The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1856-10-25
TIE POINT CONCEDED.

The Mobile Register SayS:-'Thc mails Of
Friday placed us in possession Of an article
from the Boston Conricr, which admits that
Mr. Fillmorc'S views in reference TO the Mis-
souri, Compromise, accord precisely with those
of Mr.. T. Banks, ~ developed in the Int
tcr's great rpcrch in Wall street The Boston
Courier is the most influential and respectable
Wing journal in the Union, and its editorials
are good authority for Wing opinion every
where 1t supports Mr. Fillmore for the
Presidency, is one of his ablest organs, and is
understood to speak by authority. In its com
mcnts on the speech to which we have alluded
it says:
"Among the multitude Of speeches published
recently, We presume that no one can be relied
on as more Republican than that Of Mr. Bank,
III New York 10 that rs much rs to any,
we may look for an exposition Of the views o
the party, and We shall find few which equal
it for sound aud liberal views Among other
things he Says
"Bnt it (the Missouri Compromise was re-
pcacd, and the act has inflicted upon the
country all the wrong, the infamous wrong,
which We have seen and the end of which is
not yet upon MS, aud Of which we cannot pre-
diet the result For this we have n remedy |
speak for that portion Of the Northern people
in another part Of the conicdcracy with whom
| am associated, and not for you The qrlcs
ton is not that We shall lcgislatc against the
South upon the question Of slavery, 1t is not
that we shall lrgislatr upon the question of the
fugitive slave law We don't raise tine question
whether, in the future extension Of our terrific
ry, slavery shall be prohibited or no, We
abandon MI these questions. and We stand up
on this distinct, SIMPLE positoa-that thai
which gave peace to the country in 1920, AM
4 that which secured the peace Of the country il
1889, ought to be made good by the Govern
mcnt Of the United States, with the consent o.
the American people, (Grcat apparsc)
To orr mind Nr. Banks has stated the case
fairly, and every one can draw his own conclu
sions Il, to the remedy We ask every maj
, whether, under the circumstances, he will sc
lect statesman, one who has been tried anf
never found wanting, an American OF New
England stock, Protestant through man,
gcnerations-or one who makes no prelensou
to craftsmanship, Of foreign parcntage ant
doubtful religion, Or none ut all, but who i
celebrated for scientific attainment, for physica
endurance and for being able to "cat dog
II we decide for the former there is but ont
man living, who, with all the other requisite
qualifications, has that Of having been tried
The people of this country know that the SAT-
course is to try him again; and we may wei
doubt their intelligence if they allow partisan
or sectional leaders to persuade them other
wise.
Now, then, are we not justified in sayinF
that Mr.. Fillmore would, if elected President
approve IN act restoring the Missouri Compro
+, mise? Mr. Banks, as the exponent Of Bacl
Repnblicanism, says that the restoration of TIN
| Missouri Compromise will satisfy his friends
(, "Well,' says the Boston Courier, the organ @
| Mr. Fillmore, 'if that's all you want, take Mr.
Fillmore, he goes with you in that matter, AM
, is statesman besides"
