Buchanan’s Prospects North and
West.—The St. L>uis Intel 1 tgenetr, in
reviewing the prospects of Mr. Bftchan
an,says:
“Buchanan is a doomed and defeated
mnn. As surely as Cass was borne
down and defeated in 1848. so will Buch
anan be defeated now. He will never
sit in the Presidentialchair. Buchanan
will not get a single New England State.
He will lose New York ar.d Ohio by
nearly 100,000 minority. His strong
hold of Pennsylvania is torn from him,and
nothing is more certain than his inglo
rious defeat in his own State. In all the
Northwest Buchanan is as dead ns an
Egyptian mummy buried a thousand
years ago. He will not get a single
Siate north of the Ohio river or west of
the lakes. He will be overwhelmingly
defeated in the Northwest. His own
partisans there feel it and know it.
UBing Negro testimony against Ur
Fillmore.
The Macon Ala., Republican, says
The Montgomery Advertiser has lately
issued a pamphlet of sixty-four pages,
professing to contain the platforms of
the several parties in the present Preri
dential canvass, together with letters
speeches, records, Sic. ATnongst other
matter it contains the testimony of
fugitive slave, - to prove that when he
escaped from his owner,'Mr. Fillsior
harbored him, gave him money, and
helped him on hts way. And this pam
pblet is issued from the central organ
of the Democratic party iu Alabama,
and unless it is repudiated by the demo
cracy of the State, we shall take it for
granted that (hey have placed them
selves upon the same level with a fugitive
slave, in traducing, slandering, and villi-
fying the name and charter ofMr. Fill
more; and that they have made hint;
Milton Clark,' the fugitive slave, one of
their co-workers in defeating the Ameri
can candidate for the Presidency, and
in advocating the cause of Buchanan.
How desperate must be the fortunes of
a party when it can bring itself to re
sort to such base and despicable means !
Negro testimony, as much as any
thing else, was what billed Mr. Van
Buren in 1840. . He had allowed It to
be used it* the trial of a white man be
fore a court martial, and the American
people'- arose in the majesty of their
strength, and damned to everlasting
infamy both Van Buren and those who
sustained him. And now the attempt
is made by the democratic party of the
present day to'put down'Mr. Fillmore
bv a fugitive from slavery, whom some
despicable agent at the North has Wd
to swear away the pure and unsullied
character of a great American patriot.
Will not the people of Alabama re
buke at the ballot box. this base pro
ceeding of patting on the witness stand
one of their, own slaves, !0 swear away
the character of a white man. Will
not the democracy of ^Alabama rebuke
it! Or will thev consent to stand upon
thesamelevel tfith Martin Van Bu-
RENi the abolitionist, and Mihon Clark

