SAYS Mr.. Fillmore now 2
:. am opposed to the reckless and unwise policy
of the present administration in the general nsti-

opening sectional agitation by the repeal OF me
\ souri, Compromise
Ifopposed to The rczopeping Of the sectional az.
itation by the rep al of the Missouri Compromise
what more natural tina that if President, he should
fishing that Compromise.
Til runs the argument: Fillmore is the Oppo-
nent of sectional agitation. Mr.. FILLMORE believes
that the existing sectional agitation has been caused
| by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Is not
then the conclusion inevitable that will, ifeIected
President. endenvUr quiet sectional agitation, by
| removing what he deems lis cause?
This is the remedy advocated by the great
| body of those who attribute the existing sectional
agitation to the repeal of Missouri Compromise
They say repeal the Nebraska bill, restore tina;
Comp omi and all will be quiet-on the other
hand, the South and the Northern Democracy euy
that the agitation its origin any such cause,
deny the efficacy OF any such remedy.
The representative OF Mr.. Fillmore district in Con-
greSs is his late law partner, b0SOn friend and warm
advocate, Solomon G. Haven. AS ar as one
can be OF another, Mr.. Haven is Mr. FiIlmore's
! spokesman. The Congressional exponent Of his
| principles Our readers, hnd the Republican with
them, will agree with us in thinking it probable
that on great political question now prominently
before the public, Mr.. Fillmore aud Mr.. Haven are
arrayed against each other. The position, then,
| Mr.. haven the question issue il it gould lie

receive l49 northern electoral votes. In that event
the OuAwry of the southern States proclaimed by the
convention at Philadelphia will have been confirmed
by the northern people, and political geographical
dTsion viii have been accomplished. The rest
would speedily follow. But, thanks to the steady
character of the people OF this good Id State, they
destined, as firmly believe, to ward of the dan

attempt has yet been made TO form black-rePuil-

say, will prove vain. But whether they unite

Along frontier counties of the State, bordering
Maryland and Virginia, which would probably
be the border counties in case of uisuuon, very
great changes have taken place in our favor.''
