"Millard Fillmore is the decided favor
lie Of the South, for the coming Presiden-

idence of Louisiana. Here the wing party
is a unit, in regard to their preference one

Enthusiastically. Should Mr.. Fillmore decline
the candldature, as has been iutimated.
Daniel Webster would be probably the
second choice Of the South. Gen. Scott

men who stand conspicuous in the demo-

The time has gone by when such a fraud
could be played of upon the country. At
a moment of great excitement, when many
iancied the Union really. in danger, this
game might have been attempted. Bat
the eyes Of the country have been opened.
The extent of whig loyalty to the Union
has been measured, The object OF Web.
ster's innumerable and 'sickening speeches
is transparent. Tlse motive of "EIIlmore' S
professions and patriotism is understood.
The PRESIDENCY, is the end and aim of
all, aud nothing they can say or do, nothing
they can promise, neither their pledges,
their prayers, moi their threats can enlist a

Their plots are us shallow as their patriot

one moment beyond The election; aud even
though they be now sincere, q lifetime of
repentaacc would not atone for the aid
Fillmore and Webster have rendered to
the aboliiiouists. Their acts, their votes,
their speeches are on record; and there are
not W men in this country, or in any
country, who have done more to call into
being, Dourish, organize and convert to a
political purpose the anti-slavery feeling
