high seas He stood by Giddngs OF Ohio and Slade Of
Vermont when they led that assault upon the South
which ruthless and violent, that It forced the
southern members OF Congress to retire from the Hall OF
Representatives Does the Republic deny these things!
Can deny them II it cannot, then why, let us ask.
does it defend Mr. Fillmore from the charge OF abolition
ism What constitutes abolitonist If such conduct
does not Are not Gddngs of Ohio and Slade Of Yer
mont abotonists' And in what, let ask, do Fill
more and Colamer differ from them? We have searched
the record and we find nothing While MIR Collamer
was in Congress he gave consistent and unwavering
support to all the abolition measures OF Giddings Tuck
and Company No longer ago than the last session Of
Congress he sustained by his voewhich was about all
he hadevery incendiary proposition, Gos resolution
and all 1t is idle to deny such plain facts child
understand them On the 18th October 1885. "Ihe
anti Slavery Society Of the County Of Erie propounded
certain que sions to Mr. Fillmore; among them the
following
"Are you of Congress exercising all the constiu
,ona power possesses abolish the internal slave trade
between the Statesl"
On the l7h of the same month Mr. Fillmore answered
In the affirmative.
"Are you in favor immediate legislation for the abo-
ton of slavery in the District of Columbia 7"
On the 18th of the same month Mr. Fillmore ANSWERED
in the affirmative.
Willard Fillmore is now Vice President OF the United
States, Jacob Collamer is Postmaster General and
Thomas Ewing is Secretary Of the lneriora three of
them in loving fellowship with Zachary Taylor, William
H. Crawford and VIM. Ballard Preston, with the Repub
lie for their and foes to slavery
mixed together in the cabinets and men in the South who
uphold slavery, and men in the North who denounce
slavery unite in UNFOLDING and sustaining this admins
traon We repeat, therefore, that the WING ticket
contained southern STAKEHOLDER and northern abo-
litonist that the cabinet is coalition cabinet, and
is fair index of The coalition which compose the
wing party-a coalition between whgism, free soil
ism, and aboltonism And yet the Taylor press
has the Gfon,ery to complain that it is assaied both
in the North and in the South 1t cannot expect any
other fate. This assault is the natural consequence
of its Janus-face ticket OF its coalitions, and OF the
the Wilmot Proviso and in the North that he is its
friend Lethe administration take up it's position, and
then, and not till them may complain il the opposition
is not consistent Therefore, we ask the Republic which
portion of the country represented General Tayors
timens on the WmOt Proviso correcty Is he opposed
to the Wilmot Provso, does he sanction it, II Con-
gress should sanction the slavery restriction, will he veto
the bill or approve Let have more bush fight
ing; but give AFFAIR srugge-not guerilla warfare.
The nation has been trihed with long enough The peo
pie have right to know what is the position of the adj
minsltation on this important subject We fight dnder
the banner OF non-ntervenon; and it is reasonable
request to ask the Republic to unu its flag, that may
know to what army it belongs.
