in like manner was ccnsured for preserving our neu

The Record Of Fillmore.

An able writer in the Richmond Enquirer thus
sums up the record of Mr. FILLMORE, on the great
question OF Slavery as founded upon facts indspu-
table and beyond all doubt
MEssRs. EDlroRs:-We think We have proven, by
the record that by every official act of Mr. Fillmore
up to 1913, he was in favor:
First.-Of excluding the South from all share in
the Territories belonging to the Union:
Second.-That he against admitting any State
into the Union, with constitution tocratng es-
tablishing slavery.
Third.-That he was in favor of the unconditional
and Immediate abolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia, without the consent of and without
compensation to the owners of such property therein
Fourth-That he was in favor of the suppression
by Congress of the transfer of slaves from south
ern State to another.
Fifth.-That he was opposed to the execution of
any law passed in pursuance to that clause of the
Constitution with reference to fugitive slaves or of
any legislation which would make it directly obga-
tory upon the States Or the people.
Sxth-That he was in favor of the reception of pc-
ttions, in every shape in which they were presented,
on the subject of slavery and that in regard to them
and all other phases of abolitionlsm, he as radl-
cal and bitter as either Gdding5 or Slade.
Seyenth.-He was in favor of the principle that
the federal governmet could do indirectly what IT could
not do directly by the Constitution, upon the subject
OF slavery.
Eighth-He was in favor of suppressing, under
the alleged power to regulate commerce. the coast
wise traffic in slaves in vessels of the United States
Nnth,-He was in favor of the recognition and
establishing ministerial relations with the black re-
public of Hay and against the recognition of Tex
as as State, except upon the condition that slavery
should be abolished therein.
Tenth-He was for discriminating by direct legis-
atlon, in favor Of the property of section of the
Union, and against the property of another section
of the same Union, which Processes to secure to all
its parts equal participation in and equal benefits
among the States and the people by whom it is com
posed
record thus fearfully consistent, whether spring
Ing from conviction or preudce-thus dreafully por
cntous, whether resulting from his situation asso
Citations, certainly ought not to be waved away
shadow with the hand
II any admirer Of Mr.. Fillmore thinks he is abl'
to controvcrt or diprove any of the foregoing posi-
tions OF his champion, let him commence the task
The record is Intensely black and if even one coun
in the indictment can be cleared away, it will be {
relief, and If Mr.. Fillmore has renowned any Of
these positions or his former political errors on this
vital question-more important now than eyer-it il
easy for him to do so. The fact Of the record, how
ever, cannot be questioned

"The publishers of the "Clinton American Patriot,
in their last number say:
"D. G. Morgan Esq, fills the Editorial chair this
week. Our readers will lose nothing by the ex-
change"
"Herc's another problem to solve. II the readers
OF the Patriot 'loosc nothing what do they gam!

solution. 1t is the torty-second of "Eubanks' hy-
draulics,"

The Two Horns OF A Observation-Disclosures posi-
ton Fillmore may assume on the dark ques-
ton, he is bound to be guided by one or the other
horn of a dilemma For instance listen to the
Washington Organ:
ave trust that no American will in any form give
counenance to the idea that Mr.. Fillmore is now
anything else than an American in his political rela-
tons.
If we supposed for moment that Mr. Fillmore II
elected, would resusctae the old Wing party, and
abandon the platform and principles of the Amer-
can party, we should respectfully decline to render
him even our feeble aid to reach the position which
he has once adorned. Far from it,
! On the other hand the New York Mirror which
supports Fillmore, speaks out as follows:
ave must frankly say that if Mr.. Fillmore has
stopped to the imposition of the degrees" and
"pledgeso Of any secret, oathbound league that will
shackle his liberty to appoint or to remove from Of
flee any man who may be emnently worthy or un
worthy to discharge the duties of his position
mol and we wW not work, write or vote for his cleo
tion."

I.is" Who does not concur in the noble sentiments
expressed by Henry CLAY in the Senate, on the 18th

Wherever it is safe and practicable, desire to see
