M tre Union men we could do neither less nor more
n II, our political experience we have never known
such scandalous conduct as that which has Marked
We should say, dsgaced the progress Of the present
Presidential canvass. The governing motive of GER
tain opposition leaders throughout, seems to have
been founded on the detestable principle that the
end iustifes the means, and that success was honor
able, no matter if its achievement distinguished
by every characteristic known to the annals of in
fanny. Such tactics as these may win for season,
but few repetitons Of success would bring obloquy
and reproach upon our republican form Of govern
would tend to bring doubt upon the capacity
of the people for selEgovernment- mighty prob
lem which has been in process of solution some eighty
wears and which thousands fear has not yet been
finally solved.
For instance let us refer to the modes Of warfare
waged against that pure patriot that great statesman
that embodiment of all that is virtaous, exalted and
ennobling in private and public life-lard Fillmore.
That warfare is precisely anpodal in the Northern
4 and Southern sections of our common Union II the
arguments of the deadly opponents Of Mr. Fillmore
in the North are true then the South should present
an undivided front in his favor If the arguments OF
1.-The opponents &c Mr. Fillmore in the South are true,
then he should be the most acceptable man in the ma
4 ton to the world Of Northern aboltionism.
These propositions are andenably correct. There
4 is not a man in Louisiana who prides himself upon
the possession Of an honorable reputation who will
dispute them But to make the points clearer IN or
der that there may be neither misunderstanding nor
isconstruction Of any sort on the part OF ANYBODY
4 thickheaded or clear-headed, fair minded OF other
wise, we willstate precisely the unrighteous system
through which parsans hope to defeat Mr. Fillmore,
regardless Of the imminent peril such defeat would
bring upon the Union, We will begin with the Abo-
/ litionists and Freesoers Of the North who unqucs
tionably hate Mr. Fillmore with depth, intensity and
ferceness that has parallel in the history OF par
sanship. Throughout the entire North, from the re-
hottest quarter of Maine to the uttermost extremtes
Il Of Iowa and Wisconsin, the Freesoers denounce Mr.
Il Fillmore in unmeasured terms Of bitterness as pro-
slavery man, as staunch supporter of the constr
tional rights Of the South under any and all crcum
stances and as man in whom the North can neither
repose confidence nor respect This is staple the
sum total, if may 50 speak, Of the opposition Of
the Freesoiers to Willard Fillmore.
Now, if tie arguments Of the Fleesoilers we'll
founded, what stronger evidence could southerners
the man thus beset by their deadliest enemies because
of his friendship for them and fealty to the constitu-
tional rights of all the States of the Union If such
proofs do not satisfy them, we fear the testimony OF
an angel from heaven would fail to suffice.
Turn we now to the South. What do we see? Why,
Willard Fillmore assaulted on all sides and in every
possible manner by the Buchanan organs and orators
on the ground that he is opposed to the South is
rank Freesoiler in disguise and consequently, totally
unworthy Southern confidence or Southern support
Well now, if the arguments of the Southern oppo-
nens OF Mr. Fillmore true it is clear he should en-
Joy unbounded popularity among the F1eesoers OF
the North-should be the object around which their
warmest support clustered.
But is there any truth in the arguments advanced
by either side Not Il bit of it. The erpose we have
made proves that the leaders of apparently opposite
factions have united their forces to accomplish one
common obiect-the political destruction of Mr.. Fill
. more. Hence the Freesoil abolition leaders of the
North denounce him as 4 proslavery man, and seek
to array the fanatic hordes with which that section
is cursed against him and hence the Buchanan
presses Of the South declare him to be IN antsavery
man. and strive to array the slavery interest against
him..
i Tf the people of the South can be deluded by such
Transparent charlatanisn1 our confidence i'll their in
telligence and Judgment has been sadly misplaced.
:. But, we are wandering slightly from the point with
which we started-the development point Our
readers will recollect exposure we made Of docu-
ment some weeks since which was gotten up evil
dontly for the meridian Of Connecticut, Vermont Or
Maine, but which, by some misdirection, had found
its way to Northwestern Louisiana under the frank
of an eminent Buchanan Senator. That document
proved concusiyely that Mr.. Buchanan never gave
Southern vote in his life, had been friendly
the South in any respect, and that lie was deserving
! universal Freeso support against the notorious pro
. slavery Fillmore! Very likely this pamphlet induced
thousands of Freesoicrs to vote the Buchanan tickets
IS ntlle recent town elections in Connecticut.
1t seems, however, that the Buchananite chiettain
. are playing all sorts of games After making ont Mr.
Fillmore proslavery North, and antislavery South
&c they have set to work to convince Northeners tina
