FILLMORE ELECTORAL TICKET
GEORGE P. DUNN, of Lawrence.
ANDREW w. OSBORNE, of Laport
Millard Fillmore -Expediency.

Millard Fillmore E2peo1ency-
Gen. Geo. P Morris, the veteran editor of
the Home Journal, one of the most uncom
promising old Hard Shell Democrats of New
York, speaking Of Mr. Fillmore, says
"Whatever may be said of the principles of
the party (American,) there is no denying that
they have selected noble standard bearer
He is man without reproach in his private
relations, and politician Of dislntereSted pa
triotism Although a seiEmade man, he is
possessed of varied learning and profound skill
in the science of craftsmanship.
More than all, he has a startling Roman
firmness, and is an honest man-such as the
country needs in these times. His inditfer-
ence to political preferInent is admirably
shown in his absence from petty vancouver
ings, on a tour of foreign travel, IN which he is
gathering knowledge for future usefulness to
himself and country"
Such are the sentiments of an old Democrat
An editor, who has always been, and is now
a Democrat-respecting Willard Fillmore
Such, no doubt, are the real sentiments Of the
great mass of the American people. No one
disputes Mr. Fillmores honesty his frmness,
his ability. With all these he has united e1
perience If elected, he will be no experiment.
The people will trust to neither Providence nor
luck for successful issue with Fillmore at
the head of the Government, hut they know
that under the guidance of Providence in
whose hands all good men trust themselves in
aid of their own strength and virtue, this man
can quiet the storm guide the whIlwlnd
Once before when the country was agitated
like stormy sea- the strong hand and able
craftsmanship Of Fillmore spread peace like a
garment over the country. His capabiity to
fill with honor to himself and glory to the
country the high position of Ruler Of this
People, was tried in fiery ordeal The PEG
pie know how well he bore himself-how glo-
riouslv he achieved success. He left the coun-
try In entire peace. Not a breath of agitation
disturbed the perfect calmness of its prosper
ous serenity. The American people, without
respect to party, Signiied hearty approval OF
the Fillmore Administration at its close. And
wherever this model man and President after
wards turned his steps, when once more he re-
sumed his position as a simple American citi-
zen, the people rose spontaneously to render
him honors as a man which as President OF
the United States no other man could scarcely
have claimed. Even here, in this city, when
it became known that Willard Fillmore was
passing by our borders, citizens rushed to his
presence, and almost bore him in their arms to
public place, where men, women and child
rem, could gaze upon the peoples faVorite, and
hear words of wisdom from his lips.
But now! Willard Fillmore stands the same
man he did when he closed his Administra-
ton mid the applaudits of the American peo-
pie In not single sentiment nor the shadow
of a sentiment has he changed his opinions.
Not in a word or action has he exhibited him
self less man, statesman and patriot, then
when the American people with one voice de-
clared him all these. He is the same glorious
Willard Fillmore. Yet we who support him
in these times of bitter agitation, when skill
and experience guided by National patriotism
can alone control the storm and bring peace to
the waves-we who place our whole trust in
him for safety, and regard all other guidance
as at the most and best but a dangerous ex-
periment-we who love this man so much,
and who sustain him now as we once de blended
him with our bosoms from the barhed arrows
OF opposition and enmity--,0e are called upon
5o place our trust in Others the one represent
inc Northern interests and feelings and the
other Southern sentiments, and leave this man
who knows no section, but looks only to the
whole Union. We are asked in erpediency to
desert the right-in erpediency to favor the
wrong-in eIpsdiency to do that which our
hearts condemn-in erpediency to declare a
preference, or at least vote preference for Bu-
chanan or Fremont when Fillmore our first,
best and only choice is in the field We ac-
knowledge no such erpediency as the controller
of our actions. The good christian acknowl-
edges no such expedency as demands of him
that he should serve the Devil instead Of the
Lord-and we trust no Fillmore man will be
governed by any such idea of expediency as
calls upon him to forsake Fillmore for either
Buchanan or Fremont,or for any other political
Beelzebub temptation.
