fectly. Useless to talk about making the

up their old party ties and sectional preju
dices, and rally around it with all their
strength, and all their patriotism. It is
w orse than futile to suppose that the old par

its own strength, and still think to compter .
the enemies of the Con.-titution. .suih 'a ,
policy if pursued would inevitably weaken
the force of the Compromise and strengthen
that of its enemies. Ihen if the t.onven

meet at I'altimore, shall openly repudiate
the Compromise, let us run Mr. Fillmore or

if we cannot elect our man, we can but do
