dental campaign, We were N the "Ids OF
Texas. But we hsvc always understood
that h. wa. a decided anti slavery man in
other words. frec-soiler. We are wiling,
however. that his friends should speak tor
him until We learn more oi his opinions.
The following is an extract from the re
agHne;

ritorial questions have not been MADE

been remarkable for It's moderation and ITS
habiiual rcpugnance to ultraisms Of all
kinds Ii is an encouraging sign that these
traits have arrayed him aud his friends OF

leader IN checking the headlong ultralsns
OF the Seward portion. The same spirit,
carried into the administration OF the Fed
crsl Government, gives promise OF pro.
lection against that most mlschlevous in.
tluencr. which has already made itself felt
too strongly in the politics of the country.
"In party politics Mr.. FIllmorc's admin.

mistakably His politics have never been
doubtful. and they Will doubtless be made
to prevail in all his recommendations and
policy as President

to make an ultra whig Of him. BY this
means they hope to rcsusciiatc the party.
