FILLMOKE AND FREMONT.
Men of ; 11 j arties iu the South admit that
tlie pOsitioir ojf the fcrttepuoliitans is one of
deadly hostility to the South and in opertalTJ
direct opoition"to every constitutional guar
antee which looks to popular sovereignty and
State equalit It is admitted by all parties
South that, in the event of the success of
black republicanism, our glorious Union , cou
secrateMy the blood of patriots and the wis
dom? of Stiges, cannot exist: Their principles
are at war with the dearest rights of the eouth;
em Slates, because they declare that we are
not equals; slaveholders,; we are not etiti
tied jto ftti equal share of the common and joint
propji-ity of all the States. Iu other words,
we are socially, morally and politically to be
excluded-from our just and common rights in
the property of all the States.
Aj sectional line is drawn ; a sectional. battle
' to be fought against the Democracy whose
standard-bearers are national .men, and, know
ing po North nor no South, are bearing aloft
the flag of equal ! rights and States equality,
around which very lover of the Union should
rally and save the country from anarchy and
dissolution. It is the flag under which our
fathers fought and conquered. It js the flag
which, thougji tattered and torn, and covyreo!
with; the smoke and dust of many a hard conv
test, will again triumph in "November next by
the votes of the Union . loviug States Right's
Republicans of our whole country.
ffie .JKnow. Nothings of the South admit
thatlthev bave lib. sympathy with the black
republicans of the North. If they are Lonst,
Why is it that they can support Millard Filk
more, who stands cheek ly jowl " with Fre
mont and the bl.ick republicans of the North?
Fremont scarcely' has a ; record, but when in
the Senateof the United States he voted with
the South. Let ine ask our Southern Know
Nothing friends if they can find a solitary vote
in favor of the rights. of the South given by
Mr. ( Fillmore when in the Congress of the
United States, Did' be not iuvariablv vote
with Slade and Giddings on every question
affecting our iuterests ? lie was not so ram
pan a few ' fire-eating' abolitiousts who
led the foes against us. Eut when, rnay I ask,
did he vote agiust the abolition horde?
What vote did lie ever give in conflict with
the principles avowed iu his Erie letter ?
But his Southern know nothing friends will
say that he signed the fugitive slave bill and
sustained the compromise measures. Well,
admit-it, and Hon. Mr. Oixoi (an Old Line
W big) of Kentucky, when cal
led to the stand
testifies that the influences of
a Clay
and
Webster was brought to bear iirmn lnm anrl
--O ----- -j , ,
after great hesitation and n consultation with
Attorney General, his constitutional adviser, be
was -forced to sign it with great doubt and re
luctance. ' -: ' .
How does Mr. F. stand now ! He says upon
the platform of the Philadelphia Council of
February last, which ignores tlie pelted 12lh
section, by which our Southern know nothing
jirore. Not a week ago, in his Albany speech,
be deplores the repeal of the Missouri restrit:
fV, ahd mourns l over the Kansas-Nebraska
bill as a finality, j A ---"& - yj H'
Jbere c!oe& Jfremont and the Black Repubi
beians stand f1 Precisely-on die same platform
opposition; to the repeal of the unconstitu
'0"al and odiou Missouri restriction, j Jfill
inorc and bis party North are opposed; to the
equal and just rights, embodied iu the Kansas
sta which but gives new life and
viity to tlie roost commendable feature -of

recpllect the war which was wageo last win

the Richmond Whig and National American.
Th BottsTjes wan ted. to ignore the 12 th sec-
tiori and tje platfoim of June, 1855. The
RicbmondAVhig swore they were black repub

AVell, tip American Council 0"f know, noth

Pennsylvania who came pledged
agaitist tli KansassNebraska ' bill, gave the
cold ishoulier to the anti-Edie delegation, abol-
ished the
ure platform, 12th section and all,
e Washington platform, a string of
accepted, t
specious generalities! with not a word in it in
regard to te 12th section or the Kansas and
Nebraska I lis ; in other words, virtually re
pudiated the platform'of June, 1855, occupy
ing now precisely the ground which was de
nounced then (by the Richmond Whig and the
Southern know nothings generally' as the very
essence of wool -dyed black republicanism.
See tibe files of the Richmond Whig of last
winter. ' - -: 1 - '
Is not the position of Mr. F. and his friends
in diject conflict with- the avowed sentiments
of eveiy slavcholding State in this Union?
Is it ftot in opposition to the avowed sentiments
of the Southern press of both parties ? Nfone
ichatcvcr. Should he be more national in his
viewi and sentiments than the candidate of the
Abolitionists and Black Republicans ? Every
vote jiven to Fillmore is one to Fremont, who,
for the first time! in the history of jour glorious
country, occupies the dangerous ground of a
strictjlv sectional candidate for the Presidencv,
nomixyted Ly all tlte t'mj nt wr 5vill-1
gfit? of the States: and the perpetuity of ourl
blessed Union. ;
The I cmociac-v alone can save the countrv.
Let- all true lovers of our-great and happy
Union, for once I merge the paitizan into the
patriot, and rally around our" noble national
standard bearersjand once more, for all. rebuke
the yile sectional warfare wliich is being wag-.
ed against the south. L
0 ir candidates'come up squarely ipon the
Democratic platform.
1 shall take the liberty here to transcribe
from the Valleyj Democrat, one of the best
fiapes in the State, the views of its accom
plished ami spirited Editor in regard to our
platform, as it embodies all that is necessary ;
and is so ictll, said, that I fee! assured it will
meel with a heaity response from every true
lovei of Democratic principles in our entire
Union. " "j . " I
JTrt savs : "The platform, announces the
pvin .iples boldly and feailessly, j Consulting
no selfish policy qr the peculiar tastes and
feeli.igs of any section, it comes manfully and
squpjvely up to every question. No shirking,
no dodo-innr. but bold and unequivocal upon
i . - i-
ever question and upon every issue. It re
iterjites the first principles of our faith, promul
gated by the fathers of the republican party,
and the old basii of our Union. ;
The Democratic party upon sectional is
sues is sound to core, and amid fanaticism. sec
tionalism, and treason, has shown. itse!l to be
national in evciy aspect.
Kit stands solemtdv pleilged to sustian the
j :,: . , . - ....
laws of the country; to maintain inviolate
the constitutional iiguts of the States, the
constitutional: guarantees of slavery, the dig
nity and eqnality of the States, and the whole
force of its orgaitization is arrayed againsTtbe
aggression - of fanaticism and in defence of
tlie constitution and the Union.
" It also, in clear ami. conclusive terms, re
pudiates the odious doctrines of squatter sov
ereignty, and emphatically endorses the prin
ciples of popular Fovereignty involved in the
Kknsas-Nebraska bill. Nobly 4iave ; the De
mJocracy performed; their duty ; and the man
w 10 cannot endorse that olatforra must be
destitute of patriotic impulses. How noble
and patriotic is the position of the Democrat
ic party."
With the veteran, Buchanan and the cbiv
alric Breckinridge, the great national Deraoc-,
racy will achieve a. victory of vital import
ance to the preservation of civil and religious
bberty and the perpetuity of the only blessed
land of freedom! on earth. , '
We think it wasBuffon who made the re-
rnark, that to every goose born,.; Providence
created twenty pair of hands to pluck him;
so it is with every Presidential nomination,
ten thousand libellers spring up and so be
spatter their opponest ' with slirae that even
now, if we believed -one lialf vev read, we
shouldn't dare to invite Fremont, Fillmore, or
Buchanan, to take pot luck with us, fearful of

