Most Of our Southern jonrnsls. in the interest
Of the Democratic party pretend to consider the |
question of slavery as the grsar issue ofthe COM

party. A
YET the Democratic party in the North fuses
with the Republicans and Free-soilers, when
ever it can hope by this to defeat the Ameri-
cans. s4a
If the American party be not NATIONALITY
Fillmore be not all that ths South can desire,
we would like to see the reason of the bitter
hostility of the Republicans the harmonious
opposition of all parties in the free States against
him, and the organization by which he is sup
ported. Here is difficulty which cannot easily
be solved.
The last number of the Washington Senti-
mel, we'll known for its Democratic champion
ship, speaking of a projected movement Of the
Black Republicans, says:
by this move the Seward clique would graf
ify the most relentless hate toward Mr. Fillmore
that ever burned in the heart of man. Lam
ty of this clique toward Mr.. Fillmore" 81
And why is it that the Black Republicans
feel toward Mr.. Fillmore the most relentless
hate that ever burned in the bosom Of man?
Why isit they cherish for him remorseless
enmity that language cannot exaggerated Is
it for any other reason than that Millard Fill
more, in course Of his patriotic administration
of the. Government, crushed sectional agitation
under his firm foot, and rendered justice to ali
portions of the republic alike? : Is it for any
other reason thanthat he disregarded the fero-
cious claims of Freesoilism, repudiated the
wrong principles taught himself in his earlier
manhood, and, rising superior to all selfish and
unworthy considerations, faed his calm and res
olu,e eye unfalteringly upon his duty to his
country and to his God.
| 1t is fact, equally extraordinary and revolt
ing, that, while the Northern Democratic organs
are proclaining how relentless i, the hate, how
remorseless the enmity, of the Freesoilers
] against Millard Fillmore, the Southern Demo-
cratic organs are trying to persuade their read
/ ers that he himself is Freesoiler. e
