With regard to Mr. Fillmore I will say, I am equally as good an abolitionist as he is; Congress has iio tight to interfere with slavery— it is a peculiar institution of the South— and 1 would like to sec every slave emancipated ifiicanbcdonc without de triment to the territory in which slavery exists. Mr. Fillmore is a gentleman, 1 know him personally and speak confi dently. I have ever entertained a peculiar dislike to Executive Usurpation, and as l have a chance lo slip oil from the De mocratic party lean do so now and thus free uiysclf from that party who have no more respect for the interests of the people than my dog Curio. I pledge you my word,Gentleraen,lhalIhad been a hoi advocate of James K. Polk, os well as of’Martin Van Burcn in 1S40, when I first deposited a vote, but I can not support Lewis Cass for three prin cipal reasons— ~ 1st. “His administration would be : continuance of tho insults which are being iofliclcd on the people by the pre sent dynasty. 2d. He is opjioscd ** in toto” to slavery and would have voted for the proviso of Davy Wilmot, had he had a chance, of which fact wc nrc assured. 3d. He is opjioscd to the letter and spirit of the resolutions adopted in the Virginia Democratic Convention, iu whose deliberations I took particul interest. From the first moment 1 heard of his nomination till the present time,— and a further lapse of time will make it stronger—I had always made it my duty to scorn his name when it is mentioned. He is n sycophant, acoinjdctc humbug of a Democrat, and 1 would vote for any good, honest, constitutional Whig, in preference to such an apology for a man of honesty as he is—4 will certain ly* vole for Gen.
