approximations, and the readiness with
which the one sustained the others fabrca-
tion, have made some impression upon the
public mind, or at least upon the minds of
such as consult their fears rather than rely
upon the goodness of their cause.
Upon the ete of our adjournment, these
and similar assertions are again renewed,
with view no doubt of sowing the seeds of
alienation and distrust between our friends
in different sections of the Union, and these
wicked and false statements are sent 10 the
country by railroad, by telegraph, and by
missionaries and emissaries, with zeal and
apparent confidence worlhier of better
cause, and the assertion is now added that
Mr.. Fillmore will be now withdrawn.
In addressing you now, we wish definite.
y TO contradict these untrue reports ,and cor
rect as far as we can the false impression to
which they have given rise, and thus to strip
our enemies of their most iavorite and near
ly only remaining means of warfare.
None Of these charges and insinuations
are true. We speak to all sections of our
common country in saying SO. The friends
of our candidates, both North and South,
are standing firmly by their colors and by
their men, and will do so until the contes. is
decided in November. They do SO both
from choice and from duty. They choose it,
because their men stand on the only truly
national platform, as broad as the entire Un-
ion, and exactly co-extensive with the Con-
stitution, recognizing the rights of the States
on the one hand, and of the Federal Govern
rnent ON the other, and holding each sove-
reign within its proper sphere; and their
duty requires that these geographical, these
sectional parties, both Republican and Dem
ocratic, SO called, shall be driven from the
field. Whoever aids either, aids one Sec
tion of a common country against another.
We can say to our friends in all sections
that from henceforh until the election in
November, they should work in good heart
and spirits, that stories of lukewarmness
and abandonment of our candidates must be
based upon something in the future differ.
ent from the past, TO be true; that North and
South the friends of our candidates are true
as well-tempered steel, and are working
with more heart, zeal, and confidence as the
canvass progresses. The hearts of true
national men, North and South, beat in uni
son with each other, and their hands are be-
ing vigorously applied TO common labor
and for common result, and there is not the
least reason, in any section, for distrust o
friends in any other. Let not the enemy
reap any fruits from the insidious policy
pursued by them. We say TO you that i
appears to us from this point of observation
that if all who in their hearts prefer Mil
lard Fillmore for President shall vote fol
him, he will be triumphdnhy elected.
We do not pretend TO direct, govern, o1
control the movements in favor of the Amer
ican cause. That is matter solely in the
hands of the people at large. 1t is theirs
they originated it. We believe our candi
dates, however, are infinitely stronger a.
mongst the people than among politicians, who
happen at this time to be in power, o,
struggling 10 acquire it. Let their friend,
be of good cheer. Let them do their duty
and they will be astonished at their grea
strength at the polls. Let each man go t,
work and confde in his friends elsewhere
and The victOry as sure! No cunningly-de
vised stories should induce them for on,
moment 10 think of taking sides between
the candidates of those dangerous sectiona
organizations which are now struggling (,
co centrate the North against the South, oil
the South against the North. They should
and will, both be overthrown. The countr,
requires repose and demands safety. Th,
friends OF FILLMORE and DOSE are The
friends of the UNION. They have the pow
er to elect them, and thus strengthen tn,
bonds of that friendship and confidence be-
tween the North and the South which il
other days added such power and glory t.
the Republic. ....
Let us now pledge ourselves each TO tn,
other that EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY Il
our candidates and our cau>e, and you may
rely upon it the country will be saved iron
the dangers that encompass it, and restored
10 the quiet and confidence which blessed i
at the the close Of Mr.. Fillmore's Admins
tration.
