..sUBMIssIoN OR REsISTAECE."- THE NATION
AL INTELLIGENCER FOR FILLMORE OR FIRE
MONTH
Under the head of SUBMISSION RESISTANCE the leader
of the National Lteilgeneg yesterday morning COM
mences with the following sentences:
We yentured few remarks days ago remonstra-
ting against the extreme not to say o'okedness OF
practice which has lately sprung among ooeeated part
sans in parts the that of threatening
or the downfall Of the Union OF the States IN the
event the election of certain of the three candidates
for the presidencyan idea the more onrous when it is
recoected this obnoxious candidate may be elected with
the support of the large free States OF but twohths
of the votes EACH leaving the remaining threehtth and
their great and Commonwealth to the penalties
of expulsion from the Union and the itself scat
tered Fragments because of the sin The teohs IN erer-
cng constitutional and contested right The
proposition hardly bears grave statement
We aalieise few words in the foregoing by way OF
illustrating the consistency of the support which the edi-
fnlttLtytItCcI
They characterize the practice of ovsated partsans of
threatening or predicting the do0gaA Of the Onton as an
exreme error not to say wetsdss" implying an idea
that is monrous and they assert that "e proportion
hardin bear. grave statement" These editors
protesting support for the presidency candidate who
is obnoxious to all the injurious imputations implied in
their attacks upon "overheated partsans That Is not
all They made up their minds to support that candidate
with knowledge of his extreme error not to say wick
ednes in predicting the downfall OF the Union In the
event of the election Of certain one OF the three cand-
dates" And even this is not all they made no objection
TO his extreme error not to say wickedness when they
declared their purpose support him. Let it be remem-
bered that Mr. Fillmore the favorte candidate OF the ed
iors Of the Itlgenor in his Albany speech, made the
following threat prediction: " THIS SECTIONAL PARTY
1.-THE Fremont party SUCCEEDS LEADS INEVITABLY TO TIE
DESTRUCTION OF BEAUTIFUL FABRIC REARED By oUR
roREFArHKRs And let it be observed that the editors Of
the Lneigenca characterize this prediction OF Mr.
Fillmore as ian extreme error say Weednesthat
it is uOn,rou, idabu yet they profess to support him
for the presidency
Again: Whilst the editors Of the heIigeHcer pro-
Tossing to support for the presidency candidate who is
obnoxious to such grave objections in the estimation OF
the Ingsnc they painfully exercised over the fact
that the Washington Union has fallen into this mis-
cheyous vein Of meuacng the existence Of the Union-a
vein Of menscingD in which their own candidate took
the lead We trust that it Is comfort 70 Me- Fill
more as il is to us that in predicting the downfall Of the
Union as the inevitable consequence Of the triumph Of
purely geographical sectional party are following
In the footsteps Of such statesmen and patriots Wash
ugton Jefferson and Jackson whilst the editors Of the
Eagencer find their consolation in the fact that they
have the sympathy Of those model patriots the Benefits
gsukses and BlAirs Of the back-repubcan party Mr..
Fillmore did not menace the Onion does the Wash
inVton Union nor do those overhested parsans whose
,frs.s errOr not say toksdne,' seems so mon'ons
TO the bacrepubcan leaders and TO the National iaf,
0suc bu, our language Is that Of truthful warning to
the real friends Of the Union. We adopt the wise
sci OF the Father Of his Country confirmed by the obsorva
ton Of the Sage OF Monticello and fully established by the
experience OF the patriot Of the Hermitage and proclaim
10 the overhea,ed parsans7 Of the republican school, and
all their misguided ympathzer hatsectiona orgeograPb
cal parties are dangerous the eonederscy and that the
triumph OF such parties inevitably result either in the
substuton Of despotsm within the forms Of the cens

"a the opinion that between these alternatives the south
ern people would prefer separation and to avoid dis
Asrous shipvreck Of our government have appealed
TO the northern people to look the danger In tho face and

sectonalism and the preservation Of the Union This is
what the hnsHgcne calls "eHreme error, not to say
