big opposition the force of troth extorted from him
the following excellent tribute to Mr. Fillmore’s
character :
“MIT.T.AItH KfIXMOHE.
‘•Mr. Fillmore wa- b*»rn at Summer Hill, Cayuga 1
county, N. Y , January 7th, l* w '. , and i< ■
now m arly 50 years od. ills father wa* a farmer
in verv Uinited circnui.-'anceo. The family removed !
to Erie county iu 1811*. where the father carries
on a farm of moderate aimcnsvnps; tbe writer here- i
of has often passed the modest house where resides ;
the family of the President, ip a style not more |
pretending than is common to thriving farmers of :
that prosperous district. The narrow means ol j
the father did not permit tbe bestowal on the son j
of any ether than a most limited common-school 1
educat ion. When 15 years old he was set'to learn j
the trade of a clothier, at which he worked for
four year*, improving all his spare time in reading !
books from a little library »u the village where |
he lived. At the ngeof 10, he made the ucquaint
onee of Judge Wood; of Cayuga county, who de
tected the latent talents ot tne young man, and in
duped him to btudy law, for whicli he generously
furn sited tire m ans. Mr. Fillmore remained iu
,ludg< Wood’s office alrove two years, studying
with that industry and perseverance which have
distinguished him through life; during this time he
klso taught school in the Winter months in order
himself, to provide for 1 ir> expenses! as far as possi
ble. In l&u’J he entered tr law office at Buffalo, and
pa-sed a year, studying and teaching, when he was
adiiiitlcd to the bar and removed to Aurora tocoin
loerico the practice of his profession. In 182 bhe
married Abigail, the daughter <>i Rev. Lemuel
Powers ; she now presides at the White House. —
Several years were now m.Tnf v employed by Mr.
Fillmore in diligent judicial studies, and iu the lun
ited legal praeticp ol ac«*uutry itown. Iu 1829 he
was eh - ted to the Assembly of New York, end for
three years (during which time he removed Ins resi
dence to Buffalo) held a rent in that body. Here
hi* was remarkable for constant devotion to and un
wearied industry in his duties. He took a promi
nent and influential part in the enactment of the
law a Wishing impri. onmeut for debt. In 1832 lie
was elected to the XXHI 1 Congress, and served
creditably. In the Fail of 183 d lie was again re
turned t«> the uanp* office, and noted as Member of
the Committee of Elect,un,4 in the famous New .Jer-
Hey ‘Broad Seal case, and in that capacity estab
lished Ids ii putation in the House. He was. re.-
ilt eUni t«> the next Congress, and now assumed the
responsible position Os Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means. In the duties of this post at
a trying tadsjc, he manifested the industry, dignity
of bearing, efficient practical talent, and ability to
secure the ( oi-tidence of his colleagues, which had
before distinguished him. His public reputation
perhaps rests more upon tin* manner in which be
tilled this post in the XXVIlth Congress than on
any other portion of his eareer.
•• Alter this, resisting importunities of his friends
and the Whig Convention of his District, Mr. Fill
ui'ie returned at Buffalo to the practice of ii is profes
sion. In 1811 lie wus run by the Whigs of New
York for Governor,S“d was beaten bySilas Wright,
at the same time that tic* so-called Liberty party
threw the vote 'of the St ile hr Polk. Texas, the
Mexican War, and the Extension, of Slavery, fn
1817 he was elected Controller of the State, and re
moved to Albany to discharge the dnties of that of
lie*-, which lie held till February, 1849, when he re
signed it, prior to his induction into the Vice Presi
deucy, to which post in had been elevated by the
Presidential election of ISIS. On the death of Gen.
Taylor in duly last, Mr. Fillmore became President,
lie appointed a new Cabinet with Daniel Webster
at its head, and varied ro far from the course pur
,..nod by Gen. Taylor as to throw the influence of
til,* Administration in favor of the Compromise
m«-M. uros before Congrw. At the same time he
rebuked with firmness and decision the threats made
by Texas again J l New M< vino. Hi* course had
* be en governed by on earnest desire to conciliate
tin- warring sections and restore harmony to tbe
Fnion.”
Terrible Kioi in Itatihnore.
The Amvi true iff Saturday States : The most ter
rible riot that bus tak'i«: plin‘« iu our city for many
year*, occurred about #ux o’ctocl; yesterday atter
noon, a I the corner of Light and \N airen stC-efs -
Tie* fruitful source of most of the riots of late wus
the onus *of the uln nv, three fldiipg dubs having
been engaged in the <• mflict. it appo.irs that one
i of those efubs, known as the Wumpauugs, and loon
hd in that . vieinil v, was escorted home by the
j Mount Clare - Association and the Uip Kap tilling
i club. They several times pass ii the Seventeenth
! Ward" House, kept by «Jnines l'lurk, whore u slight*
I (htifcull-yoccurred earlier in tl.c day. Vv r lu*u they
! passed flu* house the last tiiny, one of the N1 ampa
nogs lagged behind ami cheered lor Fillmore, winch
was s, Hpoudeil to by a man on tlie sidewalk named
John Carter, who 1 1icercd for Buchanan. These
patties tfien took hold of each other, when several
j othev** interfered. The fishing club then returned,
j. when the party in bold of the house commenced
! firing pi-tols. The fire wus letunmd, and for half
i an hour the conflict was terrible, men, women, qnd
1 phildn nlu in, sliof down at every turn. The fishing
k luos jmmmenced throwing stones, and the street
was literally cow-red with them. The contending
parti<*s remained at Quarters, ami it is only
wonderful that a much larger number were not
killed. Most of those injured, as is iu supii ca
st--, had no part iu the affray.
] An old man named John Have, who was sawing
wood, received a ball in tiis breast and foil dead. A
vimug man named Win. Julies was also killed. Mr.
iDuniel Speddeii, residing in Henrietta street, was
daugeroucly wounded A man named John Caulk,
who was sifting in Lis house on Warren street, was
shot through the b-.nly, and he can hardly recover.
Frederick Albright, a German but, and Jolpi Jones,
a young lad, were also dangerously wounded.—
About twenty other persons were seriously
wounded.
The parties engaged in the fight numbered two
{ or three hundred, most »f whom were armed with
1 revolvers, and otheis with bricks and stones. The
party in Clark’s house were ril armed with guns or
revolvers, aud were e-.ideally prepared for battle,
with abundance of arms and ammunition in reserve.
They fired right and left without regard to innocent
parties having no part in the fight, and thus but few
j of theriotere were injured.
Clark, tic* proprietor of the tavern, at one time
) during the tigtit, ran from his house in pursuit of one
» of the opot sing party, with revolver in hand, and
fired six balls in succession at him. within ten paces,
noue of which apparently -took'’effect, as he contin
ued hi* flight lu the tn an time a dozen others,
j with pistols and bricks, fob.*\vt-l Clark and cut oil

The W ilil Woman —lutcrefliinu Letter*
•Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum, )
Dayton, Sept. 6, 1856. )
Judge JJurgoyne—Dear Sir: —Knowing that you,
with others, have partaken in the interest, almost
everywhere manifested, iu the so called “Wild Wo
man,” and that she came here under your official
net, I very willingly comply with your request,
wishing me to state whatever facts I may feel will
iug in relation to her.
