aIessrs Editors The American party ii North
Louisiana and South Arkansas are alive to the great
principles Of the party. The truth is, all national
men, whether Americans or Democrats, should besup
and harnessed for the great battle that or Ia
Ter must decide the rights Of the States and clearly
define Territorial rights With Territorial relationship
Tn to the present time have seen nothing like Mr.
Fillmores speech at Rochester on his way to Buffalo,
that SO completely defines the road and marks the
way we must travel out Of the present Babel q po
litica tongues and confusion. Mr.. Flmorehas fallen
like 4 thunderholt in the Fremont ranks scattering
and destroying the host Of traitors and disunionists
How proud am to own such leader--one VINO
shrinks not nor fears any consequence while stand
ing on the field Of battle, declaring elected he can
not assist in tyrannzing over the South neither Will
be consent to array one part OF the contederacy
against the other. Hear his words at Rochester:
" But / can never consent to be the President OF
portion Of this nation against the other can give
no pledge for the future that is not found III my past
conduct If SyouW Chief Magistrate to admins
ter the constitution and laws mpartaly and in every
part of the Union, giving to every State and every
Territory and every citizen his just due without tear
or favor, then you may cast your votes tor me- re-
peat here what have said elsewhere, that it there be
those at the North who want President to rule me
Soulful there be those at the South who want a
President to rule the North do notwant their votes
/ Il can never represent them; stand on the broad
platform of the Constitution and the laws. TIshould
i be called upon to administer the Government, the
Constitution and laws Of the country shall be eSecu-
1 ted at every hazard and at every cost .s
/ have called the attention Of several leading Dem
ocrats to this part of Mr. Flmores speech they say
it is first rate; they don't want any better. The
truth is it is like apples of gold in pictures of silver
j had thought Ia few weeks since, that Mr.. Buchanan
\ would have to decide the contest now going on be
tween Northern national and sectional agtators
But as Mr. B. refuses to answer any questions, ant
MI. Fillmore not only answers questions, but raise
/ the standard of liberty on the enemys ground, ant
4 is at this time calling the national men around him
believe Greeley, Webb Seward & Co. will let Mr..
Alone and muster their entire strength to meet thei
old enemy, Mr. F., the heretofore consecrated sol
of Free Love, Free Negroes and Abolitionism. HOY
i can Southern men give aid and comfort to our com
mon enemy by refusing a man their suffrage Q
all others the Abotionists most dread Messls Ed
tors, do you think any one henceforh differing witt
us can circulate ISLANDERS against Mr. Fillmore, calling
him Abolitionist Freesoler, and all sort of ba
names, after this speech and more especially after hi
faithful Administration while at the head Of the GOV
ernment?
We see a great many platforms, nowadays, but
like Mr.. Fillmore's broad platform better than any
have seen. The Constitution and the laws AYE
that is the platform all true Americans stand NJ
! on and every true American heart responds to. &
4 Principles, and men Of right principle, are no.
J called for. We have both What, then, shall sta
| our course? Sometimes parties have to compromis
measures and still hold on to their peculiar principle
This could only take place where an enemy to bot
sought the destruction Of either Or both. Now,
sefpreservation is natures first law, would rattle
$ see James Buchanan President than Mr.. Fremont
1 but hope neither will be ableto keep Mr.. Fillmol
out of the old seat he 50 much honored. IT, howeye
, the election should be thrown into the House, hol
e the strongest national man may be elected by h
party without fusion, if possible, but with fusit
!, of Americans and Democrats rather than see Il
Black Flag waving over the capital consecrated
$ the name Of Washington. W. C. CARR.
