"How will the Germans Vote."
"We look on the statements of the Repub
lican Organs in the West and North on the
subject of the German vote as having no ac
tual foundation in fact"
"The Germans are democrats both in edu
cation anld habits, and will never leave their
party to follow some sentimental absurdity,
which cannot stand the test of reason."--L
Courier.
We perfer to let the Germans speak for
themselves. There is a slight possibility,
not that the Courier is mistaken in regard to
the fact of the Germans belonging to the
Democratic party, but that he does not fully
appqphend their ideas of what constitutes de
mocracy, nor appreciate the extent of their
defection from the party.
Mr. Philip Dorshiemer at Pittsburgh ad
dressed a political assembly, making these
emphatic statements.
"It was now nearly forty years since he
first came to this country, and he little
thought at that time that in the course of
torty years he would be calked to aid in stop.
ping theaggressions of slavery. He had belong
edo to the Democratic party nearly the whole time,
and he never discovered that enything in the
Democratic creed sanctioned the extension of
slavery. If that was in their creed he never
found it out.
People did not know the German character if
they suppose that they were not opposed to the ex
of slavery. They might be deceived by the
name of Democracy, but when the question
came on this subject they meet it upon the
right side.
Mr. John A. Grim, an editor of a German
paper in Illinois, lately delivered a speech in
which the following pregnant paragraph oc
curs:
The Germans were willing to join any party
that will aid them to freedom to liberty and fr.e
soil, and pat an end to slavery. They have
fought for liberty sword in hand, in Ger
many. .ad were willing to flght forjjit here.
When the Germans heard that there was a
new party raised for freedom, they said,
that is the party for us-we will join that
and flght for it till death."
-Mr. Schneider, another editor of another
Geia paper in Illinois, is quite as enthusi
astic agn ermined in his advocacy of opin
ions hosts the South.
"I can tell he said, "that no part of
the population ipre devoted to freedom
than the German ipipe. And I have further
to say, that the Germanrin Illinois endorse
the nomination and platform with all their
heart and soul. I intend to work to bring
every German in the country, if possible, to
support the nominations and the platform.
I have no doubt that Mr. Freamont will receive
the Majority of the German sotes in the Union.
A majority of the German papers have al
ready come out in favor of him and they all
hope for the success of our glorious candida
tes. They hope for success, because the
questioni at issue is one of vast importance to
the German citizens of this great country.
We look upon the strug'le as between slave
labh. and free labor, and a triumph of free
labor is of vital importance to the Germans
in the United States. I think we shall tri
umph. 1 think I can say that the Prairie
States will give at least two thousand major
ity for Fremont."
These extracts might be extended, were it
neccessary, in order to show the true posi
tion of the Germans in this canvass, and to
convince the public that their settled opinions
at all times, are decidedly sectional.
The Courier quotes a respectable list of
German papers which still support Mlr.
Buchanan. If the list given proved that no
journals of influence had deserted Mr. Buc
hanan, their would be reason "to disbelieve
the assertion" that the Germans were not to
be relied on by the Democracy. Butlook at
the facts. We are told the Staats Zeitung,
of New York, still carries the banner of
Buchanan and Breckenridge. True; and
The Abend Zeitung; The Staats Democrat;
The New York City; The Neue Zeit; The
Buffalo Telegraph; The Aligemeinn Zeitung
The Albany Freie Blatter; The Onondage
Demokrat; The Pioneer; The Atlantis and
The Beobachter von Genesse have deserted
Mr. Buchanan, and now fight for free soil and
Fremont. Is this no indication gf the opin
ions and position 'of the Germans of New
York ?
In Pennsylvania the following leading Ger
man papers have entered the canvass against
Pennylvania's honored son, who now leads
the Democratic host:-The Pniladelphia
Freie Piesse; The Pittabuerger Courier;
he Pittsburger Freibeitefreund; The Ame
ricanischer Beobachter; The Lebanon Dem
okrat; The Erie Zusehauer; The Vatherian
dswechter; The Volksfeund & Beobachter;
The Doylestown Morgenstern; The Phila
delphia Wochenblatt; The Unsere Welt.
This array is pregnant with consequences
disassstrous to the aspirations of Mr. Buchan
an. It proves his own States to be the seat
of a revolution in the democratic party.
