But, IF it be possible that the Tribune abhors any
thing or man worse than it abhors the South, that
man is Willard Fillmore native Of the STATE OF
New York, and Union candidate for the Presidency
of the United States Its vndictiveness towards nm
is without parallel in the annals of journalism, and 1t

it nav possibly be asked. 1t is easy to give sim
nle conpete and irrefutabe answer. As President
of the United States lie regarded none Of the geo.
graphical divisions of the country. They were all
the same to him. He executed the laws and admin
stered the Government with the same impartial JUS
tce irmness and honesty, in the extreme South that
he did in the extreme North. The Constitution he
had sworn to support embraced all sections-exer-
csed an undivided sway from the Bay Of Fundy to
the Gulf of California from the Northern lakes to the
Gulf Of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans-and Willard Fillmore looked alone to that
L.,
star, in the execution of the lofty duties and grave
responsibilities his exalted position deroyed upon
him. Well and truly did he obey the mandates of
that Constitution. Faithfully and firmly did he en-
force the laws enacted by its authority. Devotedly
and untnchingy did he cling to the union Of these
States created by it; and bravey and nobly did he
breast the storm Of fanaticislI and roll back the
waves of wild sectionalism which threatened to wreck
the Union of WASHINGTON. His efforts were crowned
with complete success. The sectional winds were
lulled to rest The political waves ceased to menace
destruction to our safety; and when he laid down
the mighty powers with which he was clothed anG
went into the retirement of private lfe all was peace
harmony and benignant promise, from one extremity
of this vast confederacy to the other.
| For accomplishing so patriotic work the eNtrem
lists of both sections Of the Union hate him. for the
entire political stock is comprised in one wordagita
tion-and all their hopes of preferment depend upon
keeping up agitation. Mr.. Fillmore put an end to sec
tiona agitation and by so doing thwarted the hope
and designs of thousands of interruptions men deter
mined to obtain place and power without the slight
est regard to the means used the pera they nigh
thereby bring upon our common country.
Mr. Fillmore did more than this. When he retired
from the Presidency there was not dis,mionis
South or an abolitionist Or reesoier North in til,
enjoyment of a federal Office! Every noxious plan
had been carefully weeded out of the national garden
Not one was allowed to remain.
His patriotic, consistent and invariabe course, cx
asperated the Northern ahotionists to paroXysns o
phrenzy. They stormed. they rayed and they threat
ened. But all availed nothing. The axe had beer

they would have remained but for the reckless machi
nations ofaspiring demagogues. Had Mr.. Fillmore
successor persisted in the wise policy inauguraed by
him. the country would not now present the nauspi
cious spectacle which grievcs the hearts Of all lovers
| of the Union.
| It is undcniable that the abotioniss have reason
for their hatred and relentless opposition to the Uniol
candidate for the Presidency Once he has thwartet
and ovcrthrown them, and if he is elected he vii
again thwart and overthrow them. Hence the en-
venomed nature of the war they wage against him
They give him no quarter, as they know they may
expect no quarter at his hands. And should TIN
aboltionsts and reesoilers succeed in defeating Mr.
Fillmore--no matter who else is cleccd-mark the
prediction, their organs will claim that defeat rs the

We ask our readers, without distinction of part,
to mark the unmistakable wording of the above Tvs
truths shine clearly through it, and those tr,tl
should go deeply home to every Southern man. II
first is that the Tribune would sooner see Mr.. 3

that the Tribune thinks the Buchanan riumphs
Pennsylvania and Indiana were accomplished by Il
aid of Fillmore votes.
The Tribune is on the right track i'll regard to Il
elections There is no earthly doubt Of it. The late
elected Governor Of Indiana, Mr.. Willard. in speed
delivered in Louisville a few days ago declared tn
one out of every ten votes he received was a Flmo
vote. At the last Presidential election Indiana ca
creased rather than decreased within the last 70
years. Taking Gov. Wizards Democratic data the
it is apparent he received some II 900 Fillmore vote
and he was Oaly elected, according TO the last retlr
that met our eye by majority of about 1000 vote
Does not this showing prove exactly what the 7

against tanaticsm wherever it raises its howid fro
when the opportunity is afforded them? We thil
SO and VIC do not see how any candid or intclligc
man can think otherwise.