When first placed under my care, she was pale
and considerably emaciated ; an anxiety rested up
on her countenance, indicating, to me, mental dis
turbance; or more properly, mental distress, of no
small amount.
Her insanity did not amount to mania, but it was
depression of mind, more than aberation—the result
lam satis tied of abuse and neglect. When she ar
rived here, in company* with officer Shattuck, she
presented anything but a tarns appearance, al
though friend Shattuck had used his conciliating in
fluence (which is not a little) to assuage her fears,
and assure her that she was coming among her
friends. Shq waa, however, very distrustful, not
being, I am inclined to think, much accustomed to
mingling in general society. Early deceived and
duped by some miscreant, she has been compelled
to live a retired and unwilling life.
We gradually gained her confidence, and she
slowly and steadily began to throw off that wild,and
to me rather inexpressible look ; and to the kind
ness of Mrs. Jones, her attendant, much must be at
tributed to her feeling, as she expressed it, “at
home.” She talked at first by monosyllables, wrote
some detached sentences, showing that she had
once, at least, talked and written. At first she
neit her ate nor slept well. In the course of a week
her appetite began to increase, und she slept much
better. At times you could observe a deep, melan
choly glcom rising upon her countenance, and a
struggling with a mental anxiety, almost amounting
to despondency. This state of mind has now en
tirely passed away. She has increased iu tiesh per
haps At pounds—her mind is, atpiesent, clear and
active, und she is in perfect use ot all her faculties.—
She expresses great thankftdneee for being brought
here, and says she has not enjoyed as good health
for tlie past 15 years. The entire liis.ory, not only
of her life, but in the last transaction in which she
figured in your city, is unrolled to me under such
circumstances us turbid me from making everything
public. I would just say that she is 2-1 years of age
—a native of Missouri. Her father, when she was
quite young, removed to Texas—that she is the
mother of two children—has been raised in good
life, and is respectably connected. That whatever
part she may have acted in the “Wild Woman” ad
veeture, was not altogether voluntary.
She is evidently a woman endowed by nature
with a tine mental organization—possesses a refined
sensibility, and I must think if you were Ultimately
acquainted with her, that you would agree with me
iu believing that if left to pursue her natural incli
nation of mind, that she is incapable of being in
any way a bad woman.
Os one thing I am satisfied, that she was glad to
make her escape from the persons iu whose care she
wai when arrested. She is now discharged, as you
are aware, from the recordyot i lie Asylum, as cured,
and will, no doubt, soon wend her way to her home
and children in Northern Texas.
Itespectfully yours, J. .J. Mi Ilhenny, Supt.
Affairs of Nicaragua— Reported Death of
I Deserters. —The New Orleans Picayune, of the 9tli,
publishes the following letter from its Nicaraguan
correspondent :
Granada, August 20, 1856.
Intelligence was received last evening from Chon
tales that Turley and his band of co-deserters and
robbers, have met the penalty of their crimes. The
account comes in rather au indirect manner, but it
iy considered to be entirely authentic by those who
should know. It appears that Turley hud been
plundering a hacienda in the northern pari of
Chontalcs, wheu he was attacked by a band of
Chamorristas, who killed two of his men, but who
were driven off. Subsequently they rallied, but
were again defeated, and the supposition is that
Turley and his party must have expended all their
ammunition, as they gave up their arms afterwards
to the same or another party of Chamorristas, who
surrounded them, and as soon as this was done, the
latter rushed in and cat the whole party to pieces.
The person who brought this news states that twen
ty-two of them were killed iu this massacre, which,
with the two who were previously killed, just makes
up tin* number who went with him.
Lieut. Kivcrs appears to have been with another
party, as he was seen by two or three of our men,
who were out on a scout, and had been separated
from their party. He endeavored to induce them
to desert, and had he not bceu backed by a large
party of the enemy, snugly ensconced in houses
and behind fences, he would have been brought
in a prisoner, and suffered the penalty of his of
fences.
I There are several parties now out scouting
through Chontales and its neighborhood, one com
p' i.-dng three companies of the 2d Rifle Battalion,
umh ,• command of Lieut. pol. McDonald; another
smaller party, led by Mujqr Cayc.ee, and a third
composed of kangers from Tipiilapa.
A couple of spies were brought in a few days since
by Capt. Englehart, who had been scouting in the
hills ot t’l ion tales. They were tried by court mar
tials and found guilty, and sentenced to be hung.—
The scaffold was erected for their execution ; tin y
had confessed, when the President was induced, by
the entreaties of Padre Vijil, to reprieve and finally
pardon them. This humane act lias caused general
—:iiistur*ti«>n among the native population of the
city. _____ w C. C.

Friends of Fillmore, the time has arrived when
you must bestir yourselves. No party ever tri
umphed without constant, persevering and zealou
effort—you must make such an effort if you would
succeed—with such an effort you can succeed. The
prospect of success is every day growing brighter
and brighter from one extreme of the Union to the
other. Let us then go to work, and devote ourselves
to the cause. Circulate the documents, and arouse
the people every where, to the dangers which threa
ten the country and its institutions. In this good
work we are willing to do our part. Hence we
have placed the terms of our paper so low, that they
may be scattered broad-cast over the State, and
arm every man with the means of defending the
cause and our glorious standard bearer. Let us
then make a common and earnest effort, and Geor
gia will be redeemed. It can be accomplished if
we all do our duty—our whole duty.
Save me from my Friends.
We commend to the especial attention of our
readers the very able communication with the
above caption. It hits off with the finest satire the
weaknesses of those politicians who are always
wishing well but doing ill ; who are ever sceptical
of the success of the right cause, but credulous in
hearkening to the deceitful words of the enemy. The
boastful, hollow pretences of the Democracy are de
lineated with pijjoh spirit, and no more mercy is
shown them than they deserve, which is little
enough in all conscience.
The Presidential Election.
Sj.vcp the hour when George Washington, amid
a nation’s shouts of joy, eutcred upon the duties of
President of the American Republic, there have
been many stormy clouds hovering over the coun
try, but all of them have be&n comparatively of
trivial import to the danger that now threatens our
immediate future. Section is arrayed against sec
tion, brother against b other, and the Union itself
is lightly spoken of as a tiling to be dissolved at a
moment's warning. The unexampled prosperity
that has hitherto attended the Republic, appears to
have maddened certain classes of men who now
rave for bloodshed and seem to look upon civil war
as a pleasing pastime. Wo are told that our dissen
tions cause intense delight to the rulers of Europe,
and we can readily believe that it is so. The suc
cess of the American Republic has hitherto been
the stumbling block in the way of despotism, and
if the Union could be proven to be a failure, the
price of chains would materially advance throughout
the world.
