WORDS OF SOBERNEss AND WIsDOM-MR
FILLMoRE's SPEECH AT ALBANY.-We repub-
lsh in our editorial columns the following ex-
tract from the late speech of Mr. Fillmore, at
Albany, n. Y. 1t contains words of soberness
and wisdom, that address themselves to the
reason of every intelligent man. The success
of the Black Republican party would be fol-
lowed, as certain IS that day follows night,
by disunion and civil war. Mr. Fillmore SAYS
Here follows an extract from the speech
The Gaze is stated correctly by the Wing
Ex-Presdent, and the fact must sink deep in
to the minds of our countrymen. The at
tempt of party existing in the free States
alOne-whiCh, out OF a million of votes in the
slave States, does not number five thousand
to govern the whole United States upon Sec
tiOnal issue, can never succeed. Our Southern
brethren cannot be shut out of a participation
in the affairs of the General Government with
out the const quences taking place to which
MIR. Fillmore alIudes; yet, potent as this truth
is, We find citizens of Cincinnati even-which
would be utterly ruined by dissolution q
The Union-favoring the ticket whose success
would be certain to produce it, and running
reckIessly into the pit which rascally dema-
gogues have prepared for them.

Can good come ont of Nazareth ?

We have been astOnished to find the fol-
lowing comments in the Washington Union
[tri-weekly] of the I'd July, on portion
Mr. Fillmore'S Albany speech:
Mr.. Fillmore has exposed the disunion char
acter Of the black republican nomination with
great clearness and boldness. His argument
is nanswerable. The Philadelphia cOnven-
ton took the first step in the work of dsun-
ion. 1t ignored an entire section of the con-
federacy, and declared by its action that to be
a citizen of a southern St ate is a Disqualified
ton for President or Vice President. This is
nothing more nor less than undisguised dis
union, and we rejoice that Mr.. Fillmore has
raised his voice against so dangerous an expert
ment upon the strength of our confederation.
To this portion OF his speech we invite the
earnest attention of every lover of his country.

James Buchanan and Henry Clay.

We publish on the first page of this paper a
long article from the louisville Journal Civ
ing detailed account of the part played by the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency in the
famous, or rather infamous ''bargain and corrup-
ton" plot against the illustrious Clay. Read it,
We Old-Line Wings, who are now invited to for
get all past differences and aid in the election OF
James Buchanan to the highest office in the gift
of the people We in whose heart of hearts the
name of the great statesman and patriot is EN-
bamed, ''linked with thousand virtues" and
the very synonym of all that was great and
glorious and good read it, we ask you ,carefully,
impartially, and then determine whether James
Buchanan is the man that ought to expect Wing
votes.
Conceived in sin and brought forth in iniqui-
tv," that foul scheme to blast the reputation and
political prospects of Henry Clay,was kept alive
by unprincipled demrgogues to the day OF his
death, and was urged against him in every poll
teal contest in which he was engaged with a
virulence and reckless disregard of truth and
Justice disgraeefull to humanity-with maEg-
nant zeal and energy that would be entitled to
awful pre-cminenee in darker world than this.
What Wing can ever forget it? What Wing
can ever forgive it
