The question was then put that the House do
agree to the said second resolution, which is in
the words following, VIZ:
:. ResoIucd, That petitions for the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia and the Terri
tories of the United States, md against the reno
raj of ares from one SrATE to another, are a
part of plan of operations set on foot 10 affect |
the institution of slavery in the several States, and
thus indirectly TO destroy that institution within
their limits
And passed in the afirmative-yeas 1856, nays
65."
Now wouldit not appear to every Southern
man that here was chance when those who
desired TO exhibit their disposition to do jus
tice to the South, might DO so publicly and
above board, by voting for this resolution =
MuLARD FILLMORE and his Abolition allies
and friends, adams, Giddtng5, Corcin, Slade,
Sc, VOTED AGAINST this resolution Mark
this, Southern Wings, who, under the influ-
ence of party associations, are aDou; TO cast
YOUR votes for this same NiiIlard Fillmore
Read the resolution and weigh it well, and
ask yourselves what you would think OF the
sentiments Of the man that voted against it.
Is he an Aboltionist? We think you must
answer, yea. But again
"The question on the third resolution was, On
the motion of Mr.. Bond, divided
"And on the question that the House DO agree
to the first member of the said third resolution, be-
ing so much thereof as is contained III the words
following:
" ResoLced, That Congress has no right to do
that indirectly which it cannot Go directLy-
at passed in the affrmative-yeas 10, nays
30'
Here, again, we find NiIlard Fillmore, the
candidate of Southern Wings for the Vice
Presidency, voting in the negative, in close
fellowship with his old friends, adams, SIGde,
Gjddjngs, Peck, &c.
The question was then put that the House 60
agree to the second member of the said third res
oIuton, being so much thereof as is contained in
the words following
And that the agitation of the subject Of slave
ry IN the District of Columbia or the Territories,
as a means and with the view Of disturbing or o.
verthrowing that institution in the several States.
is against the true spirit and meaning of the Con-
stituion an Infringement Of the rights of the
States affected and breach of the public faith Oh
which they entered into this confederacy.
!" And passed in the afnnative-ycas 1914 nays
! 49,"
Against this, also, we find Jehn Quincy
adams, WILLARD FILLMORE, Joshua R.
Giddings, Peck, and Hodc, voting in the clo-
sest fellowship and agreement.
Now how, in the name of common sense,
can Southern men bring themselves to vote for
a man for the Vice Presidency who would re-
cord his vote against such proposition as
this Still, people of North Carolina, they
(the Federal leaders,) have the hardhood to
ask you TO vote for this man!
1.-THE question required, that the House do a.
gree to the fourth resolution
M Lincoln called for division Of the ques-
ton said resolution; and on the question that
the House do agree to the first member thereof
being go much as is contained ia the words fol-
lowing
"Res0lvea, That the Constitution rests On the
broad principle of equarlty among the members Of
this confederacy. 1t passed in the affirmative
yeas 1872, nays 49,
OF course, Willard Fillmore voted for such
a proposition as this, as did many of the other
Aboitionists But how was it on the second
clause of the same resolution? Let US see.
