are somew hat different from those entertained oy many
Others nevertheless, he has displayed tnat wlSuo'n'
ability and Justice in the administration OF the gov
ernment which will insure him place IN the oosohs
of all true patriots that me nor the changes OF ne'
can ever efface. He had drawn around him the love
and esteem of both parlies-they were beginning 10
look him in the hours OF peril as their great refuge
The current of human affairs gliding peacefully
along, and were happy in the contemplation OF
bright future. The of Fillmore and national
prosperity seemed linked together But In the mos'
of these delightful expectations change comes over
the spirit of Dream The great monarch oil the helo'
with green laures on his brow, comes marching up
on u.s. TO the music of Seward & Co., and with sword
red with the pories of recent war, cuts asunder the
cord that bound the lamented Fillmore to his
own party-he is political corpse, and the
plume of Scott is waving in triumph over him. VINO
is Scott! man from the army, and familiar win
buod-accusomed 10 rule with an iron rod, his eocts
have ever been promptly obeyed. He is CHIEF OF
the only despotic branch of our government. Ihe
only act he ever did in relation to civil affairs was
the letter he wrote recommending the annexation OF
Iyapado-uhOSe freeSOll-ihe
which would be TO add tensold power 10 the North
and enable them destroy more easily the Instltu-
tions OF the South. "Tell Inc who you stay win
and will tell you who you are, is an old and true
maxim then who is SCOTS warmest friend! w flllam
H. Seward. Who secured his nomination? William
II. Seward. Who herads his fame and continually
utters euogies to his character William II. Seward.
Who is William Fl. Seward! The vest abolition
is that lived Who The leader OF the free
soil party in Congress, and kept up the excitement
on the slavery question? William Fl. Seward-a
man powerful do injury, and forgetful of light.
Who has been the most dangerous opponent to the
fugitive-save law This man William Fl. Seward.
He is the strongest enemy the South ever had, and
yet has been left 10 him 70 suggest proper person
10 be the President both of the South and the NORTH,
and Scott is his choice.
Throw by his position without the pale of civil
affairs, his home has ever been upon the tented held
Long used 10 the cannons roar and the clash OF arms

the troubled ocean Of civil discord-and how by |

that the Wing party ever had-and for what
Is Cesar truly dead, and shall Brutus tell the
Of his death ?-hen hear him:
SEwARD.-Americans, countIymen and lovers, hear |
me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear; |
believe for mine honor, a.I lave respect TO IN inc
hOnor, that you may believe censure me in your |
wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the !
better Judge. If there be any in this ration, any dear
friend of Fillmore's, TO him say that Stewards
spect for Fillmore not less than his. If, then,
that friend demand why Seward against Fillmore,
this is my answer Not that l respected Fillmore |
less but that loved Scott and the glorious of
Abolitonism more. Had you rather Fillmore we're
living. and the institutions of the South remain I'M
molested, than that Fillmore were dead and your |
slaves become free! As Fillmore had his country 5
interest heart hated his principles. As he was !
fortunate in having been elevated to the highest office
in the world, regretted it, AS he displayed wisdom
and ability, while in Office, envied him, but he
was friend 10 the South and firm supporter of the
Constitution, slew him. There is hatred for his
PATRIOTISM regret for his fortune envy for his WISDOM
and death for his devotion to the Constitution Who
is here SO base would see any a bondnan
If any speak, for him have offended! Who is here
dastardy that would not sink into deepest hell that
Infamous compromise, with the fugitive-slave law
fostering in its carcass! If any speak, for him have
l offended! Who is here so vile that would not will
Ingly see the institution of slavery crushed forever,
even at the point of the bayonet? If any speak, for
him have l offended l pause for a reply.
GENTRY, ToOMBs, STEPHENS, MARSHALL AND |
CALDwELL.-N1any, Seward, many. Scott, your bo-
som friend, shall never WELD his iron sceptre this
great people.
GENrHV.-No, never; will go to my own Ten
nessee, and there will pray for Rome, and if one
vote can defeat your choice, the man that will
cast it..
SEwARD.-Ye traitors to cause ! what more /
could expect! Your hearts are black as Fmore's
and here comes his dead body mourned by Webster
II leave you, have done my work.
WEBsTER-FTends and fellow citizens, lend me
your ears-I come to bury Fillmore, praise him.
Seward hath told you that Fillmore was patriot.
He thinks that is grievons fault, and grievousy /
hath Fillmore answered it. l come speak in Fill
more's funeral He my friend, faithful and lust |
to me. But Seward says he was patriot and Sew
ard Is an honorable man. l speak not dsapprove
what Seward says but here am to speak what do /
know. You all did love this Fillmore once, and not
without cause. What cause withhods you then to
mourn for him? Oh, judgment thou art fled to l
british beasts and men have lost their reason. Bear
with me my heart is in the coffin there with Fill
more, and l must pause till it comes back to me.
CITIZENs.-Me thinks there is much reason in his /
sayings, if we consider rightly of the matter; Fill
more has had great wrong, fear there will worse
come in his place, if SCOTS the man. Hank re great
Webster, speak again
WERsTER.-But yesterday the word of Fillmore
would have stood against the world. Now lies he
there, and none so poor to do him reverence Nv
countrymen! If l were disposed 10 stir your hearts
and minds to mutiny and rage should do Seward
wrong. should do Scott, Hale and Giddings iniu-
~ quite grevous; but that is not for me to do-pos
terlty will pay them for their palms, But here's
parchment with FilImors's seal found it in his
closet; tits his will. He leaves you this great gov
