LETTER FHOHIBSTATOll PEAKCE,
mt Maryland, m the Polities of the
iajr*
Washington, July 31, 1856.
My Dear Sir: You ask what part I
UMtn to take In the coming Presidential
election, and what 1 think should be doue
by old Whigs who havo never been at
toched to any other party, and who do
not desire to enter into new political con
uexions.
I am well awaro of the cmbunuisa-
meats to each persons which attend a
choice among tue candidates for the
Presidency now before the country. In
my own case this embarrassment is sensi
bly felt My inclinations point one way,
a sense of the duty arising from the pres
ent dangerous condition of domestic poli
tics leads mo auother way.
My past relations, political and person
al, with Mr. Fillmore, the confidence 1
have always reposed in his integrity and
ability, tuo wisdom of his Administra
tion, and the conviction I cutertain that
bO is a just national man uud free from
sectional prejudice, would induce iuc to
S refer him to his competitors. Neither
o I object to the Sentiment of American
nationality, properly limited and restrain
ed. Indeed I think that our present sys
tem has made American citizenship too
cheap. But I did not approve the mys
terious system under which the American
.party, of which he is now the representa
tive, was organized; the oaths administer
ed to members upon initiation, mid the
discipline of the order, by which secre-
sv and obcdieuce were secured. How fur
ml this has been dispensed with I do not
know. The original plan of their organi
zation I could .not but condemn, as 1 do
thejadoptftn of any principle which
•ftjtmds a rule of political exclusion upon
a diversity of religious faith. ,T
d in *
modified i
However
these respects their plan may
now be, it is Jiot necessary for me to en
quire. The Northern wing of the party
came into it, as I think, with purposes
very different from those entertained by
the rest. They adopted it as a cloak to
schemes which all of us in Muryiuud con
demn and detest. The necessary affilia
tions of that wing of the party were with
the anti-slavery men; and accordingly wc
find the mask now tlirowu oft* by the
most of them, and see the development of
their plans in such a measure as the per
sonal liberty bill of Massachusetts, which
nullifies a law of Congress, violates tiie
constitutional guarautec for the recovery
of fugitive slaves, and creates the fiercest
and most dangerous discord between the
North and the South. Their members of
Congress have for the most part been
consolidated with the pernicious party
miscalledJRepublican, and many of the
delegates "to their Presidential Convention
have deserted to that, j. motley alliance,
whose triumph would be the saddest
calamity that ever befel our Union. The
comparatively small portion of the Am
erican party which remained after this
transfer to the anti-slavery men,and which
has nominated Mr. Fillmore, is without
power to elect him, even with the assis
tance, of Southern Whigs or National
Northern Whigs. These, however great
their personal respect for and confidence
in Mr. Fillmore, are under no party obli
gations now to give him their support,
seeking that he has become a member ami
accepted the nomination of a party which
repudiates the Whips ; and, while they
would be willing m a contest with their
old opponents to stand by all their politi
cal opinions to the last, they find ample
reason in the present condition of par
ties, in the political anarchy which pre
vails, and in the fear of a sectional and
anti-slavery triumph, leading to ulterior
consequences of the worst sort, to consider
whether, it is not their duty to sacrifice
all personal feeling and party prejudice
for the sake of the Union, and to sustain
the nominations of the Democrats as the
only means of defeating the schemes of
the mod agitators who rule the Republi
can party.
The ^contest, it seems to me, lies be
tween Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Fremont.
Mr. Fillmore’s friends indeed claim a
great reaction in his favor ; but 1 have
taken much pains to ascertain what his
strength is in the free States, and so far l
have not been ablc 4 to i satisfy*myself that he
can carry a single one of them. His wise
and patriotic conduct while President;
which recommended him. so strongly to
the Whigs of the South, is regarded by
the majority at the North as a fatal ob
jection to him. It is not moderation and
conciliation they desire; they think, as
one of their leaders said, that the time
for compromises has passed. They want,
in the President, an instrument to punish
national for this purpose, and lie must in
deed be creduloas or sanguine in the ex
treme who supposes that the politicians
who have misguided and inflamed the
Northern majority will abandon their de
signs, and renounce the spoils for which
they hunger und thirst just at the moment
' when, for the first time, they are confi
dent of the success of the one und the en
joyment of the other. Mr. Fillmore’s
strength lies in the Whig States of the
South. If all the Southern States should
give him their votes, lie would fail in the
election without such assistance from the
free States as it would be vain to look
for. The choice, then, is between Mr.
