South does not ask Mr. Fillmore TO declare
himself a "Norrhsrn man with Southern

South would blush FOR him if he were toy

persuaded that he cannot better please the
South than TO attend strictly and diligently

early completion has infused most heal

prosperity, is nbou, commencing, and tina,
where has been apathy and Indifference in
business, for want Of the incentive Of a
certain reward for labor, will henceforth be
marked by wholesome, thrifty and healthy
state of trade. We repeat, the people al

sire the completion of the work. Aud may
