We extract the following communication
from an OUin correspondent to the New

AVe uivitc the serious attention of our South
ern readers of all parties to this important
and pregnant circumstance :
roY-rSpondence of the N. Y. Tribune,
Columbus', Tuesday, July 22, 1.856.
The Border-Ruffian- Democrats of this
nlv and vicinity, aided slightly by the Old
T inf. WhVs, held a Fillmore ratification
meeting m this city, on the evening of r ri-
fill 1 1 . 1 IV, A u -v I IMn

ay l ist. l lie reniarMiuiP ickuiics- im mc
ineeting were, that the whole affair had been
nit :inrlrietl before hand by the Democrats.
I'lic Statesman had urged it on, publishing
the notice?. &c. The resolutions were
drawn up by a leading Buchanan man, and
ill the npplause and enthusiasm came from
that party, which was represented by Sam
Cox, former editor of the Statesman. J. P.
Slough, Secretary of .the Democrat State
Central Committee, and others equally well
known as strong Loco-Focos.
These men not only made themselves
conspicuous in the meeting by applauding
the speeches, but actually voted with the
Fillmore men, endorsing the resolutions in
the heartiest manner. This was more es
pecially noticeable iir regard to Mr. SJough.
who yielded himself up to the wildest and
most vehement enthusiasm whenever Fill

Thus proof upon proof accumulates that
the contest throughout the Northern States
is -exclusively and emphatically between
Fillmore and Fremont ! Buchanan hard
ly heard of in the race his friends. are de
serting him by thousands everywhere the
free-soilish poFtion going over to Fremont
ami the conservative portion going over to
Fillmore. In view of this now established
and solemn fact, what is the first great duty
of Southern Democrats? Will they con
sent, under the selfish instructions and pet
ty dictation of their party leaders and man-,
airers, to be driven to throwing away their
votes upon Buchanan, when it is evident
that every vote given to Fremont ? Do they
not see is it not as clear as the sun in the
lleav-cns that Buchanan is not in the con
test, and that, n? patriots and lovers of their
country, they are compelled-'-to- choose be
tween Fremont and Fillmore ? - That con
clusion reached, as it must be by all consid
erate and retlccting men, is it notthe bound
ed duty of Southern Democrats to sacrifice
their party predilections in this important
crisis for the sake of the Constitution and
the rights of the South, and to rally,- as one
mm, to the cordial and enthusiastic support
of Fillmore the only man in the. -.field who

Tats to be wasting their energies in doing

man who is virtually not in the field when
those energies should be directed to the

and to tlie unholdinjr of mir nntinil I

Millard Fillmore. We beg them to consid
er well the consequences of their adhering
to Buchanan, when all hope of his election
is clearly gone when the contest is nar
rowed down, in the judgment of all candid
and sagacious men, to Fillmore and Fre
mont. Should Fremont unfortunately be
elected President, his election will he the
shameful and arlarming result of having
thrown away your votes upon Buchanan;
and the responsibility for that result must
necessarily rest upon .your heads ! We in
voke you to be warned in time, or you will
have te endure the mortification hereafter
of having heen the principal agents in the
elevation to the Presidency of a Black Re
publican ! Iet not your selfish and desper
ate party leaders drive you to that whivh
you will regret the longest day of vonr lives.
Vote for Fillmore, and you wit! elect him,
and heat Fremont, and in that reflection, if
you are at soii patriots, you will find a con
solation that passeth all understanding.
Not only in Ohio is this stampede from
Buchanan taking place. Witness the pro
ceedings of a Democratic Convention at
Syracuse. New York, last week, when it
was determii.cd by the delegates there as
sembled to go over to Fremont in a body
thus reducing the Buchanan forces in the
E'.r.pire sate almost to a corporal's guard.
In short, in only two or three Northern
States is there any Buchanan electoral tick
et ; and it is extremely doubtful whether
there will be any in a large majority of
them. The friends of Fillmore have al
ready organized electorial tickets in twenty
five States of the Union fifteen Southern
and ten Northern and electorial tickets will
soon be put forth in the remaining six. It
is thus plainly seen that the Buchanan party
is fast falling to pieces all over the Union ;
that there is no earthlv chance of old Buck
carrying a single Northern State ; and that
the only vote he will get will be the vote-of
two or three Southern States, that would as
soon vote for one. man as another, provided
he called himself a Democrat, and was the
nominee of the party. On the other hand,
Mr. Fillmore is daily and rapidly gaining
strength in every section of the Union ; he
will certainlv carry some six or eiohtNorth
ern States and some six or eigjit Southern ;
a-nd will thus be placed so far.ahead, as to
require only two or three more" to make his
election by. the people sure. Southern De
mocrats have it in their power to give him
these two or three more Southern States,
the votes of which; if they do not go for
Fillmore, ivill be thrown away upon Bu
chanan,1 and probably ensure the success of
Fremont. In this view of the case, we
again appeal to ouf Southern Democratic
friends to pause and deliberate, before they
determine to- absolutely waste their votes
upon Buchanan. There is no use in giving
your votes to Buchanan he is out of the
question rbut you are reduced to the alter
native of choosing between Fillmore and
Fremont. Patriots! Virginians! men cf
the South ! which one of these two men
will you vote for? That is the question
the only question which is now left you
o decide, Who is your choice ? Is
Fillmore, or is Fremont. Rich.. Triisr.