Buchanan and Mr. Fremont, and what
Maryland Whig believing as I do can
hesitate ?
I.ain not’so unjust as to charge all the
, Northern men who join in the support of
Mr. Fremont with being abolitionists.
There are men among them whom I hold
in much respect, while deploring the er
ror’ of judgment Jinto which the have
- fallen; but the most active und influential
of-their leaders are men who, from per
verted judgment or inflamed passions, or,
. wlmt is worse, from deliberate calculation,
have ^determined to build up a sectional
party, reckless of its peril to tht Union,
once so justly^'valued, but now estimated
far less at the North than at the South.
Mr. Grccfy is at this moment more poten
tial with his party than uny other of its
members. He has Uie benefit of Mr.
G hiding's co-operation.
(Jovsrnor Chase, Ur. Bowanl, imd Mr Wil
son am active and Influential leaders. Their
presses tecni with tlio fiercest abuse of Bmith-
ern men 'and Southern institutions, with tho
• grossest perversions of-tho truth, wickedly
made 1 to fnflamo tho Northern' mind.
ThMr orators denounce in equally, and sonic do
npt hesitete to my that they Intend or desire
‘ not only tei restote Kuiisns to the operation of
thoMissouri restriction, hut toj repeal tho fugi
tive slave bill, to abolish slavery in tlto District
to interdict tho. Inter-State slave ]
prevent the owner, from Itnml-
his -domestics from ono slave
lothor, to prevent forever hereafter
iu of any uew ( .8tato which tolerates
„ vitufle,' and to hem in Alia confine
slavery within tte present limits; thus continu
ally increasing the political power or their hoc-
lion, until wo shall Co too weak to resist tholr
.Ailuro effort* to impair Urn value of our pecu
liar property, and finally to destroy it. Wo do
not indeed nud ull these objects laid down in
tho platform of their party; and there uro men
associated with them whoso designs by no
means extend so far, and who, if they know tho
probablo consequences of tlioir success, would
recoil from tho evil associations into which
they liavo fallen, flat, then, moro moderate
men are uot tho master-spirits in this league of
agitation, and will ho powerless to stop tho
mischievous measures which 1 think ccrtalu to
follow the buoocss of the combinations which
they aro now aiding.
The tone of the press iu their interest, tho
speeches of many members of Congress, and
of tho amateur orators of tho party, all cvinco
a determination to uuito ail the peoplo of the
free States, if possible, iu fierce and relentless
hostility to those of the South. It is the strife
of sections iu which they hope to succeed ; and
in what would their success result? Not In
forming a more perfect uuiou, not iu establish
ing justieo or insuring doinestio tranquillity-
all of which are among tho declared objects of
that Constitution whicii Washington uud the
other fathers of the republic gave to us ; but
in the jealousies, discord aud hatred insepara
ble from a party "characterized by geographi
cal discriminations.” It was against this that
the Father of his Country warned us in his
Farewell Address—the last legacy of tho spot
less patriot to tho country he hud loved and
served so well.
Some years ago, (in 1830) when the danger
of this sectional organization was less than it
is now, Mr. Clay gave ns his advico in the fol
low ing words:
"Abolitionism should no longer bo regarded
as an imaginary danger. The abolitionists, let
mo suppose, succeed in their present uim of
uniting the inhabitant* of l he free States as one
man against the inhabitants of the slave Slates.
Union on one side will beget union on the other,
and this process of reciprocal consolidation
will be attended with all the .violent prejudices,
embittered passions, and implacable animosi
ties which ever degraded or deformed human
nature. Virtual dissolution of the Uuion will
have taken place, whilst the forms of its exis
tence remain.” * * * "One section will
sland in menacing and hostile array ugninst
the other. The collision qf opinion ivtll soon be
followed by the clash oj arms. I will wot at
tempt to describe scenes which uow happily
lio concealed from our view. Abolitionists
themselves would shrink back iu dismay and
horror at tiie contemplation of desolated fields,
conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, aud
the overthrew of the fairest fabric of liumuu
government that ever roso to animate tho hopes
of civilized man.”
