HEAR THE FLORENCE (ALADAMAl GAZETTE.
One of the Oldest and most influential Demo-
cratic papers in the State of Alabama is the Flor
ence Gazette. On the 18th of June, 1852, it spoke
OF Mr. Fillmore in the following terms.
We unhesitatingly express the ardent hope that
Mhlard Fillmore may be the nominee Of the Whie
convention. Should the nomination fall upo9
him, We should oppose his election with all zeal
but, should he be elected, we would feel that in
him the South had true and reliable friend.
We notice that several of our Democratic ron.
temporaries call him Abolition Fillmore. This
Is an unjust imputation When Mr.. Fillmore was
hrst nominated as candidate for the Vice Pres-
dency, we shuddered at the thought of his elec
ton. We saw that he had given votes obnoxious
to the South, and therefore believed him unsoupd
upon the slavery question Our heart sickened at
the prospect of his success, aud we bitterly and
violently denounced him.
but we are happy 10 say we were agreeably dis
appciuted, and that Mr. Fillmore is one Of the
sonndest men In the Union on the subject of sla-
very; and that he is a patriot and statesman.

HEAR Ex-Goy. AARON v. BROWN
This distinguished Tennessee politician spoke in
Columbia, on the 9th Of August 1852. He said
Let us now turn with every degree of fairness 10
the proceedings of the Wing Convention. They
put no interrogatores to their candidates as we
did Had they done so, Mr.. Fillmore would have
answered, will maintain the fugitive slave law,
as have done through my administration. Mr.
Webster would have answered. l too will maintain
it, as have done as Of Mr.. Fillmore's cabinet.
What would Gen. Scott have answered. Wny,
that will not answer Such response would
have turned him and all his abolition supporters
out OF the convention. This would have purified
the party, and left it standing as Of yore on high
national platform. But suppose Gen. Scott had
answered publicly that, like Fillmore and Webster,
he too would maintain and execute the fugitive
slave lawS Why then Gen. Scottwoud have stood
IN high and honorable rivalry for the nomination,
whilst the Abolitionists would have gone out
They would have said TO themselves, "What do
we do heref Fillmore is against us, Webster ia
against us, and now Scott, from whom we expect
ed better things has also come out against us.
