Mr. Stephens Endorsing Mr. Fillmore

In September, 1918, says the Augusta
( Chronicle and Sentinel, the Hon. \. IL.
STEPHENS, addressed meeting of citizens
at Griffin, on the questions of the day.
I After discussing at considerable length.
the various questions that agitated the
public mind, during which he told the peo-
pie that Gen Cass' Squatterl Sovereignty
''tros 'corSe. y 0nytIing HloH the U1lhaot
| ProrjSO,' he endorsed Mr. FILLMORE s
soundness on the slavery question in the
following decided and emphatic terms
''But it has been said BY the supporters
OF Gen. Cass, that 1Ir. Fillmore was an alb
oHtionist. He (Mr. s. had for himself
examined into the matter, both from his
votes in Congress, and from those person
ally acquainted with him, and he would
assert without the fear of successful con
tradiction, that M Fillmore aros as true
a atriead to the South and Southern i5rssi-
tatio''S, as any man, Wig or Democrat,
north Of -Tasoa and Diron's line" The
charge against Mr. Fillmore was ONLY
brought up to prevent full investigation
OF the opinions and position of Gen Cass
| We recommend these endorsements OF
Mr. STEPHENS to those BUCHANAN, squat
ter sovereignty organs who are even now
at this late day, after his model admins
trdtlon, endeavoring to make the people
| believe that WILLARD FILLMORE cannot
be trusted by the South. Either Mr.. STE
PHENs did not tell the truth in 1913, OF
they do not in 1856. That is beyond dis
pute-whose veraoity is at fault an intel
ligent public will have no trouble in de
termining.
We have great many relics of this sort
on hand, which we will give from time to
time Some of them, We opine, will make
the people blush for their present positions
If they have any sense of shame left.

Cor. BENroN's ORTHODOXY ENDoRs

Col. BENTON'S S ORTHODOXY ENDORS-
ED.-At first blush, it seemed probable
to persons at a distance, that Col. Benton
would be elected. The Cincinnati En-
quircr, chief organ of the eBuchananites,
believing that such was the case, proceed
ed straightway, as will be seen below, to
make the most out of bad turn of affairs,
and in consoling itself, committed taat1
pas by endorsing Col. Benton after this
fashion
There seems to be no longer any doubt
that Col. Beuton is elected Governor OF
Missouri by a handsome majority. The
American or Know-Nothing candidate
and party are nowhere in that State
We have undoubtcd authority for saying
that Col. Benton is warmly and sincerely
in favor of the election of Mr.. Buchanan,
and will doeverything in his power to secure
that desirable result He will throw his
whole influence in his favor, and that of
course settles the question SO far as the
electoral vote of Missouri is concerned.
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-03

CALM WoRDs-The Hon. Robert G..
Winthrop, alluding to the excitement of
the times, says:
beyond almost all other periods in our
history, since we had history as united
nation-unless we are willing to see that
history brought to a bloody close and the
volume shut forever-it IS time for the
calmest, wisest, most collected and best
considered words of which any man is ca
pable. But unfortunately, though by no
means unnaturally, after the agitating
events which have SO recently occurred,
and which are still in progress, we are
hardly in a condition either to utter any
thing or to listen to anything which is not
angry, violent and vindictiye.'
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-03

GREAT Mass MEETINGs.-The friends
of Fillmore and Donelson in the North
and West intend to have series of Great
Mass Meetings, to continue until the elec-
tion in November. Such energy will not
be without its results. The Southern
Americans should do the same in the
South If We can elect Fillmore Presi-
dent and Donelson Vice President, the
Union will be safe.

MILLARD FILLMoRE.- This is the
man who in all probability, will take his seat
as President of the United States on the
fourth day of March 1857. If the people
of South Carolina were permitted to vote for
Presidential Electors he would stand as good
a chance of getting this State as Frank
Pierce; as it is there is no telling who
will get it, nobody can tell. The Legislature
vote for whom they please. and are Just as
likely to throw away the vote as any other
way-they have done 1t several times,
and will doubtless do it again. Will the
people continue to submit? We think not
As American principles prevail and abound
So all these matters will be put right
Americans must govern, we want no Pope,
no foreign influence: and no self-copstItu-
ted native oligarchy.-N. (S. C)Era

SPEECH OF A New MEXICAN IN Con
GRESs.-The Hon Miguel 4. Otero, in
whose favor the contested seat in the
House OF Representatives as delegate from
New Mexico, was decided a few days ago,
concluded speech in his own behalf in
the follwing eloquent strain:
plant my hopes upon no party plat
form seek aid from no party sources
rest my claim upon its merits-upon truth,
upon justice, and upon that sentiment
which will respect the sovereign will Of
New Mexico, whose son | am; for | am
native there, and to the manor born.
| come here not as a. successful adventu-
rerfrom the restless waters of political specu-
lation; come because Gly people sent me
| shall only return to them when you re-
ject me. But whatever your action may
be, | shall never cease to believe and pro-
mulgate the sentiments have always en-
tertained, that the brightest and happiest
day thatever dawnedupon New Mexico was
that on which she was annexed to this union.
And / here, as | have there, congratulate
her most heartily upon the happy event;
and hope that she, wheeling in the line of
her adopted sister Territories, and follow
ing in the train of this bright constella-
ton of States, shall, by strict observance
of the constitution, ,-bya proper devotion
to the principles of liberty, by keeping
step to the music of the Union, present,
in the future Of America, no mean glory
or cause her sister States to blush, either
for her want of fidelity to the bond of
Union, or the patriotism and virtue that
makes YOU one and indissoluble.

FREMoST's ONLY OBSTACLE TO Sue
Pratt and Pearce evident
ly desire to induce the South to take Mr..
Buchanan as Southern sectional candi-
date, in opposition to Mr. Fremont as a
Northern sectional candidate, and thus
array the South against the North 1t
should be remembered that there is suf-
ficiency of Northern electoral votes to
elect Fremont, and if the conservative
masses of the South were to follow such
advice, and thus dispirit the conservatives
of the North, whose opposition to the
Pierce administration, and Mr. Buchanan
as its endorser, overrides every other
feeling, Fremont's election might be re
garded as fixed fact. The Black Repub-
licans consider Mr. Fillmore as the only
obstacle to certain success, and Messrs.
Pearce and Pratt apparently desire to re-
move that obstacle.