The Courier sets down the Cleveland
Courier; The Cincinnati Valksfriend and
The Columbus Welbote for Buchanan. It is
true; but here we find the following journals
have deserted the Cincinnati nominees:
The Cincinnati Volksblatt ; The Cincinnati
Republikaner; The Turnzi etung; The Sand
dusky Intelligenzblatt; The Toledo Express
The Hochwaechter; The Rakete; The Ohio
Stoats Zeitun The peobebhter, Dayton;
The Waechteram Erie, Cleveland,-a fear
ful array of desertion, which should give con
fidence to the assertion that the Germans
were not simply abolitionists but were deter
mined to reduce their principles to practice,
through the dissolution of the Union itself be
the consequence.
In Michigan. the Demokrat supports Buch
anan, the Journal advocates Fremont.
In Illinois, The Chicago National Democ
ratic ; Peoria Banner; The Quincy Courire
support Mr. Buchanan, while The Illinois,
Staats Zeituug; The Belleville Zeitung; The
Belleville Volksbatt; The Quincy Journal;
The Vorwerts Galens, are zealous for Fre
mont.
In Iowa, the entire German press-The
Dubuque Staats Zeiteng; The Davenport
Demokrat: The Burlington Freie Presse-
support Fremont.
We append in a tabnlar form the position
of the German journals in other States, which
shows the same astonishing defection from
the Democratic party.

How the Courier or any honest mind can
doubt that the mass of Germans in the free
States are opposed to Mr. Buchanan, will ap
pear strange to the reader. All must feel
that it as the policy to seduce the South into
the support of Mr. Buchanan under the false
pretence that he alone can defeat the ticket
of sectionalism. Were it possible for such
-ounsel to prevail, the success of Fremont
would be secured. Mr. Buchanan is scarcely
know in the struggle now fearfully raging in
the free States. His weakness is actually
conceded not only by open admissions, but by
the action of Northern Democratic Senators
who hast to abandon the principles of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill.
Wherever any class of naturlized citizens,
or the open advocates of sectionalism, sustain
the Democrotic ticket, the avowed reason for
it is that given by Mr. Julien of Indiana.
Mr. Julien, who was a candidate for Vice
President, on the ticket, with the apolitionist,
John P. Hale, was asked why was it, that
being an avowed abolitionist, he could favor
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise ?
His answer was, I am opposed to the in
stitution of slavery, East, West, North and
South, and so long as the Missouri Comprom
ise had existed, it wasan admission that South
of said line slavery could, legally, be main
tained,
It is time. with these facts before us, for
all who pretend to be friends of the Union
and friends of thr Souto, to speak out plainly.
The contest is between Freemont and Fill
more. It is a struggle for the perpetuation
or toe dissolution of the Union. The foreign
vote is for dissolution-It is hostile to the
South. Can he be a friend of the South who
is an advocate of Anti-Amer!canism?
The Democratic Reflector, published at
Hamilton, N Y., pulls down Buchanan and
runs up Fremont. It says: "Our attach
ment to the Democratic party has been ar
dent and lile long, and while we reluctantly
withdraw from the support of the nominees
of that party which professes to be Democrat
ic, we nevertheless are thoroughly convinced
that we are supporting still those irinciples
which were the landmarks of the party dur
ing the administration of the early Democrat
ic Presidents.
RrEUBLIoAas COMING OVER TO THE NA
TIonAL PaXTY.-The Pioneer, a Black Repub
lican paper in Wyandot county, Ohio, which
supported Chase for Governor last tall, is out
in a strong article against the election of Fre
mont. It declares its preference for Fill
more.
The Banner, another Fusion paper at West
Liberty, Logan county, Ohio, also refuses to
support Fremont, and goes in for Fillmore.
The Philadelphia Times, which strongly
urged the nomination of McLean by the Re
publicans, has abandoned the Freesoil move
ment and zealously suppoits Mr. Fillmore.
Glvas IT Ur.-The Washington correspon
dent of the New York Tribune of the 10th
inat, has this paragrh :
A Douglas man informed me to-day that
the Democratic party give up the election of
Buchanan.
The Fillmore fires do seem to be sweeping
over the country in a perfect blaze.
A Loud Endorsement.
Hear the President of the Ciiwi,nnati Conren
tion.-In April, 1854, Mr. Fillmore visited
Savannah. The municipal welcome was ex
tended to him by IIon. John E. Ward, who
was then Mayor of the city, and. as our rea
ders know, afterwards President of the Cin
cinnati Convention, which nominated Mr.