It will be said, perhaps, that this ► is mere
declamation; that Mr. Clay’s fervid spirit gave
too warm coloring to tho picture; but we need
only remark the pussionato violence which
characterizes men who have lately yielded to
this sectional phrenzy to satisfy ourselves what
is the temper natural to such organizations. At
the Convention in Philadelphia, held by those
who nominated Mr. Fremont, a conspicuous
and distinguished gentlomau, heretofore con
sidered moderate und conservative, made a
speech, in which, amidst cheers nud cries of
"good,” he spoke ns follows:
‘They (meaning those who appointed the mem
hers of the Convention) ask us to give them a
nomination which, when put fairly before the
people, will nnite public sentiment, and
through the ballot-box, will restrain, aud repel
this pro-slavery extension and this nggres
Bion of the slaveoeraoy. What else are they
doing? They tell you that they are willing to
abide by the ballot box aud willing to make
that the last appeal. Wo will drive it back
sword in hand, und, so help me God, I urn
w itb them.”
It is true that the author of these remarks
has since publicly avowed that ho alone is re
sponsliblo for this rhapsody. Put it cannot bo
doubted that the feeling which prompted him
was the same which animated tho preacher
who proposed to supply tho brethren of Kan
sas with bread aud powder too, aud which lias
stimulated other preachers and their congrega
tions to subscribe Sharpe’s rifles as tho most
efficacious intsrument in the adjustment of the
controversies in that Territory, which all good
men deplore,^however they may diirer as to the
causes of the unhappy anarchy which pre
vails there. For my&elf I acknowledge my
duty Sto (redress, so fur as 1 can, all
the real grievances complained of in that region;
and 1 have supposed that the bill recently pass
ed by the Senate was well calculated to remedy
them, because it proposes to cuact that no law
shall be made or to have force of effect iu said
Territory which shall require a test-oath, or
oaths to support any act of Congress or other
legislative act, us a qualification for any civil
office or public trust, or for uny employment
or profession, or to senrejus a juror or vote at an
election, or which shall impose any tax upon
or condition to the exercise of tiie right ofsulf
rage by auy qualified voter, or which shall re
strain or prohibit tiie free discussion of uny,
law or subject of legislation in the said Terri
tory, or tiie free expression of opinion thereon
by tiie people of said Territory ; and secures,
as far us law can secure, tlto operation of the
public will in the formation nf u State govern
ment
That this bill was sinco'rely meant to c-ITect
its uvowed purpose I am quite confident; and
I believe that there are conservative men at
the North, who do not yield to prejudice or
passion, who will credit this assertion. Un
fortunately they are uot tho majority. At all
events, in the most of the free States the
masses of the Republican party arc led by
men who do not mean to be satisfied with any
legislation which is not to result in platting the
Government under their control; by men
who say that tho framers of the Constitution
"made a compromise that cannot be mention
ed without shame;” who say of Mr. Fillmore,
iu allusion to his signing the fugitive slave bill,
"better fur had ho never been born—better
for his memory, and for tho name of his chil
dren, had he never been President;” who de
clares that bill to be "one of the immortal cata
logues of national crimes,” and that he who
signed it thereby "sunk into tho depths of in
famy;” who pronounce tho fugitive slave to be
"one of the heroes of the age',” and tho mas
ter who dennud-i him a "vile slnvo hunter,”
whom all men should look upon with contempt,
indignation, abhorrence; men who do not re
gard tho Constitution, und Uie laws made in
pursuance of it, as (the supreme law of the
land; who disregard the decisions of that high
tribunal whose olllee it is to decide constitu
tional questions; who claim to setup theiriudi-
victual opinions against tho oilicial ones of the
judicial authorities, mid refer their obligations,
not to the instrument which they have sworn
to support, tyhich is ut onto tho bond nud the
principle*ol Union, but to some "higher law,”
whose foundations are to he found iu their own
fanatical imaginations.
