The Enquirer thinks that Mr.. Fillmores speeches
in the main Characterised 10y very proper spir
it, but that ms nomination is all Joke, and there
fore he may indulge in honest expression Of his
sentiments Such at least, is the pth Of its idea,
and such is the universal Democratic rule. No
chance Of success is TO be jeopardized by honest
out-spoken sentiment, matter what the exigency
Of the country may be. Mr. Buchanan understood
this well, and hence having been put upon plat
form, he can say nothing inconsistent with it," Well
thank God Willard Fillmore is an American States
man, and not a trimming and tricky politician
What he believes true he dares utter boldly and
when at the State Capitol in Albany. the very seat
Of the abolition Regency he boldly proclaimed that
the South would never submit TO the election Of a
sectional ticket, he expressed patriotism broad
as the Union itself and evinced chiyalrous and un-
selfish courage which not only ELECTED applause and
approval from the gathered thousands around him,
but whist will thrill electric from North to South,
from east 10 west aud win him honest patriot hearts
all over the land
The little paragraph Of that glorious speech which
contains his glowing aud eloquent indignation at IN,
idea OF sectional party will be read and re.read
and compared with the calculating selhshness of Bu
chAnsn, throughout the land, and though the I'm
quirer may consider his nomination Joke now IL
will End the Joke too sad one for it, friends TO laugh
at after November
