MIR. Fillmore charged with tnCiting
10 Urea SON.

The National Era, the central or
gan of the Black Republicans says
Mr.. Fillmore, on his way home, wa
received by his friends at Albany, ant
made them IA speech, in which he tool
occasion grossly to asperse The peopl'
of The free States opposed to the DONNA
ton of SLAVE Po,Uer, and to stimulate
the slave holding population Of the Sout'
to the commission Of Treason. Mr.
Buchanan has neuer been guilty Of any
thing half so bad as this.
The ". Y. Courier and Enquirer
copies extracts from tbs Albany and
Rochester speeches, and remarks
This is nothing more or less than m
citing to treason. And 1t is a pretty
doctrine to be broached by man wht
has been President Of the United States.
If you want the Federal Government
preserved, you must let the South
right or wrong, name its man, and
have its way! Does Mr.. Fillmore i'm
agine that we have come to that
Does he expect us to allow that sec
tional aggression is only to be met
by sectional submission? The South
awaited itselfof the venality of a few
politicians of the North to break a
solemn compact upon which sectional
peace had been preserved for more
than generation. The North are
determined that the object of that bad
faith shall not be realized; and that
the measures which our fathers estab-
lished and the principles which they
established, and the principles which
they recognized, shall be abided by
The North adhered to what was the
national policy, while the South unite
upon new policy, which is altogeth-
er sectional. Mr.. Fillmore tells the
North that it must yield, for that the
South will not, and, without humilia-
ton, cannot. If Brutus would be at
peace with Cassius he must not hedge
Cassius in, but observe his "itching
palm" and crouch under his testy hu-
NOR.
The New York Tribune says
Virtuous achievements are not the
only passports to distinction. Great
crimes make men notorious. Our
readers will bear us witness that du-
ring the present Presidential canvass
we have hardly mentioned the name
of Willard Fillmore. We have re-
garded his unimportance as too utter
to waste words upon him. Suddenly,
however, he has doomed up into a po-
sition, not more important, to be sure,
but far more extraordinary than any
which he has before occupied. He
has has suddenly distinguished him
selfby the open and public avowal Of
such reasonable doctrines as have
never before fallen from any man who
had occupied, either otherwise or by
accident, the high official position to
which Fillmore succeeded on the death
of Gen. Taylor. Nay more--such
clear and distinct notification never
fell in the hottest and stormiest times
from the lips of Calhoun, Haync, or
McDutlie.
To resist, in the peculiar manner sug-
gested by Mr.. Fillmore, the authority
ola Chief Magistrate on the ground
that he was elected only by the votes
of part Of the States, although he
received majority Of the whole
number of electors appointed" would
be plainly and equivocally treason
the very highest crime known to the
law. Mr.. Fillmore is thus, by his own
deliberate avowal, at heart and in
intention--in all but the overt act,
which yet remains to be committed
traitor. This is no exageration, no
extravaganza of language. We refer
to the very words of Mr.. Fillmore to
sustain us, incontrovertibly, in this po-
sition- words uttered, too, when his
parrot-like prating about the Union
was hardly cold from his lips.
Well, from present appearances,
Col Fremont is very likely to be elect
ed, and by votes of the Free States
exclusively, although be is as reliable
a protector CT all the constitutional
rights of the Slave States as Mr.. Fill
more himself. In that event, let Mr..
Fillmore try on his treason. If the
Southern States do nothing else for
us in this campaign, they yet produce
hemp. at is rather an awkward
business" said Mr.. Webster in his re.
ply to Mr.. Hayne, "this dying without
touching the ground" Does our
hitherto calm and complacent Elk.
President wish to try the experiment.