The liberties of a Republic are only preserved by
eternal watchfulness. Devotion to the glorious
cause is the sole means by which we can hope to
transmit our privileges to our children. Ii is not by
electing as our chief magistrate an obsequous crea
ture who will pander to our pecuniary interests that
we can possibly fulfill our responsibilities. Let the
truth be spoken. The greatest political crime of
the people in the ninteentli century has been the
selection of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency.
Never had he given the smallest proof of possessing
more than ordinary ability, and allied to this com
monplace were weaknesses that precluded him from
ever achieving the small successes that sometimes
I a*tend common men. lie was pliable and he
became President Those who brought about this
consummate:: should now review the consequences
of their selfishness. The Northern and Southern
Democracy are alike to blame. They have done
their utmost to rend the Union by dissentions.
! The Democracy are now split into two hostile
camps. One with Fuemont for its leader, has the
North. East and West in its train—the other, far
less powerful, has Buchanan as its chief in the
South. Both are rabid spoilsmen, both are deadly
foes to the Union, und both are blind with insane fu
f ry. The blind madness to which we a! ude, is so
: I remarkable in the South, that although Fremont's
: followers out-number those of his aged rival, yet the
Southern Democracy affect to believe that they
have a fair prospect of success. The sole reason
why the Democracy of the South and the North
have selected Buchanan and Fremont is that they
believe them to be equally pliable with Pierce. —
They would perpetuate the crime.
All nobility of mind is happily not dead in the
Republic; all devotion to the sacred cause fer which
our forefathers offered their lives has not expired.
Mili \rd Fillmore, the glorious patriot and exalt
ed statesman, endorses a principle that can only
die with liberty, lie is the child of the Union—the
inheritor of the virtues of the founders of the Repub
lic. On the broad national platform of American
ism. he stands, promising equal rights to North and
South, promising peace and contentment to the
soil, promising perpetuity and increasing lustre to
our land. The most portentous hour in our coun
try s history draws near ; the solemn duty of deci
ding whether the Union shall continue in glory, or
close in blood, as is believed by some and hoped for
| by others, must soon be made. Let those who are
! children of anarchy and woe cast their votes in the
South for Buchanan, in the North for Fremont :
! let those who are deserving of being ranked as men
whom the Gods might love, votejjforth, East, South
and West for Millard Fillmore.
The Boa«*iimt Democracy.
| The Columbia (So. Ca.) Times, a State-rights j
' Democratic organ, after alluding to the overwhelm
ing defeat of the Democracy in Maine, very perti
nently asks :
Wuat now becomes of the silly boast of the organs
and leaders of the Democracy, that every State in
; the North, save only Vermont and Massachusetts,
would vote for Buchanan and Breckenridge ? It is ;
fast turning out to be mere braggart assumption— ;
all gas. Not only has the Black Republican major
ity in Vermont largely increased, but it has swelled ■

’«'• (•arfreß , « Explanation.
YestlhsjAY we received the following communi
cation from Col. d. Gartrell :
Atlanta, Sept. 12,185 b.
Dn. Wm. I reached home yesterday
morning, alter a we tk's absence, arid found your
daily paper of the ?t * ins' . m which you say: “Our
correspondent. *ObseiT*r/ represents Col. Lucius
J. Gartrell as having ir. ude the folk wmg declara
tiou in a late speech at : -He (Gartrell)
affirmed that the editor of the Chronicle te Sentinel
is a Northern man—that he » ashamed to publish
the American platform—thi't Iris proclivities are de
eidedly Northern, and that .‘.herefore be could ac
count for the enthusiastic support he gives to Mil
lard Filiuwre.’ ” You further say, “there must cer
tainly be «'un&mi*u»ke about ibis.” lou are right
in saving, “there must certainly be some mistake
about this. Your correspondent must certainly
have misunderstood me. I never did say that
you was a Northern man. nor did I intend to con
vey such an idea. What I intended to sa v. and
wliati recollect to have said, not only at McDon
ough. but previously at other places where 1 ad
dressed the people, was in subFtanc*- this: that I had
understood that the real political editor of the
Chronicle te Sentinel, or the gentleman who mainly
conducted the political department, was l Northern
mail, or had recently come South , showing that I
could not have referred t* > you rself. Neither did I say
that you had n ver published the American platform,
as your comments seem to imply; but I declared not
only at McDonough but elsewhere, that the country
had been ilooded with the extra Chronicle & Senti
nel—a campaign paper to make votes—and that
strunge to say the American platform adapted at i
Philadelphia, could not be found in its columns, and \
that you were aahamedTo publish it In comment- j
iDg upon the cour»e of your paper. 1 have iuvaria 1
b!y stated that a few days after the platform was
adopted, you published it “to satisfy the curiosity of
your readers,’ aud that then before Fillmore accept
ed the nomination, and when you were a disinter
ested witness, you spoke the truth when you de
clared that '-finch a platform mr.v very well suit the
views of the spoilsmen of Washington City, but is
not al all adapted to a Southern latitude, or in
deed any latitude where the people possess suffi
cieut patriotism to maintain the Constitutional J
right* of the South. 1 '
Is that your opinion of the platform now ? If so, j
how can yon, os a native Georgian, support Mr. Fill
more, who accepts and endorses a platform which !
you declare to be not at all adapted to “any latitude
where the people possess sufficient patriotism to i
maintain the Constitutional rights of the South?'"
After thus denouncing the American Platform, 1 can !
only say, if you were not ashamed to publish it in j
your Extra, you ought to have been.
I hope you will do me the justice to insert this in I
your paper. Y ours respectfully,
Lucius J. Gartrell. j
This explanation is certainly a very lame one, and j
in his effort to extricate himself, the Colonel places |
himself in a very unenviable position, as we shall »
proceed to show.
It will be seen that he addresses his letter to Dr. |
W. S. Jones. Mr. Gartrell knows very well, j
and has long known, that \V. S. Jones was aud is
the publisher, and that J. W. Jones is the Editor
of the Chronicle 4- Sentinel ; aud of course re- 1
sponsible for the principles ipaintained in its col
umns. lie knew well that both are native Geor
gians. But he has “ understood" that the teriipolili
cal Editor of the Chronicle \ Sentinel or the gen
tleman who mainly conducted the political depart
ment, was a Northern man, or had recently come
South.” How and where did he understand this ?
Who was his author ? No matter when, or from
whom he heard it, he knows who is, and who is
known to be the Editor of the Chronicle Senti
nel ; aud according to his own showing, he has made
such statements before the people as to make a
false impression. Whether it was so intended, the
people before whom the statements were made
must decide, when cognizant of the facts. But adds
the Colonel, “Icouldnot have referred to yourself!"
Strange indeed, unless he deliberately designed to
deceive and mislead the people, to whom he was
speaking, that lie did not say to whom lie did refer.
