But the only true way TO Judge of men is
by their acts as Of pudding by the eating.
Yet Wings are asked TO vote for man who
has lost his identity. have been mortified
TO see letters from Wings advising us 10
support him because his is the national
cause; and yet his strength is claimed TO lie
in the very region of country where the
word national is unheard. Another argument
calls upon us to go for him in order to pre-
going to dissolve the Union? Certainly not
Fremont, if he is elected. Who ever heard
of man placed in power, who desired to
dismember and destroy the very realm over
which that power was TO be exercl>ed?-
Who then? Those that would be dis pleas
ed at his election' Will any one dare to
slander the whole South with the imprta-
tion Of treason? Any man who, out of pique
and disappointment at the constitutional and
regular election Of an a,verse party candid
ate should contemplate with serious ineII-
tions the dissolution Of the glorious fabric Of
our Union, would certainly be traitor
And shall we accuse our brethren Of the
South, of one-half of the country, of this
grevious charge? The ESQ called) "Nulli-
fers" Of South Carolina never intended it.
When California was about TO be admitted
as free State, conventions were held in
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and else
where, believe, threatening to dissolve the
Union in case of her admission with the ex-
clusion of Slavery in her Constitution
Well, California was so admitted, and Moth
ing more was heard of it. And now they
try to scare you from your honest aud we'll
merited preference for one of ourselves, by
threatening that if Fremont is elected they
will dissolve the Union. Such unworthy
artiiices should never deter vote from the
support Of Fillmore.
l am sixty-three years Of age, and have
ever thought the stability of my country suf-
ficient to guarantee its blessings 10 myself
and TO my children after me, cheers and
can | be pursuaded that this glorious fabric
is TO be endangered by mere party tri-
umph for four years Of Office? have new
er been either Northern or Southern
man, and | will further say that there is
not an acre of land in the Mississippi Val
ley, from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico
which properly belong to either the political
North or South. [Cheers.] This Union
is ndivisible, it cannot be divided, and its
principles of cohesion is such as will endure
unimpaired, long after the present political
storms have passed away. Cheers. -
Factions may possibly, i'll the lapse OF ages,
though the frequent repetition OF insurrec-
tionary outbreaks and sedltions, eventually
succeed in converting it into despotism,
but the process must necessarily be sloN.-
No nation ever endured hundred years
without some intestine tumults, and We
have had our SHAY's instruction in Mas
sachnselts, aud the Nbiskey war IN Penn.
Sylvania, aud now the evil passion OF men
are kindling an unhappy strife on our bor-
der, but these are local and temporary dis
turbances, which do not affect the deep
seated foundations OF our Union. Far dis
tanl be the day OF its downfall, and you, my
Wing brethren, stand firm where you have
been, abandon not your tried position, and
after the fiery storm of this election has
passed, be able to say, I'VE call Heaven
and Earth 10 witness, that ii K Inc must
fall, we at least are innocent" The speak
er concluded amid storm Of applause, hav-
ing throughout this long address, occupy ing
nearly three hours in delivery, been listen
ed TO by numerous audience with pro.
found attention.
