MT. Fillmore, ana Slavery.

The idea that Southern Presses should hold up the Whig candidate for tho Vice Presidency to their readers as the embodi- ment of all that is sound on the slavery question, is peculiarly ridiculous, One who had known the old Statcs-right party of Georgia in its palny days, when it was identified with the lofty feeling and pride of character which is the peculiar trait of the. Southern gentlemen could not have believed that any portion of it would ever come to such uses. 'faf Hi -sshiiaH That the people of the South may see for themselves how sound MT. Fillmore is on this question, we give the following Resolution, adopted by the Syracuse IN. Y.) Whig Convention-by which body he was nominated for Governor o: New York, in ls44. This resolution, MT. Fillmore then approved and endorsed, and is as follows: #,a...47 s....s,
 Resolred, That the annexation of Tex. as to this Union, without the previous abrogation of the national constitution of Texas, would render slavery perpetual throughout the domnions held by that re. public at the time of annexation, because the present constitution of Texas makes slavery perpetual and neither the treaty making power nor the legislative power of government can abolish or-repeal constitutional provisions.
 If this is not the doctrines of the Will mot Proviso--plain and intelligible, in their worst form, intensified so to speak, we would like to be informed what it is We have several other elegant extracts going to show MT. Fillmore's peculiar views but enough of his soundness on the Slavery question, for to day. ,, -----------------
 Wn1G TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF GEN. CAss.-The New York Courier and En- quirer pays the following tlibute to the character, ability and popularity of Gen. Cass.
 "Few men in our country have moro personal friends than Lewis Cass. The whole West and North west are devoted to him and upon the subject of the peculiar institutions of the South, he is as accepta- bls to the South as Shareholder would be. Add to these sources of strength, the unexceptionable private character of Gen. eral Cass, his admitted talents, and the. certainty that, except in this State, he will poll the whole vote of his party, and there can be no question but that he is altogeth- CT the strongest candidate that could bo named. They have acted wisely in pla- cling him before the public as their candi- date" m

From the Weldon Herald.
Mr.. MANLY IN HALIFAX.

A greeable to appointment, the Wing
candidate for Governor met his fellow
citizens of Halifax County, on Monday
last, and gave them his views on the vari-
Gus exciting questions of the day.
1t was the first day of our Superior
Court, the weather was propitious, no
clond dotted the broad expanse of Heaven,
but the sun shone forth in all his splen-
dour, and in every thing be,okened that a
more favorable day could not have been
chosen.
An unusually large number of persons
came into court and to hear the speech Of
the Wing standard bearer.
At noon the Court took a recess, and,
there being about two hundred persons in
the court house, it was announced that
Mr.. Manly would then address his fellow
citizens. Col. Joyner rose and in very
appropriate manner, introduced him 10 the
assemblage, who received him with mark
ed respect. Then commenced the speak
ing.
Mr.. Manly spoke on the various topics
that now occupy public attention. On the
War question, he occupied the great Wing
platform. He spoke Of the annexation Of
Texas. stated that the very act of annexa-
ton left open the question Of boundary,
to be adjusted by negotiation. and in as
much as Congress recognized the bounda-
ry question as unsettled, and consequently
the country between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande as disputed territory, the or
der of the President, marching our army
TO the Rio Grande was the immediate
cause of the War. That the President is
responible for the War; that he is without
authority of law for his rash course; that
Congress-which alone possesses the
war making power-has nerer declared
U'ur: that the people. after the question
has been fully and freely discussed before
them, have declared through their Repre-
sentatives in Congress, that the War was
not brought on by the act of Mexico, but
by the President himself, for ambitious
purposes, and that il was prosecuted to
acquire territory which-that of il not
owned and occupied by Mexican citizens
lis not worth the amount that is paid for
it. much less the expenses of the War,
and the millions Of indemnity which our
Government is to pay our citizens. We
have already more territory than We can
