pended to the Fugitive slave) law, as
having constitutionally sanctioned and
approved it, and who has sought hon
cstly and faithfully to execute it,"

ways conservative and national in their
aims and purposes, they have taken
just the course marked out by pru-

action they do honor to the memory
and maxims of Clay, Webster, and the
host of worthless in whose lead they so
long and valiantly rallied. Locofoco
chicanery and adulation had no force

We shall, with pleasure, publish the

Has taken the stump in this State
for Fillmore and Donelson. He made
an eloquent and stirring speech at
Charlottesville, and also spoke with
great zeal and warmth in the Wing
State Convention at Richmond last
week in support of the "man Of the
Union" In every sentence of his
speeches the patriot, statesman and or
ator shine out in full splendor. He
shows the evils which afllict our coun-
try, and their origin and then points
with unerring truth to tho way by
which alone those evils can be averted,
and the tranquility of the country res
tored, and this remedy is the elevation
of Fillmore and Donelson to the Pres
idency and Vice Presidency of the u
nitcd States.

Six Eclipses in one Year.

According to the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, there are to be six eclpses
this year--two Of the sun, two of the
moon, one Of the Democrats, and one
of the Black Republicans. The last
two will be total. In fact, neither body
will ever make its appearance again.
The eclipse Of the Democrats will be
visible in every part of the U. States,
and can be viewed with the naked eye.
The eclipse of the Black Republicans
will only be visible in the Northern
States, and can be seen without the aid
of smoked glass. t. s..". .
These eclipses will commence in the
morning of tho 4th of November next,
and will continue during the greater
portion of the day, reaching the point
of obscurity about sunset, at which time
Americanism will shine out in its full
glory. " ..