Somo of the leaders go further -till, und con
sider slavery a wrong so transcendent that it
must not only bo limited to its present hounds,
but must Ik* abolished altogether. We see tiie
effects of this in the increasing restivene.isof
n part of oar*population, iu the often repeated
escapes or our servants from tho mildest form
of servitude ever known, and in the ready ac
ceptance of tlto recommendation not to hesi-
■t
I not on)
to Influx
nt many
and the i
tate at theft, robbery, and murder, if noi d bo,
to nccomplishjtlioir flight. From tills condition
of things we can expert no relief If the nntl-
slavory party succeed in the election of Mr-
Fremont. To defeat their nomination seems
to mo to be our first duty nud greatest interest,
and therefore I am ready to adopt that candi
date who appears most likely to accomplish
that purpose. I add, as showing the extreme
dusigus of the anti-slavery zealots, the follow
ing remarks, reported ns having been made
lately by Mr. Weudoll Phillips. Speaking of
the Republican party, he says:
"it is the first fractional party ever organized
in tliis country. It does not know* its own face.
It calls itself national; hut it is not nutionul—
it is sectional. It Is the North arrayed against
tho South. Henry W’ilsou said to mo, 4 Wo
must got every Northern State in order to elect
Fremont!’ It was a distinct recognition of tin
fact Unit tiie Hopublicau party it a party of tiie
Fortlijpledged against tho South. Theodore
Parker wanted to know once where disunion
would begin? J will tell him—just where tlmt
party decides ; Unit is, a Northern party against
tho Southern. J do not cull it an anti-slavery
party ; It has not risen to that yet. Its first
uistinclrccognioti was Rink’s election.”
I have no idea tlmt this is to bo considered
ns showing the general purpose of tho Repub
lican party, but 1 urn well satisfied that such
opinions uro growing in the North, undor the
constant teachings of such apostles os Mr
Philips, and this speedi shows the tendency of
present events.
I have boon politically opposed to tho Dem
ocratic party for so many years Hint I cannot
without reluctance contemplate tho necessity
of Hupnorting their nominee. Yet it must ho
admitted that he is a mnu of abilities and largo
i while experience; that lie ims bean just to the
loutli, though not assuming to bo a Northern
man with Southern m indplcs; tlmt ids incli
nations uro generally conservative; That ho

Jlons to him aro ranch-railed onby hit op-
lonents In tho South. It has Iraca allegod that
jo countonaueod and promulgated the charge
of oargatn nud corruption agnlitet Mr. Olay iu
tho election by the House of Representatives iu
1825. I should denounce him for tills as readily
and us severely os any one if l thought this al
legation Just.
Rut l remember that thU cliargo was made
agaiust Mr. Clay without any direct tes
timony) until 1827, when tho Garter Beverly
letter led to Mr. Rnohanun’s being named os a
witness ; and that he then promptly denied the
statement that ho was rolled on to prove, uud.
at the risk of losing Gen. Jackson’s favor and
tlmt of his party, exonerated Mr. Clay. From
tiie letter which ho then published 1 extract the
followiug passago i
" I owe it to my own character to rnnko an
other observation, had 1 ever known or even
suspected that Gen. Jackson believed i had been
sent to him by Mr. Clay or bis friends, l should
have immediately corrected his erroneous im-
S resslon, and thus prevented tho necessity for
itamost unpleasant explanation. When the
editor of the United States Telegraph, on tiie
12 h of October lost, asked me by letter for
information on till* subject, I promptly inform
cd him by the returning mull, on the 16th or
that month, that I had no authority from Mr.
Clay or his friends to propose any terms to
Gun. Jucksott or his friends in relation to tkoir
votes, n«r did 1 ever make any such proposi
tions ; and that 1 trusted I would be as incapa
ble of becoming n messenger upon such an oc
casion ns it was kuown Gen. Jackson would be
to receive such a message. I have deemed it
necessary to make this statement in orderto
remove any misconception which may have
been occasioned by the publication In the Tele-
gnrpli of my letter to the editor, dated tiie 11th
ultimo”.
