his Cabinet undertook to maintain national posi-
ton on that measure - Union.
Is this an entirely fair and honest statement
OF facts? Was it not well understood before
the Compromise passed that Mr.. FILLMORE was
IN favor Off it? Had not Mr. WEBSTER made
his 9TH of March speech? Was it not well
known that MIR. CRTTENDEN, Mr.. CoRwIN,
MIR. STUART, Mr.. GRAHAM, and Mr. CONRAD