He spoke of “the Editor,” without naming him, he
and his hearers knew that J. W. Jones is the Edi
tor, and lie left the impression upon the minds of the
people that he referred to him, (J. W. J.,) of course
he did not refer to W. S. Jones, to whom liis com
munication is addressed! It is, therefore, very ap
parent, from his own showing, that if he did not re
fer to the known Editor, he so spoke as to leave
that impression, and his explanation only exposes
him by bringing out the whole truth, which for rea
sons best known to himself, lie dot s not pretend to
have previously stated, either at McDonough or
elsewhere,
The Col. denies having said that we “never pub
lished the platform,” but strangely enough admits
sayiligwe were “ashamed to publish it." Verily
the Colonel is hard pressed to find a hole to escape
at. He knew we hud published it—lie says he had
often referred to it, and yet, in the faceofthis know
ledge, asst rts that we “were ashamed to do it !" A
man who is ashamed to do an act, will not perform
it. Col. Gartrell admits that \ye did publish it,
and that he knew it ! How, then, could Col. G.
assert that we “were ashamed to do it.”
In conclusion the Colonel enquires whether we
still condemn the platform ? We have no hesitation
in replying affirmatively : yet it is a better and
sounder platform that the Democratic platform, the
Kansas bill, or Mr. Buchanan’s letter of. accept
ance, with their Squatter Sovereign and Alien Suf
frage features ; and if adhered to, will afford a bet
ter guarantee to the South than either. The Demo
cratic platform, the Kansas bill, and Mr. Bu
chanan, all recognise and endorse Squatter Sove
reignty and Alien Suffrage ; apd under the Demo
cratic platform, the principle is not dented that nc
g ocs may vole and take part in lhe formation of
the institutions of Kansas; so far from this prin
ciple being denied, it is indirectly admitted and
clearly deducible. The resolution “recognizes the
right of the people of Kansas, acting through the
legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of the
actual residents to form a constitution.”
Negroes are “people," and if they are “ ac
tual residents ” of the territory, this resolution
of the Democratic platform recognises their right to
participate in the formation of a State Constitution.
Mr. Buchanan endorses the platform and Col.
Gartrell and the Southern Democracy endoise
Mr. Buchanan and the Platform. Therefore they
endorse squatter sovereignty, alien suffrage and
recognises the l ight of negro residents to vote in the
territory.
The American Platform repudiates alien suffrage
in distinct terms, and expressly deuicss the right of
suffrage to any and all persons but white male
citizens of the United States. It is therefore alto
gether preferable to the Democratic platform aud
the Kansas bill, is voi. Qakirell answered?
Four days after our condemnation of the plat
form, we were advised of the nomination aud
pomptly endorsed, expressing our determination to
support him without refererce to the platform.
Let us now turn to Col. Gartrell’s antecedents
and see whether lie advocates any measure of
which a Southern patriot should be ashamed —any
principle which he himself has denounced as
“treachery to the south'' auy measure which “pa
triotism and national honor forbid ?
Ou the Ist of July, 1848, Hon. It. Toom as made a
speech in Congress, in which he thus spoke of Gen.
Ca,»s’ squutter sovereignty
‘•This insidious proposition of Gen. Cass is not only
treachery to the South, but to the North also; it in
volves a surrender, not only of rights, but of duty,
and a surrender of both into the power and custody
of those whose history proves them to lie weak und
imbecile, pusillanimous and corrupt. The Northern
statesman equally, with the Southern, betrays his
sect ion by the adoption of this subterfuge. If his
section and mine have both claims and rights in re
ference to this territory, shall lie and I basely aban
don them to those whom his constituents and mine
have made ignominOUsly to pass under the yoke?
Shall we, the’pQinnibn representatives of a great, a
free, and a powerful people, bound together by a
common ancestry, by political brotherhood, by com
mon interests, and an indissoluble destiny, basely
distrust each other, and shriuk from the performance
of those duties which devolve upon us, and place
the rights of our constituents in such hands as these?
Patriot ism forbids it, national honor forbids it; and
if we attempt it, the twenty millions of freemen in
this greut republic, will forbid it, and drive us from
the public councils, and place their great interests
into the keeping of worthier hands and bruver
hearts.”
In August, 1848, the month after this speech was
made, and w hen ifs Eentqpents and principles were
fresh in the mind of every man, a public meeting
was held in Washington, Wilks co., in which Lu
cius J. G autreli.. the present Democratic elector,
aud supporter of the squatter sovereign candidate,
offered the following, among other resolutions, which
were adopted:
; Resolved , That we have an abiding confidence in
r our able, high-minded, and independent representa
j live, the lion. Robert Toombs, and that we highly
T j approve his course in the Congress of the United
| States, and do hereby recommend his nomination
for re-election.
) ! Resolved , That we also cheerfully and cordially
5 ! approve the nomination of Millard Fillmore, for the
j office of Vice President, because he has given abun
| dant evidence that he is a statesman of sound, con
' servative principles, always willing to abide by the
i compromises of the Constitution,
i Here is a plain and distinct endorsement of the
■ sentiment uttered by Mr. Toombs, that squatter
sovereignty was '‘‘‘treachery to the South /” and
that patriotism and national honor forbade its sup
port. and the support of Gen Cass, who advocated
the obnoxious doctrine. Col. Gartrell is now
vindicating and supporting Jas. Buchanan and the
Kansas bill—both recognize and approve squatter
sovereignty. Who then is guilty of treachery to the
South! Who supports a measure which patriotism
and national honor forbid ? Let Col. Gartrell’s
resolution answer, and we invite the public attorn
i tion to both the resolution and the extract from
Toomb s speech.
Ohio.— The Americans of Ohio are working gal
lantly and enthusiastically. Hon. Humphrey Mar
shall. of Kentucky, made a second speech at Cin
cinnati on the 3d inst.. at night. The Times says
j ot the meeting on the occasion :
! It is an admitted fact that the Fillmore meeting of
I last,night was the largest that Las been heid here by
| any party, in this city, for several years. It ex
i eeeded in i.umbers and enthusiasm even the expec
| tations of the most ardent friends of the American
J cause. The people came from almost every direc
! tion, singly, in squads, and in processions. Line
i after line, they poured into the open space with
i banners, flag*, transparencies, and bands of music.
I Shout after shout went up in every direction for
| “Fillmore, Donelson, and the Union!”
We repeat it. the peoi.e were in motion, and to
. those who fancied that there was no longer an Arne
; lican party, it most have been an undeniable evi
| dence that they were mistaken. Mr. Marshalls
speech was aii :t should have been, and spoke forth
that true American f.r ling that exists in all the
rank and file u! the American party.
! Even the opposition papers admit that the meet
ing was large. There was to be a grand demonstra
tion on Wednesday, at Columbus, the day on which
the State Convection to nominate a State
ticket. Mass meetings are also to be held all over
; the State.
