Prominent among those who again came 10

Adams Slade, Corwin-"au good men and true"
who would go their death for an Abolition Pc
,ition-and delighted in the idea OF throwing open
The whole question Of slavery in the States, Dis

charming opportunity the tried friend Of The South,
| FILLMORE will have when he takes his seat as
the presiding off ,er OF the Senate OF The United

shall be a tie pote upon The slavery question !
Happy man Thrice happy Aboilionisls, in
having such friend!
FOURTH DAYS LABOR OF FILLMORE FOR THE

| There is no more pleasing task than that Of
watching the course Of "a PATROL" like The ''n'os
NOBLE" Miilard Fillmore, in his advances in the
great cause of abolilonisn. II is pleasing to
watch how, shoulder to shoulder, with those de.

ers OF The Soulh, who raised a few objections !o

The record OF Fillmore's fourth days labor for
his country q e. The c6olitionisis) can be found on
pages BAT and 348 OF The HOUSE JOURNAL, Mon
DAT, FEBRuARY 5ih, 1888.
Mr.. Lincoln presented a memorial Of lOS in
habians Of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, ren,on'
slraing agains. The resolution adopted BY this
House on the 2lst of September in relation to
memorials upon The subject Of slavery, and pray

ferred 10 select committee, with instructions 10
report resolution declaring that The resolution
of The House, passed on the 2lsi of December last
(Pauon's resolafion) IN The following words, viz
Resolved, Tha, all petitions, memorials and
papers touching the abolition Of slavery, or the
buying, selling or transferring OF slaves in any
STATE, District, or Territory Of the United
States be laid upon the table, without being be-
bated printed, read or referred, and tina, no fur
Their action Whatever shall be had thereon"
Is violation of the constitutional guarantee OF the
right OF petition in the people, and subver>ive OF
the freedom of debate in their representatives, AND
THAT SAID RESOLUTION BE RrscINDED.
A motion was made by Mr. Boon, that the
question of consideration, together with the
memorial, be laid upon the table; and the ques
ton being put on this motion, it passed in the
affirmative yeas 1913, nays IS As By this
IIuIe We Iday De prepared to expect, the
names of FILLMORE, Adams, Corwin and
Slads were among those VOTING IN THE NE
eArIvE. Was not this vote an attempt upon The
part of Fillmore TO throw the whole subject Of
Slavery for discussion before Congress'-to pro-
duce fierce and unendng discusson'-to array
the North against the South This vote of Fill.
more's we consider the most infamous of all.
Mr.. Patton, Virginian, had by wise resolu.
ton, settled for time, at least, this question of
Slavery; and if Fillmore did not wish to give
Congress the power to consider, discuss and lie.
gi,a'e upon it, why did he vote against laying
Lincons resolutions upon the tablet Let the
Wing Editors shift and turn as they please, here
We have from the records given data, which
shows the infamous attempt of WILLARD FILL
MORE to continue the agitation of this question
Let US not think he would have opposed abo-
lition petitions, whilst he voted for receiving
them. Look at his original vote upon Pattons
resolution for refutation of SO shallow an eva
sion. In every way does Fillmore unite upon
all of the test questions with Northern fanatics
against the South; still the Wings of Virginia
heap abuse upon his former colleagues, and pro-
fess willingness to give him their support. To
what extent will not the Wing section of the
Taylor no.party party carry it?
FIFTH DAYS LABOR or FILLMORE FOR THE
ABOLITlONISTS.
The angry session of 1898, during which
the Slavery question was so freely and perse
yeringly discussed, and the champions of the
North and South were so stoutly denounced in
all vote. upon petitions for the abolition of
Slavery, &c., &c., &C., having been brought TO
an end, we come now to the session Of 1888
'39, during which WILLARD FILLMORE will be
found true to bis old friends, Adams Corwin
and Slade, upon all questions relating to Slave
ry. To the abolition fraternity in Congress. had
been added that shining light, before ,ohose i,tstre
the flames evsn Of FILLMORE dimmed-we mean
Joshua R. Giddings of Ohio, whose name is ia.
vorably known in the Southern States. We
shall find Giddings and Fillmore pulling beauti'
fully together under the management of the
venerable Adams.
