Frs- The Herald does not seem to like the statement
in The J.unal that MIR. Fillmore belongs to the orcel
or partv whose advancing wave swept so recently
over the North, and in Frustrating the Democracy
bore into Congress the present revolutionary majority
from that section yet such is the fact Let Whatever
inference be drawn from it, it is so. The men VINO
met in Convention in New York and ratified or Joined
in the nomination of Fremont, had assumed the very
same obligations which Mr.. Fillmore assumed-taken
the degrees and all that sort of thing, which Inc re-
doubtabIe Scrogg5 cerfes that Mlllard Fillmore TOOK
in the city Of Buffalo. We have simply stated these
facts, already known TO the world, and the recent ar
tcles in the Southern papers of the ORDER mparI 10
them peculiar significance by warning the South
against the support of Mr. Buchanan, who IS held up
as a sectional Candidate-a Southern sectional can
didate upon whom if the South concentrates, the
North including Mr. Fillmore's friends, will 60 over
to Fremont. We are gravely assured that it, on &C
count of the lack Of support Or sympathy at the
South, Mr. Fillmore should withdraw or be with
drawn, the body of his supporters would 60 over to
Fremont That in any event, the only chance for
Buchanan is in Fillmores running. Why should
this last be said, if it were not tacitly admitted that
the votes to be cast for Fillmore would be of that
A. otLor for
why should FilImore's withdrawal initiate against
Buchanan's chances If the party at the North by
which Fillmore is supported had close afnities
with Fremontism, why should not as many of them
90 for Buchanan as Fremont, in case of Fillmore's
withdrawal Yet the Fillmore presses and orators
never once seem to regard their doing as probable
or even possible. Remember that no presses OF the
Democratic party ever allude TO any such contln-
gency as Fremontising the Buchanan forc"s III any
event, for such thing is never dreamed of by any
one. Mr.. Fillmore may be very good man, but he
has strange antecedens, and is supported by queer
party at the North, whose sole claim to nationality
to rest upon their support of that particular in
divdual, while they are ready TO throw themselves
into the Of the abolition, Southern- hating free
DOM hrieking cohorts, in he be Withdrawn.
We make no appeals TO Southern men, but we state
the case. Ii is for them, of all parties, 10 Judge for
themselves. If any controlling portion of the North
holds It's allegiance to the Constitution and its sense
Of justice to the South so light to be willing, for
the merest considerations of men, 10 desert their
country, it is time that the South should know it.
Such portion or party at the North has no national
principles to be depended on in any event. and it and
It's candidate alike unsafe, even though every
Crossroad politician in the country should assert
10 the contrary. Said crossroads politicians to the
contrary Notwithstanding, the facts pre- cisely as
we have stated Them.