Melancholy Accide nt.— The Newberry (S. C.)
I Mirror announces that on the 6th inrt. Dr. James
: R. Gilder, ot that district, while out hunting in
company with Mr Noah Martin and others, was
i killed through the explosion of Mr. Martin’s gun.
| Dr. Gilder was muon esteemed as a physician.
Mrs. Julia Dean H ayne.— The following item, !
from one of our scan Francisco exchanges, is preg
naut of meaning :
Mrs. Julia Hayne has completed her en
gagement at the Metropolitan, and would not again
appear in public until a certain interesting event
had taken plact-.

The “Indiana Fusion”—Another Falsehood
Nailed.
One of the most difficult tasks of the present can
vass, is to keep pace with and coureet the false
hotnid of the Buch an an organs and leaders. They
setout by “ libelling* their own candidate, in at
tempting to make the people of the South believe
that he actually favored the institution of slavery,
well knowing that be never uttered a sentiment or
gave a vote in its favor. On the contrary, his
whole course in and out of Congress, from 1819 to
the present day. has been one of open hostility to
the extension of the institution to any new territory.
No man who values his reputation for truth, can
deny this. If he does, the proof is abundant
Again, Southern triends “libelled" him by
publishing only a portiou of his Sanford letter.—
It was so published as to show a deliberate design,
not only to i( 7ibeF y their own candidate, but to
practice a fraud upon the people of the South. A
very few of them have been driven by the force of
public opinion, to atone for this fraud, by publishing
the whole of the Sanford letter; but not one in ten
of them have yet dared to expose to their own read
ers, the obnoxious aud auti Southern principles of
their own candidate ! Can the people of the South
have any higher evidence than this affords, of the
deliberate purpose of the BucuanaY organs and
leaders to deceive and betray them, and sacrifice
their rights ? We think uot.
A similar course has been pursued in reference to
Mr. Fillmore —they have stopped at nothing in
their attempts to traduce and misrepresent him ;
but fortunately his reputation shields him from their
malevolence and falsification, and like the viper
they “bite *a file,”
The latest, aud one of the grossest falsehoods they
have attempted to palm off upon the people of the
South, is the story that the friends df Fill more and
Fremont in Indiana, had fused, and were running
the same electoral ticket ! This was indeed a bold
statement, aud when the reader reflects that it is
false in every particular—that there is not a word
of truth in it—he can perhaps imagine what must
be the character of the party, and the desperation of
their fortunes, when driven to such resources to sus
tain their sinking cause. May we not exclaim, in
the language of the patriot Calhoun, great are
4 7. he cohesive properties of th> public plunder"
This base aud infamous falsehood made its first
appearance in the South, wo believe, iu the Nash
ville Union and American from whence it has been
most extensively copied by the Buchanan organs,
and commented on by them aud their leaders with
the greatest imaginable gusto. It was indeed a
sweet, a precious, a life-preserving morsel for them,
and they clutched it with all the desperation of a
drowning man catching at straws.
The Nashville Patriot , suspecting the fraud, cut
the article from the Union and American and en
closed it to the editor of the New Albany, Indiana,
Tribune , to which the editor made the following
reply iu his paper of the 51 h inst.
From the New Albany Tribune , Sept. 5,185 G.

The same paper (the New Albany Tribune) con
tains the following:
“Coalition retweenFillmore and Fremont.
—The Fillmore State Convention of Indiana have
just united w ith the Fremont or Black Republican
party, by nominating the same Electoral ticket for
the State. If any of our Democratic friends hare
been feeding themselves up with the hope of a division
among the American and Republican parties, upon
the State ticket , they would do well to give up that
hope as utterly futile.
“The friends of Mr. Fillmore should now'go to
work to secure a majority of the popular vote of the
State of Indiana for him; if they succeed, of which
we have no doubt, the electoral vote will be cast
for him. Let there be no clashing between the
friends of Fillmore and Fremont, because their
cause is one cause. Let the energies of the friends
of each be directed against Buchanan, and we will
have no more slave soil to curse our government.”
This, reader, is the story as it appeared in the
Nashville Union and American , and as it has been
copied by all the Buchanan organs and repeated
by the speakers. Now read the reply of the Tri
bune. Here it is:
We do not know when we have seen so many
falsehoods brought into so small a compass, and so
evidently manufactured out of whole cloth.
In the first place, there is no such paper ns the
Huntington Gazette, published in Indiana, that we
have any knowledge of. There is a paper publish
ed in that tow r n under the name of the “Indiana
Herald”—and the only paper published there. It
lias the names of Fremont and Dayton at the head
of its columns, but it has not, nor never lmd, the
Electoral ticket fished up for the occasion, by this
Teunessec editor.
Jn the second place, the New Albany Tribune
/either daily or weekly) never has had that or any
other Electoral ticket at the head of its columns.—
The ticket however is tiie genuine Fillmore Electo
ral ticket, barring changes since made, and was
published in the Tribune umoug the proceedings of
the Fillmore Convention, which met at Indianapo
lis on the lftth of July last. Since then, the ticket
has not appeared in either the Daily or Weekly
Tribune, although it appears regularly in the
“American Campaigner,” issued from the Tribune
office.
In the fluid place, the American and Republican
parties in | ndiana have not united upon the same elec
toral tiiket, or any portion thereof—although they
did unite in the May Convention, in the nomination
of what is called the “People's Ticket” for State of
ficers, and in the support of which we hope they will
be found united in October.
In the fourth place, the extracts purporting to be
taken from the Tribune, are altogether except
so much as we hay* tukea the liberty to put in
Italic , and which has special and exclusive refer
ference to the State ticket. All the balance we re
pudiate as fabricated and false.
In the fifth place, to show that the American and
Republican parties in Indiana are not supporting
the same electoral ticket, we give below the Repub
lienn Presidential ticket in full, of which not a sin
gle name will be found on the American ticket :
For President :
JOHN C. FREMONT, of Culifomia.
For Vice President :
WILLIAM L. DAYTON, of New Jersey.
Electors for the State at Large :
John A. Hendricks, of Jefferson.
Samuel W. Parker, ol Fayette.
Dis f rict Electors :
Ist District—James C. Veatch;
2d Randall Crawford;
3d “ James Y. Allison ;
4th “ John I>. Howland ;
sth “ David Kilgore;
6th “ Horace Newcomb:
7th “ William G. Coffin ;
Bth “ W. G. Wilson :
9th “ D. D. Pratt;
10th “ j. A. Mather;
llth “ Milton S. Robinson.
After such an expose as this, of a fraud so infa
mous, we feel curious to see how many Buchanan
organs aud speakers will make the amend, and in
what terms they will do it. Perhaps like the San
ford letter, neither its ghost nor public indignation,
will move many of them to tell the truth.
How Fillmore is Abused, North and South.
