Aboilionist Fillmore, whom the Wing aud the
leaders here were ready and willing 10 hug To
their bosoms. Toshow the feeling with which
We regardcd The course Of Mr.. L. at that lime,
when hi, own party were denouncing him every
where as having made "Locofocc" speech and
deserted The Wing party, We repubish what we

ling for such man; aud in glowing terms he |
invoked MIR. Lyons and the approaching Wing |
Convention 10 strike the name of Fillmore |
