Fillmorc.
Never was there so general sentiment in favor of the
election of any man political office as that OF the
Southern Wings for Mr. Fillmore. With one accord they
10 cast their for him. and there are thousands OF
Southern Union Democrats who will cheeruly vote for him,
BECAUSE he has been tried and in the fearful crisis through
which we have passed. he has proved himself equal 10 any
emergency patriot wholly unintuenced by sectional con-
sideraous and President determined 10 do justice TO all

make no sectional issues do not even wish 10 vote for

ask Northern men 10 ANTE with in the election OF North

the South but simply because he has proved himself Ma
,ioua man. and has done his duIy-nothng more-to al
Iu conclusion will call your attention 10 fact which
shpd have effect those who desire the adoption OF po-
a measures more than the election Of particular ndvid
tin Tpifa Safn "a
members of whom twenty -four Wings fourteen from
the Southern States and but ten, including MI Seward
from the north aud northwest Should the Wing COnvcn
ton succeed in sec;ionazng the party, BY attempting to
curry favor with Free Suilcrs and refuse 10 nominate MI
Fillmore or ono else known by his acts TO occupy The
same national and constitutional POSITION The Wing party
rs parv thus perverted would and should cease TO exist
in the Southern States Southern wings would not aban-
don the principles for which they have heretofore commended
but would form national associations in place OF those which
such party action necessarily dssoves and ven
tre life will not be man acting with inns north
ern party calling itself Wing whose term expires
within four wears returned to the Senate from Southern
Stale You cannot hope the Senate, without the
aid of Southern votes for all experience has shown that
Northern Democrats specially skfu in playing for the
votes Of Free Sellers and Aboonsts. This is conscc-
ration deserving the attention OF party and may lnfu
cnce their action they disregard higher and nober feelings
of patriotism and nationality.
