Fillmore’s Record. The, Record of Millard Fillmore, the Know Nothing Candidate for the Fresidency. From among tlie candidates for the Presi dency, there are two who will receive the votes of Southern men, James Buchanan, the candi date of the Democracy, and Millard Fillmore, the nominee of the Southern fragment ?f the Know Nothing Order. Premising that to the people of the South the slavery question is the paramount issue of the canvass, and that Mr. Buchanan occupies a Platform whose guarantee come fully up to the requirements of the most ultra and exact ing pro-slavery man, and that his record is without blemish, we will proceed to examine the record of Mr. Fillmore, and to prove by indisputable and undeniable facts* from official sources, that in this great emergency, while his platform is admitted to be insufficient by many of his Southern supporters, he himself is not fit to be trusted by Southern men of either party. His record we will bring down from the commencement of his political career to his letter accepting the nomination of the frag mentary portion of the Order, of which he is a sworn member : Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1838. Mr. Atherton rose and asked leave to sub mit the following resolutions : Resolved, That this government is a govern ment of limited powers, and that by the Con stitution of the United States, Congress has no jurisdiction whatever over the institution of slavery in the several States of the Confedera cy. Resolved, That petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and the Territories of the United States, and against the removal of slaves from one State to anoth er, are a part of a plan of operations set on foot to effect the institution of slavery in the several States, and thus indirectly to destroy that institution within their limits. Resolved, That Congress has no right to da that indirectly which it cannot do directly ; and that the agitation of the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or the Territories, as a means, and with the view, of disturbing or overthrowing that institution in the several States, is against the true spirit and meaning of the Constitution, an infringement of the rights of the States effected, and a breach of the public faith upon which they entered into the Confederacy. Resolved, That the Constitution rests on the broad principle of equality among the members of this Confederacy, and that Congress, in the exercise of its acknowledged power, has no right to discriminate between the institutions of one portion of the States and anothen with the view of abolishing the one and promoting the other. Resolved therefore, That all attempts on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia or the Territories, or to pro hibit the removal of slaves from State to State, or discriminate between the institutions of one portion of the Confederacy and another, with the views aforesaid, are in violation of the Con stitution, destructive of the fundamental prin ciple on which the Union of these States rests, and beyond the jurisdiction of Congress ; and that every petition, memorial, resolution, pro position or paper, touching or relating in any way, or to any extent whatever to slavery, as aforesaid, or the abolition thereof, shall, on the presentation thereof, without any further ac tion thereon, be laid upon the table, without being debated, printed or referred. The introduction of the resolutions being ob jected to at this time— Mr. Atherton thereupon moved a suspension of the rules. Mr. Adams and Mr. Cushman simultaneous ly demanded the yeas and nays ; which, being ordered, were yeas 137, nays 06, as follows: Yeas. —Messrs. Anderson, Andrews, Ather ton, Banks, Beatty, Beers, Beirne, Bicknell, Birdsall, Broadhcad, Buchanan, Bynum, John Calhoun, Camberleng, Wm B‘Campbell, John Campbell, Carter, Chambers, Cheatham, Clow ney, Coles Conner, Clabb, Craig, Crockett, Clary, Cushman, Date son, Deberry, DeGraff, Dromgoole, Elmore, Farrington, Fairfield, Fry, Foster, Gallup, James Garland, Bice Garland, Glascock, James Graham, Grantland, Grant, Gray, Griffin, Hammond, Hame, Harlan, Har rison, Haws, Hawkins, Holt, Haynes, Holsey, Howard, Ilubley, Wm H Hunter, R M T Turner, T B Jackson, Jabez Jackson, Joseph Johnson, Henry Johnson, Wm C Johnson, N Jones, John W Jones, Keim,Kemble,-K1 ingen smith, Lewis, Logan, Loomis, Lyon, Mallory, Martin, May, McKay, Robert McClellan, A McClellan, McClure, McKennan, Menefee, Mercer, Miller, Montgomery, Moore, Morgan, S W Morris, Murray, Noble, Palmer, Parker, Paynter, Pearce, Peunybacker, Petrikin, Pick ens, Phelps, Plumer, Pope, Pratt, Riley, Ilhett, Rencher, Rives, Robertson, Rumsey, Charles Shepperd, A H Shepperd, Shields, Sheplor, Snyder, Southgate, Spencer, Stanley, Stuart, Stone, Swearingen, Taliaferro, Thomas, Tay lor, Titus, Toucy, Towns, Turney, Underwood, Veil, Wagener, Webster, Weeks, John White, Whittlesy, Sherrod Williams, J W.

