foreigners became 50 bold that they appealed
from the President to the people; and but Tor
the great influence Of Washington, The coun
try would have been involved IN European
war.
Again: You viii remember. but q few
years ago. when Europe was at war, the IA.
nous Kossuth came TO this Country Tor the
asowcd purpose Of enlistmg this country;
and you remember how he paraded the coun-
try, and was toasted, and Toasted, and court
ed, until the American spirit was aroused at
his insoent proclamation that General Wash
ingtnn did not understand the theory of our
government, or the duty Of our people!
Again: In this year and the last, Europe
was engaged in mighty wars. England sent
over her Minister, with instructions TO in
terest the foreigners here and our own citi-
zens, and enlist them for service. And our
government was so indignant at the insult,
that war speeches have been made in the
Senate, aud many thought war inevitable,
and it is not vet settled.
! Again: Its known that Rome-Christian-
hating, Bible burning Rome-that boasts OF
swaying quarter Of the globe, has marked
Us as her pray. Not by war, butby insldious
wiles, more dangerous than war. And now,

As for our ticket, was il made with The
view to enable the conservative men OF both
the old parties 10 unite upon it, without any

cherished political attachments. II there is
man in the United States who had the en-

there is one oi whom the same may be said
as Democrat, II is AIR. Dunelson. One a
Wing, the other Democrat. This is our
ticket. Mr.. Fillmore, after General Fay
Tors death, discharged the duties of Presi-
Ident for nearly four years. with great ability
and with general satisfaction. He came TO

now, upon the exciting subject Of slavery.
And such MAS the propriety OF his measures

had not enjoyed Tor many years. In that
calm. the present administration came in, and
such has been its course Of mpolicy and
weakness, that Tie very storm which Mr..
Fillmore had quirte,l has been raised again,
and threatens US with destruction.
Give him back the government, and every
factinnisi, North aud South, would dwindie
down into such mere speek OF statesman
that YOU might handle him with tweezers,
and confidence will be restored, and the
storm will pass without hurt.
