This paper commenting on the Arguments advanced by
the Union to show that the Compromise, national party
question, was more in harmony with the democratic
than the wing platform, instead OF answering ar
gument, falls into a real Rip Van Wrinkle slumber and
wakes up with the idea that but deranged per-
son could entertain opinions. Possibly, now tina,
the whig convention of Pennsylvania has nominated the
aboonst Johnston, and rejected by of three to
resolution pedging the party to the faithful
ton Of the fugtve-save law, the editors OF that journal
may be led 10 be less extreme in their claims for the
thodoxy Of their party this subject
The Raleigh Star would do good service if il would
point single fact authorizing the belief that the whig
party is not now much Of free-sol ii was
in ls4s when Mr. Webster said tina, stood on the Buff
falo platform. and, far principle concerned,
might even elect Mr. Van Buren, instead of General
Taylor.
But if the Raleigh Star is SO sincere in its conviction
that President Fillmore is estopped by anything he has
said written from signing bill which would re-
peal OF modify the fugitive law, it will not only do
its party great favor. but the whole country also,
by proving the fact; and we promise that any ar
tcle that may appear lis columns, thought to possess
this merit, shall be cheeriuly transferred to ours We
undertake TO affirm that there is no substantial differ.
between the opinions OF President Fillmore and the
abolitonist Johnston the subject Of the Compromise,
far as it contains provisions which are repealable
by Congress; and if the Raleigh Star is disposed to dis.
this question: refer it to the leading editorial in
the Union OF the l4lh instant, expression of the
grounds we occupy in support of opinions In that
editorial give President Fillmore full credit for all
that he has promised the friend of the Compromise
but we show, ALSO that the three conditions on which he
has placed the right of the his hands do not
ate pledge that he will veto bill repeating or modify
ing the fugitive slave law, should such one be passed