So the rules were suspended. [By the above vote it will be seen that Mil lard Fillmore voted with such unquestioned Abolitionists as Joshua R. Giddings, John Q. Adams, Thomas Corwin, and others, and in opposition to the members from Georgia, as well as the entire South.] The question was taken on the first resolu tion, and it was adopted—yeas 198, nays 6. The question on the second resolution was then taken, and it was adopted—yeas 186, nays 65—Fillmore voting in the negative. The third resolution was then read, when Mr. Bond called for a division of the qifes tion, so as to take the vote first on the follow ing branch only-: Resolved, That Congress has no right to do that indirectly which it cannot do directly. The vote being so taken, resulted in the af? firmative —yeas 173, nays 30—Fillmore in the negative. So the first branch of the third resolution was adopted. The second branch being read, The question was then taken, and resulted also in the affimative—yeas 164, nays 40 — Fillmore again la the negative. So the third resolution was adopted, and the fourth was taken up. Mr. Lincoln called for a division of the ques tion on this’resolution, so as to take it first on the following branch : Resolved, the Constitution rests on the broad principle of equality among the members of this Confederacy. Such a division being accordingly ordered, the vote thereon resulted affirmatively—yeas 180, nays 26—Fillmore in the affirmative. The second branch of this resolution was al so agreed to —yeas 174, nays 24 —Fillmore in the negative. Mr. Randolph called for a division at the word “Congress,” in the sth line of the sth re solution, which was ordered. The first branch of the proposition was adopted—yeas 146, nays 52—Fillmore in the negative. Mr. Potts moved to lay the second branch on the table, on which motion, Mr. Craig demanded the yeas and nays, which being ordered, were—yeas 85, nays 129 —Fillmore in the affirmative. So the motion to lay on the table was de cided in the negative. The second branch of the last proposition was then agreed to —yeas 126, nays 78—Fill more in the negative. [See Congressional Globe, page 27, 28 ; House Journal, page 51 to 64 inclusive.] Mr. Bynum, the champion of the Democra cy from North Carolina, in defending the above resolutions, said, “I pray every Southern man to examine these resolutions ; read them over and over again, one by one, and to say if they were not sufficiently strong to secure every Southern interest, while they particularly fore bore to encroach on the rights of any other portion of the Union.” Yet Mr. Fillmore voted against all these re solutions except the first, anil the first branch of the fourth. On the 13th of December, Mr. Wise asked leave to submit the following resolutions, as propositions containing his sentiments, and what lie believed to be the real sentiments of the whole South : 1. Resolved, That Congress has no power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, or in the Territories of the United States, wheth er such power in the said District be exercised “as a means, dr xcith the view of disturbing and overthrowing slavery in the States ” or not. 2. Resolved, That Congress has no power to abolish the slave trade, or prohibit the removal of slaves between the States and the District of Columbia or Territories of the United States. 3. Resolved, That Congress cannot receive or consider petitions for the exercise of any power whatever over the subject of slavery which Congress does not possess. 4. Resolved, That the laws of Congress alone govern in prescribing and regulating the mode and manner in which fugitive slaves shall be apprehended, and their rights to freedom held in the non-slaveholding States, District of Co lumbia and Territories; and the mode and man ner in which they shall be restored or delivered to their owners in the slave States. 5. Resolved, That Congress has no power to impose upon any State the Abolition of sla very in its limits, as a condition of admission in to the Union. 