Again, iu 1523, in a speech delivered iu the
House of Representatives, Mr. Buchanau de
dared that ho had uo knowledge of tho bar
gain nud corruption charged on Mr. Clay
These disavowals may lie considered as merely
cold justice to tho great and incorruptablo
Whig leader, but’ surely tney contradict
most flatly tho cliargo of bolng his "traducer
and dofawer.” If further proof were needed
it may be found in the followiug remarks re
cently made iu Kentucky by Mr. Jut. R. Clay,
his son :
"Mr. Clay theu proceeded to urge upon his
old Whig trieuds, tiie companions and constit
uents of tits father, to rally around tlmt / bannor
which he had spent his life In upholding—the
banner of the Union. He was ready to follow
the Whig standard us the Douglas tollowcd the
heart of Bruce—as long as it waved. Rut that
Hag was no longer to be seen on the battlo
field. It might yet bo unfurled. After death
there was the resurrection. Rut at present
there was no Whig organization, and the only
party of tho Union was that of which Uuchanan
and Breckinridge wero the candidates.
"Mr. Clay reterred to the attempt to Impli
cate Mr. Duchauauin the charge of bargain and
corruption. On that subject he proposed to
take the testimony of his own father, aud he
read from Mr. Clay’s letter to show that Mr.
ltucliamui had conducted himself iu that afTair
as a man of truth aud honor, lie should be
lieve what his father said before others. Re
sides the evidence he had read, there was other
testimony bearing on the same point. In feel
ing and eloquent terms he referred to the
heavy weight of that charge against his
father, und how gallantly and bravely he had
borne it. Thank God, it died before his father!
aud now he was proud to say that there lived
not the man who would whisper it. • Rut Mr.
Buchanan was freo from all connexion with
the matter.
"Mr. Clay concluded with an eloquent appeal
to his fellow citizens, especially to the Old Line
Whigs, to give their cordial, support to tho
Union ticket—to Buchanan and Breckinridge.”
The next great objection is that Mr. Bu
chanan would be unsafe iu his management of
our nfl’uirs. I readily admit that I do uo like
tho Ostcnd paper, and I do not approve certain
rcso lutlons adopted by the Cinuinnatti Conven
tion, notwithstanding tho unanimous opposi
tion of the Virginnia and Maryland delegates,
und 1 believe of others; and if he should
adopt the aggressive policy supposed to be
prccrihed by that paper und the resolutions, I
should be as ready und as earnest in my opposi
tion to him as any ono, but lie Is a man of
known cantiou, which, with his intelligent com
prehension of the true interests of the United
States, and the responsibility of the Presidential
office, which lie could not but recognize, would
forbid his urging the country upon a course of
aggressiou inconsistent with the spirit of our
Government, faithless to treaties, violative of
the rights of other nations, and destructive of
our own pence, honor, aud concord. I know
that tnauy or the leading men of his own
imrty 4 ore sound and reliable in this respect; and
1 believe that their conservatl e intlnenco would
harmonize with his own disposition. 1 am the
more assured of this because I observe that in
his letter ofaccccptance therejs no recognition
of the resolutions, (which were not considered
by the Convention as forming a part of the
platform,) bbt, on the contrary, u prudent and
conservative tone, which met with the approba
tion of even the judicious and experienced Edi
tors of the National Intelligencer—themselves,
par excellence, tiie foes of all Hlllbiisteriiig. Iu
an additional article noticing Mr. Bucliai
letter of accsptancu, they|-:aid:
"We may say, however, that Mr. Buchanan’s
official letter of acceptance, while not express
ly repudiating tiie extreme and exceptionable
doctrines foisted iuto the Democratic confes
sions of faith by the Cincinnati Convention,
does yet, by its spirit aud tenor, inclino us to
hope that he means, if elected, so to construe
those doctrines as to disurm them of their mis
chievous significance und evil tendency. In-
wed wc cun give no other meaning than this
to Mr. Buchanan’s declaration when ho sayi
that he accepts tho ‘resolutions consulting tuc
platform of principles erected by the Conven
tion’ in tiie same spirit as that which prompts
Ida acceptance of the nomination Icudcred to
him by his party, namely,a desire so to dis
charge the duties of the high office rto which
he aspires as ‘to allay domestic strife, preserve
peace and friendship with foreign nations, and
promote tho heat interests of tho Republic.’ ”
At present tho prospect is that the conserva
tive Whig vote will ho so divided m to defeat
u popular election aud throw tho decision upon
the House of Representatives—ut all times an
event to lie deprecated, but nt this period pe
culiarly pernicious and dangerous, aud threat
ening tho rudest shock to our system. What
the result will bo 1 will not venture to predict,
but I will say that 1 do uot sec tiie least proba
bility of Mr. Fillmore’s election by tho House
of .Representatives. I think, therefore, it
would be the part of wisdom und patriotism iu
the Whigs (by which I mean those who have
affiliated with no othor party) to throw their
votes for Mr. Buchanan as the strongest or the
cuujjidates opposed to tho,Northern sectional
party. This they may do without renouncing
their old political faith, without stain of honor
or suspicion of apostaoy. The motive being
the integrity of the Union, the defeat of a party
which is founded on geographical discriranations
amt bound together by dangerous sectional
Hchemesthe act will be vindicated byjdissntcrest-
ed patriotism.
