F'illinore's Southern Credentials,

Mr. Fillmore has u long list of credentials
recommending him to the confidence and SUP
port Of southern Know Nothngs We shall
soon commence giving them in full, for the
present we will only offer the following for
their temporary digestion. These congress
sloual records are stubborn truths and nm
commonly annoying.
"Whie Willard Fillmore was member az
Congress he voted for bill introduced Inv
John e. Adams, the notorious Abolitioujsf
authorizing the enlistment of free negroes in
the army and navy, with privileges to be pro-
NOTED to lieutenants, captains, majors colorelS
and generals. This is another of the 0formcr
acts" of Willard Fillmore, to which he invites
Southern men as q recommendation to support
him for the Presidency. Mr.. Buchanan never
gave such vote "---1hbama Sentinel

TIE BARGAIN PROPOsED-THE SOUTH TC
BE SACRIFICED.

The following deserves important considera-
ton coming as it does from Mr.. Fillmores
homc orgam, the Buffalo Commercial Advert
ser
" In the first place, we may state that the
election OF Col. Fremont by the House is an
impossibilty. The fifteen slave States and
California would vote against him, beyond
pcradyenture, under all contingencies. The
contest would therefore be between Mr.. Fill
more and Mr.. Buchanan. In this aspect of
the case, what is the probability? The dele
cations from Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Missouri are American. Mr.. Buchanan's
vote would, therefore be limited to twelve
States Mr.. Fillmorc's friends would undoubt-
eddy stand firm, and it would be for the North.
crn States, represented in the House by
Americans, to say which of the two should be
chosen. Can there be any reasonable doubt
that under these circumstances, the choice
would ultimately fall upon Mr.. Filnrore?o
We call attention particularly to the two
closing sentiments of the paragraph. The
Northern States, represented in the House Jy
americans are appealed to, and who are these
Americans of the Northern States who are
thus called upon? The very same who elected
Banks.
In this arrangement between the friends of
Fillmore and Fremont in the House, the south
is to be sacrificed and why? because in the
House, the south is almost entire for Mr.
Buchanan and the friends of Fillmore, in the
North, therefore more particularly sympathisc
with and desire to make arrangements with
the Black Republicans, should the election 90
to the House, The people of the south have
their all at stake in this election and these
bold movements shonld be needed by them
Surely Know Nothingism will not be permit
ted to betray the South into the power and
control of Black Rcpublicanism.

that modern Sodom, (San Franeisco) whois above

he is the most popular man in San Francisco. As
an eminent Jurst, Judge, ana an honest man, he is

With regard to politics, this State will 60 Demo-
cratic by 1000 to 5000 majority. The Know Moth
ing party here is abotonizng itself as fast as pos
slble. The Southern men, and those friendly to
Southern interests, are leaving them and pouring in
TO the Democratic ranks in perfect stream. Ii
seems to me miraculous that any Southern man
should allow his old party predictions, or his antp-
athy to the Democratic party, so to obscure his men
tai vision as to incapacitate him to decide or cause
him to hesitate a moment to the banner under
which he will fight in the coming contest
Butprobably have better opportunity here. in
State made up Of men from every part of the
Union, OF deciding what peculiar caste of men can
readily affiliate with this Know Nothing party. Ny
observations have been close, my personal acouan
lance with members of some ten divisions authorize
me in saying that have yet to find single man
from the North, belonging to that party, who is n
friend to Southern institutions Their political
creed runs after this ftshionviz Opposition to the
repeal of the Missouri Restriction; down on the Kan
sas act; could hang Judge Douglas, Gen. Cass. and
other great national men Of the North; revere and
idOlize such men ny Hale, Seward Giddings and
Sumner; read with delight all their reasonable
speeches in denunoation of Southern interests; and
yet these very men say, Oh, Pm no aboltonist"
On the other hand, have never seen single
Democrat, from the North or elsewhere who was
not an enthusiastic supporter of Southern Institl-

Was not Mr. Fllmore's record as open then rs now?
Why this long delay? Does it speak confidence and
assurance in their candidates, or does il tell differ
ent tale? The times are not so out of Joint. but
that Southern men. and particularly Southern Know
Notbings, must eventually see, that the contest is
between Slavery and Black Republicanism; between
law and fanacism; between the Constitution and
disunion; and IN this issue can Southern men long
delay which side to choose? All that is necessary
is for them to feel that such is the real ISSUE and
their votes will fall rightly, the false teachings of
the report to the contrary notwithstanding.

For the Advertiser,

Mn. EDITOR: We 10 not object to any one, on
account Of an honest difference of opinion with our
selves, in any particular whatever. We appreciate
our friends none the less because they do not agree
with us in every thing. All men have the right of
thinking and acting for themselves, in an honest
manner, and hence, we would not fall out with
those who honestly differ with us in opinion, as it
regards division Of our District; but we do, in
the most positive terms, reject those milk and
water characters who have no decision of character
whatever, but are continually Auctuatng and chang
ing, to suit surrounding circumstances, and to ac-
complish some dcmoniacnl purpose in the destruc-
ton of others A writer, of the mill and water
class, no doubt, in recent number OF the Adrer-
tiser, has charged the whole Saluda regiment Of
nsincerity in the Division movement; whose mani
fest design is to sever the Division party, and, il
possible TO throw discord and confusion into our
whole party. Wepity the man-and treat hin, with
that contempt he deserves-that would openly
charge upon the whole Saluda regiment thing that
every one knows to be false. 1t is known, and
needs no proof, that we ore fully identified with the
people Of the lower extremtes Of the District, who
desire Court House at Aiken, in the division pro.
ject Our memorial fully demonstrates this fact,
and our plan Of division, as published, cOrroboratsH
the same. We have even been willing to unite
with the upper aud lower extrcmitles, in the Dis
trct, in the division movement; always leaving old
Edgefeld an ordinary District, and wo pledge our.
selves TO our friends in the upper part of the Dis
trct, to assist them, when desired, in what we be-
lieve would greatly conduce to their happiness and
prosperity, namely: A District composed Of the
lower part Of Abbevile and upper part OF Edgcfed