—Recently, in a speech delivered in Fanueil Hall,
Boston, Erastus Brooks 'took occasion to read
from Democratic papers at the South articles de
nouncing Mr. Fillmore as an abolitionist. He
did this to show how very inconsistent and ir
reconcilable these Southern denunciations are with j
the abolition ory at the North that Fillmore is a
“base tool of the slave power,*' a “dough-face,” |
ticc. Whereupon the Boston Atlas , a thorough j
abolition paper, supporting Fremont, breaks out as j
follows:
‘■What shall we say of this under-bred talk about
Fillmore’s Abo'itionism ? Mr. Brooks, without a
suspicion of carnation on his cheek, without a quake
or a quiver, dares to say to aFanueil Hall audience
that he finds in the Southern papers that Mr. Fill
more is put down as an abolitionist! We beg leave
to deny the charge. The man who signed the Fugi
tive Slave bill; the man who everywhere has de
nied the right of the people to discuss this matter of
slavery; the man who, of all men, has gone crawl
ing upcm his knees, sobbing and screaming for the
support of the slave power, is held up in Fanned
Hall as an Abolitionist! Mr. Brooks has read in
some Southern paper, (a Buchanier paper, proba
bly,) that Mr. Fillmore is an Abolitionist. Mr.
Brooks, the game will not work. We shall be after
you with the acutis of sticks, when you try that
thimblerig.
Was ever party baseness such as this heard of be
! fore? The Btston Atlas denies that Democratic
I papers at the South call Mr. Fillmore an abolition
tst! and Buchanan presses at the South wiil take
good care not to lay before their readers such de
nunciations of Mr. Fillmore at the North as that
contained in the above extract from the At las. Is
it possible that the patriotic, intelligent men of the
nation will permit its purest statesman to be hunted
down in this way ?

The'Proof at lluinlT
. H •$. *
Some days since wepnibliehed thejollowing reso
lution, introduced by flic lion. W. cJrives, of Va.,
into the United Stales Senate, on th* 11th ofJanua
ry, 1838, against which Jas. Buchanan, of Penn
sylvania, voted :
“Resolved, That any interference with the sub
ject of slavery in the Territories of the United Stales
in which it may exist, is inhibited by all the consid
erations in regard to the rights and interests of the
inhabitants oft he said Territories, the security of
the slaveholding States, and the danger to the
Union, which are mentioned iu the preceding n so
lution. as forbidding any interference with, or action
on the subject ol slavery in the District of Colum
bia; and for the further reason that'the people of
those Terri urn.e, when admitted into the Union as
States, will be exclusively entitled to decide the
question of the existence of slavery within their re
spective limits for themselves,”
Among those who voted for the resolution on a
direct vote, were John C. Calhoun, Alfred
Cu thbert, Wilson Lumpkin, aud Rives and
Roan, of Virginia.
James Buchan am voted against it on a direct
vole. As we omitted to state the day on which the
resolution was acted upou,~ the Athfeus Bane af
fected to deny the correctness of the statement, and
“called for the proof," saying it had searched
through the records of the Senate during Mr. Bu
chanan's career, arid could find no such resolution.
The inference was, therefore, very clear, in the
opinion of that journal, that it did not exist. Its
prompt effort, however, to deny it, showed that such
a vote would be unpalatable—that it was a vote
against the South, and therefore, a perfect extin
guisher to all the assertions of the Democratic or
gans and leaders, “that Mr. Buch anan never gave
a vote against the institutions of the South.”
\\ e wonder whether the Banner will publish the
resolution, aud Mr. Buchanan's vote against it; or
will it give it the go by, as the Democratic organs
have generally done with the Sanford letter. Os
that letter, they only published sufficient to deceive
and mislead the people—it was so published delibe
rately and for the purpose of deceiving. The Ban
ner was in that category. Has it ever atoned for
its attempt to deceive the people by concealing Mr.
Buchanan’s true opinions as expressed in that let
ter ? We ask for information. If it has not. we
submit to it, whether insinuations about the falsifi
cation of a record do not come with decided bad
grace from such a journal?
(liincse Sugar Cane—Siißtir Millet.
We have received from our friend, R. Peters,
Esq., of Atlanta, several canes of this new sugar
plant, which bids fair to become a very great agri
cultural acquisition.; These canes were over ten feet
high, an inch and a quarter in diameter at the base,
and abounding in juice of a pure saccharine flavor.
This juice has already, in many cases, beeu made
into an excellent syrup, and samples of good sugar
have also been obtained from it. For green or dried
forage, also, it is superior to most other plants, on
account of the large amount of nutritious juice
which it contains, adding greatly to its fattening
properties.
We copy the following article from the Fairfield
(So. Ca.) Herald. It is from the pen of Major. W.
S. Ly les, one of the most intelligent and experienced
planters of South Carolina :
Sergho Sucre, Chinese Sugar Cane or Sugar
Millet.— Mr. Editor : — I sent vou last week by
our mutual friend, Dr. U •, several joints of the
Sorgho Sucre or Chinese Sugar Cane. This is des
tined, I think, to prove one of the greatest acquisi
tions to the agricultural interests of the country,
that it has lately met with. Having planted this
year one part of tlio seed, 1 unhesitatingly pro
nounce it tar superior to either the Dourali or com
mon Millet. It is superior, because it can be cut as
often as either of the others, and is far ahead of both
in the abundance of saccharine matter, consequent
ly, is much better for fattening purposes. Its great
est value, however, consists in »ts fitness for making
sugar and syrup. From sqgqo experience made by
ex Governor Hammond, perhaps the most practical
planter iu the State, it has proved almost, if not
quite, equal to the sugar-cane itself. From a Texas
paper 1 also learn that it is there supposed to con
tain the juice, in a more highly cor ceqtrated form
than the common eune of the eouutry. If this be so
it places it iu the power of every planter to manu
facture his own sugar and syrup at home. For this
purpose the machinery cannot cost more than one
hundred dollars.
From a calculation based upon Governor Ham
mond’s experiments, Rfter making ample allowance
for probable error, the amount ut syrup from each
acre, cannot be less than one hundred and forty gal
lons. This, at fifty cents per gallon, will yie.d S7O.
What business will yield as much ?
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, l veutqre upon the pre
diction that in less t(igu fen years sugar and syruff
enough will be made iu South Carolina, from the
Sugar Millet, or Sorgho Sucre, to supply the home
demand. Indeed, L would uot be surprised if South
Carolina became u sugar-growing instead of cotton
raising State.
I have this year saved about two bushels of seed,
a portion of which 1 propose distributing among the
members of your Agricultural Society at its next
meeting.
As it is a matter of general interest, will you be
kind enough to publish in your columns the report
of Governor Hammond upon this subject.
Mr. Peters writes us that he has a new and im
proved sqgar mill in operation j and that we may
look for a sample of syrup from this cane soon. We
shall be happy to receive it and bring it to the no
tice of the public, as we believe the Chinese Sugar
Cane to be a plant of the greatest value to the
country at large, and especially those portions of
the South where the Louisiana cane will not sue
ceed.