MR. BUCHANAN'S FEDERALISM- AN
5 DREW JACKSON 1X)NEI0N. ;
Oar Know-Nothing' contemporaries who
are assailing Mr. Buchanan for having been a
Federalist almost half a century aro, may
nrobably like, to know what Major Andrew
Jackson Donelson whle a Democrat and ed
itor of the TJnioo, had to say, upon this subs
ject, We quote from th Washington Union
of June 5th, 1851 - I k --.
"W'hat if Mr. Buchanan, in the early part
of Jiis life, was a member of ; the Federal par
ly, and , followetl tlue. false lights-, of the men.
who are even yet the oracles for a large por
tion of the Whig party ? Are they - to be re
warded for persevering to the bitter end, and
seeking at this moment, to reinstate the prim
itive doctrines of the Federal party I And is
Mr. Buchanan to be scandalized because he
had the courage, a quarter 'of a century ao,
to acknowledge his convictions that those
doctrines were unwise and dangerous, and
could not be maintained without destroying
the Republican principle ? By what code of
justice religious, moral or political does the
special organ find that it is j more meritorious
to persevere iu wrong, than acknowledge the
conviction of error, than to do what is proper
and commendable afteipvards as the votary of
truth ? Does the special organ desire us lo
publish the numerous evidences afforded by
the recent speeches of the President's cabinet,
almost, defying Alexander Hamilton, the great
prototype of whiggeryj in oder that the peo
ple may see that the real issues of the parties,
stripped of all the disguise that is thrown
around it by the momentary passions and er
rors. of individuals, is exactly what it wa3 at
the close of Gen. Washington's adrninistra
tion,when the Ilatniltoniaq school, in love -
with British precedents, brought forth the
alien and sed t on aw ami th roUT
. ' - " 1
, , .a
ov.uwi, Hopeaung to tne common sense of the
country, reinstated the constitution as a com
paat between the States, and put down the
dangerous doctrine that, under the guise of
the terms toe, the people, and general welfare,
as used in the preamble the constitution,
the federal government acquired a po wer to
do whatever the discretion of! Congress might
decide to be best for the common -..good! If
ibia. is-the, Hpeglatfoa of ' JiW specfeif xTrgati,
we are ready to gratify it ; but we trust that
in dofnjr so it will not blame ns for tho naln
resulting to .one whoj undertakes to kick
against the 2ricksy
But the special organ, instead of manfully
acknowledging the error which has been
committed by its party in the countenance it
has given to political anti-slavery organiza
tion an error not denied nor even Concealed
by the President, or any one of his cabinet
ministers, in the various speeches they have
addressed to the abolition districts of New
York imagines that it is its office to neutral
ize the force of such a fact by reviving the
stale charge of federalism agaiqst Mr, Buch
hanan, who is one, amongst some eight or ten
of the prominent men in thej Democratic par
tyj that ufay be bronght before a national.con
vention, whose duty it will be to put some one
of them in nomination for the Presidency. -This
genlletnan has friends jwho will in due
season make a more detailed vindication of
his character than we have done in this hasty
article. What we have said is not a defence
of Mr Buchanan as a candidate for the Pres
idency, but as a member of the party in whose
service be has acquired the hhh respect of
his fellow-citizens, and has proved that he
possesses the eminent j ability and patriotism
which justified the confidence given to him by
the State which he so long represented in the
Senate of the United I States, and afterwards
by President Polk, who gave him the first
place in his cabinet. I
" We do not know that Mr. Buchanan ever
delivered the speech j which is attributed to
him ; but, if he did, we do not perceive how
a party which still entertains the Opinions it
avowed can profit by them either as the
ground of personal accusation or of party re
proach to the Democracy. That these opin
ions were groundless is proved Ty the testi
mony which the more mature life and expe
rience of Mr. B. has; afforded. Every one
knows that they , are just such 'as had been
taught and are still retained by all the oppo
