1t is crime, too, to make this elec

Mi.lard Fillmore alone removes the can

Fremon,'s strength is all North Buch>
mans practical strength is all SOUTH
Fillmore alone embo,|ies the conscrvat
SIN Of the Union. Fillmore alone has

North with Buchanan, Or over the Souti,
With Fremont.

efore the public, we rapidly dispel the

The most alarming element OF this
