Now AND THKN.-The Richmond Enquirer
has recently declared Martin Van Buren, to be
ian angel of light" in comparison with Willard
Fillmore. See what it said in its issue of Sep
TENDER IA, 1852, after the nomination Of Gen.
Scott for the Presidency, when Mr. Fillmore was
out Of the ring:
"Gen Taylor was born in Virginia, he was
reared in the South, was large STAKEHOLDER,
whilst Mr.. Fillmore had been educated in New
York, and was proved to hold doctrines exceed
ingly Objectionable to the South. Buthososneak
the restraints Of education With these men! The
one, listening to the voice Of advisers into whose
souls Seward had breathed the poison of his I'M
holy politics, pursued policy which came near
wrecking this nation upon the shoals of disunion
Whils the other, cleansing the capitol cfits trai
torous denizens, DIsREeARDRD THE WHISPERS OF
EARLY PREJUDICE, AND HELPED By THR MIGHTY
RNaINz OF OF RXEoUTIyE INFLUENCE, 10 QUIET
THE COUNTRY, AND TO SAVE ALL PORTIONS
FROM INJURY AND DrsHoNoR." .-