For rny part, I shall not abjure my political
creed, and, having in view but tho one object
which I have stated, 1 shall hold myself ready
to take any other course which may bo necessa
ry to effijot that bbjoot. Should tho hopes of
Mr. Fillmore’s friends bo realized ; should it
appear tliut lie is moro likely to carry the groat
body of the patriotic, but quiet people, who
gencarlly come to tho rescue in times of public
peril; that he is, in short, the best able
to subdue this storm of sectional passion
and prejudice, 1 shall rejoice to see him again
filling tho clmir of State. Rut 1 will notaffect
an unalloyed gratification ; for 1 cannot forget
that lie is Uie candidate of a party which had
proscribed Whigs who aro not members of "the
order”—of a party which boasted that it hna
risen on the ruins of the Whig and Democratic
parties, and which has pronounced both of
them corrupt.
Whatever tho result, I shall bo content ir tho
dangerous excitement which threatens our
peace mid union can be calmed down, so that
tho extremo opinions which have their roots in
prejudice and passion may wither away. Then
u liberal fot-lwaninco und kindly toleration of
different sentiments may resume tlioir inflncnce.
If this cannot be doqc, if the South und the
North are to regard oho another as enemies,
then sooner or later our "house,divided agaiust
itself,” must fall. Thou we shall have to
with Punthciia—

To the Hon. J. II. Franklin.
the * vote of Missouri from being given to Bit-
ebanau—Fremont’s only real competitor. This
opinion was founded ilia good degree on the
fact that most of Bouton’s iirgUfnenti lu favor
of Buchanan were precisely such us were like
ly to. do him an Injur)*. Witness the use to
which some of those arguments have been ap
plied by Buchansn’s opponents iu this State.
Wo have before us it speech of Ueuton, in
which ho stoutly deuius this charge. Let him
have the benefit of the denial, if it be worth
anything. Here lire some extracts:
"Ho would only say that hu was opposed to
the movements hi favor of Fremout lor u whole
year before you knew anything about it—be
fore yon cveu thought tlmt Fremont would be a
candidate.”
This docs not signify very much. Ho may
have very well been opposed to Fremont’s can
didacy. Aud yet uow that lie Is a candidate
desire his election.
We quote a little further, simply remarking
that as Benton has been introduced as the wit*
ness of Mr. Buchinmn's opponents, they of
course will not bo permitted to gainsay his tes
timony. Here is what he says of the Demo,
cratlc nominee and his prospects in Missouri.
It wilt bo observed that he speaks in the third
instead of tiie first person. "Benton*’—not
I.”
Benton hud refined to b* a candidate uuti
he saw that a man would be nominated in Cin
cinnati who would be President of tbe whole
country, not of a section or faction. He hud
known Mr. Buchanan long—they had entered
Congress together—and felt assured from Ids
knowledge of Ills character that he would uct
for the good of tho whole country, if elected ;
and of his select ion he felt no earthly doubt.
The letter of Ids acceptance confirmed his
opinion. In Unit letter Mr. Uuehumui pledged
himself to use nil the powers of the office if lie
should be elected President, to restore harmony
which existed before the fatal apple ol discoi d
—in tiie shape of Slavery agitation—lmd been
rolled iu among the people.
He (Renton) had contradicted several lies
against ldtnself—lie would uow contradict u lie
which wa* circulated against Buchanan; and
that was that lie had said if lie had a drop of
democratic blood in his veins ho would let it
out. Buchanan never said so. Twenty years
ago he (Benton) asked him about that story,
and Buchanau told him that there was not a

Washington, August 7.
