We have thus given place verbatim to Mr.. Nc
Alisters own version of Mr.. Fillmores Speech
and we submit that it utterly fails to substantiatc
his charges against Mr.. F. of affation with the
Abolitionists and pouring forth his diatrihe'
against the South and her Institutions 0fcourse
we do not accept the letter as fair account o.
what Mr.. Fillmore actually said. 1t was par.
sau letter. intended TO belittle Mr.. F. and 10 VIII
Southern votes for Polk and Texas. Its design Wa.
TO convince shareholders that they ought TO vote
against Clay in view Of the arguments used by his
advocates at the North The letter is at least con
elusive evidence against Mr.. NJ Allister-if he had
uttered any Abolition sentiments, they would sure
ly have figured here at iull length. But where are
they
of course, we do not mean 10 imply that ne
should have esteemed Mr. Fillmore less il he had
avowed himself hostile 10 Slavery at all times and
verywhere-certainly not. The question at issue
is not one Of opinion but OF fact. According 70
the new Southern nomenclature, every man who
does not favor the extension and propagation Of
Slavery is an Abolitionist yet even thus 1t will
be difficult 10 convict Mr.. +. On the strength OF
