Well, told him we would do it, and say now
that we will; and call upon you as witnesses Of
this compact between the South and the North,
and as an assent to the declaration that Southern
man, living upon $4,000 year In the city OF
Washington, under an administration of the free
States, is and shall always be a humbug.
Now as there is no office-holder in Washington
with a salary of $4,000 a year, who is not appa-
rently supporter Of Buchanan, some curiosity is
felt to know who this gentleman Is.

The FilImorc Meeting in Richm ond.

The Wing ratification meeting was continued in
Richmond on Tuesday evening. Notwithstanding
the inclemeney of the weather, a large audience
assembled at the African church, to listen to an
address from Judge Edward Bates, Of Missouri,
an Old-line Wing, in behalf of the claims of Fill
more and Donclson on the people Of the Union
for the high positions to which they have been
nominated The Judge made calm, logical, ar
gunentatiye speech, in which he reviewed all the
political topics now agitatng the country, and
closed about half past eleven o'clock, by warm
appeal for the preservation of the Constitution and
the Union
Hon. John M. Bolts was next called upon, and
responded briefly. Most of the time occupied by
him was in reply to the remarks made before the
Democratic Association, last Saturday, by Gov
Wise and Robert G.. Scott, Esq. He defended
himself from the charge of traitor and Abolition
ism with warmth, and defended the Constitution
and the Union. He was continually INTERRUPTED
by applause.
The Richmond American contains sketch of
Mr.. Botts's speech, from which we copy the follow.
ing paragraph on Governor Wise:
But the Governor, as am informed, intimatcd
that am ready 10 accept Office under Fremont.
If he should be elected. Now, have taken no per

of Wise himself in conversation at Staunton, when
there on a recent occasion; but bis Excellency, /
am told, went further, and charged me with trea-

point to an instance in which I have ever proved
traitor to my party or my country. Ipresume

A friend has sent us the following extracts from
Buchanan's speech, on the admission Of Texas,
which he says the sham Democrats Of his section
Of the country deny to be genuine. We repub-
lish them and respectfully ask those who are in
favor of Mr.. Buchanan to compare them with the
published speech in the Congressional Globe, and
deny If they choose to do it, that the extracts
truly copied. s
Mr.. Buchanan said in his speech, what follows
[see the Congressional Globe, part II, vol. IS,
page 621, 622.
!" In arriving at the, conclusion to support this
treaty had to encounter bat serious obstacle,
and that aoas the gnestiom Of siavery. Whilst
ever have maintained, and ever shall maintain in
their full force and vigor, the constitutional rights
Of the Southern States over their slave property,

to eStend the limits Of the Union ouer 'les0 saoe
holding Territory. After mature reflection, how
ever, overcame these scruples, and now believe
that the acquisition of Texas will be the means Of
limiting not enlarging the dominion of slavery.
" In the governments Of the world, Providence
generally produces great changes by gradual
means. There is nothing rash in the counsels of
the Almighty. May not, then, the acquisition of
Texas be the means of gradually drawing the
slaves far to the South to climate more congenia

DEATH OF GEORGE SrEERs.--The New York
papers bring the sad intelligence of the sudden
death of George Steers, the eminent ship builder
He was riding on the Long Island plank road,
when his horse took fright, throwing him to the
ground, striking with great force on his head and
shoulders. The injuries he received were 50 Sc
we're that he died on Thursday night, few hours
after the accident occurred. Mr. Steers was ma
tive of Washington city, but had lived in New
York since his boyhood. Mr.. Steers exhibited a
high order of mechanical genius in the pursuit to
which he devoted the greater part of his life He
first earned distinction by the construction of the
famous yacht America, which won the prize in tho
yacht race Of all nations, at Cowes in 1851 The
beauty and symmetry of the United States steamer
Niagara, and Adriatic, which was built under his
supervision, had recently added much to his fame
The adoption Of Mr. Steers's models in American
ship-bu lding, has greatly contributed to improve
the character of our vessels. He died in the
prime of life, being but thirty-five years Of age.

For Fillmore without the Question Of Ex
pediency. tt.

At meeting Of the Fillmore Club at North
Madison, the following, among other resolutions
was enthusiastically adopted:
Resolved, That feeling conscious that we belong
to the great conservative party who know North,
no South, no East, no West, but our country, one
and undivided, we therefore declare to the world,
I" and the rest of mankind, that we enter this
contest for Fillmore without the question of eek
pediency" We are for him first, we are for him
last, and sink or swim, succeed or fail, we are
now, and we will be until the end of this struggle
for Fillmore and the Unionl 1911
That is the spirit, says the Cincinnati Times,
that would save sinking world. Expediency has
nothing to do with the American people. Had
they consulted expedency, they would have still
been grooming under a British yoke, and did we
still submit to it, foreign influence would soon place
its foot upon our necks. Expediency forms no part
of the American spirit 1t may do for those who
are clamorous for Office, but with the masses
those who are to be benefited or wronged colIec-
lively by the incoming administration, they will
only feel the necessity of action, and then carry
out their intentions. We like the language of the
above resolution. 1t breathes its earnestness in
every syllable, and we are convinced it Is not an
empty sound. We bid them God speed in the work
they have set out to do 1t is just and will prevail
