 Or the above named 43 Senators voting on this question, it will be seen that four teen Democratic Senators, among them Mir. Fitzgerald, of Michigan, who has suc- ceeded Gen. Cass resigned, and MT. Dodge of Wisconsin, who has declined to run as Vice President on the Barnburners' ticket, have signalized themselves in fa vor of the integrity of the constitution.
 Mr. Dodge and Mir. Fitzgerald have more reason to rejoice in this vote, inas- much as their first vote has been to re- buke that vile fanatical spirit, which seeks by the abolition of slavery in the District, to make Congress the more willing instru- ment oe encroaching on Southern rights, by next attacking the trade between the States, and thus step by step sapping the constitutional barriers thrown around Southern institutions.
 Had the fifteen Senators (including Del | awa'e,) from the North voted with Hale, Corwin. and their four colleagues, there would have been 21 for, and 22 against.
 In such case let one more Southern hou hon ab, and a tie would have been created.
 What Southern man in such an event would desire to see Willard Fillmore, in the presiding chair of the Senate
 Would they, if it eyer comes to this is- sue, confide in him
 If the Northern Democracy are Gas has been contended by Southern Whig Edi- tors, but we assert without proof) as un- sound as the Northern Wings on this sub- ject, what is to prevent the Northern mem- bers of the Senate even without a fanati- cal Vice President of the Whig ranks, carrying out Hale's and Corwin's and in- terfcreing with this exciting question in the District of Columbia?
 Of the thirty States in the Union, sic teen, are Northern States, represented by B Senators,--fourteen are Southern States represented by 2s Senator's. Ii Make the question purely a sectional one, and a majority of four in the Senate is arrayed against us. .5f
 It may be said that there is no danger off such result. If none, it wIli not be be- cause the Northern Whig senators rally for the protection of the constitutional rights of the South. With one exception (Mr. Spruance) from Delaware, which State is still regarded by some as South. ern State. and we see the Whig senators from the North repudiating the doctrine off Cass for which he is reviled at the North, as dough face and we see them contend ing to give Congress the power of strik- ing at the institutions of the South, now recognized on neutral grounds, and which interference if attempted by Congress will be resisted by all parties at the South.- But will not that resistance be much im- paired if a party at the South can be found weak enough to support for Vice President a man; who, like Fillmore. has always been found sustaining by his. vote the assun1ea right of Congress to discuss a subject, a right not conferred upon that body.ii mon T bAs sa.ol3 eogs as In December, 1888, Mir. Fillmore vo- ted to go further. He voted against Mir. Atherton's resolution which declared 1t a violation of the constitution for Congress to attempt to abolish slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia or the territories.g
 What do men of the South desire more conclusive to prove that Willard Fillmore is unfit to be trusted by them to throw the casting vote in the United States Senate,
