States, which are bitterly opposed 10 the
present Administration and 10 the continu-
ance of its measures. These two parties
are uncompromisingly antagonis,ic to each
other. But they are not uncompromising
towards third party. 1t is human nature
| 10 yield ten times more TO third party than
10 the hated antagonist.
The present Administration created It's
bitterest antagonist by IFS own measures:
those measures brought on all the inglorou>
disasters which now threaten our country.
and peace can never be restored till the
guilty instruments are removed, and wise
statesman put in their places.
| Let Kansas illustrate the force Of our ar
gument. The contending factions there re-
ceive the unqualified approval OF their res
pective parties. The one party is deter
mined at all hazards, and urespeci,re OF The
wishes or rights of the iona .fde settlers of
the territory, 10 make Kansas Free State.
The other party is equally determined to
make it Slave State We do no, charge
that this was the original intention Of the
Administration and its advisers; but this po-
siicn has been successfully forced upon the
Locoioco party by their antagonists.
The position Of the two parties with ref
erence TO Kansas is nor unmistakable.
Neither one in case oil success can by any
possibility do justice TO the other. The
only way 10 restore peace TO that distracted
! Territory, without further violence and
Glood>hed, is by eleciing TO the head Of al.
fairs MILLARD Fillmore, the first states
man OF America the man in whom all par
ties have unbounded confidence. Neither
| he nor those advisers whom he would call
abont him, have been forced by official po-
siton or untoward circumstances 10 take
sides as partizans in the Kansas difficulties.
| Mr.. FiLLMoRE is the man TO restore peace
and quiet 10 that unhappy country. He is
he man TO aliay the alimosities of the con-
tending factions. He is the man 10 effect
compromise between the hostile combat
;ans. Yes, compromise, we say. The
whole history Of our government is charac-
te'ized by spirit and practice OF conpro-
mi e. beginning with The Constitution it.
self end continuing 10 the end oI Fillmore's
Administration, II is only by continued
practice of that same spirit that we can
! dwell together in uaity. The two sectional
/ parties Which now distract the country have
entirely ignored that spirit. The dom-
nant party, by its unscrupulous and uncom-
promising measures. is wholly responsible
for the existence of its Inscriptions and
uncompromi>ing antagonist. The present
A administration has beeolen an illegitimate
offspring which has outslripped the parent
in all its odiutis characteristics. And now
ila, the reign OF the parent is drawing 10 al
end, most bitter strife has arisen between
the heir apparent and the dlegHimate cG
spring as 10 the right Of succession. The
motto Of both is might makes right. In this
strife, the advantages of the heir apparent,
which consists in ltneat possession, the sup
port and official patronage OF the pareni.
and the prestige Of the family name, are
more than counierbalunced by the youth,
vigor and activity of ;he ambitious Preirnder.
The contest is SO Unequal that there would
now no longer be any doubt Of the Preien-
der's success, were the strife solely between
him and his legitimate elder brother.
Not the reign of Charles l., nor of James
H., nor Louis PhiIleppe, gave so just
cause for a change in the Royal line, as doe,
that Of Franklin |. He came TO The throne
with the almost unanimous appreciation Of
his fellow citizens, and he ,uW iedre ii lrih
their unanimous appreciation. The iainily
squabbIe between the heir apparent and the
heir non-GPpa'ent, will not avail 10 perpet-
uale the line OF the falling House.
The sovereign people have decreed the
restoration of MILLAnD FrLLMoRE. We
should almost distrust the ability OF intelli-
gent people 10 govern themselves, il we
could for moment doubt that they vii
