From Hhe Petersburg Republican,
Is WILLARD FILLMORE AN ABOLITIONIsT
THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

Concluded from First Page)
Since our last article on this subject was pre-.
pared for the press, we have received the Jour.
nal of the House Of Representatives for the
Session Of l839-'40, containing many other
facts, which sustain the position we have as
sumed. We need, therefore, offer no apology
for again violating the order Of DATES, by going
back TO that session.
Thus lar, it must be admitted, by any one who
will EXAMINE the Journals, that we have stu.
dlously aostained from an unfair presentation of
MIR. Flllmore's votes, and that we have simply
represented him as he is represented by the
Journals Of the House of Representatives.
On the 30th of December, 1899,
"a motion was nade by Mr.. Wise, that the
rules prescribing the order of business BIO sus
pended, to enable him TO move the following re-.
solution, viz:
"Resolved, That upon the presentation of any
memorial or petition praying for the abolition
of slavery or the slave trade in any District,
Territory, or State of the Union, and upon the
presentation of any resolution or other paper
touching that subject, the RECEPTION Of such
memorial, petition, resolution, or paper, shall
be considered as objected to, and the QUESTION OF
ITS RECEPTION shall be laid upon the table.
without further debate or further action thereon.
"The question was put on The motion made by
MIR. Wise 10 suspend The rules, when there ap.
peared, yeas Ill, nays 76."
Two-,hirds not voting in the affirmative, the
motion was rejected; and whom do We find voting
against it2
John Quincy Adams, Tics Corwin, WILLARD
FILLMORE, Joshua r. Gliding, and William
Slade, in company as usual with the other ADO

WASHINGTON, August %, lS4S.
Messrs. Editors Last evening having let
ter from nv old division of the State, take
pleasure in saying that things look upward and
onward for the consummation of splendid vic
tory for Cass and Butler. In old Hampshire,
where, in times past, Whiggery, under the name
of Federalist, has given the Democracy some
trouble, the victory is certain Colonel Sloan
will insure a very decided majority for the
ticket. Even Hardy county, though not belong
ing to the same district, is rousing up under the
guidance Of ]. w. F. Allen, Esq and the As.
sslant Elector, G. T. Barbee, Esq and you
may rest assured that these gentlemen will give
good account of their doings on the 7th No
vember next. Our friends in Morgan are very
active, and request to be set down at one hun
dred majority for Cas- and Butler. This will
be gain, that insures very largo vote of in
creased strength in thai county. Reilly and
Tucker, and hosts Of friends, are active and
vigiant in old Frederick, so much so, that it
may be asserted, without successful contradic-
ton, that Federalism is on its last legs in the
good old county Of Frederick So, also, my
letter states, are our friends equally vigilant in
Berkeley, jefferson and Clarke. If mistake
not, Warren and Page belong to this district
also; but my correspondent has omitted them
Suffice it TO say, that they are part and parcel
of old Shenandoah, and, as the daughters, are
ever true TO the pure principles of the "oLp
TENTH You may rest satisfied there will be
considerable acquisition Of strength in both

Also, as our energies increase, our opponents
seem faultering and aoundering in the approach

contend Tor in their LEA DER, how can the contest
be of any INTEREST," None whatever. Whiggery
is already defeated. send you this, because
some foolish calculators say that there are

morrow; but no may not return, as it is understood
he is pleased very much with Bath, the country,
and the choice company now assembled there.
He can, with profit TO his health, remain few
days longer if he thinks proper as Mr.. Blu

THE PALMETTO STATE ALL SAFE


We are delighted to believe that South Caro-
lima and Virginia will stand side by side in vo.
ting for Cass and Butler. The signs are con.
elusive, as the following extracts show:
From the Charleston Mercury of Saturday.
The meeting Of the Democracy last evening,
at Lege's Long Room, was of the most en!hu
siastic and gratifying character. William ri
ley, Esq, presided, and G. J. Cogdell was ap.
pointed Secretary. The meeting was addressed
by ]. B. Campbell, Esq, Hon F. ]. Moses, Sc
nator from Claremont, and Colonel NJ. F. Carn,
one of the Representatives from Colleton. All
the addresses were able and eloquent, and re-
peatedly called forth the applause of the au-
dience. MIR. Wilkinson also ably addressed the
meeting, and OF the conclusion of his remarks,
upon the unanimous md persistent call of the
meeting, read letter from the Hon. Daniel T..
Huger, expressing, in decided terms, his pre-
ference for Cass and Butler, and cheering the
Democracy in their onward course. The letter
was received with the highest qualification, and
the patriotic sentiments of its distinguished au-
thor responded TO with enthusiastic applause

Animated meetings have been held at Union
C. Il. and in Abbeville, S. c.; raifying the no.
mination of Cass and Butler-and the following
resolution was adopted al the last-named meet.
ing:
18th. Resolved, That The twelve Southern
Wing members Of Congress, who voted against
the Compromise, are traitors 10 their country,
and ought to be treated as such; we will here re-
cord their names Tor future reference; of the Sc

country; Crozer OF Tennessee; Adams, Buckner

We conclude with passage from The Colum.
bia South Carolinian, which, after cordially en-
dorsing the bold, firm aud decided sentiments" of
the Charleston Democracy, says:
1.-THE Democrats OF Charleston will receive a
hearty response from the back country, and they
may rest assured that their bold and fearless
stand taken for Cas- and Butler, though a, late
day, will nevertheless be sustained by The voice
of The hardy mountaineers. We are glad to find
that the Mercury has abandoned his Watch and
Wait policy, and has come out welding IN able
pen in support Of the Nominees OF the Baltimore
Convention. These movements are highly en-.
couraging They give fresh impulse to the all
ready buoyant spirits of the up country Demo.
cracy. and The lime must soon come when mo-
dern Whigsery in the State OF South Carolina
shall hear, in sorrow and fear, its death knel
sounding from the mountains to the sea board"

ANOTHER CHARGE REFUTED!

