tachment to American principlea. i there wit
nessed' a struggle between the Northern and
Southern Delegate, as to who should obtain a
triumph, in fitting in the "suvery" plank of the
platform. For myself, I wanted no such plank
iuiL 1 1 used every effort in my power to pre
vent its insertion. I saw plainly, that when the
American party had to "walk that plank, it
would do so to iu sorrow. First because the
question of slavery was extraneous to -the aims
and ends of our organisation. Secondly because
from ;the very inherent nature of the order, it
could accomplish iu mission, only aa a natiomal
party ; embracing true-hearted American of
every ahade of opinion, on other and minor ques
tions, undivided and undistracted by sectional or
local issue. I did not wish to see the American
party, using the question of slavery agiution, as
an electioneering hobby a the anti-American
party U doing; laying down a platform to be
construed a anti-slavery in on section, and pro
elarery in another. And even if I had wished it,
I knew very well, that with the materials of
which the American party was composed, no
such game could be successfully played out. It
will be recollected by many, that I then warned
my Southern friends, that even if they could suc

form they might desire, yet, if thereby disruption
of the order followed (as I feared, believed, and
predicted would be the case) with the loss of our
nation'! unity, we should lose the Ulisman of our
strength. I then told them, that the loss of har
mony and concert of action would weaken us far
more, than the platform would strengthen us,
even, in the South. '
Bnt other counsels than mine and those who
concurred with me prevailed. The slavery ques
tion ,wa interpolated upon the three "point,"

peftd Diplomacy) repudiation of that portion of
the platform did follow in moat of the Northern
SUU Council the Southern elections during
the Bummer and Full of showed who was
right and who was wrong and we are now reap
ing the bitter fruit of our dissensions on the sub
ject, of slavery.
I am now, as I have ever been, since the first
inception of the American movement, an Ameri
can 43t the original type. Others may alter or
modify their creeds aa they choose but for my
self 1 will admit the etaiuo of no other foreign
DeUr in my poetical Pantheon, till the great
problem ia aotvei, whether our country is to be
controlled and governed by the American people
or by a pie-bald rabble from other lands whe
ther we are to enjoy Protestant freedom of con
science, or whether we are to bow in abject ala ve
ry to the behesU of Borne whether the Union
is to be preserved, or undermined by faction.
Ti true, I have my opinions on the various
question growing out of slavery, aa firm and
fixed as any man in the land ; but I do not intend
to allow, these opinions to interfere with my sup
port ofor mar my attachment to, the higher and
nobler ends of Americanism. 1 am willing to
redognise, to counsel with, and to act with, any
and every man, in the maintenance and support
of American principles ; no matter what may be
hii opinion on the subject of slavery -frvnded
beHa willing to subordinate those opinions, aa I
am mine, to the three great cardinal principles of
Americanism. Any man, either North or South,
who holds bis views on slavery as first and fore
most, and who sustains American principles as
ancillary only to the carrying out his peculiar
eentimenU on the subject of slavery, either pro
or con, is not a reliable American ; and if ever the
country is saved from fc reign influence, Rnmirh
airremion. and the horrors of disunion, it will
net be throuch eis aid or instrumentality.
; Entertaining these views, I hare, from the be
ginning, exerted all my humble influence to pre
serve harmony ana concert of action in the A
merican party, to suppress discord, and to keep
cor forces united for the great struggle before us.
We have not on.y to combat foreign domination,
Ipal tyranny, and disunionUai, but we have to
contend with a party which has openly allied it
self with the two former, and which encourages
the Utter, by the bestowal of place and profit oo
iu advocatea. In order to ottr success, all the
etemenU of opposition should be united. Our
cfissension on the subject of slavery only enure
to the benefit of this same party, which has the
assurance to caa itself Democratic ; which man
ages to use slavery agiution aa an element of
strength ; which assembles notorious free-eoileTs
and rampant "fire-eaters' at the same council-
board ; which proclaims the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise to be in aid of Slavery at one end of
the country, and in uvor of treed oca at the other ;
whose late platform at Cincinnati, fixed up to
guu ue ctoutn, was "awauowed by those wno
int- nded to "puke it up again ;" (see Mr. Ben-

