"a Little More Grape, Capt. Bragg"

Give US your hand, Pryor. Your gun
of this morning was well shotted, and it is
good for thousand votes in West Ten
nessee. Twas terrible broadside, and
the Malakoff and Redan went down before
III Keep that flag flying from your mast
head. Many an honest Democrat will see
i; who has been reading the appeal, and
nothing but the appeal, for years, and
who sincerely believes that Fillmore Is
just what the 1ppeat and the Washing
ton and Nashville Union, with their "Old
Line Whig' allies, charge him to bean
abolitionist.
Let such men read what theAppeaI said
of Fillmore in 1852, after he had been
tried, and they i'll think twice before
voting against him Permit me to group
these choice extract together, so that
they can be readily seen and read, and
publish them till the election. Twill
tell.
In 1852, Mr.. Fillmore had been tried.
The country had judged him. The
South had found him true to that law in
which her dearest interests were at stake.
The Memphis Appeal, after this trial, thus
pronounced judgment upon him.
July 10, 1S52--The Appeolcondemned
Scott for ''aiminga stab at the policy of Fill
more in dismissing from office the adhe-
rents of Seward and the higher law"
July 80, 1S52.-The Appeal calls GILL
more and Webster conservative Whigs,"
who could not be convicted f'of coinci-
ding in sentiment with w. II. Seward, in
all his monstrous doctrines"
July 81, 1S52.-The Appeal said
that ''for his faithful adherence to the
Compromiseacts of 1850, has Mr. Fillmore
incurred the displeasure of the Abolition
lists"
On the same day, the Appeal reproved
aye, reproved Southern men, thus: "B ut
Fillmore and Webster fell by the hands of
their own friends-by the recreancy of
Southern men"
On the same day, the Appeal said that
the Scott men had used the 'sfoul weap-
ons' of ''abolition instrumentality," in
''destroying Fillmore and Webster" and
condemned Southern men for proving
''recreant" to them.
Oct.13, 1S52.-The 4ppealsaid, 'sScott
was nominated and Fillmore and Webster
thrown overheard, for the sole reason that
they firmly maintained the Compromise,
the fugitive slave law included, and pro-
scribed all the abolitionist office holders
who refused to abide by the fugitive slave
law"
This is the judgment of the Memphis
appeal after Mr.. Fillmore had been tried
Ittben thought Southern men ''recreant'
to their high trusts in not selecting him as
their candidate; for Fillmore was then a
''marvellous proper man" on the slavery
question. The Appeal then applauded
him as conservative Whig," Sustaining
the Compromise and ''discharging abo-
litonists from office"
NJ ao what does it say and do? 1t fills
its columns with ''proof from the record"
what? Can it be for any other object under
heaven than toproduce the impression that
Mr.. Fillmore is an abolitionist?" Can
there be any other reason? All this proof
was in existence before. The Appeal
knew it in 1852.
Mr.. Fillmore has been tried since "these
records" were made up; and the appeal
has pronounced verdict of ''well done"
upon that part of hiS administration most
interesting to the South
1t is important, then, that the Appeal
should be quoted against the Appeal, and
against those ''brilliant,' ''scathing," ter
rible old-line Wing orators, who now
charge that .'Fillmore's record is blacker
than negro's skin"
Fillmore's National, Union Record, has
been endorsed by the appeal, and it is
his latest record upon the great question of
slavery.
