Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1856-07-05

Actions SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
Mr.. FILLMORE has just made speech
at Albany, N. Y, which his southern
friends will doubtless repeat as an evil
dence of the patriotic devotion to country
of their candidate for the Presidency
1t is true that he is eloquent in astonish-
ment at the sectionalism of the Black
Republicans in presenting their ticket,
and speaks warmly of the dangers to be
apprehended from the success of that
ticket. If Mr.. Fillmore has uttered his
true sentiments in this speech, bis admi-
rers in the South have as much reason
for astonishment at his continuing to be a
candidate for the Presidency, as he has
expressed at the action of the Republican
convention. If he feels such horror at
the idea of FREMoNT's election, they will
wonder why he does not, by retiring
from the field, place Fremont's defeat be-
yond peradventure, and take to himself
the credit of helping to save the country
from the disaster he SO much deprecates.
No Fillmore man in his senses will DENY
that, as matters now stand, every vote
cast for him will contribute to Fremont's
chance of success, and that the only prac-
teal way for Fillmore to s'make a clean
breast Oft" is to cooperate with the
host of national Wings who are now man
fully fighting in the ranks of the only
party that can effectually restrain the
Republicans from breaking asunder the
bonds of orr Union, and spreading anar-
chy and civil war through the the land.
After such an apparently patriotic out
burst from Mr.. Fillmore, if he does not
Immediately thank his friends for the
honor conferred on him by nomination,
aud then withdraw, he will have no right
to complain of uncharitableness should
any of his old friends take it into their
heads that his actions are not quite as
patriotic as his words, especially when it
is remembered that the Black Republi-
cans rely, to great extent, for the sue
cess of their cause upon the very party
at the North, of which Mr.. +. is men,
Der, and that the only hope he can pos
sibly have for anything like respecta-
BILE vote,is by dividing the South between
Mr.. BUCHANAN and himself; defeating an
election by the people, and devolvihg
that duty upon the House of Representa-
tives, who would discharge it in the same
spirit that resulted in the choice of
BANKS as Speaker.
For ourselves, we hesitate not to de-
clare that we discern in this speech
buncomJe,' and nothing but 'buncombe.
Mr.. Fillmore, since his return from his
European tour, has learned the cireum-
stances under which he was nominated
has heard of the secessionists and their
proceedings; and has witnessed such
ominous defections from Americanism to
Republicanism, as not to leave anorthern
spot left upon which he can plant his
standard and he now turns his eyes with
holy horror, and extends both hands in
supplication to the South to save him,
and through him the country, from the
consequences Of his rashness, by COM
hitting an act of rashness herself that
would betray her own folly, and probably
terminate in a calamity that would dig
the grave of all she most dearly cherishes.
