Mr.. Fillmore and the sewardites.


Mr.. Fillmore and the Sewardites.
The New York Tribune denies that Mr. Fillmore is
obnoxious to the Wings, in consequence OF the Compro
mise Measures one of which it still persists in calling
90 wanton, useless calling outrage the Free SPIRIT
and humane instincts Of the North though IS now
admitted in the Tribunes peculiar style of emphasis
that the Constitution the ssvehuner with cer
tain powers and puts the opposition to Mr. Fillmore
upon the following ground.
Because he has seen dit prescribe and ostraclse
many Of the most efficient and beloved Wings in the
State account Of alleged sympathy with the anti
Compromise majority Of the pary-on account oil their
support OF the candidates of the Wing party For no
better than this. Mr. Fillmore has seen mt to re.
move a number oil those Wings whom Gen. Taylor had
appointed responsible stations in State although
by far the larger number Of desirable appointments
and had been given by Gen. Taylor to lower law
men,"
To this the New York Express reoins:
90 Now we affirm there Is not word of truth in
what the Tribune here states to be fact All tRat IS
true is that Mr.. Fillmore removed some hall dozen OBJ
noxious persons calling themselves Wings, but who
were active working enemies oil Wing Administrator
The "many" Of the Tribune would dwndle down into
bakers dozen at the outside, and even oil such WINGS
and the leading among these persons who were
picked out for office and thrust into Office by the active
agency OF Mr. Seward and his devoees at Washington,
because they hostile to Mr.. Fillmore. This was
especially true oil the Buffalo appointments
knows this better than the Tribune"
There can be no doubt whatever that the opposition
of Northern Wings to Mr. Fillmore arises from his
the Compromise measures, and from nothing
else, though they dare not avow it. Even if the Tri
bunes statement of the grounds OF opposition to him
were true in New York. il would not account for the op
position evinced towards him by the Wings in other
Northern States. The grounds of all the oppos
ton Mr. Fillmore has met with from Northern Wings
may be found in theis fanatica abolition tendencies to
which he has refused pander and for which they are
determined to defeat his nomination for the Presidency
| correspondent of the New York Express, writing
upon this subject asks the question why Mr. Fillmore
who popular among the New York Wings
has become suddenly very unavailable in that State
and answers follows:
| "The ostensible lchy we all know, is that Mr.. Fill
more did certain acts OF Congress, constitution
al acts which under previously we'll established plat
forms OF the Wing party, be was bound TO sign, not u
veto-among them, the Ten Million Texas Boundary
BILL and the for the surrender OF Fugitive Slaves
Thcf is the matter-and such matter, II made sec
tiona issue of North against Mr. Fillmore IN New York
makes il i'm possible for Southern Wings who don't ho
of constitutional acts OF Congress- to 60 int
i Convention with Wings who do. Their creed is differ
ent and their principles far apart the poles
He then proceeds as follows:
ssThe Southern Wing States, rely upon IT. VIII neve
consent aid in damaging disgracng Mr.. Fillmore
They may go for any Wing candidate that they car
nv their people for but Mr.. Fillmore has stood by
great Wing principle, of no veto of constitutions
act of Congress- but for very extraordinary cause,
they will stand by him Just long effort Is mad
to punish him. damage him, for being such Wing

are certain indications yet that the principles of

can be agreed upon a-and the embarrassment in chi

ANYTHING doubt but it would earfuy reopen all tn

FORE faithful to his party well his country, why
been, and was popular in New York up to the time h
came to Washington, and they demonstrate that ever

his Wing popularity everywhere"
This, to say the least does not afford quite so brigh
prospect for the of the Wing candidate for the
Presidency some of the Wing papers have been try
ances the Wing National Convention, if shall
be drummed up, will be as harmonious a barrel full o
tomcats.
