OLD LINE Wines OF MIssouRI.-E'fhe st.
Louis Republican Of the 18th contains let
ter from Lexington, Mo-, signed by eighty
FIVE old-line Wings, who assign as a reason
for voting for Mr.. Fillmore.
That casting aside the things now called
platforms, as unmeaning and unntelligible
we look 10 the actions Of men as the sure
exponent of their principles, and that in the
past history of MiIard Fillmore we find the
true index for his future; that having stood
firm as II rock when there was strong tempt
alton to fall, he will again, If selected to fill
the Executive chair TO preside over the des-
tiny Of the American people, prove an i'm
pregnable barrier against which the wild
fierce waves of faction and ianaticism may
beat in vain; for we firmly believe il TO any
one man, in any degiee, belongs the power
to saw spence, be STILL" and be obeyed, that
man is Milard Fillmore.
In view, then, of the foregoing consider.
ations, and thousand Others which present
themselves to our minds, We will untur the
Old Line banner Of Missouri and under its
folds (though often defeated, never dishon-
ored,) rally around Milard Fillmore, the un-
swerving friend of his country, the cherished
friend OF Henry Clay"

DEMOCRACY ILLUsTRATD.-"A few years
ago the entire Democratic press and party
of the South were nuding AIilard Fillmore
as lofty patriot, and as having made con-
servative, national President. At the same
time they were denouncing Martin Van Bu-
rem MS traitor and Abotionist Now, how.
ever, to subserve party purpose, they have
turned right around and tell us that Fill.
more is rs big n traitor and abolitionist as ev-
er was Martin Van Buren!-that in fact, Van
Buren, has better record than Fillmore!-
and, to cap the climax. some of them go so
Gar MS to claim that Van Buren, is the patriot
now and Fillmore the traitor! Was ever
such mendacity heard of before? Can old
line Wings and conservative Democrats,
stand by and quietly look on when such in
famous injustice is perpetrated in the face Of
high heaven.

,E- Mr.. Francis Granger, in his speech a!
the Fillmore Meeting, in Albany, last Thurs.
day, said, that "if the friends of Fillmore, in
the other portions of the country, are up and
doing as good battle in the cause, as they are
in the State of New York, he would be elect
ed by large minority" The continued
pertiuacious cry that Mr.. Fillmore cannot be
elected is for political effect. To disspirit his
friends, to carry off the wavering and to in
fluence the lukewarm to desertion, is great
point gained in the political game. To be
successful is to win.

MR.. FILLMORE AND THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAW.

II has been said, remarks the Richmond
Wing, that Mr.. Fillmore reluctantly affixed
his signature to the Fugitive Slave Law, and
that so violently opposed was he to il that he
would never have executed it. To show how
ridiculous all these charges are, We have only
to call Democrats themselves to the stand,
and make them testify to the truth as it is.
On the Bird November, 1850, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer,
now MIR. Filmore's virulent enemy, but then
his extravagant eulogist, wrote as follows to
that paper:
"a distinguished gentleman from the West
AN ex.Senato!-called or Mr.. Fillmore,
and, after exchanging the usual courtesies,
was asked by the President how the fugitive
slave bill was received in the West. The
reply was, that the law, although unpopular
in his State, would doubtless, be enforced
The remark was playfuily made that, as the
President was sworn To- preserve, protect and
defend the constitution and laws he (the ex-
Senator) presumed Dir. Fillmore would exc
cute this la,o. TO he rery letter, Sir was
the instant reply of the President, to The pery
letter, Sir, ,ohaterer nay be The consequences.
This ,eply was WORTHY the palmiest days Of
Old Hickory himself"
The Washington Union, then edited by
Andrew Jackson Donelson, copying this a
few days after, added The following
ut gives us pleasure TO state another anec.
dote about the President, for which wa vouch,
as we had it from two gentlemen of the West,
with whom the President had just been in
conversation yesterday morning. They were
applying to him for the appointment of a
gentleman as Attorney for the United States
in one of the Western States After discus.
sing the qualifications of the candidate, Mr..
Fillmore remarked that there ,ods another
qualification phich he considered indispensable.
lie said he pas determined 10 erecute faithfully
The fugitive SLAVE iaw, and ,oouid appoint no
man to efice ,oho mightbe called upon 10 assist
in the administration Of that lato, who ,oould
not zeaLously cooperate in lis erecution.
"On another occasion we understand, from
good authority, that the President declared
That The law should be executed at erery hazard
even at the risk Of 6lood.'
"rhis is the spirit alone in which the Union
can be preserved"
The National Era, the Abolition organ at
Washington, referring to these incidents
said:
at seems, the infamous Fugitive law is q
cherished measure Of he Presenr administrations
A man's fitness tor office is to be judged by
his opinions of that law. In its superabun.
dant zeal to secure the arrest Of runaways
under n law which furnishes temptations, and
secures immunity to kidnappers, the admins
MARATHON is determined to carry it ort euen a
the risk of Jlood."

TALKING SEssE.-Thc New Orleans Bul.
letin, hitherto an old line Wing and bitter
Ant.Know Nothing paper, sees how the po-
litical tide is turning, and has the honesty and
candor to confess IL;
"lf the Fillmore furor that now seems TO
be seiz,ng all parts OF the country, should get
fairly hold of the Grorgians, there is no tel
ling what might oe the result, notwithstand-
ing the friends of Mr.. Buchanan have set
down that State as certain for him. Georgia
in its political action is an uncertain State,
and il would not surprise us in the least,
from the indications of passing events, il
Fillmore should sweep the State like u hur.
ricane."

o. Among the new things of the age is
the manufacture of shoes by cementIng to.
gether the pieces of leather Of which they are
composed. A shoe is thus made without q
peg or stitch, which it is said will never rip
and cannot be torn apart in the seems, be.
cause the leather will tear first. A large
company has been started for this manufac.
ture at Ballard Ware, their process being to
cement the shoes on the common wooden
last, and then dry them in ovens. But we
understand an improved process has been
invented, by which pair of shoes can be
completed in five minutes. The pieces are
cemented on hollow metallic last, into which
steam is introduced by turnnga cock, and
its heat sets the cement almost instantane-
Vusly.

A CASE OF MuRpER.-rhe Detroit Free
Press states that Mr.. Jewett, Of Chelsea
Michigan, died a few days since, Of intense
mental excitement, produced by reading in
the newspapers the details of crueltes infict.
ed upon, and the death of his brother at the
hands of "Border Ruffians" in Missouri. The
postmaster at Chelsea attended the funeral
and took with him letter just received at his
Office for the deceased, and postmarked in
Kansas. lie was not able TO present ii to the
family until at the grave, when on opening it,
it was ascertained to be from the supposed
