The Wing sentiment of the county, says
the Baltimore American, has special right
to be gratifed with the opinions that Mr..
Fillmore, with manly frankness, has declared
to be those upon which he goes into the
canvass. They have about them the true
love of the Union, the broad nationality and
real conservatism that at all times challenge
the respect of Wings. We feel that they
are sentiments which under the same cir.
cumstances would have been proclaimed by
Henry Clay or Daniel Webster, and there
fore IT is that since their utterance the Wings
Of the country are rousing from their apathy
and recognizing the duty and privilege they
have in coming forward to sustain one SC
worthy of their support and from whose
election they have the right to expect result:
so beneficial to the country. The effect Of
Mr.. Fillmore's declaration of principles up.
on his opponents has not been less marked
His earnest exposure and denunciation o.
sectionalism have brought upon him the bit
ter attacks of the New York Tribune ant
the journals it leads, and with concentra
ton Of hypocricy, they, the supporters of
party sectional in all its purposes and, W,
fear, but little short of reasonable in it
motives, are branding him as traitor to hi
country, because he points out the fact tina
their success must tend to disunion and t,
the destruction Of the country. Mr.. Fill
more and his friends may well accept tn,
challenge thus thrown and appeal to tn
people 10 determine which of the two par
ties is most just to the North, fair to III
South, and true to the whole country.

W Tho design of the President to send
Gen. Persifer F. Smith to Kansas has been
assertedy and denied, and is now re.nsserted.
His instructions it Is said, are emphatically to
prevent any armed invasion from any quarter,
and to afford protection to peaceable settlers
at any cost. Col. Sumner will retain. his
present position in Kansas, subject to the Or
ders Of Gen. Smith, who is entrusted with
large discretionary powers, and is fully pos.

ANOTHER IoCoFoco GUN SPIKED!


trrom the Mobile Advertiser, Of September, 1881
We take peculiar pleasure in laying before
the public the subjoined letter from Mr.. Fill
more, on the subject of Abolition, which has
been furnished us by Gov Gayle for publiea.
tion. twill be found frank and explicit, and
all that any Southern man could expect from
n citizen Of free State. Indeed, II is perfectly
sound-all that the South could ashland
stamps indeIibly with falsehood the charge of
Aboitionism. which the Locofoco press Of
the South have been endenvoring to fix upon
the distinguished and patriotic writer There
is not prominent man Of any party north Of
the Potomac, who is freer from all taint or
suspicion Of Abolition-none who, in feeling
or principle, is further removed from fanaii-
cism, none entertaining sounder or more con.
servative views, and none more ready to
stand by the Constitution, and the rights Of
the South guaranteed by the Constitution,
than Millard Fillmore. Read, Southerners,
read. ......
Governor Gayle, in transmitting us the
letter, writes rs follows:
MOBILE, 30th August, 1848.
Dear Sir: ! will thank you to publish the
enclosed letter 10 the Advertiser.
Before loft Washington, saw the South.
ern Democratic papers were asserting reck.
lessly, and, ms believed, without the slightest
foundation, that Mr.. Fillmore was an Aboli-
ZIONIST. ! addressed him letter on that sub
a
Though this charge is made with blindness
in the South, will venture to affirm that no
respectable man Of either party in the North
is sounder than Mr.. Fillmore, and as between
him and General Cuss an advantageous com.
parison could be made.
Respectfully, your obedicnt servant,
