FILLMORE, against whom they produce
him as a witness. Let us appeal to the re

Peace Treaty, Wednesday, March ,
the following occurs:
" Ou motion by Mr. Baldwin to insert at
the end of the fiiftb. article the following
words, to wit :
" J'roi-i'M, That there shall be neither
slavery nur involuntary servitude in the
territories hereby ceded, otherwise than in
the punishment of crimes, whereof the par
ty thall have been duly convicted."
After debate, the question was stated,

and we subjoin its concluding passages :

was wise to sink himself behind bis plat

the speaker read Buchanan's speech in ae
oeptauoe of tho nomination.) lie says the
platform is "broad and national enough for
the whole Democratic party," not for Whigs.
(A laugh.) Mr. Preston, of Louisvill", with
the Whig shell yet sticking to his head, had
already got so high up among the Demo