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES.. i ;>
Fellow.Citizens : There are cir
cumstances which call for the appeal we
make to your most earnest atumtion—-
The times ap)>ear to us etartling and
critical. There are aspects in the pend
ing contest for ■ the Presidency, which
are very unusual and important. W«*
cannot therefore, forbear freely to com
municate some of our apprehensions,
before we separate here, and to call up
on you ..at onec to look full iu the face
any dangers which may seem to impend
oter the great*.st popular government on
earth. : '
Two of the political parties in the
country have pitched a Presidential bat
tle upon sectional issues;, and of so fear
ful a character as to stir the deepest pas
sions of the American people. Though
in seeming conflict, it cannot be disguis
ed, that those parties have in such sort
co-operated ns to press upon the coun
try one exciting issue after another, until,
by dint ot continued exasperation, they
have nearly succeeded in arraying, in
hostile columns, one half of the States of
the Union against the other. They ap
pear mutually to have employed all the
energies of party power to engender sec
tional distrust, prejudice, and crimina
tion, and now, for the first time in the
history of the government, we find a truly
formidable party, fully organized, and
using every effort in their power to com
bine the nonslaveholding against the
slaveholding States of the Union, in a
struggle for the Executive power of the
Confederacy. In that organization are
included men who are supposed to he
conservative and national, but who are
believed to be led, by excitement or
misconception, into movements which,
in their cooler moments, they cannot
but recoil from, as they would from
pestilence and famine.
Its management has been essentially
controlled by leaders who, under all cir
cumstances, have steadily kept up an
active, unceasing, and implacable war
fare upon the institutions of the slave
holding States. Should such a party
unfortunately succeed, in the present
distracted slate of the public mind, in
electing a sectional President, supported
nlone by the voters of the non-slavehold
ing States, we Iiave too much reason to
apprehend that there might instantly
spring into existence a movement of resis
tance, the consequences of which no
human wisdom can forsee, and no lover
of his country or friend of popular go
vernment any where could fail, in all com
ing time, sadly to deplore.
We do not believe they can succeed
but we may be really “treading upon the
brink of a'volcano, that is liable, at-any
moment, to burst forth and overwhelm
the nation.'
But the Republican party is not alone
responsible for those appalling issues,
nor is its success the only danger to the
stability of the Government in its present
form. The Democratic party has eager
1y and rashly seized upon these moment
ous issues, and- wielded them as the
thunder-bolts of party warfare. They
have striven to madden the South, and
to concentrate Southern votes upon their
candidates, as the Abolitionists have
striven to madden the North and to con
centrnte Northern votes ujion their can
didates. ->•
When their extreme measures are
resisted, they tannt national men in the
South as “siibmissionists,” or worse
than submissionists, as the Abolitionists
taunt national men in the North as
“dough faces,” or worse than dough
faces. -t •’
They have apparently struggled to
bring about the formation of geographi
cal parties, such as the .Father of hfe
country so emphatically!? warned us
against,based upon questions immediate
ly tending to split the Union asnnder;
and they have seemingly done this for
the petty purpose of Securing a least, we
think, would survive the success of such
a party for the present; btu its triumph
would .probably keep the furnace'of sec
tional passion red hot, and ultimately,
and it may be at no distant day,' its rash
errors would engender a storm of section
al conflict beneath wh\ph the .government
would sink into.ruin. We think, they
too, iviU /ail.
Bat we believe the time has come
when the common safety requires that the
raging sectional heats of those parties
should becooled.The timehascome when
national, conservative men, respecting
the Constitution, true totheir whole
country, and ^’indignantly frowning
upon the first dawning- of disnmon,’
should stand shoulder, to- shoulder, and
unite in placing at the head of govern
ments Chief Magistrate in'whose capaci
ty, honesty and patriotism all could con
fide.: .The National American pariy
have now-presen led such a man-—one
who has been tried-fand'^ found 1 , faithful
to every trust—who^ being suddenly
called upOtr to take"thtj helm of govern-i
merit, at a time when the heavens were
lurid with the angry tempest of 18.49-5Qj
sfisuccessfully rode oii£ that pmrm, Vo
faithfully^ and gallantlly secured the
safety of the noble ship of Slate, as t«
win from nn admiring people the most
heartfelt plaudits, “Weli.done, thou good
1 and faithful servant.” „ v
We point yon to another fearful cap-
lPk*the humiliating
ggle how going Oft
and Republican parties
foreign pate, and to the tremulous ap
prehensions expressed for the fete of the
one or the other of those parlies, as the
uncertain movements of the Germans or
Irish oscillate between them. We warn
you that the fate of this great govern
ment may soon be equally dependent
upon the unstable movements of ' those
mighty masses, fresh from the monarch
ies of Europe. Large portions of our
Uuion are already overflowing with a
foreign population—a population 6nch
as has shown itself utterly incapable of
sustaining popular governments in the
Old World. So immense is How the
influx that we can scarcely be regarded
as the same or the descendants of the
same people we were twenty years ago.
Where, and in what, is this to end ?
Millard Fillmore alone, of the candidates
for the Presidency, has refused to court
this gigantic and growing element of
power. While ho has no hostility to
foreigners, he frankly warns his country
men that it is safer for American born
citizens to rule the destinies of America.
Having witnessed their deplorable con
dition in their own fatherland, he would
hare with them all the privileges and
blessings of ours, 6ave the single privi
lege of seizing the reins of government,
and overturning the car of State, in
which we are all passengers. We be
seech you to see the dangers we have
briefly glanced at, and to shun them, be
fore it is too late forever! . ;:
We urge j’ou to unite with us in sup
port of the patriot statesman who lias
always fearlessly outspoken his senti
ments'—who has over made the Consti
tution his guiding star—who bos risen
from an apprentice boy to the Presidency
— who, when President, frowned upon
disorganizes and radicals, North and
South, and, with the aid of consetvative
Whigs and Democrats, bravely restored
peace to a distracted country—who has
just said M If there be those either North
or South, who desire nn administration
for the North as against the South, or
for the South as against the North, they
are not the men who should give their
suffrages to me.” ' - ” ;
Erom the moment Mr. Fillmore was
first placed in nomination, every effort
ba^been resorted to, to induce the coun
try to believe, first, that he w?nld not
accept the nomination; secondly, that
be had no strength at the North, and
could not carry a single Northern, State,
even his own; thirdly, that he had no
strength at the South, and could not car
ry a single Southern State; foorthly,
that he was so Southern in his feelings
and views, that the North ought not to
support him, and would not; and fifthly,
that he was an Abolitionist, and could
not and ought not lobe supported by the
South. . '$••_/- : .x
In. regard to the charges against Mr.
Fillmore which related to his views and
opinions of public policy, hts friends
have deemed it best to permit them to
be refuted, as they have been most am
ply and triumphantly,by the record of his
model administration.: by his own bold,
frank And manly speeches, which the
people have everywhere ‘ read ''with'ad-
miration and delight, and by his own
pure, unsullied reputation and spotless
character. Of these the people them
selves had the means of forming an tic-
curate judgment, and to thatjudg ment
both he and his friends have been at*all
times, and are now, ready to bmv with
respectful submission—they ask no ap
peal to any other tribunal.
But the arts and falsehoods which
have been resorted to by the two sec
tional parties of the country to weaken
Mr. Fillmore, by inducing the belief
that he was without strength elsewhere
than in the place where the falsehood
was told, the people have not been so
well able to understand. -They have
heard'these assertions generally with
surprise and incredulity,though the fre
quency of theirrepetition, the confident
tone in which they were asserted, the
variety, of forms in which they have
been made to appear, and, above all
the perfect concurrence of Republicans
and Democrats in these misrepresenta-
lipps^aud tbe readiness with which the
one sustained the other’s fabrication,
have made some impression upon the
public mind, or at least upon the minds
of such as consnit their fears rather
than rely - upon the goodness of their
cause. „ '
Uport the eve of our adjournment,
these and ; similar assertions are again
renewed, with a view no doubt of sow
ing the seeds of alienation and distrust
between our friends in different sections
oT the.Union, and these wicked and
false statements are sent to the country
-by railroad, by telegraph, and by'mis
sionaries and emissaries, with a zeal
and apparent confidence worthier of a
better cause, and the assertion is now
added that Mr. Fillmore will be now
withdrawn.
In addressing you now, wc wish defi
nite)} no contradict these untrue reports,
and correct as far as we can the false
impression to which they have given
rise; ind ihus to strip our enemies of
iheir raoVt .favorite ani nearly!<*nly.re
maining means of warfare.
I None of these charges and insinua
tions are true. We speak to all sec
tions of our common country in saying
s>>. The friends of our candidates,
both North and South, are standing
firmly by their colors and by their men,
and will do so until the contest is decid
ed in~November. -'They do so both
from choice- and from" dutjv _^Tiiey
choose it, becadse their roeVstand on
the ohfy true national platform,, as broad MR. FILLMORE AlTOl^ lfaaifowLr

