question why it is that the Black Re-
pnblicans of the North were making
such . lion Of Arson Burlingame. He
y confessedly man Of limited attain
ments, Of no genius Of an orator, and
has fewer Of those qualities which gen.
orally attract large audiences, than
most Of his contemporaries in Con
gress from the Northern States. Yet,
We find the ringmasters trotting him
out at almost every political gather
ing, and the newspapers giving notices
ofhis appointments, and reports Of his
speeches, which few read, and he is
considered kind Of travelling politi-
cal prodigy with which to amuss the
people.
But there is deeper and deadlier
meaning in all this pomp and parade
Of 4 man ~ weak in his head as he is
base in heart. He accepted a chai
lenge from Preston S.Brooks, Of South
Carolina, to fight duel and like
sneaking coward, appointed Canada as
the place Of meeting, and then left
Washington before Brooks could re
monstrate, or refuse to meet him there;
and on his way TO New York. well
knowing that Brooks would not haz-
ard his life by travelling through the
Free States, all alive with excitement
as the people were on account Of the
Sumner assault-he gave notice Of the
fact OF the duel to take place, and
made quite pompous exhibition Of
himself in the city of New York.
II is this act which has made him
such Lion with white cravatted hyp-
ocrites, and bawling philanthropists Of
the Greeley School, who have written
whole quires Of paper against the enor-
nifty, the wickcdness and the crime Of
duelling! A man is toasted, lionized,
trotted out at all big political shows,
and made almost God for an attempt
TO fight a duel, which bis own coward
ly appointment alone prevented. How
our political parsons, and pretended
philosophers Of the Tribune become
admirers Of the crime of ducl.ing -
No! The cause OF all this parade
over Arson Burlingame is, that he
tried to entrap the hated Brooks in a
snare which would be fatal to his life,
1t is because these northern disunion-
lists hate the people ofthe whole South
and they take this method Of showing
that not only duels, but blood, carnage
and civil war would be righteous
against the slave-holding South.
Charles Sumner, who was so shame
fully attacked by Brooks, has beer
used asAnthony used the dead body o
Caesar, to stir up fierce sectional ha
tired Of the whole North against thu
whole South, and thus prepare the
people for dis-union. They have mag
niied the crime Of one man into q hi
deous outrage, and then charged the
oct upon the entire South.
Such villainous attempts to subver
this government and tear it into ruins
deserves the scorn Of every patriot.

JNo. NJ. BORIS FOR FILLMoRE--John Minor
Botts who was an aspirant for the nomina-
ton, has written letter on the subject of
Mr.. Fillmore's nomination, from which we
take the following extract:
or Mr. Fillmore's qualifications need not
say much; few men however have had u bet
ter opportunity of forming an accurate esti-
mate Of him as public man, than has fallen
to my lot. | served with him not only on the
Committee of Ways and Means during the
arduous Sessions of Al and ~, but we were
together for nearly seven months in a com.
mittee room, on the celebrated New Jersey
contested election in '39 and 40; we were on
the same committees during the whole time
we served in Congress together; and a com
mittee room is no bad place to find out of
what material man is made.
will therefore bear my testimony in his
behalf to the effect that he is, in my belief q
safe, sound conservative, Union man, in
whose hands both the foreign and domestic
interests of the country may be contided
without detriment. A man that will not
forget in the administration of the govern
ment that there is North rs well rs a South;
and South as well as North. A man who
will secure to us the inestimable and inap.
proachable blessings Of peace, SO long as the
integrity of the country can be preserved
without an appeal to arms; but if war should
come would accomplish something more cred
liable to our fame and more flattering to the
pride of the nation, than mds the lombard
ment of Greytown. A man who would not
surround himself nor ill the public offices
with those who had borne the reproach of
seeking the dissolution of the Union.
