suspcion OF sympathy with aboi'ionism
In order 10 concentrate upon the Cabinet Of President
Pierce the utmost possible odum the lg places II IN
panfu contrast with the Cabinet OF President Fillmore
But, the eucomium Of the Wig on The Cabinet oil DIR. fl-
more is as extravagant and unmerited as lib phlppc
agains, The Cabinet OF MIR. Pierce
n contrast with all this we ieailessly put the conduct OF
the Wing party and iis most recent representative MI

nens and be cusoders oil the trusts conded by The cae-
raj Government!
In the language Of defiant inquiry the Hfi conveys
an emphac assertion thai President Fillmore made no up
poin,ment OF an contemporaries man or Ftce'soi-
err to office No wonder that this allegation situnE
from direct and manly uerance. II Mf Webster
was not "iree- sois" neither was Preston hing nor
John Vim Buren, against these very gentlemen
that Mr. Webster brought charge 0i grand larceny io
stealing his lhunder and Incorporating II INTO Tie BIiao
platform In the Abingdon speech OF Mr. Webster ana ilh
his more recent speech Buffalo, we find sentiments on
slavery such as the present Secretary Of STATE would fepu
diate will, Indignation. Yet Mr. Webster was the only
northern man in the Cabinet Of Mr. Fillmore who could pre-
lend 10 claim the confidence o the South was mol l"
Corwin an nboonsl Was not Jacob Colamer free
soIe o. Was MOI Nathan Hall of the Seward stripe IN
deed was not Mr. Fillmore himself much the Toe OF sia
very a. John Van Gnren John A Dix Whatever dohb
there may be as the position Of the Chief there can be no
DISPUTE about the opinion Of his snbonilnatcs
Such being lie Of The Cabinet there 's no need
of descending and post offices 10 ascertain
the sentiments The lower officials in The Fillmore ADMIN
isrsliou The parallel need be farther IL IL shih
GENTLY evident that the contrast drawn by The Hhy &c
fleets dpctedit only on it's own party
