The true Democrat., 1856-06-24

Or A correspondent in Conway county in- forms us that a notice has been stuck up in that county, to the effect that Capt. Danley aoaU address tue people. at Springfield on aV politi- cal questions noa0 being agitated' Our correspon- dentsays--'I will give him one, because connect ed with a political candidate. Yell said, in his speech here, that it was said that he, Yell, had the best shaped head-the strongest mind, and was the best orator in the State, together with other vagaries. The people here inquire whether or not Yell is sane of mind and me- mory. This is political question now being agitated. The Captain ought to enlighten us"
 That Yell should express himself as vain and bloated ignoramus is to us matter of no surprise. The Know Nothings have so be- daubed and puffed him with sickening panegy- TIC that It IS a wonder to us that the swollen and illustrous General has not before this met the fate of Esop's frog.
 Take as specimen, the following resolu- tion, adopted at a Know Nothing meeting held ill an adjoining county. After modestly con- firmng the nominations of Fillmore and Don elson, comes the following:
 Be t fu,tAer Reso1red, That we heartily and explicitly ratiiy the action of our American State convention Tn the nomination of Gen. James Yell as a suitable and proper candidate on the American i ticket for Governor of the State His mature years have been devoted to the task of unfolding the pow CTS and illustrating the princ pies of political phioso- phy t" the people large; and we believe that he has thereby erected for himself monument of fame far beyond the ordinary memories of political glory We deem him the man to enlighten instruct and convince the people; and the victories that he will accomplish will be those of mind accustomed to grappe with difficulties. winch never fails to render them endearing and lasting the material itself of which they made."
 We ask the reader to peruse that again. He cannot get 1t all down at one swallow Is it not skillfully drawn? Yes, and administered bya skillful practitioner who understood his sub- jet, and prepared the dose to reach the utmost capabilities of the patient. We hope to hear that>the editor of the Gazette, at his appoint ment in Springfield, discussed the question pro- posed for him by our correspondent. If he did all we can say is that we shall ever regret not being there to hear him. His subject requir- ed it, and ah! how we would have been edifed to hear the Captain "untoM tue poacers and al- 'ustrate tue principles cf political philosophy tc l the people at large" Oh! The Times! the Times! Has the great, national, united, Ame. rcan, Know Nothing party degenerated to this at last! Jim Yell going forth to "iNushatt Me principles cf political philosophy to the peopt
 
 at arge' And the editor of the Gazette fol- lowing in his wake, and erecting tor himsey c monument ct tame beyond tue ordinary memories cf political glory." We ask the Know Noth- ings if these are the men by whom they ex- pect to effect revolution, and establish grand era in the political philosophy of America
 Fillmore Accepts.
 The telegraph announces that Mr. Fillmore accepts the nomination. MT. Fillmore is less shrewd than we had suspected. His aspira- ton to be again the president has got the better of his prudence. His ambition has led his req son captive. Supposins him to be sane, we can only account for his rashness on the SUD- position that he reflects that accident once plac- ed him in the presidential chair, and, by throw ing himself in the way, accident may do the job for him again. Accident may doi it, but the people of these United States, with their eyes open, never will.
 Mir. Fillmore accepts and places himself upon the Know Nothing platform. It is platform that pleases him. His telling us so was super tluous; we knew it pleased him before he told Us. It is platform upon which the south is to be sold. It ignores the allimportant, all- absorbing, vital question of slavery. The word "slavery' is not even mentioned in it. The tastidious stomachs of the northern Know Moth ngs rejected the very word itself. All this pleases Willard Fillmore:
 Mr. Fillmore s for legislating to prevent the slave trade between the States. H. can stand upon the Know Nothing platform and do that. Mir. Fillmore is in favor of legjslating to abolish slavery in the District ofColumbia He can stand upon the Know Nothing platform and do that too. Mir. Fillmore is opposed to the admission of any more slave States. He can stand on the Know Nothing platform and carry out all such sentiments. Mr. Eddie, who introduced the platform into the convention, said that he was opposed to the admission of slave States, and would so vote in Congress MT. Eddie Is an abotionist. The editor of the Gazette has said Mir. Fillmore was an aboltionist too. They are worthy pair to come to slave hold ing States for support.
 Mir. Fillmore Is opposed to the use of the veto. If an abolition Congress should pass a law repeating the fugitive slave law-abolshing slavery in the District of Columbia-prohibt- ing southerners from going il to the territories or suppressng the trade in slaves between the States--the south might appeal to him in vain --he a0ould not veto tt. MT. Fillmore is opposed to the use of the veto
 But Mr. Fillmore accepts the Know Nothing nomination--that's rich, is it not? Gen. Scott got four States--just four and no more We firmly believe Fillmore will not get half SC many. The contest is between Buchanan and the black republican. Old Buck will win the field. The black republican will be distanc ed. Fillmore will never be heard of Mark that!
