miserable band of fanatics who voled 10 receive
this resolution, were FILLMORE, adams, d'2'
dinss, Corwin, Slade, &C.
These TWO votes, 50 different in their character,
given by Fillmore on the same day. most iof'u'
natey Tor the people Of the Soulh' show his de'er'
mined hostility 10 slavery. He had voted, marx
YOU, aeains, suspendng the rule for the reception
OF The resolutions OF Mr.. Wise. which set iorlh
The rights OF the South, but in te,c hours, nc
| voted Tor The reception Of the Infamous lesoiu
| inns of The fanatic hale, thus showing that ne
was not opposed 10 suspending The rules al al
lines for the reception OF resolutions, but only
when those resolutions, like Messrs. Patton's and
Wise's, declared and sci forth the rights OF Inc
| South.
He is found thus discriminating between The
resolutions, turning his back upon Wise and me
| South, ready to embrace The wild hooii'ioniS'
Slade, and receive his resolution. 80,
We have thus followed This man Fillmore
through one session OF Congress and partially
4
time lraernizing again and again with lhcst
whose names have been delested by every Soulh
ern man. We have seen him, when an opportunity
was offered, turning cold shoulder 10 the SCUM
| hut ALWAYS ready 10 aid the iana.ical crew WIN
whom we have touGd him associated. Ihousf
The aboli.ioniss, during The period which we have
passed over, carried their hostility farther mar
thew had ever done TO the South, still in no IN
| stance did they 60 too far Tor Miliard Fillmore
| When the abominable character oil some oil ihei
| resolutions reduced their number 10 lean mi
| norily of SO or 90, still Millard Fillmore stoot
firm with Adams, Giddings g. Co. Whilst WI
have thus produced SO many instances OF Inc ia
palicism Of this man, where is there on record
| single instance in which he voted with the South
lnnumerable instances may be found OF olhe
Northern members OF Congress uniting will
the South to check the fanatics Of the North, bu
point to one instance in which this Millard Fill
more did so. Consider, too, that OF the hVe Oh
six years during which he was member o
Congress, we have given his abors but for one
and half years in behalf of the Aboltionists
The records OF lS40-4l-'42 are not before US
We may hereafter continue our examination
| and lay open other services Of Fillmore 10 The
Abolitionists, hardly inferior TO those which We
have already given. After these plain and un
adorned proofs have been given TO the people
of the utter unsoundness of Fillmore, how car
they rely upon him, Let the people of ths
| South remember, that they are enlsting them
selves blndly to man who, as President Of III
| Senate may give the casting pote against III
| South upon hs question Of Slavery. Tina
whilst you have evidence, most conclusive il
| its character, of the association of this mar
Fillmore with the most dangerous fanatics, we
| have no pledge from him that he would be true
| 10 the South You know what he has been
| YOU have not heard that he has altered his OPT
Mons since he was in Congress. Would you
then haze ooted FIR him for The Vice Presidency?
If not then, why now? You can assign no reason
| for it, unless you confess that party ties are
stronger than regard for the prosperity Of ths
| IIn;on nr Q. faiy ~f eouth. rou have, IN add
| ton 10 what we have just shown you about Fill
more, his votes Upon the ATHERTON RESO
| LUTIONS. In addition to this, the appended
extract tfrom the Philadelphia "Daily News,"a
Wing paper) will show upon what grounds be
| is supported at the North:
| THE FREE SOIL MovEMENT.-Like our respect.
cd contemporary Defrees, Of the Indiana State Journal
we claim be much opposed to the extension of sa
as ean BE css Ao
! HIMSELF, AS GEN. CaSS HAS TO VETO ANY
MEASURE PASSED BY CONGRESS. EXCLUDING
I SLAVERY FROM TERRITORY NOW FREE, WE
| COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT GIVE HIM OUR
| SUPPORT. BUT GEN. TAYLOR Is OPPOSED TO
THE EXERCISE OF THE VETO POWER. He has
taken his position upon the Republican platform Of
bowling In submission TO the will Of the people, as
pressed through their representatives IN Congress-
Hence we shall feel ourselves safe in case of his cleo
l ton TO the Presidency.
| THE SLAVE AND FREE STATES ARE NOW
4 EQUALLY DIVIDED IN THE SENATE. IT WILL
| PROBABLY DEVULVE ON THE VICE PRESI-
DENT To GIVE THE CASTING VOTE ON ONE
| SIDE OR THE OTHER. ELECT WILLARD FILL
/ MORE, AND THE CASTING VOTE WILL BE Gil
| VEN in FAVOR OF FREEDOM. ELECT GENE.
! RAJ BUTLER, AND 1T WILL BE GIVEN FOR
! SLAVERY.
Let all those who, like ourselves, are opposed 10 sa-
| us that they must decide the SAFEST COURSE is
| TO VOTE FOR TAYLOR, IN PREFERENCE TO
| CASS, AS ONE OR TIE OTHER WILL BE THE
| NEXT PRESIDENT.
