FILLMORE SENTIMENTS IN ILLINOIS
Wherever there are genuine FILLMORE
men, (says the New Orleans Bulletin We
find the expression of sound, manly, con
servatlve sentiments-sentimen which
might be adopted everywhere in any State
in the Union. The following resolutions
adopted at a Fillmore meeting lately In IL
linois, justify what we have said They
are the following:
Resolved, That in the present position
of the Democratic party and the so-called
Republican party and their candidates, we
see nothing that promises termination OF
sectional animosities and agitation moth
ing to restore peace and harmony to the
country, but find that these parties, in op-
posing each other, hold positions of ex-
treme partizan and sectional bias, and the
success of either of them may destroy the
Union, and viii inevitably prolong the
present unhappy condition of affairs, and
give room for renewed attacks upon the
integrity and permanency of the Consti-
tuition of our country.
Resolccd, That we deprecate the fanat-
icism and sectional feeling now raging
throughout our land and that the times
loudly call for Chief Executive, who,
standing above sectional influence, and
impersonating the great conservative ele-
ment of the country, has the courage, pa
triotism and wisdom to administer the
government for the good of the whole
country.
ResoIred, That we have the utmost
confidence in Millard Fillmore as a patri-
OF and statesman-that his past wise and
noble administration of the government,
gives an earnest, held forth by the politi-
cal life of no other man, of the judicious,
conservative and manly administration of
Government, should he be again elected
to the Chief Magistracy, and that in the
approaching election we will give him our
cordial support
Col BENTON recently delivered speech
at ST. Louis on the politics of the day, in
which he, doubtless unintentionally, paid
the following high compliment to the Ad-
ministration of MILLARD FILLMORE:
1.-The commencement of the session of
Congress '54-was political mil
lenium- Universal harmony prevailed
A brotherly feeling pervaded the whole
House. National good will, and desire
to do well the public business, was the
temper of all. 1t seemed that nothing
could ruffle or mar the universal good feel
ing which prevailed. They delivered their
customary harangues upon the evils of
slavery; their harangues fell dead upon
the floor, and were not repeated. They
died out under the cold and silent indif-
ference of the House. Abolition agita-
ton was dead extinct under public opin-
ion and the laws of the land, which had
settled it everywhere, and left not an inch
of territory on which the question of sla-
very could be raised.'
WHIGs OF BosToN AND Mr.. FILL
MORE.-The Boston Advertiser, of late
date, says:
"We learn that paper was in circula-
tion yesterday for signatures among the
Wings of this city, and that the names of
Messrs Edward Everett, Robert c. Win
throp, William Appleton, Gerge s. Hill
lard and Luther V. Bell were appended,
with Others The signers state that, be-
fore expressing an opinion on the Presi-
dentij question, they had designed to
await the action Of the Whig State Con-
vention, to be held on the Sd of Sept;
but finding that their silence in that re-
spect has been misinterpreted, they take
this occasion to say that they entertain
decided preference for MIR. Fillmore over
either of the other candidates. These are
not the exact words of the paper, (Which
we have not SEEM but they express, we
believe, its substance
WHAT A QUAKING AMONG THE Dry
Bones The Memphis Eagle d Enqui-
rer, of the Sd inst, contains the following
paragraph:
'.The Americans of Alabama have just
discovered Democratic secret circular,
issued from the Montgomery Advertiser
Office, warning the Democracy that if they
do not bestir themselves vigorously and
instanter, Alabama will be carried for Fill
more. 1t calls Justify for help, and says
that the State is in danger of being lost to
buchanan Thus it admits confidentially
and secretly to its own party what it de-
nies to the world"
Gov. Pollock, of Pennsylvania, one of
the most eloquent and popular orators in
the State. has come out for Fillmore, and
will soon mount the stump for the Amer
lean ticket. Gov. Pollock was elected
Governor of Pennsylvania, in 1854, by
upwards of thirty thousand majority
The National Americans of Iowa re-
Gently assembled in Convention and form
ed FILLMORE electoral ticket. Much
harmony prevailed.
The Nashville Gazette charges that
Gov. Aaron Pisgah Brown prophesied in
Il 1852, that the nomination of Buchanan
would break up the party. The prophesy