6. Resolved, That the citizens of the slave holding States of this Union have the constitu tional right voluntarily to take their slaves to or through a non-slaveholding State, and to so journ or remain temporarily with such slaves in the same, and the slaves .are not thereby ip so facto emancipated; and the General Gov ernment is constitutionally bound to protect the rights of slaveholding States; and the laws of non-slaveholding States in conflict with the laws of Congress providing such protection, are null and void. Several members said, “object to them.” Mr. Rives did so, and Mr. Wise moved a suspension of the rules calling for the yeas and nays; which being ordered, were, yeas 118, nays 96, Fillmore in the negative. [See Con gressional Globe, page 33, House Journal, 74. So the motion to suspend was decided in the negative. On the same day Mr. Slade asked leave to submit the following : Whereas, there exists, and is carried on be tween the ports in the District of Columbia and other ports of the United States, and under the sanction of the laws thereof, a trade in human beings whereby thousands of them are annual ly sold and transported from said District to distant parts of the country, in vessels belong ing to citizens of the United States; and, where as, such trade involves an outrageous violation of human rights, is a disgrace to the country | by whose laws it is sanctioned, and calls for the immediate interpretation of legislative authori ty for its suppression; therefore, to the end that all obstacles to the consideration of this subject ; may be removed, and a remedy for the evil speedily removed. i Resolved, That so much of the fifth of the resolutions on the subject of shivery, passed by ’ this House on the J. Ith and 12tli of this month as relates to the “removal of slaves from State i to State,” and prohibits the action of the House on “every petition, memorial, .resolution, pro position or paper touching’? the same, be, and hereby rescinded. •Objections being made, Mr. S. moved a sus pension of the rules, and demanded the yeas, and nays; which, being ordered, were yeas, 55, nays 157; Fillmore voting in the affirmative. So the House refused to suspend the rules. [See Congressional Globe, page 99, House Jour nal, page 75. Oil the* 31st December, 1839, first session, | 26th Congress, Mr. Coles moved a suspension of the rules for the purpose of offering the fol lowing resolution. Resolved, That every petition, memorial, resolution, proposition or paper, touching or re lating in any way, or to any extent whatever, to the abolition of slavery in the States of this Union, or either of them, or in the District of Columbia, or in the Territories of the United States, or either of them, or the removal of slaves from one State to another, shall, on the presentation thereof, without any further action thereon, be laid upon without being debated, printed, or referred. Upon which the yeas and nays were called; and were, yeas 87, nays 84; Mr. Fillmore in the negative. [See Congressional Globe, page 93; House Journal, page 153. On the 13th of January, 1840, Mr. Lincoln, of Massachusetts, presented petitions praying for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia, and in the Territo ries of the United States. Mr. Cave Johnson moved to lay the ques tion of reception on the table, which was deci ded in the affirmative; yeas 131, nays, 88. Mr. Fillmore voting in the negative. [See Con gressional Globe, page 119; House Journal, page 204. In relation to the presentation of such peti tions, Mr. Bynum, of North Carolina, in a speech made by him, referred the Southern men to the source from whence those Abolition pe titions came; nine-tenths of which, by reference to the clerk’s files, had been presented to that nouse by Whigs of the North. Mr. B. said if there was any doubt in the minds of Southern people as to who were and who were not Abolitionists in that House, they need only refer to the speeches and the votes of its members. If they wanted further evi dence, he would refer them to the remarks of a certain member of this House who/diaracter ized the Northern Democrats—who usually vote for preserving the constitutional obliga tions imposed on them, and who are opposed to an interference with the rights of the South —as “Southern slaves.” He would refer them to the remark made by a certain Abolitionist of the House, [Mr. Peck,)when the vote was about being taken on laying Mr. Cole’s resolu tion on the table, “now come up you Southern slaves and show yourselves.” Yes sir, this was the language applied to these patriotic high minded men, who regard their constitutional obligations to the South, who are for giving quiet to the North on this exciting subject, and for preventing a servile and dessolating war. On all occasions upon this subject, we find Mr. Fillmore voting with Mr. Peck. On the 14th, Mr. Thompson, of South Car lina, moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to offer the following resolution : Resolved, That upon the presentation of any memorial or petition praying for the abolition of slavery or the slave trade in any District, Territory or State of the Union, and upon the presentation of any resolution or paper, shall be considered as objected to, and the question of its reception shall be laid upon the