During The sitting oil the Convention Hon.

of the delegates 10 Inc late Baltimore Convention
was called upon for an address. He responded
in his usually able and eloquent manner. We
will not attempt to give even an outline of his
speech. There is one part OF it, however, 10
which we will allude. He nnsquiuoealy pro.

that should deer any Southern man from hazard

Curiosity carried me there, disgust soon drove
me away. On that occasion, the gentleman now
presented to the South as candidate for the
Vice Presidency, harangued the assembly from
stand over which foared a banner, on which
were portrayed likenesses Of Andrew Jackson
and James K Polk, at full length; and by way

not give the language used by the orator, out

could not relieve, in my opinion, the ticket on
which the name Of aiilard Fillmore found
place.
Here is direct, positive testimony, which, we
presume, will not be gainsaid. But there IS
more evidence Mr.. Hudson of Massachusetts
has written letter TO his constituents, to prove
that Gddngs violates the truth, when he asserts
that Fillmore is not sufficiently anti slavery for
The most rab;d Wing Of the conscience school
even for Giddngs himself. We learn from the
New York Evening Post that since Governor
Dodge has declined the nomination Of the Barn

Fillmore is spoken Of TO fill the vacancy, be
