ly stated. Consistency indeed! This is
the same pis-bald knot Of political upstairs
that conducted the miscalled Democratic
Flag, and prentended to advocate the cleo
ton of Cass and Butler no more than three
months ago. The principles ofthose states
men are the same now as then in every
particular. But it is not our design to
argue with this consumpted sheet, that will
socn gallop off the stage of existence, for
its whole article is but a web Of lies, that
will elicit the serious attention of none but
heads as soft, if not as sore, that can furnish
nothing better for their papers.
Let the people Of the South remember
that the charge that Fillmore is an Adolf
Zionist is utterly false, and that the men
who make it support for the Presidency the
man who in August, 1916, was 10 favor of
the Wilmot Proviso, but who in December,
iS47, to get Southern votes in the Baltimore
Convention, wrote a long letter against it.
[Mo. Statesman.
u Let the people Of the South remem-
Der that the above paragraph was penned
by a reckless politician in q state of despe-
ration-that he gives his empty declaration
where evidence is required. To his asser-
|tion "that the charge that Fillmore is an
.Abolitionist is utterly false" let Fillmore
answer himself: The following question,
amongst others, was ~prOpounded to him by
the Anti Slavery Society of New York, in
October, 1888, while he was a candidate
for Congress:
4th. Are you 10 favor of immediate lepis-
lation for the abolition Of slavery in the
District of Columbia?
To which he replies: "f am much en-.
gagged, and have no time to enter into an
argument, or to explain at length, my rea-
sons for my opinion. / shall therefore, con-
tent myself for the present, BY answering
ALL your interrogatories in the AFFIRM
|ATIVE, and leave for some future occa-
sion, q more extended discussion of the
subject.
To make good the charge that Cass was
in August, 1916, in favor of the WilmoiI
Proviso, and 10 December, AT, against it,
needs more than the Statesman's or 8 Rath-
burns assertion-we demand the evidence.
Lest you should fail to find documentary
evidence to suit the occasion, We furnish
you with the following extract from Cass'|
celebrated pamphlet on the Quintuple trsa.
~, written as early as 1919:
"It slavery can be safely left only to|
those who are to be so seriously affected by|
it; and there it is left by the constitution

Wholesale Poisoning.--Nearly the en-

were poisoned by drinking coffee, night

attacked the copper, and poisoned the
