 party that they have cast tsiF principles overheard The selection of their candidates for President and Vice President shows papabIy their total abandon- ment of all principle and their desire to humbug the people. In order to coaciate the south, they have taken up man who has no earthly recOmmenda- ton but his popularity ss military leader. and the fact that he is sa re holder-whie, in order 10 ai- ;rac; tho vote of the northern abolitiOnsss, they have adopted Willard Fillmore ss their candidate for Vice President IL might be well for the people Of the south to examine into the character and the heretofore expressed opinions of the gentleman who is the whig candidate to hll he second office, and and who raay, in l6i0. be called upon to preside over the affairs of the natioa.
 Mr Fillmore is an aboliiionis,, "dycl in the wool !" By reference 10 ,he proceedings of Congress, pub lished in our paper of last week. while he was representative in that body from the State of New York; he is found continually supporting the fsnatic measures which rendered Ciddings odions,-he i. found voting with Giddings and Siade upon the Aiherton resolutions, and zenlOnsly sustaining these men in their with regard 10 the negro nlur- derers upon the brig Creole. In every vote where

 Can southern men, democrats even whgs, give their support 10 a man who, as president of the Senate, or perhaps pro tenn. President of the Uni ted s,a,ea, would be afforded opportunity to in- troduco or to favor the introduction into Congress of measures so odious to them and so ruinous to their interests as those that Mir Fillmore, through out bis pablic life, has labored 10 eonsummaie9
 What are the whigs doing in this case Search their organs in the free Staies, and you will find that they are cndeavoriug there to prove hat Gen. 7aor is an aboiioRisi, they rehearse his letter to the editor of the Signal to prove that he is Wamot prortso man.

 If our friend of the Batesvic Eagle is sometimes carried into extremes in the advocacy of his party, he is at other times just and generous toward his political opponents.
 We can give no better illustration of this disposi- ton to be fair in relation to the public men of our State, than by publishing the following from his paper of the lst inst:
 Ambrose H. Sevier.
 The article headed ''Unitcd States Coart--Wes- tern Branches" which we copy from the Van Bu- Integencer, Is very serere on the peace maker As offset to it, give below, an extract from a letter we received from gentleman in Virginia,
  ton City, during the administrations of Jackson, Van Buren, Tyler, and portion Of NIT. Folk s term, and who was some 20 years ago, citizen of Arkansas
 "Among the numerous candidates for seat in the Senate of the United States, there is no man in your State who has such high claims as Col Sever, and no man has served you better. As long back March, lS33, in writing 10 -, on matter of business then remarked, It may not be ainiss to state that Col Seyier was considered, at W ash iDgton able, jealous and faithful representative His kind, generous and accommodating dispositions his frank honest and manly bearing, have ma1e him a general farorte with the members otfhe House. He possesses admirable quality to rem der him servicable to his constituents, 1t is the fla ciitv W ith which he becomes acquainted with the members of the Honsc, and the art he has of at- taching them to him. A highly respectable mem ber of Congress, from New York, remarked in my presence, that Sevier was so great favorite with the House, that they could deny him nothing, Ii he had favor to ask, right to claim from the head of Department, or from the President him self, he moved forward with manly front, and asked the favor and claimed the right with a smile SO persuasive, and manner so imposing, that they scarcely knew how to refuse him.
 With hts talents and peculiar qualifications, there is not a man in my whole circle of acquaintance, that can serve you with much advantage
 ''lf, in ls33 Col. Sevier possessed qualifications, which fitted him for the discharge of the duties of representative to the greatest advantage what must they be now, after passing fifteen years in that great national scbool--the Congress of the United States-having daily, intimate intercourse with th- most learned men oi the land. From tht opportuc nity l have had of forming a correct opinion. very believe ihat Col Sever has, al this day, more irf,.rRee in the Senate and in the House of Repre- sentaiives and with the President and his Cabinet, than any member oi either house of Congress
 There is another geutleman in ycur State, who xpffb aAH in hp of the United States. Ii is Judge Gross, who pos sesses many of the qualifications of Col. Sevier. and who was deservedly popular when be quit the House of Eepresentatives--pertap among the most popular members of the llouse."