strength of the Union we are realizing the sad
consequences of that mos unwise and unfortu
nate measure, the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. , IU authors sowed the wind, and our
suffering country is now reaping the whirlwind.
From the day of the consummation of this meas
ure, I have ever believed it would prove to this
nation," what the wrath of Achilles did to Greece,
" the direful spring of woe unnumbered." I
would scorn to Uke a mere sectional view of this
questii n yet it is due to justice to say, that the
South, a a tectum, is not to blame for it. The
South did not ask for it. It was tendered to the
South, aa a boon, by the party in power, to ef
fect partisan ends, and promote selfish and am
bitious views. And even now, when" our coun
try is writhing in throes of convulsion, the polit
ical gamblers, who direct and control this same
party, are still playing with the question of MU
sou'ri Compromise repeal, as a counter iu the
came, where the sUke is nothing short of the
Union itself. They are still trying to cheat the
people of both sections telling the South, that
tbe measure extends the area of slavery 'beyond
the line of 36 80' and telling the North, that it
does away with the iruaranty. that slavery may go
a-i far North as that line: and that it will enable
them hereafter to interpose against it, South of
thathne. - r" r ? . .if '. ,
The only hope, ia ray , opinion, of arresting
this evil of slavery agitation, is, by driving from
power the party that uses it, a a means of per
petuating their dynasty. V ntu uu is aone, tne
country will have no peace. ' And if I could be
allowed to offer a word, of advice I would ap
peal to every national, conservative, Union-loving
man, from the Bay of Chaleur to the CaJifor
nian gulph, to forget for the time all minor dif
ferences, and to unite in one common struggle,
against tbe common enemy of all. Whether pro
shtvery or auti-slavery, let them, even uow for
there is yet time make another effort to secure
unity and concert of action, in contending against
a party which is deceiving both ; and whose game
is, to keep them in perpetual conflict; that, like
tbe Fox in the fable, they may carry off the spoil,
when the com baUnto are exhausted. ' T

in the coming political struggle no matter what

and believe, the day is not far distant, whn all

General Leach, the Elector of the 6th Congres

through several of the counties composing his dis
trict, and from the great fluttering caused among
too wounded pigeons, we judge that the bow
has been drawn by a strong arm. and the arrow
spej to iu aim.
And as the game of Democracy is si ways to mis

tice in writing, yet it is evideut that his lying
propensities nave been luiiy developed.
Why should Gen. Leach be so wantonly misre

The reason is obvious; it is because he is render?

reckless assert'oos-and falsehoods, endeavoring to
injure him, and thus try to break the influence
he is exerting in securing vote for Fillmore and

John Fillmore, the grandfather of Millard
Fillmore, inl the common ancestor of all of
that name in the United States, waa born about
the' year 1710, in one of the New England
States, and feeling a strong propensity for a sea
faring life, at the age of about nineteen went orV
board a fishing vessel, which sailed from Boston
Tbe vessel had been but a few days ou. when it
was captured by a noted pirate ship, command
ded by Capt. Phillips, and young Fillmore was
kept as a prisoner. He remained on ,board;the
pirate ship nine months, enduring every hard
ship which a. strong constitution and firm spirit
was capable of sustaining; and, though frequent
ly threatened withlnstant death unless he would
sign the piratical article of the vessel, he steadi
ly refused, until two others had been taken pris
oners, who also refusing to join tbe crew, .the
three made an -attack upon the pirates, and alter
killing several, took the vessel and brought.it
safe into Boston harbor. ' The narrative of this
adventure has been for many years in print, aud
details oae of the most daring and successful ex
ploits on m-ord. The surviving pirates were
tried and executed, and the heroic condnct of the

