has just come out in long letter going for Fremont,
aid the sane that recently presided over the New
Jersey Fremont State Convention. Mr.. Marsh is one
of the great guns among the " National Americans
of the North that you read about.
Strangely enough. Mr.. Marsh and the South
Americans acquesced in the action of the Phlladel-
phia Convention, for precisely the same class OF 'eas
ons. Mr.. Marsh did not like the platform, but, says
be, coufding in the principles of Mt Fillmore, who
in the Legislature of New York and ia Congress, had
ever acted with the friends of freedom, acqulesced
in an exceptionable platform" That is just what
he Southern friends of Fillmore tells US. When,
asked about the destruction of the 18th section, and
every other national feature of the platform OF 1855,
they tell us that they don't mind that. they have
confidence in Fillmore. great thing is that conf
dence, and great confidence mus, Mr.. Fillmore
be, when Mr. Marsh has confidence in him an
abo,ionist and the Southern presses of his party
press confidence in him as the opposite.
Mr.. Marsh is not pleased with Fillmore for not
coming out broad anti Slavery in his letter OF accep-
ance but his chief dspleasure is because he did not
carry Kentucky and North Carolna-he is sore over
North Carolina especially, for we presume he had
been fooled by some of the big Dragging so lavishiy
ndu ged in before the election. This dong nothing
at the South is the worst offence Mr.. Fillmore has
committed Mr.. Marsh and MIR. Fillmore's other
Northern supporters confded in him on the abolition
question: and since the Southern delegates wanted
him. they let them have him hoping that he could
carry over some of the Southern States into the
Northern anti-Slavery ranks before they could find
out their mistake but the Southern States refused TO
be fooled and the few Northern delegates who stad
in the Philadelphia Convention, finding nothing to
be made by cajolery, boldly threw off the mask, and
go with the balance of the "North Americans" for
Fremont free Niggers and Free Soil
When the head and front of the Fillmore army at
the North-the President of the National Convention
that placed him in nomination thus strikes his colors
and for the reasons assigned, surely the people OF
the South, even the members of the order or party
can have little difficulty in assigning to the North
ern brethren their true position. They cannot but
see that the few Northern delegates that refused to
secede were as hollow and unreliable as those that
openly came out, and that between the branch of
the order North that nominated and supports
Fremont, and the fragment that adhered to Fillmore,
the difference was only in temporary policy and not
at all in principle. The letter can be found in the n.
York Herald of Thursday last, copied from the New
ark Advertiser.