Buchanan. His eulogy on Mr. Fillmore's
administration is by far superior to any we
have seen, in its concentrated and pregnant
eloquence. Here it is:
" Mr. Fillmore : With unfeigned pleasure
I perform the duty assigned me of welcoming
you to the city of Savannah. Whilst the
events which mark your administration of
the governmeut are of too recent date to be
discussed without arousing passions, which
on this occasion should be hushed to rest, we
must all remember that those high and sol
emn trusts were not assumed by you in the
adnshine of our prosperity. It was at a dark
and eventful period ii the history of our
Government, "when the brave began to fear
the power of man, and the pious to doubt the
favor of God." Dark and fearful were the
clouds that hung on our horizon, violent the
factions that agitated our land, and men
seemed to reck not how wildly raged the
storm. so that in its fury, it upturned the in
stitutions of the South.
"It ras your lot to breast that storm, and bid
its mutterings cease, and to do that you must
turn away from the crowds of flatterers to
tread the lonely path of duty. With your
robes of ofcr as with a panoply of ice, you wrap
ped youarl f from all the prejadices of earlier
years, and from all the temptations which sar
rounded you, "Unterrfied by threats, unawed
by the claimorsyou held on your steady course,'
preserved the constitution of y.e country gave
peacc to the land we love and repose t the insti
tutions which we cherish illustrating to the world
that 'peace has its victories no less renowmed than
war.? It is fit and.proper, now, when you
have laid aside place and power and patron
age that the affections of a grateful people
should follow you to your home, a ,nd er
around you in your retirement. As t~on
stituted authorities of the city of Savannah,
we welcome you within her limits--. the
representatives of the people, we welcome
you to our hospitalities-as a portion of her
citizens, we welcome you to our homes and
our hearts."
On the day following, Mr. Fillmore 'a
honored with an aquatic excursion, durinibe
festivities of which, the same eloquent eulo
gist offered the following sentiment:
"Oca DlsTlnouIsunD G.Esr: Raised up
by Providence to be the ruler of a nation, he
scorned to become the ruler of a faction."
To this toast three cheers were proposed
by Solomon Cohen, Esq., the present Demo
cratic Postmaster of Savannah !
It would seem that, if Mr. Ward, President
as aforesaid, didn't tell two or three of the
biggest fibs ever fabricated, Mr. Fillmore is
pre-eminently the man for the South and the
Nation!
FILLoa. SPTarIT . ALABAMA.-The Mob
ile News has the following telegraphic dis
patch :
sstrgomsry, July 11.-The friends of Fill
more and Donaldson had a tremendous rally
last night, and the enthusiasm was up to the
highest pitch. Nothing like it since 1840.
Hilliard, Chilton, Watts and Baker. of Russel,
spoke. The crowd broke up at 1 o'clock
with loud and continued cheers for Fillmore
and Donaldson that made the "" welkin ring."
Macon is il a blaze.
Such is the report of the Montgomery meet
ingFrom Macon we have aletter giving a brief
account of the rally there. The writer says:
"I have seen no such enthusiasm since 1849,
when Mr. 1lilliard met and defeated Mr. Pugh
The whole affair was exceedingly brilliant.
Mr. Hiliard made the firstspeec%, Mr. Watts,
of Montgomery,followed, then Mr. Baker' of
Russel, and Judge Chilton closed. Macon
will give its former large majority for our
candidates. The cheering was hearty, and
had a tune of 1840 about it. On the 23d
there is to be a great gathering at Salem Rus
sel county."
Hilliard and Chilton have commenced in
good earnest; and, we learn, intend canvassing
the whole State. Never were men engaged
in a better cause and never did a cause have
ampler champions. The ball is rolling.
THEY ARE PASSING Away.-The Weekly
Tribune, a strong Democratic paper, publish
ed at Manitowoc, Wisconsin,has hauled down
the Buchanan flag, and declared its preference
for Col. Fremont. In its issue of July 3d, it
announces the fact, as follows: The name
of James Buchanan no longer floats from the
political masthead of this sheet. Next week
we shall enlist under the banner of Col. Fre
mont. and," sink or swim, live or die, survive
or perish," we shall feel a soldier's pride in
batling manfullp under his banner.