We have also on file a very able report from Gov.
Hammond, of So. Ca., which we will endeavor to
find room for soon.
Why Mr. Breckinridge is on the Stump.
The universal disgust that has been excited
among intelligent men, by that pert young man,
John C. Breckinridge, the Democratic candi
date for the Vice Presidency, taking the slump in
the West, will be iu some degree mitigated when
we explain the probable causes which have com
pelled him to lake this unwire step. It is well
known that the solo moive which induced the Cin
cinnati Convention to make this choice was the de
lusion that, Mr. Breckinrige could carry Kentucky
for the Democracy. This delusion has long since
been abandoned. Kentucky will almost certainly
record her vote for Mr. Fillmore. The reason
then which led to Mr. Breckinridge being thrust
before the public cannot be made of any avail; but
as Democracy always uses its agents in one way or
another, an immense amount of scheming has ended
in Mr. Breckinridge being brought forward in u
new character.
Calculations even unduly favorable have con
stantly been made by the Democratic leaders which
for some weeks past have given but the one result
viz : that James Buchanan could neither be elect
ed by the people or the House of Representatives.
The Domncracy have waited anxiously hoping that
some re-action might take place; but fall in vain.—
Buchanan Ims continued to sink lower and lower
in public esteem. The only Free State that they
felt confident of gaining is now thought to be repu
diating the old gentleman whom his partisans have
delighted in calling her favoriteson, and in the South
Mr. Fillmore’s name, known everywhere to be
constantly enlarging its influence, has fairly appall
ed them. Hence the belief that Mr. Buchanan can
be elected President is now rapidly being abandon
ed by the better informed.
While Buchanan will still remain the nominal
Presidential candidate, Breckinridge will virtually
be the man, as he is the last faint hope t f his
party. It is in this position, we have uot the shadow
of a doubt, that he comes before the people of the
West. There Buchanan, from the first, has been
viewed as an old fogy, and «it is the j)oli;.y of the
Democrats to introduce Breckinridge as a bold
young man, neutral on the subject of slavery , but
enthusiastic in praise of squatter-sovereignty. By
this means they hope to secure so lerge a vote for
Breckinridge, that in the event of Mr. Fillmore
or Col. Fremont failing to be elected by the popu
lar vote or the Hou.je ol Representatives, Mr.
Breckinridge may be chosen by the Democratic
Senate.
Mr. Breckinridge, in his speech at Tippecanoe
Battle Ground, on the 3d instant, as reported in the
Democratic Louisville Courier , said : “/ am. con
nected with no party (hat has for its object the. ex
tension of slavery, nor arty to prevent the people of a
State or Territory from deciding the qiiestjo& of
its existence or ncn-esis/£j\c? with them fur them
selves.” Southern men should ponder on these
words, and see that they are not given bound hand
and foot to the enemy. Neutral on slavery exten
sion, but warm on squatter sovereignty, can only
lead to Free Kansas. Where is the “great and only
pro slavery party’’under its new leader, John C.
Breckinridge? is a man so like in complex
ion to John C. Fremont worthy of Southern sup
port ?

She recently wrote as follows to her father :
West Port, Miss., Aug. 17, 1856.
My Dear Father:—l am in great trouble. I
have been obliged to fly from mv home to save my
life. Our house was surrounded yesterday mor
ning by five hundred Abolitionists—our property
destroyed and our all taken. The property of
every pro slavery man in Douglas county destroyed
and the prisoners taken from the United States
troops.
i I Lave just learned that my husband is a prisoner

August 19. 1856.
My Dear Father :—l have just arrived in Le
compton with my husband. He has been released
by an exchange of prisoners, Five hundred men
: attacked the nouse ; Mr. Titus having only ten men
in the house with him at the time the attack was
made. He fought them two hours, and did not
surrender until they had fired six cannon balld into
the house. He was shot in the breast with a
Sharp’s Rifle—the ball still remains in his breast.—
his right thumb was shot off, besides other ..light
wounds. The Abolitionists stole everything we
had—even my dresses. Mr. Titus is left without
shoes or hat. They tore up the floor in order to
find rne, but I made my escape to Westport.
Kansas Report-. —Gen. P. F. Smith, in one of
the recently published despatches, very clearly
indicates the source from which a portion of the
exaggerated Kansas reports emenates. Writing
to hia Excellency Gov. Shakon, he pointedly says ;
“After the many false reports that have been
brought here under the sanction of the civil officers
in the country, I can place no more reliance on such
information, and will only act on official reports from
officers or intelligence from persons I know perso
nally to be reliable; and, as my own action and re
sponsibility are to depend on the value of all such
information as to its truth, I must have it before me
before I can judge of the confidence to be placed in

Wf have already noticed tbe fyt that Mr* I
Breckinridge, the Cincinnati nominee for the 1
Viue IY‘sidenoy, had'mounted the stamp. Tie,
General Cass, and John Van Burk*, all made
speeches at a inass meeting, lu-ld at Tippecanoe
Buttle Ground on Wednesday, the 3d instant, when
Mr. BkuckinrVdge took open ground for--Sqmitter
Sovereignty, ns appears by the following extract
taken from tho sketch made by the Louisville
I Courier, a zealous Buchanan organ :
‘•The speakef had heard it charged that the fif
teen slave States were conspiring to obtain entire 1
possession ot the General Government, with a view
of blinking its powers mbenr u> extend and per
petuate their “peculiar institutions.!* Gentlemen,

-Tnespeaker continued. 1 happened to be in Con-'

viz .- It acknowledged right oftiip people of the
Territory to setil- the question for themselves, and
not because 1 supposed, whnt I do Hos now belie vi‘,
timt'it legislated slavery into the Terri fury. The
Peiiiocratiqparty is not a pro-slavery party—is
neither pro-alnvbry nor anti-slavery. *
“Mr. Breckinridge here declares that by iacoh

people of a State or Terri'bry from deoidivg tor
themselves whether shivery shall, or shall not,, lu*
introduced into the Territory, and that he voted for
the Kansas Nebraska bill because it acknowledged
the right of the people of the Territory to settle
the question of ibe admission or prohibition ot
slavery for themselves. That's Squatter riori;>\ign
ty !
“Gen. Cass who' congratulated the,Senate on ‘the
triumph of Squatter Sovereignty 1 on the occasion
of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, was
the next speaker after Mr.. Breckinridge, but of
his speech we have as yet seen no notice. If it Te
published, we undertake to predict, says the. Nash
ville Tanner, that the Kansas Nebraska bill uill he
highly commended, because it recognizes the jdo'c
drlue (IT Squatter Sovereignty.