Missouri.'—The rcturn» from Missouri show
that iu six Counties, Ewing, the Krow Noth
ing cundidate for Governor, has an aggregate
majority of 1,700. Polk, Democrat, has iu five
Counties, 1,000 majority.
Beuton’s prospects are declining. Missouri
bus elected two American, and six Democratic
Judges.
Kentucky—The Democrats liuve carried
Kentucky by several thousand majority.
Three cheers for Kentucky I
The telegraph, which usually does the host it
outi for the Americans, concedes a Democratic
victory in Kentucky by several thousands!!
That is enough—und more than we dured to
hope. Lust year the Know Nothing majority
for Governor was 4,403. The Democratic gniu
since that timo has probably been from five to
ton thousand. In November, when Buchanan
and tho galluut Crittenden (Kentucky’s favor
ite son since tho death of Clay) are up for tho
suffhiges of her citizens, she will unqueatlonn*
bly go Democratic by a large majority.
authority for contradicting it.
Fears were expressed that the vote of Mis
souri would be lost to Buchanau, as there were
two Buchanan electoral tickets iu the field.
There was no danger. I f the other State ticket
which pretended to be for Buchanan, gut fewer
votes than tho ticket which was headed by
Benton, let its electoral ticket be withdrawn,
and if it got more let it stand, and the origual
Buchanau electoral ticket would be withdruwu
There was uo danger, then,for even if his ene
mies, who voted seventeen times against him
in the Convention insisted upon keeping their
ticket in the field, after they were beaten in
August, tho people would cry it down, for they
would not permit such an outrage to Ik* con
summated.
Florida Volunteer*
Inspector General Churchill fenders 4 a
bad accouut of tho volunteer force iu Florida.
Most of their time isspent ut their homes, and
they are no mure effective than if never muster
ed into tiie public service.— ICaihington
Letter.
We should like to know wlmt iicamut tbe
General renders of the regular " force in Flo
rida.” Just about the only successful lighting
done uud captures made, since the commence
ment of hostilities, of which any "account!
ims reached tiiesc parts, was the work of tiie
voluntcccra. We think well of the regular
army, and despise tiie demagogues who liuve
attempted to array popular prejudices ngaiurt
it aud its officers. Rut there is ono service for
which wo are convinced that it is ill adapted.
That is fur fighting Hcminoies amid the swamps
aud morasses of Florida. " As well set a wag
gon and team t * catching mbits” is the simile
of tiie late Guv. Duval-and an upterone lie
never uttered.
Disintkguation Inevitable.—TIip Balti
more Patriot says:
We contend that nothing but Hie choice of
Millard Fillmore, whose conservatism, modera
tion, Impartiality, firmness of character, ami
statesmanlike qualities,which lmve been proved
by past experience, can save the Republic from
disintegration.
If tlmt be so, then "disintegration” is inevi
table, for Mr. Fillmore stands uo more chance
of an election than the editor of the Patriot.
Geumans of Syuacuse.—At a meeting held
last week by the Germans of Syracuse, it was
Resolved, That we the German Democrats of
Syracuse, do most heartily mid warmly approve
ot the nomination of James Buchannu and John
C. Brcokiuridgo for tiie offices of President uud
Vico President, as well ns the nominations
nude to-day in our State Convention, and that
we will support the said mnn illations with all
our strength aud influence.
.1 bushy in a Blaze.—The Jersey Blues, are
wide awake. Never probably since the organi
zation of political parlies in this country, lias
there been so determined and active feeling
displayed as may now lie witnessed by our
Democrats friends in New Jersey. They uro
at work evdry where. They allow nothing to
interfere with their political duties, but plunge
into the vely midst of the political maelstrom,
uud hurl defiance at ull foes. The Fillmore
men are no where, the Black "Republicans”
are k cowcd, while the Democracy move along
with tho force of u mighty steam engine, carry
ing fear and dosolution into tho ranks of all
foes.—New York News,
Meeting of Council Inst Night.
A petition from Young America Fire Com
pany, No. 5. praying to have their engine, Ac.,
of|which they Imd been deprived by tiie action

state of the matters in controversy, introduced
by Aldennuii Basinger, was adopted, with tho
concluding resolution, which is us follows :
" Ue it therefore Resolvud, Tlmt this Board