Ma. BUCHANAN AND THE MONaox DOCTRINE
-In the debate upon the Panama mission
Mr. Buchanan took strong grounds against
the Monroe doctine. -ThieCincinnati plat
form, upon which he just now perched, goes
not only the whole length of the Monroe
doctrine but several lengths beyond it. In
what earthly thing was he ever consistent?

There is a Fremont paper in Kentucky

The Washington correspondentof the Com

"Intelligent Democrats, from the North

the political excitement in that quarter are
very gloomy. In Ohio, they s, the feeling
is all in one way, and that tks tIthe-Dem
ocrats, Farther, they say, t.a.me feeling
appears to be very general throughout the
whule Northwest. There are sack.things..as
sudden popular impulses, which sweep away
old party barriers; and it is about time for
the recurrence of one of them. The very
belief that the public mind leans in favor of
any parts is apt to increase its strength, and
extend its influence. Thus Pennsylvania be
gips to feel the presence of anti-Buchanan
elements, and if the impression be permitted
to prevail, that Buchanan's chances are hope
less, he will be deserted with as little cere
mony as st he were a Franklin Pierce."
N, O. Bee.
A -
MR. EILLMORE.-The Kingston (Tenn.,)
Gazette, a Democratic raper, speaks of Mr.
Fillmore as follows:
With reference to Mr. Fillmore, as a man,
it is undoubtedly the best nomination the par
ty could have made. While he occupied the
Presidential chair, he threw off all sectional
ism and administered the government in ac
cordance with the provisions and spirit of the
Constitution, dealing out equal-handed j::ustice
to the North and to the South. He exhibited
his nationality by a warm and manly support
of the compromise measures. This was his
duty; and of doing it he deserves an ap
proving conscience and the reward of duty
well done.
ENDOKSaXENT OF t ILLMO.E AND DONrL
son.-Twenty three States were represented
in the American National Camp,in sessicn at
Philadelphia, on the 4th inst. W. J. Hamill,
oMaryland, presided. After the usual busi
ness of the annual session had been transac.
ted, a resolution was unanimously adopted
endorsing the nominations of Fillmore and
Donelson.
SsCTioNALIsm.-If sectionalism had never
had a moments existence, or the least foot
hold in thisconntry, prior to the. election of
Franklin Pierce and the assemblingot the 33d
Congress, this administration and the two
Congresses which have been otemporary
with it would have etablished it in the meet
virsaldet concilable degree. The meas
ures of ministration and its leaders in
Congress l been unsuccessfully directed
to one object-the aberration of the South
from the North-N. Y. Com. Adoertiser
Who is JAMEs BrCHANAS ?t-NO one, say
the New York Sun, will seriously ask " who
is James Buchanan ?" This is said with
much unction and evident satisfaction. W.ell,
it is pleasant, is it not, to have acandidate for
the Presidency at last, of whom somebody
had heard something beore he was nomina
ted ? But if it should happen that any one
should ask, "Who is James Buchanan -' you
can tell them at once and without stopping to
think about it, Why, be is the man who abused
lMadison and the war with England in a
Fourth of July oration in 1825,at a round rate.
He is th: man, who was feo times elected to
Congress as a Fedesalist. He is the man
who came to Henry Clay in 1825 and tried to
make a bargain with him, or at least held
out a tempting offer to him, viz: that he
should be Secretary of State if he would vote
for General Jackson; and he is the man who'
led the General to believe that Mr. Clay and'
l1r. Adams had made a corrupt bargain. He
is the man who heard this charge made, reit
erated, and the changes upon it rung all over
the country for fifteen or sixteen years, and
yet knowing it to be false, never denied it.
He is the man who said to General Clinch, ia
1s44, that he could make those Dutchmen in
Pennsylvania believe that Mr. Polk .aas a
better protective tariff man than Mr. Clay;
and he is the man who took the stump in
Pennsylvania in the fall of 1844, and by pledg
ing the honor of a gentleman to' the people of
that State that Mr. Polk was a better protec
tive tariff man than Mr. Clay,did make them
believe it, and vote fdr Mr. Polk, where
by they lost the tariff of 1842, and he got the
office of Secretary of tate. all of which he
knew beforehand would take place; and he
is the same man who said in a speech in the
Senate, that the best protection nismsfactur
era could have was low wages. Now, who
does not know who James Buchanan is?
