stupendous piece Of political shys,erism
Americans or Fillmore men who can
sufficiently divest themselves of all con.
sIderations Of consistency, principle an,
honor SO as to engage in such an enter.
prise. are welcome to the lanrels with
which they shall wear even the crown of
success. Twill have no part or lot in the
matter, and assure you here, that but
very besgarly account of the Americans
in the State of New York will.
If we should conclude to vote strs;rb,
for Bell and Everett, we would have The
qualification of knowing that VIC suppor.
ted men eminen,ly qualified for the off,
ces, rs well as for men who are the first
choice Of some, at least, but of course
without any hope Of success.
If. on the other hand we should CON-
clude to act afiirmatively and to q pur.
pose, tine way is clear to me. There is
party whose platform of principles, save
one resolution. conforms in all respects
with my views as to what should be the
policy of this country in reference to the
subjects involved. And that resolution
l believe to have been inserted, rather q.
matter Of policy for the present, than
as fundamental principle. Therefore
| am willing to hold my objections to it
in sbeyance, for the time being. as well
as to forgive the spirit in which suspect
it to have been introduced.
There was time when your speakers
voice was listend to in that camp With
some degree Of consideration, and his
counsel was regarded of some avail in
doubtful questions. And whether you
will hear or whether you will forbesr.
his voice and counsel now is-to seize the
gorgeous ensign of ours-lct it be high
advanced-rally around it all trus Amer
ican hearts-and in tho van of the op-
pressed against the oppressor, let the
gathering cry be-God and the right
Lincoln and Victory!
