From the Union Democrat, Fillmore PAPER.
The nomination Of Mr. Wimot for Governor,
has been brought about and accomplished by
men who have, through intrigue and deception,
managed to become the leaders and managers of
the Wing and American parties. The nomina-
tion Of Wllmot made by these unprinclpled
leaders, with the determination 10 force him on
the Wing and American parties. This IS one
OF the bodpst games Of deception we ever heard
Of. 1t IS a fact that every man ought 10 know
that these leaders have transferred and sold The
Wing and American parties TO the support
of Wllmot, VITO always did, and does now, de-
uouuce and despisc every mraSure and prncl-
they ever advocated. We ask where and when,
did these Seli-conSituted leaders receive the au-
thorlty TO make sale of the Wing and Amerl-
can parties 10 a man who IS the most obnoxious
to them 10 the State. We have 20 doubt, if
I WiImot should be elected, the unprucplrd
/ ieadrrS, who sold their parties, would get SOME
! fat Offices for their treachrry We are proud to
see that the honest Wings and Americans will
/ not permit themselves to be- sold like a flock Of
sheep. Notwithstanding the bargain and sale
/ has been made, signed, and sealed, yet they are
mantuly protesting against ii.
/ We will now examnr Mr.. WImot's political
conduct, that our readers can see his real
/ character.
/ In 1874, Wimot opposed Henry Clay for
/ President who pledged himself 10 oppose the
annexation of Texas with Slavery, and support
/ ed Polk, who was pledged in favor OF the an
nr1atlon OF Texas with Slavery. Daniel Web
4 ster stated 10 his speech on the ComPtonilsr Of
! 1890, That Texas had tn, right to make six
slave States out OF her Territory. The reader
viii see HAT Wimot laboFfd 10 bring six slave
, States into the Union at once. This fact proves
that be is not acting from honest motives on the
slavery question. The annexation Of Texas
+ with slavery was brought about by slave bold
I ers and such m-u as Wilmot. who fought their
battles in the North as snon as they made known
what they wanted.
In 1916 the savehoIding Democracy demand
ed the repeal of The tariff Of 1912. The tariff
vas a favorite measure of the Wings and Dem
ocrats Of Pennsylvania. and every member from
our State, except W ilnol, manfully opposed IFS
repeal. He stood firm with the slavrholding
Democracy in drfanre Of the almost unanimous
will Of the people Of Pennsylvania. WIlmot,
in aiding to repeal the tariff, assisted 10 destroy
protection 10 American labor and bring 1t to
level with thr pauprr labor of Europe. The
slave holders saw that that the working men
and business men oft the Free States, were pros
prring rapidly under the tariff OF l8+2, and
knew if it would be continued, it would oprr-
ate powerfully against slavery and IN favor OF
tree labor and free States.
Our readers must see that WiImot was one Of
the prominent defenders Of Shareholders, and
there is no doubt that some Of them bad prom
ispd him that they would bring him forward for
President for the services he rendered them to
sustain slavery; but they have failed to do so
and now hr is determined to take some revenge
on them By raising Northern sectional party.
Bot there is no danger that h. viii make much
trouble after the election 10 October. He will
be- so badly bpatrn that he will rot be named
for any high office hereafter. From present APP
pralancps we do not believe that be viii re-
crive three hundred votes in our county.
We ask the friends Of Fillmore to remember
The conduct Of Wilnot during the last Prrsj-
dental campaign. He rrsorrd to more intrigue,
deception aud corrupt means to defeat Mr.. Fill
more, the nominee of the Wing and American
parties, then any other man. The plan be Pur-
sued IS as follows The first move he made, be
worked himself into the good graces Of some Of
the Trading men Of the American party. AZ
ter he had accomplished this, he, by and ihro'
some means corrupted the leaders. After he
had secured good ioothold in the party, and
bad ,raduced number of the leading mrn, then
he aud those who had traduced, commenced the
work 10 break up and destroy the American
party. His desire was 10 accomplish -four Oh
ircts, viz: The destruction and overthrow oft
A Amrrican party: the death knel Of the Wing
party: the defeat of Fillmore, and the building
up Of Northern sectional party, Of which he
was determined to be the Itader in Pennsylva-
MIA, and be the nominee of said party for Gov
ernor He has accomplished his object 50 far.
We would like to see a Fillmore man look Us
in the face, aud say that be can vote for Viii
mot.
