Mr.. FILLMoRE-THE pro,,

A week or two since we published sn..DU
cred in the House of Representatives Il ,oa Oer,
Millard Fillmore, in which he took tho 0'o' BY
he was interested in the " claim to Dron.S, tat
inthe District Of Columbia-that his copsti,n' ~ an'
lieved, he did, Slavery to be improuer s"s
ing of the institution in the District nf "u ~ spea
he said it "shouM NOT. be tolerated. 1h;' 0nSt
was delivered on the occasion of preseDtin~ "peeS
consideration of the House; petition D,as %, %Se
Slavery may be abolished in said District Sa
The Register, seeing that something mIo,,
in the premises, comes forward to defend a. O04
of Mr.. Fillmore. And how dc you suppo.o - '0H's
per treats the question! Why it garbL, IL. ~a'
on that occasion publishes those portions of.
appear to favor Southern rights, and SUPPRESS, "aS
parts of it which mark the author as an 4ho,;. Aa
Dare that paper deny this charge? OnN!
For the information of the public We aua;0
the whole of Mr. Fillmore's Speech in Isa5.r r'0A@
"Mr. Fillmore said 1t was not unreason.r
the memorial should be printed and preservoS St
the documents of the House. He disavo~u.SSNONs
unequivocally, now and forever, any des;,e nas
part to interfere with the rights, or what wsa W
the property of the citizens of other States tTgT
he did this, he conceived thatas citizen of mhla
u
interested in the claim to property in man WIKI ~ va
District of Columbia. He referred to the eso.l
was produced in the North by the adverisemoS"a Saa
the papers of this city connected with tho n""
and transportation of slaves. ThepeopIe of tbatsa"
of the country believed slavery to be improDos@
that Il should not be tolerated This was gnatS aa
tional question. There was nothing In the T~E;
which should prevent its being printed and N nIn'
on the files of the House for future reference T e
ever petitions should be presented here from b
holding States of different tenor, and which M
advocate the establishment or continuance of Y
markets in this District and city, if they could .Gs
the people of other sections that this was prma'
willing that each party should be fully heard and
each should have the privilege ofspreading theirvs
before the people generally"
! The Register cannot plead, as an excuse, thatS,
speech was too long to Publish-it does not e,.s
thirty lines. Instead, however, of publishing "
Filmores remarks at length, so that its readers cm
see and Judge for themselves, the Editor ODo.
the two last sentences, beginning with "wheneys,
and ending with GO generally ''-and he quotes fl,
sentence also in flaming capitals " He disavORs-
most unequivocally, now and forever, any desn
his part to interfere with the rights, or what VA
termed the property of the citizens of other Sat
This is all he publishes. Was there ever a grOssa
a more palpable attempt to deceive4
The Register, after making these quotations and
suppressing the balance of the speech, asks if aG
genuity OF malice can invent any thing like Opoii
ton to tho South in this ?'' We " triumphanty )"
says that paper, ''d defy the powers of either to Gs
task" We meet the Editor on his own ground u
from the very passages he has deemed it prudtaa
lay before his readers, shall convict MI. Filmm
of having deliberately insulted the Shareholders
the South. Mark what we say, and follow as Vt
prOue it: In one of the passages quoted by the Re
lister, Mr.. Fillmore says, "whenever petitions shall
be presented here from the Slaveholding States ti
different tenor, and which might advocate the T.
tablishment or continuance of SIaSe Markets in iI
District and City, if they could satisfy the peOpkd
other sections that this was proper, he would zeal
their petitions with respect" What does hisimPyl
Who thinks of s' advocating the establishment d
Stare Markets''2 Is it not already lawful to blf
sell, and hold Slaves in the District of Coumbsl
The District of Columbia is-a '' SIGUe Market
is the language OF Mr.. Fillmore; in 1885, towards
the South Again: Mr.. Fillmore says: 81 d&
VOW, most unequivocally, now and forever, any DE-
sire to interfere with therights, eUhdt is termed
! property of the Southern States.' Our slaves an
kindly % termed' our property! And in another Paf
of his remarks, not quoted by the Register, he sps
of our "c1aim" to ''property in man." Who thad'
him, or Daniel Webster, or John P. Hale, for sayE
they will not interfere with Slavery in the ShtsI
What credit does he deserve for declaring that SS
neither robber nor Plunderer, faithlesS TO S
oath of Office? ,....
The Register shall have enough of this matie@ BE-
fore the election in November. We hGvc the pr"5@
hand that AiLnrd Fillmore s. an 4bolfstonist Gs
Wilrnot PrOvisOist Of the real, OIdfashiOned Fsdcd
stamp and intend to show, as clearly as that Il"
and two make four, that no Southern man, who d
true to himself, to the land of his birth, and to
posterity, can support him for Vice President.
