending
the Democrats to support Mr.. Fillmore.
We give another letter from the same
gentleman:
TO the National Democrats of New
York and the Union.
1t will be remembered that in COM
munication l addressed to you some
six weeks ago, urged you to concen-
trate your strength in the State of New
York upon Willard Fillmore, as the
only way the defeat of the Sectionalist
John @. Fremont, could be compassed.
lam constant reader of many South
ern journals, and the song of the whole
of them has been, eff Fillmore was out
of the way, Buchanan's election was
certain" Such have never believed
to be the case, and the result of the G.
lection in the State of Maine abund-
antly demonstrates the fact. Fillmore
was not Gin the way" there certainly,
and we are beaten by 10000 MAORI
ty! The question, and the only ques-
ton that now presents itself to our
minds, is, whether we will stand by our
party, and "let the Union slide" or
whether we will 60 for the Union, and
give up our attachment to "party." In
tho communication before alluded to, I
frankly told you that / preferred the
Union to my party, and should vote ac-
cordingly.
l have seen nothing elm the signs of
the times" lately to change that deter
mination; on the contrary, it has mate
rally been strengthened. Ihave rea-
son to know that the view take and
have taken of this contest, meets with
the appreciation of many of the most
prominent men in our ranks, but who
for obvious reasons will not publicly a.
VOW it. You cannot expect leaders,
seekers after place at your hands, to
come out openly and tell you the whole
truth, however, apparent it may be to
them. You must look to the crank &
file" if you desire to be honestly en-
lightened. A journey of three week $
duration through this State, satisfies
me that, away from post offices and
custom-houses, Mr.. Buchanan has lit
orally no supporters at all-that the
once glorious Democratic party is COM
pletely annihilated; and that if we mean
to stem the tide of sectionalism, We
must vote for the only man who has the
chance of success here, and that man is
Willard Fillmore. .........

VIRGINIA MovING.-A gentleman
of high intelligence, writing from
Wytheville Va. under date LIST Octo-
Der, says:
81 have met with persons from many
counties here, and all say the Amcri-
cans will make large increase over
the gubernatorial vote in 1856. Rus
sci gave a large majority for Wise TO-
YER 4OO will now go for Fillmore. Pat
rick county gave majority for Wise
of 226 and now the Democrats in the
county concede it will give about 200
majority for Fillmore: our friends claim
300. We could easily carry Virginia,
if our friends could only think so. They
are beginning to work.
1t only requires one 1.-THE of the ex-
ertion by our friends in Virginia to
carry that State, which the sham Dem
ocrats are making to carry Pennsylva-
MIA. We are glad they are "beginning
to work" Wake up, sons of the odd

original Washington Administration,
now give it another 'Washington-like'

THH OLD GAME OF 1874 RE-
vIvED IN PHNNsYLvAN1A.j

1t will be remembered by many Of
our readers, that in 1874 Mr.. Buch-
anan exerted himself to carry Pennsyl-
vania for Polk, declaring him to be a
"hetter tariff man than Henry Clay"
andAis party friends inscribed on their
banners, "Polk, Dallas, Teas and the
tariff Of 1912" 1t appears from the
following brief article, which we repub-
lish from the Philadelphia Bulletin,--
that the Buchanan Democracy are
playing similar game at this time.

UNION OR D1suM1oru.

