For the True Democrat. The Good Things Fillmore will do for the South.

flllmore's northern frlends-in trying to make (Flllmore) pass muster at the south; for. said he, while Fillmore will not make a southern electorial'vote by the operation, he will loosa by it all his freesoil popularity at the north.- He told them that if they wished to give their man chance in the race they must free him from these southern incumbrances. and tr,n him on the tract as a northern man with north ern principles. Doubtless this was for m. Fillmore good advice, because, at the north tb.,o were but few Know Nothings who were no. freesoilers--and at the south there Were ro. enough Know Nothings to give him any ono State; and the democratic nominee. who svo. he might be, would sure to have record mora acceptable to the south than his was.
 It is clear case that Fllmores nortbsrr friends have taken Bennett's advice or tber bo. come to the same conclusion of their own oo cord; for, at present, at the north-betwoou them and the Fremont men, the oroat ,o;.. which each party is striving to establish as on advantage for its candidate s-his reliobl1, o, treesoler. The friends of each contend tho. their candidate is the strongest freesoier T,, the leading friends of Fillmore assert that freq. soil principles would be more surely acted unor by him as President than Fremont-becans0 the latter, they charge, was born and raised in the south, and that his connections are all slava holders, whereas they say, MT. Fillmore WAS born and raised in the north, and has alwav. been freeseiler. l gave you in my last David Paul Browns sentiments upon the subject Mr. Brown, it is well known, is not merely free. soiler but an out and out abolitionst. Below give you an extract from the lately made celebrated speech of Mir. Hiram Ketchum-ops of the most sincere aud most influential friends of Mir Fillmore This speech was delivered at great Fillmore gathering at New Havenin Connecticut-Mr. Ketchum, says:
 of there is any man here, or in the State of Connecticut, that has ever opposed the exten. sion of slavery more than be who addresses you tonight, or has ever done more to give the slave his legal constitutional rights, then would like to see that man. (Applause.) Gentlemen, 1 attached myself early in life to that party WulCu was dlWd dNS anu ever OppOStU tO the tension of slavery, and 1 say here tonight that the whig party of the north has always had tthat creed, and these republicans can't take out patent for it, for manyea long years-(mer ment and applause)-and I say that Willard Fillmore has been true to that party and never had, since he entered into political life, any other principle but that which would prevent the further extension of slavery. (Applause.) A io Dopo1eo,, -!,,
 Mir. Ketchum-The fact is, my friend that Mir. Fillmore stands remarkably good chance to live through the four years. (Laughter) man. MT. Fillmore himself is in the yigor and prime of life, and don't think-and perhaps l may make this an apology for not discussing the question-that there is any chance of the Vice President being President for the next four years. Slaughter and applause.)
 But upon this subject of the extension of slavery what are MT. Fillmores principles?- Why, he thinks just as we all think I will venture to say, if my friends will allow me to use his name, that if the Rev. Dr. Taylor, of this city, now present, and Mir. Fillmore should sit down together, they would not disagree practicle, and 1 only exemplify by these dstin- guished persons the common feeling of the north. They think alike-they would act alike. Now what is Fillmores opinions upon the present crisis? 1 read from one of his re- cent speeches:
 have no hesitation in saying that most of you know already, that 1 was decidedly oppos- ed to the repeal of that Mo. compromise Good faith, as we'll as the peace of the country, seemed to require that a compromise which had stood for more than thirty years, should not be wantonly disturbed. Those were my sentiments then, fully and freely expressed, yer. baliy and in writing, to all my friends, north and south, who solicited my opinion. This re- peal seems to have been a PandOraS box, out ot which have issued all the political evils that now atfilct the country, and scarcely leaving hope behind. Many, perceive, are ready to lmpute all the blame to our southern brethren. But Is this just? No, mol It must be borne Tn mlnd that the measure originated with northern Senator, and was sustained and sanc- toned by northern President Applause.
 Now, my friends, what would Mr. Fillmore do! Well, l cannot undertake to say what he would do, but, in my judgment, he would ex- erclse all his power and influence in favor of llmltng slavery to where 1t is. In my iudg- ment he would do all he could to see fair play Tn Kansas, and if he would do as 1 should re- commend to him. Kansas should not be ad- mlttcd as a State under two years from this date. We have had enough of admitting these untedged States. am utterly opposed to ad- hitting any other State, since we have admit ted California, until we see how she behaves herself as territory, and whether the people are capable of governing themselves. There. fore, upon this subject believe MT. Fillmore to be entirely sound, and 1 am sure I would not advocate him here tonight if 1 did not
 But what shall we say of Mir. Fremont?-- Gentlemen, 1t is always safer to judge men from what they have done than from what they pro- mise. What are MT. Fremont's antecedents? In the first place he is a southern man; his as- sociations have been with southern men; his connections are shareholders; and it is therefore reasonable to suppose the tendency of his mind and of his principles, is in favor of slavery l Now, what southern man would give toss up for choice between the two? Mr. Fillmore's friends wish the south to confide in his personal attributes-but are not Fremonps qualities in this regard good set-otf to MT. Fillmore's-- born in the south," etc? Southern Fillmore men tell us we should take the naaa-that he is platform enough. That in the present condi- ton of things it is Fillnporeisns they go for. should like to see what part of this Fillmoreism It IS that will fall to the soute,n share-it would take powerful microscope to discover it. Every southern Know Nothing should carry one in his pocket to use when he is trying to make converts
 The south, I suppose, will be allowed to eat | the crumbs that fall from MT. Fillmores table --and that is the best he can do for us QUI WYE. Post Roads in Arkansas.