“Os John Van Burkn*s speech also, wo l ave as
yet seeu no report. If published, we venture to
predict it will contain no retraction or withdrawal
of any anti-slavery sentiment he over uttered—
no retraction or withdrawal of any thing contained
in the following extracts from tho Address, which
he prepared and presented for adoption, of tin- Ra~-
dieal Democracy of New York, assembled in State
Convention at Utica, in February, 18JS. In that
Address he says
“ Thirdly , The Democracy of New-York do now

uent, successful and time-honored policy shatl he
applied to them. 1 *
\\ o have italiciped one of the clauses, ns also cue
iu the following extract from the same Address :
“ llt 10 dciiiaiul of the cUizcnts of this great State
that after We have, by se&somible action mid what
was at the time, though erroneously, regarded as a
great bacrihce, succeeded in abolishing Slavery
irom its borders, they should at this day, in tile mid
dle of the nineteenth ceutury, iu full view* of the
improved opinion of almost all mankind upon the
subject—of the inestimable and incalculable advan
tage in the increase and prosperity of our State, in no
small degree attributable to t his very exemption—'
make themselves parties, cither eupretm/y or rir
ti/uffy, by action or inaction , to the original in
stitution of Slavery by force in Territories which
are now exempt from it, is most unreasonable in
deed.”
Further ou in the same Address ho says :
‘‘Nor is it true iu any sense that we are introdu
cing any new principle. The principle of resistance
to the institution of Slavery is as old us Iho principle
of the existance of man. There is not, a human be
ing, whatever he may say, whatever may be his lo
cal or sectional prejudices, that does not know or at
knowledge that the traffic in human th sh is a dis
grace to any people claiming any particle oi civili
zation or Christianity. The Address 1 had the honor
to report goes ou to show that this common princi
ple of Humanity has been the acknowledged rule of
action of the Republican party of the Union .until a
very recent time. That while the Democracy of
lids State, under the lead of the patriot Tompkins,
decided to abolish Slavery as an evil and degracc
to the State, the patriots of the South heartily and
cheerfully united with them iu all measures which
had the limitation of Slavery for their object ami the
melioration of that institution tor their end. It has,
however, suited the purposes of politicians of the
present day to set. up anew test, and todeclure that
this great principle shall be abandoned at the ap
proaching Presidential Election, and they calculate
on tiie love of office to sway the Republicans of tlf s
State, and to secure, by the exercise of the patron*
ag-.i ofthe Federal Government a majority in the
National Convention, who will nominute a undi
date in accordance with their views.”
Here is another “elegant extract” from the same
Address :
"Now l am free to say for myself, and ns I have
already said to t lie members of this Convent ion, 1
say so with the more freedom because it is of no
kind of consequence what my action may be, that I
have never entertained but one opinion in regard to
the traffic iu human flesh, and buying and selling
live bodies ; ami that is an unqualified aversion and
disgust for it; and while 1 would give to those States
where it exists the security which the Constitution
has given to it, the moment they step an inch be
yond this, they attract the public attention and in
vite a discussion of the evils of slavery. They do
so unwisely, and I regret it; but wheu they do so,
the free white people of this State will discuss and
condemn it. The idea of marching in the Ifitlr cen
tury, with the immense power of this free Republic,
upon an enfeebled and half-civilized people and
forcing upon them the institution of slavery which
they reject, and make it a fundamental article of a
treaty of peace that; they shall be guarded u' ainst,
is so repugnant to my sense of what is due not
merely to the superior magnitude end strength of
our own country but so disgraceful to our free insti
tutions, and so pregnant with evil to the people of
both countries, that, if I could be satisfied that this
war is prosecuted to plant human Slavery in Mexi
co, devoted though I am to t lie glory, honor, weifnr.
and progress of these United States in every breath
of my life, in every fiber of my system, so help me
God, i would join the Mexicans to-morrow in resist
ing such oppression. [Applause.] Not only this,
but 1 would pledge myself to recruit among the
freemen of this State armies, while the Kingdom of
Polkdom was recruiting single men.”
“Further in the same Address this Democratic Tip
pecanoe orator and warm supporter of Mr. Bu
chanan, after speakiug of the time and labor requir
ed to make the people fully comprehend the nature
and bearings of questions of trade and finance,
said
“But go to them on a question about buying and
selling a body, a question which overrides all legis
lative or executive grants of power, or discussion as
to their true boundaries, all questions of local intci
rests, and comes down to the huumn being himself,
if you con not make the People belter r that, it, in Ue
mnvratic to resist the extension cf llu-man Slavery,
it is better to abandon politics and adopt some other
mode of serving you r Jclloxc-mcnP
‘•ln a speech made in the city of New York, during
the campaign of 1818, he declared that he would
‘draw a cordon of free States about the South lie
would “light the tires of Freedom all around them*'
—and that the doughfaces would find ‘that the
whip held over their backs wus In the hadds of the
Freemen of the North.* n
“Jn the same speech, h declared that the doctrine
of restricting Slavery by the action of Congre: ;
‘had been sanctified by every administration from
Washington down to Polk—and that wus about as
far down as you could get.* ”
“It is in perfect consistency with those recorded
sentences on the subject of slavery that Jons Van
Buk£n now supports Mr. Buchanan on the com
mon ground of squatter sovereignty. In the
course of a speech made by him ill the city
of Now York, in which lie gave in his cordial
adhesion to the Cincinniti platform apd nominees,
he said
“I am told that, in looking at the resolutions of
that convention, they have been able to discover
that they pledge the Democratic organization to the
extension of slavery to free territory. I have read
these resolutions carefully, and, with what little in
telligence I Imve been able to apply to them, 1
can find no such thing in them. I offer a rewrrd
now, to any of these highly intcllicnt Republican
gentlemen, to point me—not to an outrage in Kan
sas, not to a scuffle in Washington, not to an ini
proper newspaper article, but to a line or sentence
in the Cincinnati resolutions which advocates or
encourages the extension of slavery to free terri
tory."
In the same speech he further says :
“You are well aware that as a national publicity
is given to my remarks, when I speak in this con
fidential way, [laughter,! it is quite as well 1
should say what would not injure Air. Buchanan at
the South, and what would not injure Him id the
North, and, therefore, in the present state of the
subject, Ido not deem it necessary lo consul x thu
question whether it would make a olave or a free
State.’ 1
Further on in the same speech he says :
“I think proper to say, that, while I greatly disap
prove the repeal of the prohibition of slavery i.: that
Territory, yet as a constitutional act, Congress hud
a right to repeal it, if they chose so to do. They
had the power to doit. There were not 100 people
in the territory when it was done. They threw
open tiie settlement of the great Territories of Kan -
sas and Nebraska, and there are now some 10,000<>
50,000 people there, invited under a constitutional
act, to exercise the right of self-government. The
people who are there are the people who arc to de
termine the destinies of that. State. 7 'hey have a
right to do it under the Kansas ac*, and they ho re
a right to do it independent of the Kansas act , per
haps.
The people of Kansas, he says, have the right
Uow, while in a territorial condition, to exclnd;
or admit slavery as they may choose.
