reconciling Mr.. Buchanan's views to its
readers sore task. 1t says:
owe say without the least hesitation,
that we regret Mr.. Buchanan did not either
employ more precise language, or else con-
fine himself to the literal text of the Gin
cinnati platform, in defining his position
in respect to the doctrine of Territorial
Sovereignty" -
cart thou there old True penny ?'
The Enquirer in the face of Mr.. Buchan-
ans letter refuses to admit however, we
suppose for forms sake-doubtless it wishes
to see its candidate take his defeat as grace
fully as possible, and see its party die
decently y-that Mr.. Buchanan holds to the
''pernicious heresy,' and adds:
owe declare moreover that if the Demo-
cratic candidate did profess any such per-
nicious heresy, this paper would be prompt
and outspoken in repudiating the position %
We ask our readers whether, if the En-
quirer is open to conviction from language,
the import of which is unmistakeable,
there remains any course to pursue save
and except repudiation, of the champion
of squatter sovereignty. And We ask will
Southern men adhere to cause and the
representative of that cause when the re-
cord proves it and him to be inimical not
only to them and their interests but to the
Union. For the broad seal of, the nation
ality of the Democratic party was removed
at Cincinnati; the treasure was taken from
the store-house, and the platform proves
and Mr.. Buchanan's letter of acceptance,
proves that "squatter sovereignty" again
to quote the language of the Enquirer,
can imposture-a counterfeit copy an
ugly idol wrought by mems hands has
been set up in its stead. The Enquirer
says it Sought to be kicked off the pedestal
where it sits in mock majesty, and courts
the admiration of fools and demagogues' y
The people will repudiate the endorsement
of this heresy at the ot-box-they will
not be forced to offer it, the indigni.y
suggested by the Virginia cditor,-it will
fall of its own weight-be destroyed by
the process of corruption which is common
to death. 1t is due to the able journal
from which we have quoted so literally
to remark that it labors assiduously and
with much plausihility in its defence OF
Mr.. buchanan against the charge which
we drive home upon him in this article;
but we must also add that so far from be.
ing convinced that he succeeds in his effor,
to exOnerate the candidate of the Cincin-
natl convention, we are forced to the con-

Democrats to Old line Wings. Greet
tng.-The Richmond Enquirer, the Lead
ing organ of the Southern Democracy,
talks Fright out in .lneetin y to Old Line
Wings, as follows:
"We invite no man of Wing principles
to join the Democratic party. Such an
overture would be as insulting to him as
unjust to our party. A person with Whig
convictions cannot consistently and honest
ly profess to be of the Democratic party.
A person with Wing convictions canno.
be admitted into the Democratic organza-
ton, without, to some extent, corrupting
Its integrity and dcbauching its principles.
We invite no Wing to come into the Dem
ocratlc party, unless he chooses voluntari-
lyand from conviction to abjure his ancient
faith, and to profess allegiance to our pc
culiar platform. +"

Facts from the Record,

Is the high sounding title of an article
examining into Mr.. FilImore's Congress
sional antecedents, reproduced from pape,
called the "Sunny South" by the anti
American paper published in this place.
Something over four columns we believe
have been devoted to the task of laying the
article in question, before the readers of
the Democrat, and after the desperate
effort made by the editor of the "Sunnv
South" his respect for the truth and for
his own reputation for decency, inspires
him to conclude his TRADE with the fol-
lowing paragraph, which, coming from an
lnveterate enemy of the American party
and of Mr. Fillmore, shows very laudablc
disposition to do Mr. Fillmore Justice.
"We know that Mr. Fillmore's friends
say that his administration was national
We are willing to give him all the credit
he is entitled to in this respect. In 1851,
when Mr.. Fillmore called out the military
at Boston for the purpose of enforcing the
fugitive slave law, We then joined in the
voice of praise and applause uttered by
every Southern heart. We retract nothing
we said In his praise for that noble act.
But Mr.. Fillmore has never recanted his
abolition votes, or his abolition sentiments,
and his election would be an endorsement
and triumph of his abolition opinions, =
opinions, which we defy any man to show
that MIR. Fillmore ever recanted"
In connection with this admission of the
"Sunny South,' we request our readers to
peruse the following interesting correspon-
dence, which with the comments thereupon.
is taken from the Mobile Advertiser, Sep
tember, lo4S. We deem comment alto
gether unnecessary. Has the Sunny South

