..rhcrs 1. NO Danger of Di.unionn

our government has passed through many fearful
crisis, weashered many political storm, and so
FIRMLY snd steadily has the ship OF State sailed on,
needless of shoals sunken rock and shifting bars,
which beset IL on every side in the ocean OF poll'
tics, that its friends have come to loOk upon pre-
sent dangers as temporary incidents in the voyage,
which will psss away, leaving the sky serene as
ever. "The Union in danger" is a "Roorback" IN
their ears, gotten up for political effect TO brighten
the tinid and refractory, and bring them back to
obedience. They do not stop TO consider that what
| has been cried 80 often may at length come true;
that many stately vessel which has Weathered
| the storm has at length succumbed TO the winds
and waves. and il not swallowed in the pulsng seas
has been drifed on lee shore, helpless, broken,
rotten macs, stripped Of its former beauty AMI only
1 ht for the t.abitsion of reptiles.
1.-THE Union iu danger!" Yes, the Union is in
imminent danger. Is il not surrouned by political
pirates, who TO subserve their own bad endsWoulf
rend il into a thousand pieces Men born beneath
our glorious flag; men who have imb0ed lie and
nourishment from patriotic mothers, sre found at
/ Qua very door ranked on the side OF that hydra
headed monster of ianaticism, yeept Repubicanism
men who, filed with bad passions
"steang livery Of Heaven to the devil in"
would, with fair speech. covrrtly induce US to
trsmple upon the Constitution that glorious char
ter OF the rights of man, bequeathed by patriot
sires az the dearest legacy they could give their
posterty-men too, who openly advocate sections
alism, secession, disunion and renegacy-men who
throw their caps to Heaven that they may return
TO them filed with vipers from that nest OF every
modern evil and dire mishsp-Republic
''fhe Union in danger!" Can it be otherwise
when great party at the North deliberately, and
III defiance OF every social compact make war upon
the South, its rights and domestic Institutions, by
nominating for the Presidency q man who has
aVowed his determination TO support his fellow
fanatics in this aggression, even at the risk OF an
iuIernecine war-the horrors OF which the widest
Imagination may not picture-in every disloya
adventure they may attempt against the sovereign
States of the South.
1.-The Union in dsnger!" When We behold men
cOnsecrated TO the service OF God deliberately
throw to the GunghiIl the sacred word, spit upon
its precepts, descend from the pulpit, and enter,
gladiator like the political arena, aud stir the blood
vi their poor dupts TO frenzy-every patriot may
well exclaim 1.-THE Union is IN dangei!" The dam
ger from the interference oi theOogian-, VITO, art
fully stizing upon the religious pr.judices Of men,
striving to rend ssunder the family tie, the SO
cIal compact, the very cUnfedeTacy Itself.
Whom then, in view OF the dangers which be
set Tie ship OF State, in which freightrd the
hopes OF mankInd-tven for unborn g-nrraions-
should wise, calm. refrcting patriots select as Pilot
Tor tue emergency? James buchanan! Ine man
Who ha- Teen a wagering follower OF party from
his youth up; vino changs LA opinions as siliits
the WInd WHO bows TO The il hIcLces Of the hour,
and Is Obedlent silent to his followers when great
questions come up--Ihe man who is so eager for
power, that he deliberately merges bis manhood 10
the platform he is called TO stand upon Surely,
no man who loves his country Will select James
Buchanan as the pilot OF she ship o: State III the
storm that is now raging Under his command, We
should be wrecked on the first shoa that lay in his
path
Shall we give the pilotage to John c. Fremont!
God forbid The man who has been false 10 his
friends, ingraE- TO his adopted State, insubordi-
nate IN every Of his life, is hardly the man with
whom to entrust the destnies OF this great nation
He is surely not proper man in whose hands to
eutrust the interest and happiness OF millions of
people Even we're be honest, which he is not,
would he, ignorant Of the political seas, devoid of
experience be the proper person to seize the helm
OF State, and guide the ship safely to harbOr? Hot
headed, soldier by profession, VIGOROUSLY deficient
in every attribute which makes the experienced
Statesman, John e.. Fremont would be tool in the
hands Of incendiary partz4ns, the cats paw OF men
VINO will il the devil avors them, sundrr the strong
clasps which fathers forged that might last
eVermoIe! No man-no patriot who loves the
glorious Union will or can vote for a cipher alike
devoid Of honesty, honor, truth, experience, or
political sagacity.
Who, then, in this crisis, would men who love
their country rally around their pilot? Is there
statesman OF enlarged experience, OF calm re-
6ecton, anu jackson like determination, TO support
the right-no man who has proved his heart large
enough to take in the difficulties and nourlsh the
interests Of the whole country-no man who can
not be blown about by every wind OF doctrin'-no
man who will steadily persevere to the end placing
his trust in God; keeping ever in view the cOnsti
tut his polar Star, the cOhederacy as his COM
gross.
Yes, there is such a mana man in whose hands
the Union Cannot be endangered man Who has
gHiJed the ship OF State man against whom not
one word in dispsragement can be honestly sp0k
en- without branding the uIterer Q falsiter That
man is nov before the people, placed ihers rs the
leader of who love their country, their whole
country, aud nothing but their country. WILLARD
FILLMORE is the Only that can safely be en-
trusted with the high Office of President. In him
we behold the tried patriot, the honest man, who
will boldly gr4pple wi the Ira healed monster,
Fanaticism, that ID seeking TO rtnd our glorious
Union; destroy our heritage a people, aud make
US the laughing stock OF the worlds miserable
class, at which the finger OF scOrn may well point
as the bstrayers of mankind Who, then, shall
true patriots rally around? Who but MILLARD
FILLMORE can safely bring the ship o: state to her
mornings aud bid the raging storm be still-N T.