We cannot too strongly impress upon
the minds of our readers the sectional
attitude assumed by the two factions
opposed to the great and patriotic A
merican Union party of the day, led by
the noble and whole souled conserva-
tive statesmen, WILLARD FILLMORE
and ANDREW J. DoNELsoN. Indeed
so alarmingly sectional have these fac
tons become, that the Old Wings, pa
triotic and conservative, were constrain-
cd to assemble in National Convention
and solemnly administer singing re-
buke to the sham Democracy and the
Black Republicans, in their war for the
spoils over the rights of half the Union,
and to join themselves bodily to the
fortunes Of Fillmore & Donelson, in q
plainly marked contest for the Union
Of the States, and the Constitution as
the bond Of brotherhood between them.
1t was noble sight that Convention of
WIGS! coming together from the ex-
tremes of our country, and renewing
their solemn VOWS at the altar of Lib
crty. IF the spirits of the departed are
permitted a concern for earthly affairs,
surely those of Washington, Jefferson,
and the multitude Of great and good
men who have been transplanted to the
abodes Of more than mortal freedom,
looked down approvingly upon that
scene. Amid the turbulence of the
war Of faction, they upheld the banner
of the Union. When all was darkness
and gloom in our horizon, and the ship
of state was tossing upon troubled
pillows, they pointed to Fillmore's adj
ministration as the promised sunshine,
and to the Constitution as the port of
safety. While Southern Democracy
was threatening disunion, and daring
to propose the prcliminarics, and while
Northern Abolitionism was plotting
treason in different forms-it was we'll
for the Union that the band of aged
and patriotic worthless from the Old
Wing ranks, did come together to aid
in rolling back the tide of disunion, and
In clcvating Union loving men TO the
high stations Of authority, where their
wise councils and efficient acts should
be felt in giving peace to q distracted
country.
DIsUN1oN waits upon the success Of
either of the sectional parties. Sham
Democracy cannot reconcile the diff
culties under which our country is ours
cd, because it brought them upon us,
and has been widening the breach all
the time since Pierce went into power.
Sham Democracy gave birth and being
to Black Republicans, in corrupt and
wicked attempt to ride into power in
1856 upon the Slavery agitation, not
withstanding their solemn covenant
with the people not to reopen that ag-
itation, so fraught with danger to the
perpctuity Of our Union. Can party
grown so corrupt as thus to disregard
its pledges, and to endangcr and disor.
ganizc tho Union, be longer trusted?
Add to these facts the undeniablo one
that Southern Democracy is advoca-
ting DISUNION as a cure for the trou
bles brought upon us by Democratic
Administration, and how can any con-
American union. [volume] (Morgantown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1855-1859, 1856-10-25

The following account of Fillmore's
prospects there, we take from the New
York Express:
awe have the most cheering intel
ligence from California by the George
Law. Both private letters, and the
newspaper accounts, give every rea-
sonahle assurance that the Golden
State is safe for Fillmore and Donelson
in November. AS a solitary illustra-
ton of the spirit and enthusiasm with
which our friends on the Pacific side
are pushing the canvass, we may state
that there are now twenty-four news
papers in California which sustain the
good cause. The names upon the e.
lectoral ticket are all of the right stamp.
The speakers are canvassing the State
with an energy and determination to
win-and now that the ballot box stuff
fers have been thoroughly weeded out,
there is but little doubt the free, fair &
untrammelled expression Of the peo-
pies will, next month, will be in favor
of Fillmore and Donelson. This is
good news, and as true as it is good
1t indicates that California is not rea-
dy just yet to ''let the Union slide"
nor any thing like prepared to strike
fifteen stars from the national banner"

Ehe Reaction In the south,


To the Editors of the New York Ex-
press.
Some weeks ago / endeayored to de-
monstrate to your readers that Virgin
ia would cast her electoral vote for Fill
more in November next. My argu-
ment was based upon the fact that MIR.
Wise's majority in the State was less
than 10000, and upon his ow admis-
sion that he received at least 10, 900
old line Wing votes, thus reducing the
Democratic party proper to small mi
nority, leaving the State to be swayed
by majority of those 10000 Wings,
who, Of course, hold the balance of
power. To strengthen the position
which [ then assumed, propose to sub
init to your readers few additional
facts.
On the 10th inst. the Black Repub
lican Convention held at Wheeling,
nominated a Fremont Electoral ticket
for this State. According to the CEN
sus of 1850, there were 22,985 foreign
ers here; since then they have increas-
ed to Is, 000--a large portion of whom
are Roman Catholics. That portion
of this State which borders on Penn
sylvania and the Ohio river, contains
many Black Republican Abolitionists,
who, together with these Roman Cath
olics, make considerable number
Now, it is supposed by many shrewd
politicians here, that Mr.. Fremont will
get of these, about 10000 votes; but
to reduce it so low number that none
can doubt its correctness, l will put it
down to but 1000. At least G, 600 of
these would, as between the Americans
and Democrats, vote for the latter par
ty, so that there is q clear loss to them
of 5000
Since the Wing National Con-
vention has nominated Mr.. Fill
more, he will get seven out Of
ten lat the least) of these 10000
Wings who voted for Wise
which will also be clear loss to
the Democracy of 1000