Nathaniel Fillmore, bis son, and father of Mil
lard, was born at Bennington,' in '71, and early
ia hie removed to what is now called Summer
Hill, Caynga county, where Millard was born,
January 7th, 1800. He was a farmer, arid soon
altar loHi all liia property by bad title to. one of
liie military lots he had purchased. About the
year 1802 he removed to the' town of Sempronius,
now Niles, in the same county, and reaided there
until 1819, when he removed' to Erie county,
where he still lives, cultivating a small farm with
his own hands. He was a strong and uniform
supporter of Jefferson, Madison, and Tompkins,
and ia now a national American.
The narrow means of his father deprived Mil
lard of any ' adranUges of education beyond
what were afforded by the imperfect and ill
taught common schools of the country. Books
were scarce and dear, and at the age of fifteen,
wlienrriorc favored 'youths arc far advanced in
their classical studies, or enjoying in college the
benefit of well-furnished libraries, young Fillmore
had read but little except common school books
aud tbe Bible. At that period he was sent into
the then wilds of Livingston county, io learn
the clothier's trade." He remained there about
four months, , and was then placed with another
person to pursue the same business and wool-card-it:"
in the town where his father lived. . A small
village library that was formed tlieru soon after
gave him the first means of acquiring general
knowledge through books. He improved the op
portunity thus ofierpd ; the appetite grew by
what it fed upon. The thirst for knowledge soon
became insatiate, and every leisure momeut was
spent in reading.. Four years were pnsfd in
tlii way, working at his trade, and Moring ' his
mind during such hours st he" could command,
with the contents of books of history, Wography,
and travels. At the age of nineteen he fortunate
ly made an acquaintance with the ' late Walter
.Wood, Esq., whom many will . remember as one
of the most estimable citizens of Uayuga county.
Judge Wood was a man of wealth, and great
business capacity ; be had an excellent law li
brary, but did but little professional business.
lie soon aaw that under the rude exterior jti the
clothier's boy were powers that only required
S roper development to raise the possessor to high
istinction and usefulness, and advised him to
quit his trade and study law. In reply to the
objection of a lack of education, mean and friends
to aid him in a course of professional study,
Judge W. kindly offered to give him a place in
his office, to advance money to defray his ex pen
se, and wait until success in business should fur
nish the means of repayment. The offer was ac
cepted. The apprentice boy bought' his time,
entered the office of Judge ,Wood, and for more
than two years applied himself , closely to busi
ness1 and study. He read law and general litera
ture, and studied and pr act' Bed surveying
Fearing he should incur too large a debt to .hi
benefactor, he Uught school for three months in
the year, and acquired the means of partially.
snpportiug himself. . In the tall of 1821, here
moved to the. county of Erie, and tbe next Bpring
entered a law office in Buffalo.
There he susUined himself by teaching, and
continued his legal studies until the spring of
18i3, when be was admitted into the Common
lleas, and being two diffident of his then- untried
powers to enter "iuto competition with the older
members of tile bar in Buffalo,' he removed to
Aurora, in that county, where he commenced the
practice ot law. In 1826, he was married to
Abigail Powers, the youngest child of the Rev.
Lemuel rowers, deceased, by whom he has two
children, a son and daughter. She w as a lady of
great worm, modest and uuonstrusive in her de
portment, and highly, esteemed for her many
virtues. ..:.,., . , -
In 1827, Mr. Fillmore was admitted as an at
torney, and in 1829, as counsellor of the Supreme
uourw. rrevions to tin time , bu practice had
been very limited, but bis application to judicial
studies had ben constant and severe, -and it is
not to be doubted that, during these few years of
comparative seclusion, he acquired that general
knowledge ot the fundamental principles of law
which has mamly contributed in after life to give
him an elevated rank among the members Of that
literal profession. Hisi leiral acquirements and
skill as an advocate soon attracted the attention
of bs professional brethren in Buffalo, and he
was offered a highly advanUgeous connection
with an older member of the bar in that city,
which he accepted, and i removed there in the
spring of 1830, in which place he contiued to re-
sivic unui ma election oi uomptrouer, and remov
al to Albany in the winter of 1847. . ' ? "

mis nrst entrance into public Ute was in Jan

of the Assembly from Erie county, to which of
fice he waa 'e-elected the two following years.

sessions, as for many years before aud after, held
triumphant sway in both houses of the Legislature,
and bat little opportunity was afforded a young

says it is right, we will yote for it."

