Willard Fillmore,
Is he an AbOlitiOnist 2


Quite soon after the Organization OF tho
'3s & 39-session Of Congress, conclave
Of principally Northern Democrats, was
held; at which, some one drew up set Of
Resolutions which were afterwards offered
in the House Of Representatives by MI.
A:herton, and which were well known as
the Atherton Resolutions. These recog

the umpire of the evoked question:" she

should be a preamble to the Constitution
The Assembly proceeded on Thursday, the 7th
inst, to examine, article by article, the preamble
drawn up by the committee.
Two different amendments were proposed, one
of which, the first was to substitute the principle
for that of dogma, which was adopted.
The second was one proposed by M Devllle,
which was intended as keen satire on the policy
of the government, or on Gen. Cavagnac in par

large majorlties.
The Assembly goes on with the 9Th paragraph

The paragraphs TO be taken up on Monday, will
