For the Delaware Republican
Ma, EptroR.-In your paper of the .. inst e an
editorial headed % The Presidential Cont est, !" and
IN extras, from speech Of Mr. Fillmore delivered at
Albany, both Of winch wish to notice very briefly.
You have undortaken, Mr.. Editors 10 the article
to which I have referred, 70 demonstrate that the
opponents Of the present Admfeistraicn who dc not
support Mr.. Fillmore will he giving their aid to
elect Buchanan. Because, asSoo aver, the struggle
In Delaware will be between Fillmore and Bushan-
an. Ithfuk very differently. II Mr.. Fillmore has
been regarded With favor in Delaware, previous to
the delivery u his Albahy speech, i am very much
mistaken 10 the intelligence and patriotism Of her
eitxsns IL they do not repuants the author Of such
sentiments Of qualification - are conteinsd in that
spesoh 9,r
contest, is whether the general government has tho
20 YER oonstitionally 10 ptohibib the insroduotioh
Of savers into the Territories tdud consequently to
prevent It's existence therer,l -an issue forced up
oyk tie coa1frB bv The yepedf fts Missouri Com
promise. Mr., Fillmore, IN his present position,
does not represent the issue and Is, consequently,
out Of the question, So far as any practical results
arc to be attained. IL p
Now Mr. Editor have q few questions to pro-
pound TO you. which wish you to answer a3iae
Do you believe that the Federal Constitution re-
cognizes Distinction between The North and South
the Rast or the West, and that the election Of q
President and Vice President both citizens Of the
free states, whether such States be Northern or
Southern, would be inconsistent with the Oonstitu
tion2 Ii understand Mr. Fillmore, he has given
IN all fmatiye answer to the above questions.
Is it net fundamental principle in our govern
ment, that the majority shall govern without
reSard to section, Mr.. Rilmore repudiates this
princtple IA I understand him E5
Do you believe, with Mr.. Fillmore, that the Re.
publican party is sectional ia It's objects and pur
poses and that tho candidates Of that party have
been selected with the avowed purpose of eectinx
those candidates by tho suragcs Of one part Of the
uniun only, to rule oyer the while Uutei States2"
II so please state what portion Of their platform
OF principles VIII bear ssleh -sS structvn. a4f
The Republican party Is emphAicdly National
party Their platform declares that" the Federal
Constitution tue rights Of the states and the Union
o. the states shall be preserved, "
They deny the right of the Federal Government
TO interfere with slavery In the States where 1t
lists relieving thas the people Of euch States are
alone responsible for lbs existence. They believe,
however, that" the Consultation eonfers up Cen
gess power the Territories Of the United States
for their governnsntand that In the exercise Of Ihs
power is both the tlghtand the duty of Congress
prohibit In the Territories those twin relies If bar
balisb -Pelygamy aud slavery. JEFFERSON.
