he is by no MEANS one of the best men in the com
try now. Granting he did make good President
then, it is no reason he would now; because nc has
changed alances-afiliated with another party
the dark-antern men, and therefore not entitled to
the support of the Unlon-loving men of this coun-
try. As Mr.. Fillmore stood politically then, the
people would have been satisfied with him; but as
he now stands, they will not. It is well known, sir,
that the American and black Republican parties are
wolves, in measure, from the same lGi'-have a
majority in Congress and the people are determ-
ined to place at the helm of the ship OF State
that will veto any bill that it may pass detrimental
to the Southern holding interest, any other
bill Of sectional character and that man is James
Buchanan. Permit me to say to you, that his ma

every State in the Union. Mr.. Fillmore may posi-
lively declare and publicly assert that, if elected he
will know no North, no South-that he will know
nothing but his whole country; but let me say to