table with out debate, or further action thereon. The question was taken on the motion to suspend the rules, and the negative; yeas 123; nays 77; there not doing two-thirds voting in the affirmative. Fillmore in the neg ative. [See Congressional Globe, page 121; House Journal, page 206. [TO BE CONTINUED.] [From the Constitutionalist.] Tlc Philadelphia Nominations— llow received I>y Southern Know Nothings. We have heretofore published protests and repudiations of the action of the Know Noth ing Convention at Philadelphia, from various Southern men of that party. Enough has been made apparent to- prevent even the most hope ful among that organization at the South, from indulging very flattering anticipations. Tho’ we occasionally see notices of a “Great Ratifi cation Meeting,” “Grand Demonstration,” “Enthusiastic Rally,” “The People Moving,” &c.; these flaming announcements deceive no body. Never was there a movement aspiring to be national, or assuming for a purpose the garb of nationality so poorly encouraged, so faintly cheered, so gingerly praised even by its professed friends. At the South, it has the most comfortless of prospects. It has come but to distract the Councils and confuse the ranks of the Know Nothings. It will result in their utter disorganization. That party, like a disabled ship, that after drifting about helplessly and hopelessly, having lost its reckoning has split on a rock in trying to find an anchorage. It is fast going to piec es. The names of Fillmore and Donaldson have no potency in keeping the fragments to gether. The latest pieces ‘of the wreck that have floated by, come from the direction of Alaba ma. They are furnished by the Alabama State Sentinel, in a letter of two non-attending dele gates to the Philadelphia Convention, Mr. Alex. White and Mr. George I). Shortridge. We extract the first portion to show what is thought by them of the character of the craft on which the political fortunes of Fillmore and Donaldson are embarked. Letter from Alex. YVliite and Judge Shortridge. Mr. Hardy .-—Being, one of us a member of the late State Convention of the American party (of Alabama) at Montgomery, and the other having publicly ratified and approved the action of that convention since the adjournment, and being both of us delegates appointed by that convention to the National Convention of the American payty, we deem it a duty to make public our views in reference to the Con vention and its proceedings lately assembled in Philadelphia. By a resolution of the Montgomery Conven tion the Hon. Percy Walker and Wm. 11. Smith were appointed delegates to represent the American party of Alabama in the contem plated National Convention of the 22d Feb., and were instructed to exert all their influence to postpone the Convention for nominating a President and Vice President of the United States till the 4th of July next. This particular and earnest request of the Convention grew out of the wish and belief of its members, that a full and entire representa tion of the American party of the United JcHtis— s2,oo, In States could be had in the National convention in July, and the fear that neither, could be had in February, The result has justified the ap prehensions. The Convention of the 30th, (or the two Conventions as nominally designated,) met, refused to adjourn till July, adopted a new Platform and nominated candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. In this Con vention Georgia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas were not Rep resented at all, and Virginia by six, Missouri four, Louisania four, Arkansas two, and Flori da one delegate. The States of New York and Pennsylvania together had more delegates in the convention than the whole South. The platform of principles which i.-ymt forth by this Convention is the platform of the Amer ican party of the United States, ignores the question of slavery. It no where mentions it.— It does not leave plausible ground for a belief that it is the design or wish of the party to up hold the rights of the slaveholding States in our territories, and leaves it a debatable ques tion whether it will protect it where it exists. Descending from, the high ‘national ground ta ken by the American party in June, it plants itself upon a sectional platform, which does not even design to resort to the equivocal to temper to the South its contemptuous disregard of her Constitutional rights, or palliate the cold in difference with which it is proposed to offer her up an unresisting sacrifice to the Moloch of members. There was a moral sublimity in the position taken by the American party in June which is only equalled by the moral debatement of the Convention of February, at Philadelphia. Our position, then, was impregnable, and firm as the surge-beaten rock, for it was founded, upon justice, equality, and truth. It. commanded respect even where it did not receive assent. — It 101 l graceful as the light of Heaven upon the ungenerous wound and prejudices itself was fast dissolving beneath its happy influences.