MIR, FILLMoREs P0sITIoH DEFINED.

The Hon. Charles Ready, Fillmore Repre-
stituents, thus defines the position of Mr.. Fill
more, on the question of restoring the Missouri
Compromise:
at is true, Mr.. Fillmore was opposed TO the
repeal of the Missouri restriction; and some, it
may be many, of his supporters, were also OPP
posed to it. Therein, there was difference of
of opinion between US. But it was question
on which 1 and my political party in Congress,
when it was acted on, felt and agreed we might
differ without interfering with our political re-
lations. The Washington Union, the metro
politan organ of the Democratic party, an
nounced, about the same time, that supporting
or opposing the measure could not be regard
ed as a test of Democratic orthodoxy.
"But all those things are past. We must
now look to the future. Will there, in the fu-
ture, be an issue between us? Is Mr.. Fillmore
now, and will he hereafter be, in favor of re-
storing the Missouri restriction? He is knoaon
to be opposed to all agitation on the subject Of
,SldUery, AND TO STAND BY THE EXISTING LAWS.
Then, there is no practical issue between US
upon this point, nor is there between him and
Mr.. Buchanan. He also holds to the right of
the Territory to admission into the Union,
with Constitution prohibiting or establishing
Slavery, as the people may therein provide. In
this, we also agree with each other, and with
Mr.. Buchanan. Surely, then, l can support
him without any inconsistency or change Of
political opinion"
After this exposition, let no Northern friend
of Mr.. Fillmore attempt to cheat the people, in
that quarter, into the belief that Kansas would
be safe in his hands. Mr.. Ready declares that
Mr.. Fillmore occupies the identical ground
with Mr.. Buchanan on that point, and that
there is no issue between them and their friends.
So say all his Southern friends.

and this class should on no account be neglect
ed. There should be Fremont and Dayton clubs
in every hamlet and neighborhood; and every
man who takes a newspaper should regard it
as high duty, in this crisis of Freedom, to keep
his neighbor informed in regard to public az
fairs. Such means, perseveringly carried for
ward until the election, cannot fail to insure

to see in advance those indications of Southern
sympathy with the Republican cause, which
leave no doubt that the spell of Slavery, which
has for generation sat like a nightmare
breaking away
