are both sectional in their aims and appeals
and that the only truly conservative and ma

Willard Fillmore, whom, though they do no
coincide with the principles of the part,
whose especial candidate he is, they will sup
port for the Presidency. They also endorse
Mr. Donelson, and predict general uprisin,

Some OF the persons engaged in thi
movement may be sufficiently deluded to be