He was elecleil to Confess r the fall of 1H , J.
Tlie session hf 1833-34 wiP lon ! rememtvivd
as the one in which that svsfeni of pohti'-s, kn.v.vn
iindor thh cmprehensive name of J:ii ksoms::i,
was fully developed. It was 'in the stotmy scsu
won of 1 833-34 immedintcly nceoeding the re
moval of the deposit, that Mr, Fillm re to- k ms
seat.! In those d iys the business of the ll n-e
and debates were led byobV anJ experienced iiH'in
hexfrUnew ones, unless thoy wtj.ycd a vtide-sprcad
and almost national reputatim, rarely faking au
active and conspicuous part. Little chance, there
fore, was afF-wdod Mr. Fillmore, a membpr of the
opposition, young and uuiWsitrniog, of displayiiig
those qualities that so eminently fit hird for legis
lative usefulness. As lie h is ever d.ine; in all the
Ktatioi'is hehaa fillwl, he dasch'afged htyduty with
scrupulous fidelity, never omitting oh hll proper
occasions anyttbrt to advance the- iiiterwt- of
his constituents acd the cpuptry, and yrinuiug
the respect an4 confidence -of all. j , .
At the close of his term of ir vice, he resiimml
the practice of hW professioni' which ho pursutl
with distinguished reputation and success, until,
yieMiug to the public voice, fie couseiited.to, be
come a candidate aud was re-elected ti Congress,
in the fall of 1836. In this -Cougresa Mr. Fill
more took a more active part than he klid during
his first term, and ou the assembling of tlie next
Congress, to which he was; re-elected by a large
ly increased majority, he was issigned a prominent
'plice m what, next to that of ways and means,
it was justly anticipated would become the most
important committee of the House that on elec
tions, It was in this Congress that the famous
contested New Jersey case jame up. , It would
swell this brief biographical sketch ti too great
a length to enter upon "the details of that case,
and it is the less necessary-to do so, inasmuch as
the circumstance of tbe gross outrage then per
petrated by party calling itself Republican, and
claiming to respect State righte, must yet dwell in
the recollection of every reader. ' ? .
- The prominent part which Mr. FUlinore twk
in that case, his patient 'investigation of all its
complicated, minute details, 'the clear, eon vincing
manner in which he set forth the facte, the
lofty and indignant eloquence with , which he de
nounced the meditated wroiag,' all strongly di
rected public attention to him as one.of the ablest
men of that Congress, distinguished as it was by
the eminent ability and statesmanship of many
of its members. Public indiguation was awak- '
ened by the enormity of the outrage,, and in that
long catalogue of abuses and wrongs which rous
ed a long suffering people to action, and resulted
in the signal overthrow of a corrupt and insolent
dynasty in 1840, the New Jerseyca e stood mark
ed and conspicuous, jt
On the assembling of the next Congress, to
which Mr. Fillmore was re-elected by a majority
larger than was ever before given in his district,
he was placed at the bead of the committee on
ways and means. The duties of that station, al
ways arduous and responsible, were at that time
peculiarly so. The measures he brought forward,
and sustained with matchless ability, speedily re
lieved the Government from tts embarrassment,
and have fully justified the most sanguine ex
pectations of their beuigrj influence upon the
country at large.
After his long aud severe tabors in the com
mittee room labors sufficiently arduous to break
down any but one of an irou cousitution 'sustain
ed by a spirit that nothing could : conquer, he
ya required to give his unremmitting attention
to the business of the House, to make any' ex
planation of every cavil or objection that the in
genious sophistry of a factious minority could de
vise. All this, too, was required to be doue with
promptness, clearness, dignity and good temper.
r or the proper pcrlormance ot toese varied du
ties few men are more happily qualified than
Mr. Fillmore. At that fortunate age, ; when the
physical and intellectual powers are displayed in
the highest perfection, and the hasty impulses of
youth, without any Ions of its vigor, are brought
under control of large experience in public affairs,
with a mind capable of descending to minute de
tails, as well as conceiving a grand system of
national policy, calm and deliberate in judgment,
self-possessed and fluent in debate, of dignified
presence, never unmindful of the , courtesies be
coming social and public intercourse, and of politi
cal integrity unimpeachable, he was admirably
fitted for the post of leader of tl.e 27th Congress.
Just before the close of the first session of this
Congress, Mr. Fillmore, in a letter addressed to
his constituents, signified his intention not be a
candidate for re-ejection. 1 He acknowledged, with
gratitude aud ' pride, the cordial ; and generous
support given him by hi constituents, but the
severe labor devolved upon him by his official
duties demanded some relaxation, and private af
fairs, necessarily neglected in some degree during
several years of public service, called for atten
tion. Notwithstanding j his declaration to with-;
draw from the station be filled With- so 'much
liooor and usefulness, the convention of hi dis
trict, unanimously, and by acclamation, re-nomi
nated him, and urgently pressed upon him a dm
pliance with their wishes. Mr,. Fillmore was
deeply affected by this last of many proofs of
confidence and regard on the part of those who
bad known him longest 'and best, but ho firmly
adhered to tbe determination he bad . expressed.
and at the close of the .term for which he was
elected, he returned to bia home,- more gratified
at his relief from the cares of official life than he
had ever been at . the prospect of it highest
rewards and honors But though keenly enjoy.
ing the freedom from public responsibilities, and
the pleasures of intercourse m which he was per
mitted to indulge, the qualities of mind and
habita of systematic, close attention to business,
that so emiueutly fitted him for a successful Con
gressional career, were soou called into full ex
ercise by the rapidly increasing requiremeut of
professional pursuiU. never wholly given up
There is a fascination in the strife . of politics, ita
keen excitements, and its occasional, but always
t mpting, brilliant triumphs, that, when once fel,
few men are able to resist so completely as t j
return with relish to tM comparatively tame and
dull occupations of private life. ' But to the calm
and equal temperamerit of Mr. Fillmore, repose,
after the stormy scenes! in which he had been
forced to tak a leading part, waa most grateful.
He had ever regarded' his profession . with affec
tion and pride, and he. coveted : more the just,'
fairly won fame of the fjnrist, than the highest
political distinction. ' He welcomed tha toil, there
fore, which a large practice in the higher courts
imposed upon him, and; was as remarkable for the
thoroughness with which he prepared his legal
arguments, as he was for patient, minute investi
gation of the dry and difficult subjects it was so
often hi duty to elucidate and defend in the House
of Representatives. 1 j : ; ,
' In 1844, in obediencfe to a popular wish too
strong to resisted, he reluotantly -accepted the
Whig nomination for ilovernori The issue of :
that conflict has become history, and though deep
ly pained at the result! he was only so in view of
the national calamities that he j foresaw would :
follow the defeat of the illustrious statesman and
patriot, Henry Clay, who led the Whig host.

