In conversation with several rotcrs oil this
District, we have learned that they earnestly
desire ell The candidates for seat in tie House
Of REPRESENTATIVES to declare Immediately
though the medium of The district papers their
preference for Cass or Taylor fni the Presiden-
cy.. We leave Va,, Burcn ont Of the question.
We do not suppose, that any man in South
Carolina. would support him. If the position
OF neutrality OIL the Presidential question was
ever proper, il is no, 50 no,o. The wait aud
watch party" Of the Stale is dissolved. Gen.
Taylorso adavowcd support Of Whisgcry
has given that little party its quielus. It is now
time for every public man in The State to de-
fine bis position. We believe that all our
Candidates from EdecGeld, for the Legislature,
are in favor of General Cass, bu, we desire
that they should nolo publish their opinions on
the Presidential question. SO that every .uan
may read them. We request them TO d" so
without delay, as the period fixed for the gem
eraI election is rapidly approaching. There
is no dnub, but that The District is thoroughly
Democra,ic-wc mean in The Southern sense
of the term. Doubtless. the great mass Of the
people are for Cass, and if we be not greatly
mistaken, South Carolina will give him very
handsome majority over Geaeral Taylor.
Since the above was ia type, we have re-
ceiyed communications from several candi>
dates, which will be found in tosday's paper.

all occasions voted tor the introduction of abo-
lilion petitions, aud in Octuber 1885. when he
was q candidate for Congress, the anti slavery
society of the county of Erie. propounded to
him the following questions:
"1st. Do You telievc that petitions TO Con.
gress on the subject Of slavery and the slave
trade ough, To be received, read and respect-
fully considered by the representatives of the
people!
2d. Are You opposed to the annexation Of

al the constitutional power it possesses, TO ahol
ish tie internal slave trade betweenrhe States? !?
4lh Are you in i;lv v,r Of immediate lee isla'
tion for the abolition of slavery in the District Of

This was Mr. Fillmore's answer:

enter into an argument. or to explain at length
my reasons for my opinion. | shall therefore
content myself. Tor the present, by answering
