The Democratic Fugleman.

The Union objects to the application of the
chairman of the Central Democratic Committees
admitting that in former times it was just, but
alleging in exculpation that he has seen the
error of his ways, and is now sound in the faith
The Richmond Eaquirer-whose editor is one
of Mr.. HALLETT's fellow committee men
has rushed to his rescue with similar plea,
the insufficiency of which is well exhibited in
the following rejoinder by the Richmond Whig
We quote for the particular edifcation of our
neighbor:
"The reader will recollect that Mr.. Rantoul, an
other Democratic leader, brought to public notice
a series of resolutions, furiously Fressoil, which
Mr.. Hallett in lS49 submitted to q Democratic
Convention in Massac husetts, and which were
unanimously adopted. The Enquirer does not deny
the assertion of Mr. Rantoul, and comedies that
sented to be in ls49. But he the sworn enemy
to the Freesoilers Where is the evidence Where
is Mr.. Hallctts public declaration? We want his
,criften recantation. He is record for 'FfessoI
epry,chers.' He is the head man of the Democratic
party of the Union; and, while his ,critten pledge
in favor of Freeso is unretractcd there is room
for humbug. If MIR. Halett has changed, why not
say So Is he keeping dark to get abolition votesi
Or is his pretended change mere pretext to gull
the South ?
1--WE must go by the record un til an authority Of
equal weight is adduced, and must continue to re-
gard the chairman of the Central Democratic Com
mittee as in favor Of 'Fressol eueyichre.'"

"Instead of preferring the present President of
the United States my frat choice, prefer Win
field Scott; and if he shall be the nominee, have
little fear Of the result. know how difficult it 10
for man powerless, without patronage, and
without official influence, to get nomination
against the power of an Administration which
can wheel into the ranks hundred thousand
office holders, and dependents, perhaps, to the
number of half a million. | know that if they
unscrupulously use this power. it will be next to
impossible to obtain a nomination against them.
The present President is entitled to the declara-
ton from me that believe he would scorn the
use of such means. But what some of his friends
might do should not undertake to vouch for.
Their activity-premature and somewhat absurd,
as thought-seems to furnish full guarantee
that they will not be in the future suggards, and
disloyal to their practices in the past"
The above paragraph we copy from the
official report of the speech recently delivered
in the Senate by Mr.. MANGUM, of North Caro-
lima, on the Presidential question.
With regard to the alleged power of the
officer holders in securing a nomination, Mr..
MANGUM must be well aware that most of these
ofiice-holders were appointed by General TAY-
LoR's administration that by far the larger
number of them are not supposed to sympathize
with Mr.. FILLMORE in his course upon the
Compromise, and that their power is employed
in favor of the candidate who is the first choice
Of Mr.. MANGUm If there were ever an Adj
ministration which has sought to maintain itself
upon lis measures and principles, without re-
course to extraneous means of influence, it is
the Administration Of President FILLMORE. 1t

exercise his own sense of duty and policy
with regard to all public questions. The fact
is perfectly well known that here in Washing
ton, under the very eye of the Administration,
there are leading bureau officers who have
been for months actively engaged, and who are
now engaged, in welding all the influence
and patronage Of their places in favor of the
distinguished man under whose banner the
honorable Senator has so CALAMITY enlisted.
They are left 10 pursue their own course I'M
molested, because it has been no part Of the
policy Of the present Administration TO interfere
with the exercise Of private judgment among
any section Of the party which has elevated it
to power.
If the Administration is sustained, it will be
owing to the intrinsic virtues and merits of its
policy. Interpretation extended to it has been
the unbought favor of the people, not the ser
vile echo Of official voices.
We are at a loss to understand what Mr..
MASGUM intends by the premature activity"
Of the PREsIpEsr's friends. We have seen
no signs Of such activity, unless the popular
demonstrations may be so considered, which
have induced even Mr.. MANGUM to proclaim
that he understands, from evidences that" he
"cannol question, that a majority Of the people

'IDrST for the succession as their first choice"

ened Government, to maintain our International
obligation and to secure our perpetuity as people,
it is our wsest policy to encourage the most ami
cable relations and extended commercial inter
course with every national power but to interfere
with the domestic strife of none, and preserve the
strictest neutrality in the conflicts of all"
Another morsel of the Buchanan proceed
ings seems due to the services of distinguished
Whig-Mr. JOHN WILSON, who, with others,
was called upon to speak. The St. Louis
Wing papers report:
"Mr. Wilson responded briefly, but with happy
effect; touching upon his own political career, he
stated that he had voted first for Adams in 1928,
then for Clay in 1892, and for Hugh L. White in
1886; that in 1910, when Harrison and Van Buren,
went before the people, he had mounted the stump
and fought for the of the old hero of Tip
pecanoe the battle boldly fought and nobly
won; the Wing banner foated in triumph. Again,
in 1884, he supported Henry Clay, to whom, in
passing, he paid glowing tribute, abiding in
terms of the richest pathos to his present enfeebed
condition of body; said that even his political OPP
ponents dwelt with pride on the once gorgeous
brilancy of that mighty intellect, which was now
Pickering in its socket. In lSlS he for Ia ylor
and Fillmore, and stated that the former received
his first nomination in Platte City, by six Wings,
who were called the Immortal six in dcrision
He was one of that immortal six. Mr.. w. spoke
eoquently in defence of The present Admnistra-
ton; referred to the difficulties encountered in
preserving the Union; compmented the services
Of distinguished men, both Wings and Democrats;
and announced himself in favor Of the Compro-
mise measures, &C."

We are unable to make room for detailed re-
ports of all the Wing meetings which reach us
from various parts Of the Union. A late mail
from Missouri furnishes two--from Buchanan
and Jefferson counties respectively; both re-
commenting Mr.. FILLMORE for the Presidency,
and declaring un6Inching adherence 10 the
Compromise measures. We give the principal
Of the Buchanan resolutions:
Whereas, relying on tho protective policy
and conservative character Of those principles 40

party Of the Union, believe their triumph

off the British government will obtain for
reciprocal free trade with the United States in
lumber and agricultural products. we will with
draw our elaine for protection on these articles in
the British market. But would not consent to
admit American or British manufactures free, on
any terms tohateper, because would be constantly
overtrading and leaving ourselves without money
to carry our business"
We take the above from a leading Tory paper
Of Canada West, as fair sample of the kind
of reciprocity which our northern neighbors are
anxious to obtain. They camor for the mea-
sure as applied TO "lumber and agricultural
products"-the only articles they have to ex-
port; but they have no idea Of opening their
markets with reciprocal freedom to the com
modities most desire TO send. We thank
the journalist for 50 explicit an avowal of the
intentions of his fellow colonists. 1t may help
our politicians to understand the degree of good
faith manifested towards us, and the precise
value-to this country--of any system Of reel
procity that is likely to give satisfaction to
Canada.
