Republicans of all the States very few days
will now decide the Presidential contest. VIII you
not give those days so far as is possible, to your
country
The purchased tools of the Slavery ExtensiOnsts
who have sold out the party they protested to sup
port, now raise great shout over the results they
have engineered in Pennsylvania and Indiana, de-
carng that they have secured the defeat of Ere
mont and that you should nor cote for Fillmore ~
order to d.teat Buchanan 1t was to this end that
their treachery was bought and secured.
But why should Republican vote for Fillmore
rather than Buchanan Was Fillmore once opposed

more approve and uphold the Missouri Compromise
so did Buchanan. Does Buchanan nov acquiesce
in the gigantic wrong by which that compact was
repudiated! SO does Fillmore. And the position
of Buchanan on this point is less agrantly incon.
sistent than that of Fillmore for the former now
condemns the Restriction of Slavery as wrong
while the latter pronounccs its reputation an act
of folly" and yet insists that Slavery shall retain
all the advantage it secured by that crime. Iii be

the theft but add that seeing he has got the horse

He who votes for Buchanan or Fillmore votes
that the Missouri Restriction shall not be restored
and that no legal barrier against the nOrthward and

Republicans you know that the position and

from this. They too, stand by the Union; but
they hold that the Union can best be preserved-f
