Mr.. Fillmore thus officially approved of two
acts of Congress, authorizing the admission OF
Territories into the Union, as States, sOith or
Without sIaUery, as the citizens thereof might
decide; and one Of these Territories lies wholly
and the other one partly north of the Missouri
Compromise line This measure was precise
ly in accordance with the principles embraced
in the 7th section of the American platform,
and its sanction by Mr. Fillmore is a fiat con-
tradiction of the anti-slayeryism imputed to
him
Mr. Fillmore abidss By has antecedents,"
quoth the young man Of the Enquirer, aye,
he does, and his antecedents" on this ques-
ton are un mistakable, for these Utah and
New Mexico bills, which distinctly admit and
allow the right Of the citizens of these Terrific
ries to institute slagery or to reject 10, re-
ceived the sanction of Millard Fillmore in 1860 |
SO says the record. Now, in view Of these
antecedents" of Mr.. Fillmore, by which "hs
abides," of what consequence are all the follow
ing frothy and yaporish denunciations Of Mr..
Fillmore by the young man of the Enquirer?
Hear the young unhedged politician:
"Mr. Fillmore denounced the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise"
Did he, indeeds
"Mr. Fillmore's Northern friends repudiate the
idea that he would consent to the extension of sla
very" 81.
"Mr Fillmore accepted the Known Nothing plat
fhaAst
mits him against the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise and the extension of slavery"
Did he, indeeds
"This letter (of Mr.. Ketchum) is one of the most
significant developments of the canvass~
Is 1T, indeeda Then the whole batch of de-
velopments are IN" significant
at win afford text for further comment in
this paper"
Will it, indeed Then the Enquirer is badly
supplied with texts" ...
Meanwhile, let Democratic speakers file 1t
(Ketchum's letter) among their documents"
Ofcourse, file 1T asoay, gentlemen, and when
of the Utah and New Mexico bills, tell them
that Fillmore is an Abolitionist an incendiary,
slave thief traitor, Federalist any thing,
no matter what, and to prove it, swear that it
was Fillmore and not Buchanan, who threat
ened to open his veins and let out his Demo-
cratic bloodl Swear that it was Fillmore, and
not Buchanan, who consented to the admis-
sion of Texas, in order to drSve Slavery out of
Maryland, Virginia, and Rentuckyi
Soear that it was Fillmore and not Buch-
anan, who advocated the reduction of soages
to the standard of Continental Europe, or
"ten cents" dayl Ssoear that it was Fill
more and not Buchanan who was on the COM
mittee which drafted the Lancaster resolutions
instructing the members of Congress from
Pennsylvania, "to prevent the existence of
slavery in any Of the Territories or new
States which may be "erected by Congress"
tS,oear that it was Fillmore and not Buchanan
whom Gen. jackson pronounced "devoid of
moral courage and unworthy Of confidence I"
Stoear that it was Fillmore and not Buchanan
who made proposition Of deep corruption"
to General jackson, and who attempted to
transfer the paternity of that proposition from
himself to the patriotic Clay
aS,oear that it was Fillmore and not Buchan-
an who told the people of Pennsylvania, in
1914, that "Polk was better tariff man than
Clayl" Saoear that it was Fillmore, and not
Buchanan who "thanked has God that has lot
soas not cast IN a slaoe State !" .Ssoear that
it was Fillmore, and not Buchanan who an
nounced his "squatter sovereignty" doctrines
in his letter of acceptance, thus: "that the
people Of Territory, like those Of State,
shall decide for themselves aohether SLAVERY
shall or shall not erist aoithin their limits ~
S,oear that it was Fillmore, and not Buchanan
who wrote the Sandford letter in 1S48, pro-
nouncing the power of Congress over slavery
in the Territories "souereign aad erclusive I"
SsOear to all these things, ye Democratic
speakers, who file away such documents as
Ketchum's letter, and then if you can bat accom-
plish too things more, with the aid of such
genii as preside over the Richmond Enquirer,
you may convince the South, that Millard Fill
more is an unsafe man to trust t-erpunge the
record Of has administration, from the hists-
ry of has country-and erase the recolleetions
Of that era, from the tablets Of human mem
