MORE FILLMoRE1sM--We think that the
readers of the Journal cannot, after being made
acquainted with the votes of Willard Fillmore
on the Anterior Resolutions. and after read
ing his letter published IN the last number of
this paper, in which he approved of all the
wild schemes of the Northern Abolitionists,
We say they cannot, we think, but know that
he is an Abolitionist. AS an additional piece
of proof, not only that Fillmore is opposed TO
the South OH the slavery question, but that
the whole Wing party of the State OF New
York are, in principle, Free Soil " men, we
present our readers with the following article,
taken from the columns Of the Rochester
American" one of the abIest Wing prints in
the State of New York 1t will be seen, from
perusal of this article, that the Wing State
Convention that nominated Willard Fillmore
for the Office which he now fills, Chat of
Comptroller OF the State,) almost unanimous
ly adopted the "Wilmot Proviso," that had
been rejected by the Democratic State Conven-
tor. held few days before So the whole
Wing party at the North (for the State Of New
York is fair index,) is thoroughly opposed
to the extension OF slavery into any territory
Of the Union, whether North o. South of SO
80, the line of the Missouri Compromise. AS
Willard Fillmore was nominated by this Con-
vention, of course he must be taken as agree
ing in sentiment with it He is both Provi-
sionist and an Abolitonist And this is the
man that Southern Wings are called upon to
vote for! Below is the article TO which we
refer -
From the Rochester American, Oct. IA, 1917.
DUTY of the Wings 1t is generally beiiev-
ed that the whig party will this fall obtain an
easy victory. The distraction of our Oppo-
nents and the excellence of our ticket, natu-
rally inspire the belief. Our fear is, that SO
comfortable a conviction may work its own
disappointment.
Let no wing imagine that State election is
TO be carried without effort. Victory does not
usually drop like ripe fruit into the lap of any
party. There must he vigilance, organization,
concerted effort. That it is quite within Our
power to carry the State by sweeping ma
jorty cannot be questioned, and is in fact con-
ceded by the opposing party. This fact
should operate to increase ol>r zeal and quick
en- our eXertions.
We require not simple victory. To beat
the enemy by five or ten thousand would but
partially discharge the duty which atthis cri-
sis New York owes TO her own fame, to the
wings of the Union, and TO the cause of free
dom. 1t is our duty to assert Our principles
by such preponderating vote as shall carry
resistless moral influence to every part of the
country.
The two parties iii this State, by their con-
ventions, have taken opposite sides upon the
Wimot Proviso. Locofocosm refuses to set
itself in opposition TO the further extension of
slavery. 1t insults the moral feelings of eve
| ry true northern man, and outrages every in
stlnct OF freedom, to propltlaie slavery au-
ministration' On the other hand, the whig
convention openly, cordially, unanimously,
adopted the Wimot Proviso, and declared the
unaterabIe hostility of the party TO the acqui-
sition of slave territory. There stand the two
parties. distinct and diverse as light and dark
ness. The verdict of the people is asked upon
| this issue.
We desire 10 see, not bare majority, but
an overwhelming vote for the wing ticket.
The New Orleans Delta f,he 18th instant,
publishes another important letter from Cea'l
Taylor, explanatory of his position as a can
dldate for the Presidency
He alludes with considerable severity to
criticism on detached parts of his letters, made
by party editors, and declares himself whg in
principle. but at the same time no party man.
lie declares himself emphaticaly the peoples
candidate, having been nominated by all par
ties, and consented 10 stand as candidate in
the hope that it would have the effect of eau
sing the canvass TO be conducted with candor,
II notIn more kindly spirit than had pre-
vlously been the case.
He therefore accepts the nomination of the
wing Convention, with gratitude and pride,
and refers TO his letter addressed TO Captain
Allison for his views on all necessary subjects,
and promises that, If elected, he will endeavor
10 cement the Union, and establish the happi-
ness OF ms country on an enduring basis.
We clip the above from the TeegGaphic
correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. We
have not yet received the letter alluded to a.
bove. We shall give the letter passing no.
tice when it is received A few more left.
