As to the candidate for the Vice Presidency
(Mr. Fillmore) he remembered that when the
chairman of Committee on Ways and Means,
he had reported a bill for paying a master
the value of a slave who escaped on board a

Congress of the United States had sat hig-

that every man must be fully persuaded in
his own mind. This position of Mr.. Gid
dings's is absolutely impregnable to the as
saults of all who are willing to act under the
Constitution. Of course a STAKEHOLDER is as
good a candidate as an Abolitionist for a par
ty whose object it is to keep Slavery within
its constitutional limits, by constitutional
means, if he will agree to do its work. 1t is

Republic, because he is a STAKEHOLDER, as for
Southern men to do the same thing 10 a
Northern man because he is not.
Mr.. Glddings proceeded-'As to Ohio,