Mr.. S. F. Leake is doing noble service be.
yond the Ridge where his state of health has call
ed him. He has spoken with great effect in Fin
castle against Mr. ]. t. Anderson, and al Mon.
roe Court House agains! Mr.. Caperton. The
Fincaslle Democrat, while il represents The De-
mocracy as firm and enthusiastic, thus uses up
story which the Wing papers are circulating
with great gusfo. The same paper states, that
Mr. Leake took occasion in his Monroe speech
to denounce, in strong terms, The misrepresena-
lion OF his speech al Fincastle by The Valley
Wing:
"The Valley Wing says that Mr.. Leake
boldly denounced General Taylor as TRAITOR
10 his country, and conempluuusly compared
him TO The infamous Beaedict Arnold OF the
Revolution This is glazing and palpable
instrumentation of Mr.. Leake. There were
many Wings who heard him, whom we have
heard speak Of Mr.. Leake's speech as unexcep.
tionable, and we could safely rest his defence on
them alone. Mr.. Leake reviewed General
| Taylor's position on The Wilmot Proviso-allu-
| ded to the Wing TACT that General Taylor as a
| Southern man, and The owner ofslaves, could no,
| possibly favor that infamous measure; he referred
| TO IT'S Signal letter committing him 10 course
| that would avor the free so,t party. He showed
| that il would be much worse for Gen. Taylor, a
| Southern men-bofn and raised ia The South, 10
orove rccreant oil Southern interests than il would

This is the substance OF Mr.. Lsakes remarks, al
Ter which he illustrated it By The history Of Ar
mold, mol comparing The MEN Al all, but illuslra
Ting the position OF one by The position OF the
| other. We have heard Wings as honest and as
in.elligen, as the author Of this calumny speak Of
| Mr.. Leakes address in terms Of commentator
and we commend to our neishbor the opinion OF
a young gentleman Of the Wing party in particu
lar. Al some distance from Fincaslle, he was
asked what was the news from that place. mo

LARD FILLMORE something MoRg than
Whig?-Is HE SUCH a Wing as SOUTHERN
WING. should VOTE for'
In answering these important questions, we
desire to Law before our readers few more iacls
taken from the record, and will then leave the
decision Of the matter to them.
On the 2lst Of March, 1912, Mr. Gidding'
moved the following resolutions:
81. Resolved, That, prior TO the adoption OF
our Federal Constitution, each of the several
States, composing this Union, exercised full and
exclusive jurisdiction over the subject Of slave
nv within its own territory, and possessed full
power to continue or abolish it at pleasure.
-. Resolved, That, BY adopting the Consti.
tuition, no part of the aforesaid powers were de-
legated 10 the Federal Government, but were
reserved by, and still pertain to, each OF the Sc
veral States.
"3. Resolved, That, by the 9Th section Of the
LIST article of the Constitution, each OF the seye.
| raj States surrendered to the Federal Govern.
ment all Jurisdiction over the subjects OF com.
| merce and navigation upon the high seas.
"a. Resolved, That slavery, being an abridg.
| ment of the natural rights Of man, can exist
only BY force of positive MoNIcIPALLAw, and is
necessarily confined to the territorial jurisdic.
ton of the power creating it.
rs. Resolved, That when ship belonging 10
HE citizens of any State ofttis Union eavesfhs ud-

high seas. THE PERSONS ON BOARD CEASE TO BE
SUBJECT To THE SLAVE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, and
therefore are governed IN their relations to each
other by. and are amenable TO- the lars OF the I'M.
| ted Stats.
sc. Resolved, That when The brig Creole, on

rial ;urisdiotion Of Virginia, the slave laws OF
that State CEASED 10 have jurisdiction over Inc pei
sons ON board said brig, and such persons be.
came amenable only TO The laws OF The United
States.
az. Resolved, That THE PERSONS ON BOARD THE
SAID SHIP IN RGsuMiSG THEIR NATURAL RIGHTS OF
PERSONAL LIBERTY, VIOLATED NO Law OF
THE UNITED STATES, INCURRED NO
LEGAL, ESPONSlBILlTY AND ARE
JUSTLY LIABLE TO NO PUNISHMENT
"s Resolved, That aRottsmpti to regain posse,
sion of or to ,e-ensiave said persons, are UNAU-
| THORIZED BY BECONSTlTUTION Or
! LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND
ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH OUR Ma
TIONAL HONOR.
"9. Resolved, That all attempts 10 exert ouI
national influence in favor of the coaslwise slave
trade, or 10 place this nation in the attitude oil
maintaining commerce in human beings are
subversive Of the rights and Injurious 10 the feel

Our readers must bear 10 mind that, wherever
the word "PERsoss" is used in the foregoing
