The Democracy and Mr.. Fillmore

The Buchanan Democracy are now en-
o.,ed in the work Of Systematically ira
;ne;oo M1l1AsD FILLMORE. Especial!
J.. III. Tho case in the Scuth-in the
-.,v norton Of the Union which owes
mos, to him, and which should be CORES
yopdins!y grateful for valuable services
,xudsrsd during his administration Of the
government. g., -.
The politicians are alone engaged in
thi. disrepu,ab's movement; and al
slough they may blind some, VIC do not
believe they will be able to carry the IN
s'ligsut mas,e. even Of their W patty
with them. The people recollect the
mighty incidents that marked Mr.. Fill
more. administration, and have not for
po,,eu the voice Of praise that was heard
universally throughout the South, when,
BY his prudence, frmness and sagac'ty'
he had quellel The storm Of s%ec,ionaIism,
brodgL. repose upon the land, and IN ain~
,iained inviolate the constitutional rights
Of each section Of the con!ederacy.
The Buchanan po!iiicians-for ?ol!t.-
tei... are proverbislIy forgettuI aud un-
gratefaI-have forgotten, or pretended to
have forgotten, all Of these things; but
The people have not forgotten them.
With = view Of refreshing the memo
ri.. Of the politicians, and OF showing to
til. people the estimation in which the
.rssept lexders Of the Buchanan Democ-
,acy ouce .rA Mr.. Fillmore, Wa have
concluded to compile . nrmber of Dem.
&C, s,ic endorsements Of the Unioa CAIN
didate fr the Presidency, most OF which
have, from tine to ,iase, appeared in our
.olunas, and present them to the people
in .o!id array. We need not ask tia,
they be ponde'ed over as carefully and
lispassiouately as their importance
merits.
We will 6rst bring his distinguished
opponent, Hon. James Buchanan. on the
witness stand. In a speech delivered in
G'seu'burg, Pa, October, 1852, Nj. B..
said:
