thinks ii is tantamount to dissolution to sur
port Presidsnsial ticket with both cand
dates either North or South Of the line 9
Slavery. He sscms very obliyious OF his
torical facts when he ventures on such an Al
sertion. Several times in our history hsv
such tickets been presented, and supported
TOO, on avowedly sectional grounds
ground on which the Fremont ticket il no
presented or urged by anybody, and NJ,
Fillmore himself has voted and advocate
snch tickets. For instance: Mr.. Fillmor
supported and voted for Adams and Rush
both Northern men, against Jackson nm
Calhoun, both Southern men; and in 1888
he supported Harrison and Granger, bot
Northern men, against Calhoun and johnson
/ both Southern men. Mr.. Fillmors . zeal, "
are afraid, has clouded his memory rs wei
as prejudiced his judgment. But the sam
may be said Of the ranting Buccaneers, VIII,
seem to have adopted falsehood and sland 81
as their principal weapons in this campaign
Let US call the attention Of both the right snc
left wings Of the Pro- Slavery army to thes,
historical facts. They should be careful
how they employ arguments that their own
lives give tie lie to. By the employment OF
this argument, Fillmore consradicts Fillmore,
and the Black Democracy annihilates itself.
ASSURANCE WORTHY OF THE CAUSE THE
Times quotes some remarks about Republic
anism from Wendell Phillips, and adds:
"Our neighbors of the Gate, we doubt
not, with their accustomed assurance, will
deny all this. But it 10 on tho record
These men are in full communion with the
SO called Republican party dictate its
course, etc."
We shan't deny that he said what is i'm.
ted to him, for We don't know; but We do
deny that he is in 'sfull communion with the
Republican party" most certainly. Mr..
Phillips is an Abolitionist Of the Garrisonian
school, ono Of tho ablest and most prominent
among them. He and they, so far from be-
ing members Of our party, oppose and de-
nouneeit. They do not telong to any voting
party, for they do not vote oil, and on radi-
cal grounds are opposed to the Republican
party. All this the editors Of the Times
KNOW, or they are not possessed Of that or
binary intelligence which renders them fit to
conduct public journal; and II they know
it, then they UTTER A FALsEnooD KNOWINGLY!
Surely such stupcndous assurance is worthy
the seryitors OF Human Slavery.
But let us quote, in this connection,
toast, taken from series equally infamous,
given At gathering Of the supporters of
Buchanan, in Kansas, on the 4th instant:
DrsUNIoS--By secession, or Otherwise
beacon of hope to an oppressed people, and
the surest remedy for Southern wrongs. -
Enthusiastic cheers.
CO The Gate City calls Fremont sthe
great Southern Know Nothingw Foreign
born citizens take notice.--[Times.
stake notice. that We did no such thing.
We called Sam. Houston the 81 great South
ern Know Nothing" We don't wonder the
Times is fretted by the character OF it's new
allies. Its reckless falsehoods arc no Ion
ger matter of wonder to any one.
