LIZARD FILLMORE voted against these
resolutions which "sold the South" and
gave up the whole ground to the Adolf
quote Mr. Wise--why he
is an Aboli,ionstl Well that will do; in
the whole history of politics, there is moth
ing richer to be found
The second objection to Mr.. FILL
MORE is, that on December 10, 1888, he
voted agains, the suspension of the rules to
enable MIR. Wise TO offer certain resolutions
on slavery, the slave trade, and petitions
for their abolition. - ,...... t..f.
Well, if that vote proves him TO be an
Aboliiionist, the proof is equally strong
against some Of the most prominent lead
ers of the Democracy-Chas. w. 7Ather-

The third objection TO Mr.. Fillmore is
that at the first session of the 26th Con-
gress, December 81, $780, he voted against
a suspension of the rules 10 enable Mr..
Coles of Virginia, to introduce a resolu-
ton relative to petitions for the abolition

which would have been TO lay them on the
table without being debated, printed, or

Well, he certainly could not have been
very far wrong, as he voted with Edward
J. Black, of Ga, Thos. w. Chinn. of Lou
siana, Waller T. Colquitt, of Georgia
George w. Crabb, of Alabama, Willis
Green, of Kentucky. Richard w. Haber.
sham and Eugenius A. Nisbet, of Georgia
and Kenneth Rayner, of North Carolina
and besides these southern wings and south
ern democrats, twenty five of the northern
democracy went with him Also House

The fourth objection TO Mr.. Fillmore is
that at the same session of Congress, Janu
airy 2slh, 1910, he voted against the ia,
nous 2lst rule, excluding the reception OF
Of abolition petitions altogether, and a,
subsequent periods of his service as a mem
Der. in favor of its repeal. r..
Thirty.6ve northern democrats, among
them Nathan Clifford of Me-, George NJ
Kem, of Pennsylvania, VIM. Parmenter
of Massachusetts, Aaron Fanderpool, Of
New York, and VIM. w. Wick, of Indi
ana, and two southern wings, John Bell, Of
Tennessee, and Joseph r. Underwood, o.
Kentucky, voted the same way House
Journal, p. 244.
The fifth objection to Mr.. Fillmore is
that he voted at different periods for prop
ositions recognizing the power of Con
gress TO legislate for the territories. This
as we have already seen, is not denied by
the Baltimore Platform. But we have still
further reason TO question the right of the
southern democracy 10 censure this in Mr.
Fillmore. On p. 3lS Of the House Jour
nal, I'd session. 9Th Congress, Feb. Sd
1916, we find that vote was taken on the
following amendment TO the 9th section o.
the bill 'to organize a territorial govern
ment in Oregon
! Provided, however, That there shall bt
neither slavery nor involuntary servitudt
in the said torrito DRY, otherwise than in the
punishment Of crimes, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted
The amendment was adopted, forty
northern democrats voting therefor. The
question then recurring on the passage O
the bill; for which, with this, the Wilmo
Proviso part of it, the following nance
southern democrats voted:

Forty. five southern democrats voted fol
bill embracing the Wilmot Proviso, anc
only three against it; so speaks the record
else it would not be believed, though one
should rise from the dead
