New views of the Constitution ' by Mr.. Fillmore.
MIR. Fremont of California, and Mr.. Day
ton of New Jcrscy,..n ruled off the course by
MIR. Fillmore in n very summary manner. In
his speech at Albany he said
We SEQ a political party prcscnting candidates for
the Presidency and the Vice Presidency, selected
Tor the first time from the free States alone, with
the avowed purpose ofclccting these candidates by
SURFACES OF one part Of the Union only to rule over
tho whole United states. Can it be possiblc that
those who are engaged in such n measure, can have
seriously reflected upon the consequences which
must inevitably follow, in case Of success Can
they have the madness, or the folly, to believe that
our Southern brethren would submit to be governed
by such n Chief Maeistratel
These are serious, but practical questions, and in
order to appreciate them fully, it is only necessary
t. turn tho tables upon ourselves, and suppose that
the south, having u majority Of the electoral votes,
should declare that they would only have Slave
holders Tor President and Nicc-Prcsidcnt; and
should elect such by their exclusive suffrage to rule
over us at the North. DO you think we would sub
mt to 1t! No, not foe one moment. And do you
believe your Southern brethren less sensitive on
TINS subject than you are. or less jealous OF their
rig It's J If you do, let me tell you, you are certain
ly mistaken.
BY the Constitution, the President must
he a natural born citizen of tho United
D'"''o, "uoV W tnlTiy i've years Olu, nave
been a resident fourteen years and must have
received a majority Of the electoral votes
The same is required for the Vice President.
II no ono receives a majority of the electoral
votes, then from those, not more than three.
who receive the highest numbers, the House
OF Representatives (%yoting by States, each
State having one votc) is to choose one for
the President "A majority Of all the States
being necessary to Il choice. It no one re-
celves a majority of electoral votes for Vice
President, then from those, not more than
two, receiving the highest number, the Senate
shall choose one for a Vice Prcsidcnt,-a
majority Of all the Senator's being necessary
to a choice. The electors from any State.
must vote for at least one of the two officers.
who is a citizen from some other State than
their own. That is all. Mr.. Fillmore saws
one must he from the slave States and one
from the free States, else there will be a re-
bellion. If that is not sciionahsm, we can
not conceive what would be. We should
not have believed that any man of common
sense would gravcly put forth such n
ridiculous doctrine. Precious few Southern
ers or Northerners will be found fools enough
to adopt it.

Same in 1920 for all the territory on the west
side OF the Mississippi, above sc > 3U,-ex-
cept for Missouri. North and South the
statesmen of the Country admitted its power
to do so. This new pro slavery democracy
has got up this ncp view Of tho Constitution !,
and declares the princ'plc Of non interference,
whilst it makes an aciuai interference of the
most outrageous character possible.
.. Contains four distinct assertions, every
one of them faisc.
3. Asscrts that this new democratic prin-
ciplc," uniformly applied, will preserve in
tact the equal rights of all the States, where
as its purpose is to weaken the free states
and to give the stare states absolute control
over the nation asserts that " the original
complcts of the Constitution will be main
tanned inyiolate''by it whereas it violates the
chief purposes for which the Constitution was
formed, and has no foundation in any of the
provisions Of that instrument.
"Rcsoired" &c. Repeats in substance the
shameless lie of the Kansas Nebraska act,
hat the purpose was to leave the actual res.
idents to decide for themselves whether sla-
very should or should not be allowed there !;
when the world kno,rs, and the southerners
admit, that the purpose of that act was to
make Kansas a STARE state, and the action of
the administration has been against the act
ual residents, and in favor Of pro. slavery in
vdders. But that is not all. In a ie%suitical
manner worthy Of the concoctcrs of this res
%olutioH, it slyly implies that the people Of the
territories have no right to do anything about
the admission of slavery till they are 90 900
in number and form a State constitution
Till then, according to the southern doctrine,
slavery can go into the territories in spite of
Congress and the will of a majority Of the
people, and that doctrine this pro-slarerv plat
tOrm as meant 10 uphoM.
a direct attempt was made to have
this southern doctrine plainly asserted in the
resolutions, and it came near to being
done. On the remonstrance of some northern
men in the Committee, because it would in
the committee were content to leave the doc
trinc thus buried up under a deceptive
hraseology. The southern papers boldly
claim that it means to sustain their own view
OF the subject. No doubt it does, and if Bu-
chanan shall be elected, the cry at once will
be that the people have sanctioned it.
"Resoircd, fnaHy.' a meaningless mas
Of words, with not a single distinct, practical
mint in it. The nca rest arproach to II 10 in
saying that it is the duty of the Democratic
purity ''to resist all m%onorolies and exclusive
| ,gislation for the benefit of the few at the
expense of the many; and as to that, the
practice of the party for a long time has been
exactly contrary to it's professions.

Az AFFECTING INCIDENTAL CniLp SAVED
BY A Doc We find the folio wing story, il
Illustrative of the sogacity of dogs, in the last
number of the Trinity Times
William Drcdgc lives about five miles from
Weavcryille, at the base of the mount Nins
which tower north of us. y short time ali CT
midnight in the morning of wednesday last,
he was aroused from his slumbcrs Ivy the
mournful howl of a dog. No menace ON his
part could rid him from the presence Of the
strange intruder. The dog continued to walk
around the cabin, still repeating his dismal
moaning aud bowling, OCCASIONAL making
an effort to effect an entrance through the
closed doorway. Surprised and somewhat
alarmed at this singular demonstration, MIR.
Dredge at last hastily dressed himself and un-
boltcd the door. when n large mastif rushed
withiL. The dog at once caught hold OF his
pants and employed every gentle means to
induce the gentleman to accompany him out
side. Mr.. Drcdge's first impression was
that the animal was mad, and yet SO peculiar
and earnest were the dumb cntrcnties, that
he finally yielded. and proceeded without
his cabin. A joyful yell was the result, and
She delighted brute now capering and wag-
ging his tail before him, and now returning
and gently selling him by the hand and pants,
he induced Drcdge 10 follow him. Their
course was up the preciritous sides of the
mountain, and soon they were forcing their
way through the snow drift that had settled
in one of its numerous embra5ures. Here
comes the wonder /! Upon the snow lay the
body Of a woman, who had evidently perish
ed from cold and exhaustion. Her limbs were
already sti1cned in the embraces Of death.
But what was the surprise Of Drcdgc to see
that faithful dog ferret out from a bundle
of clothing that lay by the side Of the woman,
n young child about two years Of age, still
warm and living. y little inspection, aided
by the pale star light and the brightness Of
snow, enabled him to discover that the per-
son of the woman was nearly naked. With
a mother S affection she had stripped her own
person, in order to furnished warmth to her
exposed infant, The trusty dog mad com
pleted her work of self-sacritice and mmola-
tion.
Mr.. Dredge Immediately conveyed the
child to his cabin, and arousing some Of his
neighbCrs. proceeded again to the mountain,
to secure from attack Of wild beasts the per-
son Of the unfortunate woman. Her body
was buried the next day.
The child and dog have been adopted by
this good Samaritan. But as yet lie has
been unable to obtain any clue to the name OF
the woman, or how she happened to stray on
the dismal mountain side at such an u%nfortu-
nate hour. The child is doing well, and is
truly a handsome boy.