Another Locofoco Gun Spiked!
Important Letter fron, Mr. Fillmore.
We take peculiar pleasure in laying be-
fore the public the subjoined letter from
MIR. Fillmore, on the subject of Abolition,
which has been furnished us by Gov.
Gayle for publication. 1t will be found
frank and explicit, and all that any South
ern man could expect from citizen of a
free State. Indeed, it is perfectly sound
all that the South could ashland
stamps indelibly with falsehood the charge
of Abolitionism, which the Locofoco press
of the South have been endeavoring to fix
upon the distinguished and patriotic wri-
ter. There is not prominent man of
any party north of the Potomac, who is
freer from all taint or suspicion of Aboli-
tion-none who, in feeling or principle,
Is further removed from fanaticism, none
entertaining sounder or more conservative
views, and none more ready to stand hv the
constitution, and the rig hts of the South
guaranteed by the Constitution, than Mil
lard Fillmore. Read, ,Southreners, read:
Gov. Gayle, in transmitting us the let
ter, writes as follows:
MOBILE, Both August, 1S4S.
DEAR SIR: l will thank you to pub
hsh the enclosed letter in the Advertiser.
Before / left Washington 1 saw that
the Southern Democratic papers were as
serting recklessly, and, as l believed, with
out the slightest foundation, that Mr..
Fillmore was an Abolitionists. l address

ceived the reply now sent you.

Home Again!

MILLARD FILLMORE'S return has been
the signal for such orations as have only a
few times marked the path of travel of
distinguished men. Thousands upon thou
sands have gathered to meet him. Their
pent up enthusiasm has found an outlet
In the laundering welcomes which have
greeted him at every step of his progress.
The people have gone out to meet him,
and proved that he is the man of their af-
fections. He has given utterance to as
lofty and pure sentiments of patriotism as
ever fell from the lips of men; and his
followers have greeted the words in which
he, the man of unsullied honor, pledged
himself, his life and his fate to the Union
and to all constitutional rights of all sec
tions, with such demonstrations of Joy,
such manifestations of reciprocity as show
to the traducers of the American Party
who compose this party. Let us all take
heart. The skies are frightening. all
betokens well. Throw doubt to the winds
and work with a will, and the day is ours.
Millard Fillmore against James Buchanan
Who can doubt the choice of the people
We will have Fillmore for our next Presi-
dent. The subject don't admit of doubt.
~ We are not alone In our views con-
cerning the import of Mr. Buchanan's let
ter of acceptance The people know that
the view which we take is the true and
just one. The press in the interest of the
American party, the old line Whig press
the independent press, agree with US, or
rather we agree with them. We find the
following paragraph going the rounds
With such corroborative testimony as this
from the ''National Intelligencer" of the
21st of June, we are satisfied we are
right:
Mr. Buchanan and Squattcr Sovereign
g.-Mr. Buchanan, in his letter of accep-
tance, openly and boldly approves this doc
trlne- Remember that, people of the
South; and read the following:
From the National LnteNigenccr, June 21
''But while giving to his letter the ac-
acknowledgement of our admiration and re-
spect, we refrain from evoking any recol-
lectlons which may seem to mar the SINGER
ity of our praise, and for like reason we
forbear all comment upon the interpreta-
tion which Mr.. Buchanan gives to GER
tain disputed point of Democratic doctrine,
respecting the power of Territory to es-
tablish or prohibit the institution of slave
~. Mr.: Buchanan, it will be seen, gives
in his adhesion to the principle of Squat
ter Sovereignty, as it is popularity called,
in terms the most definite and express,
understanding, as he does, that Congress,
by its recent Legislation upon this subject,
has ''simply declared that the people Of a
Territory, like those of State, shall de-
eide for themselves whether slavery shall
or shall not exist within their limits"
