n,i, has gone the urhest from hs original position To

be difficult to determine. The principles and the OBJ

removed which requires members, not only III the ex-
ercise Of the elective franchise but IN the distribution
of official patronage in discharge of public office, TO
coufne thems elves to members of the organization;
nor that the religious test which prescribed those of "a
certain belief has been wholly re-cndcd.

On the of party allegiance, then, or party at

no stronger claims upon Is Wings than has Mr.. Be-
CHANAY, or Mr.. FREnoST perhaps not as much claim,
for they never abandoned us.
Aud We must not forget that the principles and the
policy, and the ilustrous men OF the party to which
Nh. FILLMORE formerly bolonged-a party which
claimed CLAY and WEBSTER IA their leaders and cx.
ronents, had more bitter opponent and reyer than
Aojor DosELsos who now stands with Mr. FILLMORE

Presidency.