their duty requires t hat these geograph

be driven from the field. Whoever aids
either, aids one section .of our common
country against the other. •* .
We can aay .to- our, friends in all sec-,
tiotts, that from henceforth until the

candidates must be based upon some
thing in the future different from the
past, to be true > that North and South,
the friends of our candidates are true
as well tempered steel, and are work
ing with some heart, zeal and confidence
as the canvass progtesses. The hearts
of true National men, North and South
beat in unison with each other, and
their handr are being vigorously applied
to a common labor, and for a common
result; and there is not the least rea
son, in any siction, for distrust of friends
in any other. Let not the enemy reap
any frui's front the insidious policy pur
sued bytthem. .We say to you, that it
appears to us from this point of obser<
ration, that if all who in their hearts
prefer Millard Fillmore for President
shall vote for him, he will be triumph
antly elected. ; •
We do not pretend to direct, govern,
or control the movement in favor of the
American cause. That is a matter sole
ly in the hands of the people at large.
It is theirs; they originated it. We
believe our candidates, however, are
infinitely stronger amongst the people
than among the politicians, who hap
pen at this time to be in power, or
struggling to acquire it. Let their
friends be of good cheer. Let them do
their duty, and they will be astonished
at their great strength at the polls. Let
each man go to work and confide in his
friends elsewhere, and the victory is sure!
jJJo cunningly devised stories should in
duce them for one moment to think of
taking sides between the candidates of
those dangerous sectional organizations,
which are now struggling to concen
trate the North against the South and
the South against the North. They
should,and will, both be overthrown.—
The country requires repose and de
mands safety. The friends of Fillmore
and Donelsun are the friends of the
Union. They have the power to elect
them, and thus strengthen the bonds oi
that friendship and confidence between
the North and the South which in other
days added such power and glory to
the Republic.
Let us now pledge ourselves each to
the other that every man will do his
duty to our candidates and our cause,
and you may rely open it the country
will be saved from the dangers that en
compass it, and restored to the quiet and
confidence which blessed it at the close
of Mr. Fillmore’s administration.

Fillmore ,, in Georgia—-The Ma
con Citizen sayisY From many letter^
recently received at this^ office; we are
satisfied that nothing is wanting but an
active and determined effort on the part
of the friends of FiUmore^ - to - give him
the vote of Georgia. The people are
against the politicians in this contest,
as sure as-you are born, reader. Let our
speakers go forth, and jet our Fillmore
ctybi and Fillmore men, of tineans, circu
late the documents !Let our Fxecutive
Committee wake up to the importance of
the occasion and let os all work from this
time till the day of election, and that
day isoqrs !

It is to be presumed, that both the

ble men, that they knew wiiat they wW*
at, and that in tjie rule they laid down’
for their future government in tliesr
resolutions, they had some definite, prac
tical object in view. It is evident that
they looked to the future, and that their
sole object was to provide against the
disturbance of a certain.measure which'
they belies eJ essential to the dignity and
well-being of the. Southern Stytes.-^.
They were no mere political theorists, -
building up’ a structure for th.e amuM-

meshes of an ingenious political net to
