: Just about this time a response from the Fremor
North American State Committee" to the first re-
, olution Of Mr.. r. G. Smith, {giyen aboyc,) II
ccived. The Fremont "North Americans " coul
not stand that patriotic resolution, and begged til
Fillmore Committee to reconsider their determine
, ton, and come to such conclusion would allo
} them [the Free-Soers) to act in concert. The
were willing, very willing, to do almost anything, bI
conld mt face the glorious music Of the Union " /
played by the Fillmore and DOneson State ENecutiy
Committee of Pennsylvania. And to make a Ion
story short, the Fillmore Committee, with an unal
unity and patriotism that does them high credit I
fused any and all the propositions submitted by ii
: committees of the Frcesoilcrs. As Union men,
. patriots, lovers Of their whole country they toe
: the honest ground, and declared that they Won
stand Or fall with the Constitution of the conedcrat
i as their text book, and with WILLARD FILLMORE
its truest nobest, irmest and purest exponent.
Having done lhis~having respectfully received, c
tertained and rejected, the propositions of their opp
ncnts-the Fillmore Pennsylvania Committee, III co
I junction with leading Americans from kcntuck
New York and Massachusetts, determined upon iss
, ing the appended address to the people of the Unite
States. 1t is admirable i'll tone and temper. There
nothing in it to which any citizen can take olenc
tervid and lofty patriotism pcryades the entire pi
e 0ucton, which ought to, and will, persuade
ID commend it to the respectful consideration Of eve
