A few weeks ago, and in fact but a few
days, many of the opposition expressed an
entire willingness that the result of the e.

of strength as between Buchanan and Fill

the most important political canvass which
has ever agitated the people of this confede-

trembling for the safety of the Union-we
can only now urge the great Democratic

beams close in upon as great political VIC

that the Democracy of Augusta, and High

tainly important, and particularly 50, I
sEoua suppose, III the eyes of the Wing,
for find in that paper of the 9th inst, in
an editorial article, the following language
VIZ:
The question now comes up, what has
Mr.. Fillmore done to render him less wor-
thy OF the homage end gratitude of the
South? Has he done a solitary thing to
weaken the confidence of the South in hi,
integrity, his patriotism, his WISDOM his
moderation, His firmness, his perfect roia-
bltity on these exciting sectional issues that
now divide and distract the country and
even thrcatet To sdbvert and destroy it ut
terly? Has he done any thing At all to
make Southern mcn suspect his fidelity, his
honor, &c
els there any thing of which he has been
guilty in the slightest degree calculated to
cause Southern men to distrast aud q fear
him, and to make them vote against him ;
in the name of Heaven why do not his enc
mics point it out, instead of dealing in base
inuendo and unfounded ASSAULT
After this | might question the honest
desire of the Wing to be enlightened on the
subject Of such vehement inquiry.

luded was certainly in the editors posses
sion 3! Let me ask the Wing through your
columns, Messrs: Editors, if letter from
Mr.. Fillmore to YIN. NJ Cornell. the Cam
didate of the American party of Massachu-
sets for high Office, in which Mr.. Fillmore
says that, he is utterly opposed to the eX-
tension of slayery into any territory, or the
admission Of any more slaveholding States
into the Union and that, he deties any one
to prove to the contrary ; that his sentiments
are entirely misrepresentcd by those who
would attempt to prore the hhlding by him
OF views dissimilar to those Of the Fremont

Glory enough for one dav p


Iss' This was the exclamation of the last
True American at the result of the Penn
sylyania election which was then supposed
to have gone for the Fusioaiss, but which
has since been ascertaincd to have given a
majority of near 5, 800 for the Democrats.
How any one with Southern heart beating
in his bosom can rejoice at such result is
more than we can see. AS far as the cleo
ton Of State officers was concerned the re-
suit would have been Of little consequence
it was the moral effect this election would
have, as foreshadowing the result in No
vcmber, that caused all eyes to be turn
ed To the keystone State j hence the
anxiety of the Democracy, and hence the
glori6eation of the opposition, when they
supposed they had carried the State by an
union Of all the t:ns and factions in the
State. To be beaten, under such circum-
stances, would have been GLORY enough J"
but to glory in triumph under such cir
cumstances, when it is proven by the ex-
hibits of that election That the majority of
the opposition favor Fremont-there being
but two American candidates elected to Con-
gress-is, to say the least Of it, passing
strange, and regarded by many as little
better than treason to the South.

tuPy o. q communication sent to the Hlch-

Protesting to love candor and fair dealing
and also suppoSihg that the supporters OF
Mr.. Fillmore for the Presidency regard him
as not opposed to, but rather favorable in
his opinions to the Southern view of Con-
stitutional right to take Slave property into
tie territories and the admission Of slave
States into tie Union; and pregumins far
tier that Mr.. Fillmore cannot desire 10 de-
ceiye any one whose vote he is willing to re-
celve, cannot forbear from asking YOU,
and all holding sentiments such as you adj
vocate, if there is consistency in Mr. Fill
more's avowing to his friends at the North,
that he is utterly opposed to the extension
OF slavery into any territory, or the admis-
sion of any more slave States into the Union,
and that he deiies any one to prove the con-
trary; and yet farther lie declares his senti-
ments to be utterly misrepresented By those
who would attempt to prove the holding by
him of views dissimilar to those of the Ere
mont Republican party
| do not pretend to give tire exact words,
as cannot recall them verbatim to mind !:
but there is letter, written by Mr.. Fill
more, in the possession of citizen of this
city, who is a candidate for high office in the
State government, of the Fillmore party, in
which he declares in substance as stated
above
As a either of tic Union, and equally a
friend to the rights of all persons and Sec
tons, throughout its wide borders, | cannot
feel it to be right, that any spirit should rule
our conduct but that of brotherly kindness
and eandor, and am greatly at loss to
understand why Mr. Fillmore should write
such letter as that alluded to. Is it pos
sble. that he would deceive and betray the
South; or would he mislead his Northern
supporters Che or the other conclusion
seems inevitable, if your statement of his
feelings and proposes are correct. You
need not doubt the correctness of the state
ment that Mr.. Fillmore has written such a
letter as | have mentioned 1Ir. Fillmore
cannot deny it ask, then, Which is to be
deceived, the South or the NORTH?
