Evasion Of the Issue.

The opposition press are parading be-
fore the public letter addressed by Mr..
Fillmore 10 Hon. John Gayle, July 81,
1s4s, to prove recantation OF his aboli'
ton Erie letter Of 1888. Blu, every reader
will observe that the letter TO Gale only
declares that Mr.. Fillmore does not be-
lieye that Congress has any power over
slavery in The States. This. Seward. Hale
g. Co., admit. They say that in the
States the Constitution guarantees the III
s,tution, aid they will not disturb it but,
ia the District of Columbia aud in the
Territories, they claim the constitutional
right to prohibit slavery. MI Fillmore
does not answer upon the questions al
issue, but eyades by disclaiming the power
in the States. We demand the proof that
Mr.. Fillmore has ever said that Congress
has not the power to prohibit slavery N
the Territories. or in the District o. Co
lumbia. or that he has ever sand That II
was not expedient to do SO. We are loia
that he has practically recanled his E''e
letter. Where is the evidence oil III
There never was measure involving 'he
questions raised IN that letter, presented

eauiation? Mr.. Fillmore has never au-
,hor,zed any one to say, that he has re.
canted the principles endorsed by that
letter. II Mr.. F. represented his old
Congressional District in the present Con-
qress we believe he would adhere to the
same PRINCIPLES.