A Loud Endorsement!
Hear the President of the Cineifiatti Conrealion !!
In April, 1854, Mr. Fillmore visited Sa
vanah. The municipal welcome was ex
tended to him by Hon. John E, WardT
who was then" Mayor of the 'city, and as
our readers know, afterwards President of
the Cineinatti Convention which nominat
ed7 Mr. Buchanan. The eulogy on Mr. Fill
more's administration is by far superior to
any we have seen, in its concentrated and
pregnant eloquence. . Here it is : i
4 Mr. Fillmore : 'With 'unfeigned pleas
lire I perform the 'duty assigned inc of wel
coming you to the city of Savanah. Whilst
the events which mark your administra
tion of the Government are of too recent
date to be discussed without arrousing
passions, which, on this occasion, should
be hushed to rest, wo must all remember
that t!i ose high and solemn trusts were not
assumed by you in the sunshine of our
ros-perity.' It was at a dark and eventful
period in the history of our Government
When tile 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 fac
tions that Agitated our land, and men'ssem
ed to reck not how wildly raged the storm,
so that in its fury it upturned tha institu
tions of the South.
It was your lot to breast that storm,
and bid its mutleTmg 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 office as witlra panop
oly of ice, you wrapped yourself from all
the prejudices of earlier ears, and from all
the temptations which then surrounded you.
4k Unterrified by threats, - nawed by the
clamours, you held on yonr steady course,"
preserved the constitution of your country,
gave peace to the country we love, and re
pose to the institutions we cherish illus
tratingtu the world that "peace has its vic
tories no less renowned than war."x ;It is
fit and proper, now, when you have laid a-
side place and power and patronage- tlyit
the .affections of a. greatful people should
follow you to your home, and linger around
you in your retirement. As the constituted
authorities of the city of Savanah, we wel
come you to our hosp.talities, as a portion
of her citizens, we welcome yon to our
hearts." 4
On the day following, Mr. Fillmore was
honored with an aquatic excursion, during
the festevities of which, the same eloquent
eulogist offered the following sentiment :
" Our Distinguished Guest. Raised up
bv Providence to be the ruler of a nation,
To this toast three cheers. were proposed
by Solomon Cohen, the present Democrat
ic Postmaster of Savanah !

dent a aforesaid, did'nt tell two or -three of
the biggest fibs ever. fabricated, Mr, Fillmore
is preeminently the man for the South and
'the Nation ! Montgomery Mail,

On the lGth of August 1852, the Stand

tribute, to the character am,! patriotism of

Buchanan forever to consign him to im
mortal infamy. And yet the degraded

The American papers have puh!ishrd a
letter oT Gen. Jackson's dated -February 28,
1845, in which he no, only charged Mr,
Buchanan with moral cowardice but explicit
ly ta ted that Mr. Buchanan excited his in
dignation in 1825 by trying to induce him to
enter into an affair of bargain and corruption
with Mr. Clay. And pray how do the
Buchanan papers meet this terrible and dam
ning development made in Gen. Jackson's
letter? Why, they meet it by getting that
weak but well-meaning man, the old hero's
adopted, son, to say tliat he disapproves the
publication of his father's letter J

is what his letter to Gen. Jackson said about
Mr. Buchanan :

Buchanan's supporters think that the force
of Gen. Jackson's letter is mitigated by the
remarks of General Jackson's distinguished
friend to whom it was written, .they: are
abundantly welcome to the mitigation.
It is amazingly easy, in the light ofdetel
opments since mane, to see why:Mr. Buch
anan took occasion to declare in 18t5 to
Judge Mangum of the Senate that he did
not believe and- never had believed there
was any truth in the charge of bargain and
corruption against Mr. Clay.
Mr. Mangum was a confidential friend, a
bosom friend of Mr. Clay more -intimate
with Mr. Clay than any oVher Senator was.
Mr. Buchanan knew and agonizingly felt
himself to be entirely at Mr.. Clay's mercy.

of facts with which he could at any moment
crush him and which he had threatened to
publish, and which he had been -deterred
from publishing only by the most earnest,
pitiful, abject, and humiliating entreaties.
lie knew, too, that. Mr. Clay had broken off
all personal intercourse with him and was
in the habit of denouncing him on all prop
er occasions for his dishonorable and most
shamelul conduct jn the Prcsidentral can
vass of 1844 in Pennsylvania. " " 1
Knowing all 'these ' things, he trembled
daily and hourly, lest the revelation", which
he had so long prevented Mjr. Clay from
making should be made. Being no longer
permitted lo hold intercourse with Mr. Clay,
Jiis only plan was to seek out Mr. Clay's
peculiar personal friends and make protes

statesman for the mollification of his wrath
and indignation.
