In 1873 great many persons in Harrison
county voted Tor Miard Fillmore, for the sec
ond office in the gift Of the people; and they
boasted Of having done right, and that il Gen.
Taylor should die of, as Gen. Harrison had
done, MIR. Fillmore would make an excellent
President; and when through Proyidential
dispeasation he was made President, every con-
servative man who had voted for him, upheld
his administration. Mr.. Fillmore is still con-
servative man, and despises all kind of section
alism. He opposed the election of Fremont
and Dayton, because they were nominated by
sectional party. He opposes the election oI
Lincoln and Hamlin because they are nomina-
ted by 1.-the same kind of party. The following
extract from speech made by him in Ro-
chester, in 1856, is just as applicable now as it
was then.

question, the most populous, the most wealthy
and has the most votes, and therefore has the
power to infict this injustice on the South
But we can best judge oil its consequences by
reversing the case. Suppose that the South
was the most populous, the most wealthy, and
possessed the greatest number ofelectoral votes
and that it should declare that, for some fan
cied or real injustice done at the North, it VOC
elect none but President and Vice President
of Shareholders from the South to rule ovel
the North. Do you think, fellow. citizens, yor
would submit to this injustice? No! no!l NJ
truly you would not; but one universal cry o
No! would rend the skies. And can you sup
pose your Southern brethren less sensitive thar
yourselves, or less jealous of their rights? |

and you must therefore perceive that the sue

be the dissolution this glorious Union. l an
unwilling to believe that those who are enga
ged in this strife can foresee the consequence
of their own acts. Why should not the colder
rule which our Saviour has prescribed for ou
intercourse with each other he applied to tn
intercourse between these fraternal States?-
: Let us do unto them as we would that the
would do unto us in like circumstances. The
