And where battle is thickcst, VIC follow the

VOTE FOR PRESIDENT IN 1856.
BUCHANAN


Two States have been added since the election
of 1856 Minnesota with Electoral votes, and Ore
pon with 3; this will make the whole number Of
electoral votes 3l0-necessary to a choice l56.-
Minnesota may be relied for the Black Re
publicans, and probably Oregon also.
Now it is very certain that Lincoln and Ham
lin will get the ia electoral votes which Ere
mont got. Give them in addition II from Illinois
and you make their vote l25. Then with three
full tickets in the field they will get the vote of
Pennsylvania (27) which will give them 152-
And in addition to this they will very probably car
ry Indiana which will give them 13 votes more but
the four of Minnesota will elect them. Some of
our friends in this locality pretend to think that
Black Republicanism is not str 'ng as in 1856.
and that the present abolition ticket cannot get
Freemont's vote. Let such fold their hands and
slumber on, November will undeceve them.
That all the evils of fanatical msrue are threat
ening us is undeniable and still the Wing, Oppo-
sition, Union party, whatever it is, and the
democratic party, both protesting hatred to the
Black Republicans and love for the Constitution
and the Union instead of consolidating for the
overthrow of the common enemy, arrayed
against each other We foresee the end and
wash our hands of any participation in the l.
ing struggle.

TIIESDAY MORNING. MAY %. 1860.
Another Presidential Ticket-Where are
we Drifting toe


We announced ON yesterday that the Chicago
Convention had nominated Abrahm Lincoln. of
Illinois, for President, and Hannibal Hamlin, of
Maine for President. Lincoln is fiery Alb
olitionist not a whit better than Seward. It will
be recollected that he and Senator Douglas
stumped Illinois two years ago aud that the main
issue between them slavery-Dodgas de-
Tending it and Lincoln advocated its abolition.
And here we cannot help expressing our aston
ishment at hearing Southern shareholders declare
that they have no more confidence in Douglas
than in Seward hen it is notorious fact that he
has been burnt in ef6gy by abolition mobs
throughout the North, in his own State and else
where, for advocating slavery. But Douglas IS
not the object of our present remarks Lincoln
is man of great energy and force OF character,
a man of superior talents, and withal a fanatic.
No doubt principal object in putting him on
the ticket was to secure the of Illinois, which
it will most likely accomplish, which result will
add that much to the Black Republican vote of
1856: for at that time that State went for Mr. Bu-
chanan through the exertions of Senator Douglas
Hannibal Hamlin is at this time U. S. Senator
from Maine He is one of the original panel-has
been an abolitionist from youth up, and will con-
4inue so until his sinful old finds its final
level in the dust. There Is nothing remarkable
about his antecedents, save that he has always
been violent abolitionist and an uncompromising
fanatic So now there two full tickets in the
field, Bell and Everett and Lincoln and Hamlin.
But what will be done at Baltimore and Rich
mond Will the democratic party make nomi-
nation at Baltimore or not? What will the Sece-
Aers do at Richmond? These are questions that
will vex US all for the next few weeks. We be-
leved from the first, and believe now, that the
only possible way to defeat the Black Republicans
would be by fusion between the Democratic
ard Wing parties, but both of these parties have
shown that they did not care to have anything to
was made to secure the CO operation of the Wing
party bv the democrats, and at Baltimore, though
those who made the nominations professed to be-
long to no party. it is we'll known they had all
been Wings and americans, and they took very
good care to put wings in nomination. So we
have despaired of any fusion between these ele
Inents and if the Democratic party nominate Mr.
Douglas at Baltimore, which they most likely
will, we as firmly believe that the government
of this country will pass into the hands of the
Black Republicans the 4th of March, 1851 a:
we believe that to-morrows sun will rise; anC
the professed conservatives of the country who
could have prevented it but would not, will be t.

Mr.. FILLMORE.-We cut out and intended to
publish an extract of a letter from Mr.. Fillmore
to which our attention had been called, in which
he expressed unwavering devotion to the Union
and regret at the seeming desire for sectional div

N. Y. Express few days ago. and any one hav-

the letter will confer q favor by leaving the same

The scheduIe-we Shall not Follow


We learn that orders were received by the
Postmaster at Goldsboro' on Saturday to deliver
the mail to the A. & N. r Road Co. at the time
required by their schedule, as soon they
should demand it, and so unless the Board backs
down, suppose the schedule will go into
effect in a day two. We shall not attempt to
follow them. We changed once before in order
to give the latest news for seUenteen days. at the
end of which time they changed back. And too
think that it is best that the public should
feel some of the disadvantages which will result
from this suicidal change of schedule. We shall
continue, for the present, to publish morning pa
per, don't care even if they bring the mail one
hour afterwards
Surely the expressions Of condemnation. of the
ne" arrangement have been sufficient to induce
the Directors to ponder and examine the matter
htte' but nothing is to be expected in this case
1or we doubt not but they have determined to
carry 1t out, and would do it though every stock
holder In the road opposed it. We give them
warning now, however, that, if IN existence at
that time, the matter shall come up at the Stock
holders meeting.
