 The questions here propsunded by Mr Kill more's black republican Know Nothino organ address themselves pointedly to the South Ameticans, who vaunt so loudly of their nation al!sm, and yet profess to be entirely satisfied Wltn MT. FllImore's position. The fact is that eno nomination of Mr. Fillmore was what his osa' lh lhoiana calls a swndle" It was in- IoS: aoou ~ make his popularity as a national. 1onsei t"'Fe Wing, available at the south in ooisterlhS up the desperate fortunes of Know Nottingham, whilst it was no oliection to bi,, that hls position on the Nebraska issne wac in. volved Ill doubt and uncertainty. The follow. ing remarks by the Huntsville Advocate-a leading antl-hnow Nothing whiq journal of the south-lndicatc distinctly the course of inc truly national whlgs in the pending contest: We cannot support Mir. Fillmore at this 'lnle, because, by doing so, We would, in our oPInoh' De aiding indirectly, but materially, the eiacN republicans. The order which brings him lol "iu' Ill Valn but desperate hope to gain pow CT, Is m Fragments. As nottoqgl order it is a humbug' In the north, free.soilsr g;vas if what strength 1t has. In the south. it gives abolition aid and comfort by dividing tbe. south. 1t Is not ill the race for the presidency. me struggle Is between the national democracy ana the black republicans The battle at the north has to be fought between these two par tieS' The democracy is organized aqoi,est abo- lItloh as we'll as Know Nottingham. The sla- very question Is the great and true issue in this contest As southern man we cannot join in any effort to divide the south We go with that party, and the only party Mere which fights aooIltlonlsm, and at the same time defends the e44ahty ot ALL citizens. Know Nottingham cannot master abolition; and 1t impeaches the patriotism ot large class of our citizens and thus caa neverb be nati0I1ot-the defender of the political privileges of all citizens.
 To divide the south is to aid the black re- publlcans To aid them is to aid in what will
 
 throw the election of President into the House To do that Is to lead to result similar to the SpeakerS's elcctlon-to place in the Presiden- tlal chair another Banks. What Know Moth ingsm effected in the one case by voting for Fuller, it may and can do in the other case by supporting third candidate.
 . In thus acting, anti Know Nothing whigs feel and know they are doing their duty to their country. They have no assaults to make on Mr. Fillmore. They would, if possible res- cue his past fame from the injury demagogues 'on wild hunt after office are inficting upon it. If he yields to the tempters and accepts the nomination, the principles he will then im- body will cause him to be opposed. The good he has done will insure him respect and courtesy at their hands. They may love Ca,- sar, but they yet love Rome more Princi- pies, first then men. But good men cannot make bad principles right. The leopard can not change his spots orthe Ethiopian his ebony hue Know Nottingham remains Know No thlnslsm It is still like the unconverted Saul breathing out threatenings and slaughter go- Ing up to Damascus to prosecute the disciples of the true and living faith"
