The FILLMORE platform.

The Fillmore fiotiofms
In answer to all the silly cIsmors OF the
Locofoco jenrnsls, il reference to" Coalition
in New York" i, is sufficient, with all rsa.
.sp.ble miads, to adducs ACTS instead Of
prorrssross-FACTS instead Of THEORIES.
Al, the late conference Of Wing delegates
st Albany, it was agreed that State Con-
,en,lon should be held at Syracuse on the
ll,h of September next, (ihe day after the
Democratic Convention, for the purpose oil
dominating State officers. The platform
creed upon, hiss been the subject OF Loeoloco
censure; Just at the moment, too, that John
Van Buren, and o!her prominent Free s'l's's
had been invited 10 Tammsny for the purpose
Of ana lgamofion and re union OF black sp'r'
ITS and white"
And, VIA, is it the Democratic babbIers call
a surrender !, issimply the acknowledge
men, OF an essiraciion-lhe right to discuss
ann nxa.nres Of public interen-ihe very
rieh, which the Southern Democrats are now
using and enjoying to thu larges, exien'--e-
ven 10 that of attempting TO dissolve the I a.
on. And this right is exercised unrspuk'"'
without even a breath Of censurs from the
srumblcrs al Wing opinions.
The committees at Albany have agreed
upon an unqualified eemmtndaron Of me
course and policy Of he Admiai'trat''n -
And what is that policy MIR. Fillmore,
in his annual Message, has expressed Il ~
plain and uuequlvocsl terms, so Ear as re-
CARDS tho hitherto exciting topics OF the day
Let him speak for himself:
"The series Of measures lie which have
alluded are regarded BY me as a settle nent,
in principle aud suhs,ance-a fsal settlement
of tho dangerous AID exciting subjects
which they embrace.
"By tina, adlus,mea, we have been rescued
from the wide and boundless agitation that
surrounded US, and have hrm, anJ legal
ground 10 rest upon. Aad the occasion
trust, will astify me IN ExnoRrING MY couN'
TRyMEN TO RALLY UPON AND MAINTAIN THAT
GROUND as the best, II not TIE only means, OF
restoring peace and quiet to the country, sus
maintaining lnyiolate he ln'egF''y Of Inc u
nioH.
Can anything be palmer or more emPha''
icl 10 commanding tbs Presidents meas.
ures thus enforced, could his 5es, friends ask
a more complete and perfect triumph lie
has declared ths Compromise :" hnsl set.
Element of the Slave agitation by Congress,
and be exhorts his " countrymen 10 raiiyuP
o. and maintain that ground" The CPgosi-
ton Wings OF Nav York have surrendered
and expressed their Willingness to unite upon
thai basis-aHs We feel suiherlZsd from this
declaration, to proclaim that the Fugitive
Slave Bill, as ene branch ofths CemPromise,
cannot be disturbed during President FL
mores continuance IN o5Frs. e. her during hi,
srs.est term or another, II the people should
re.eiecl him.
Then We have a safe and reliable, ard an.
ninching President, IN The Chair Of State
whose acts speak for themselves, and HAYS
wen for him urqnal fed appreciation from ih'
!, Conservative portion of the people in ever,
/ part OF the country. The Southern Wing
have themselves been sgreeably disappointed
the candid Southern Democrats are dis
armed and honest men IN every quartz
forced to admit that Willard Fillmore is
National Ptesigenl--one who stood b. tn
Constitution 10 It's darkest time Of perll-sa'
cna who nav has no motive but to msintatr
goneusly, under The flag 81 the Union, all ih'
great principles lseulcaIed and enforced b,
Washington and Madison.
The day has gone by for producing an
effect by ,ae Locofucp hambug as ,oa" Fill

ard glorious triumph over tho ooll
