Fillmore and the Union.

The N. u. Commercial Bulletin, very
able old line Whig paper, is doing glorious
service in the good cause. 1t is real
pleasure to take it up, and read its glowing
and enthusiastic editorials. Read the fol-
lowing from the Bulletin, and let the spir-
it in which it is penned, transfuse the heart
of every lover of his country, and nerve
him to the struggle for the Union in which
our friends are engaged. What if we can
not redeem Arkansas, We can remain true
to our principles and not basely succumb
to the insolent and arrogant dictation of
party which has just achieved a victory by
such means as should bring the blush to
the cheek of every one engaged in bring
ing about the result.
Great Fillmore Rally at Odd Fellows
Hail.
New Orleans sends greeting to her sis
ter cities of the South and West and East
and North. She spoke last evening, at
Odd Fellows Hall, and in tones that will
be likely to be understood. A FILLMORE
gathering, such as never before assembled
in that building, took place, and FILL
MORE shout was heard that will reverbe-
rate over hill and valley, along the plains,
and over the prairies, and be echoed back
till the spirit of it shall be caught by the
entire South 1t was n 1910 and '4S

on the storm and directing the whirlwind
of the times, and out of them bring peace
and safety
Notwithstanding the intense heat of yes
terday, and the luxury of the cool breezes
of the evening, Odd Fellows Hall-the
largest in the city-was not only crammed
by dense mass of citizens inside, but the
doors, windows and every accessible place,
presented dense throng of people, as
though some extraordinary spectacle was
about to be exhibited. We could not get
near enough to make out who the officers
were, though we were told that Mr. THos
f. ADAMS presided. As we entered Mr.
GLENDY BURKE was just mounting the
platform at the call of the multitude
"Fillmore Rangers" said he, and the
words were no sooner uttered than the
house shook with a tumultuous shout
He spoke but few moments, but every
sentence elected applause from the vast
multitude. He was followed by NJ. A.
FoUTE, Esq, who was greeted by per-
feet storm of enthusiasm from beginning
to end
Occasionally, as he spoke for the preser-
vation of the Union and Mr.. FILLMORE,
the whole audience rose to their feet, wa
wing their hats amid long and vociferous
cheering. In the midst of his speech, a
company entered, bearing one of the iden-
teal banners which were borne on to vic
tory in 1913, with the names ''TAYLoR
and FILLMORE" inscribed upon it. We