— It was a splended example of noble action and patriotic devotion— a national party, a national ‘platform . Loosing themselves from all party bonds, suppressing all sectional feeling, then planted themselves upon the Constitution and the Union, and gave the South, beset as she was by foes at home and enemies abroad,, the assurance that this great national party would’ throw around her the a?gis of its strength. Now the picture is reversed and another face is presented, which looks alone to the North.’ The party which first became a truly national party, now becomes a Northern sectional party and must soon degenerate into a fusion with the fanatics who have stood the tempest be neath whose force the Convention of the 22d of February was prostrated. . What can be done, by us as Americans and. as Southerners, willing and resolute, to main tain the rights of the land which gave us birth, and preserve the honor and welfare of our country ? Can we follow, can we taint the air of a Southern land by flinging to its embrace a banner which dare proclaim no southern rights ? Insult our people by advocating l>c fore them the claims of men who will not, who dare not say to them “that we will protect you from the assaults of the abolitionsts ? Say to them that we will thus give the go-by to prin ciple sacred as freedom and valuable as life to to the people of the South ? And this for what ? That we may secure a temporary and transient success, and which must recoil upon us with crushing and deadly force. “If it would not be deemed presumptuous., we would suggest that there is yet hope for the American party. That by holding a Na tional Convention in July, and taking strong emphatic constitutional grounds, and selecting national men for our candidates, we can pre serve the integrity of our government, and the safety of our people. The virtue of Americans is yet uncorrupted, their patriotism is yet un shaken, and an appeal to them in this dark hour of the Republic will not be in vain.” The great obstacle to the realization of this hope is the want of material sufficient to form a national party, at all respectable in members. That there are many Know Nothings in , the country whose virtue is incorporated, and whose patriotism is unshaken, and unquestionably true. Especially in’ the South is there a large and highly respectable body of citizens who deserve this description But they cannot pre sent a platform on which they would lie willing to place the interests and honor of. their, own section, which will rally to it any efficient support from their Northern sympathizers.— The experience of the past year, and especially of this late Philadelphia Convention, abundant ly prove this. This Northern Know Nothings agree with them in their peculiar tenets, with reference to Roman Catholics and foreigners, but agree with them in nothing else, live Southern Democrats oppose these tenets, but agree with them in most essential points of di rect practical importance at this time to the South The Northern and Southern Demo crats can come together in harmony of opin ion upon these points, and stand upon a com mon platform. If that does not offer a nation al organization, in which Southern men can unite, there is no other which can preserve the integrity of our government and the safety of our people. Let them give the democratic party a trial, and give it their aid and influence these ends. If it fails, it will be a matter of small moment, what becomes of the peculiar issues raised by Know Nothiugism in our coun try. 1f it succeed, and the perilous storms of the present juncture are safely weathered, then’ the South cah bettor spare time and thoughts to the foreign immigration and Roman Cathol ic questions. Judge Ormond, of Alabam. After the conclusion ot a speech by Mr. Yan cy, at Tuscaloosa, last week, Judge Ormond aroso and declared himself for Buchanan. The Judge was fomerly on the Supreme Court Bench of Alabama* The Tuscaloosa Mohtiot It. N , says: 1 He has been a veteran Whig, and it was a matter of astonisKmeuit to many that he Could desert Fillmore whom he once so cordially sup ported. We, ourself, had been “surprised atitf bit we no longer felt so when We heard the Judge proudly announce that he believed that Filmore himself would soon decline the race, and come out in favor of Buchanan ! The gist of the Judge's arrangement was “sectional issues,” “South in danger,” “Buchanan the only safety“ Filmore not available,” No. 15.
