FY7NG zstttiry and murder by Negroes in terms
shocking to all sense Of asc, order and humanity -
The attention of every honest and impartial citizen
is earnestly invoked to a consideration of the sub
Joined t" facts from the record" These indisputable
facts show conclusvely, if other evidence were
wanting, that Fillmore symPathizes with the enemies
of the South and not left in the dark as to what
we may expect from him in of his election to
the Vice Presidency should the subject of slave
ry in the District of Columbia in the Territories,
be placed in such position that the vote of the
President of the Senate would determine it for or
against the South. We krloeU that Fillmore is in ia
of aboshing slavery in the District of Columbia
we kloau that he is in favor of the Wilmot Provi-
so and knoIc that If he is consistent with his past
life, his administration will be in opposition South

Let the people pause ere they commit themselves
to the support of such man .. ...-...,- -a -
Some time in the year 1910 Al, brig named
the Creole sailed from the Virginia coast bound to
New Orleans, having on board number of slaves.
While at sea- the negroes mutlned, murdered some
the whole of the crew. and then escaped to of
the West India Islands, where they were protected
and sheltered by the authorities The outrage call
ed for the interposion of our Government, and the
matter the subject of negotiation between the
British Government and our own. While things
were in this condition, that enemy of good order,
Joshua r. Giddings, introduced in the House, the
21st March, 1912, string of nine resolutions, jus
ying the rising Of the negroes, approving the murder
of the creIU, the escape of the saUes, and the refusal of
the authorities of Nassau TO surrender the mtsrderers
the demand Of Government! AS might be expect
ed these relentless and reasonable resolutions threw
the House into the greatest excitement, and called
forth indignant eXclamations from Southern members.
Nor these expressions of adherence confined to
Southern members. Mr.. Horace Everett, whg from
Vermont, expressed "his utter adherence of the
re-band course of the gentleman from Ohio,'' Mr..
Giddings. Mr.. Caleb Gushing, whig from Mas
sachusetts denounced the resolutions &c treasona-
be,'' and as containing 'ta British argument a
great public question between this country and Great
hooa
the orthern Wings condemning him, and the reso-
lutions being within his CONTROL he withdrew them.
This move did not quiet the excitement, and on the
State of Virginia being called for resolutions, Mr.
Boris, then and a distinguished whig member
of Congress from Virginia. rose and 's said the with
drawal of the resolutions did affect the motive
or object with which they were presented" He
then asked leave to offer resolution, which was
read, for the Information of the House.
| From the facts grouped together by Mr.. Bolts,
an unpreiudiced mind would think there could be
no op position to the resolution. But so. Those
who syml athized with Gidd;ngs, among whom was
Fillmore, ATTEMPTED to embarrass the House by rais
ing points of order, and appeals from the decision of
the Speaker These tricks resisted, and the
| House finally brought to a direct vote the
subject not, however, until after there had been
fusal by the house suspend the rules, and the
olution had been again offered by Mr.. WELLER, a
democrat from Ohio, and the democratic cand-
date for Governor of that State. On the 22d of
March, the matter taken up and the question be-
ing the adoption of the resolution follows:
| sResolved, That this House holds the conduct of