He had no aspirations for the officer, and with the
failure of his election he trusted would end any
r . l j , .... . . .... J
iurcner aeniana upon aim to rerve in, public life.
In 1847, a popular call, aimiUar to that of '44.
was again made upon him. to which he vieldad a
reluctant assent, and fie was elected Comptroller
oj tne orate, oy a majority larger than had been
given to any &tate omcer at any former eleetion
in many years. Ther were some peculiar caus
es that contributed to s well his maj.jrity' at that
election, but, independent of them, there can be
uo doubt tliat the general conviction of his emin
ent fitness for the office would,' under any cir
cumstances of the oriposing party, have given
him a . great and triumphant Vote. That such
evidence of tbe confidence and esteem of his fel-,
low-citizens was gratifying to his feelings can-i
not be dwubted, ; but jfew can justly appreciate
the sacrifices they impose. The duties of his
present office could nbt be discharged without
abandoning at once and forever for

Of tn result that fiillowod this. mnnatiorl I shall
not sjjoak, as-it would Iw usele- to trespass fur
ther.upon yoilr time in descrilaui; an event with
which 3"on are so well acquainted;-1
- It was at that very time" when sectional strife
began to raise its arm against the law of the land,
and threaten jthe Union of -the States, that Mil
lard Fillnnra tvas called to preside over the des
tinies of the 'nation, b - occupy the chair then
made vacantlby' the death of the lamented Tay
lor. ! It seemed as though Pfivideuoe had selec
ted from among tbe many patriot sons and Union-loving
men of our country; one not unknown,
but whose past career had established for iim a
highly honorable reputation among his fellow
citizens another Washington whose patriotism,
t" whose ; wisdom," and whose experience would
calm the troubled waters, iud. say, "peace, be
still." Such indeed, was the result of Mr. Fill
more's administration ; be "knew no North, n
South, no East, no West, but the whole Unum ;
to cement it more closely together was his high
est aim, for the history of that administi ak 1 clear
ly demonstrates that he wuuld have sacrificed
every thing 'rather than fail to have preserved
union and harmony throughout the land.
When Mri Fillmore retired from the White
House, a universal ehont- came up from every
quarter, "we'll done, thou gxl and faithful ser
vant." His 'friends and enemies alike turned to
ward him with feelings of admiration and love,'
while, with'; grateful hearts they acknowledg
ed him to be, what he has since been' styled,
the Model? President." Such was the boy,
and such is Che man, whom 'tlie American party
E resent as their candidate for President of the
tinted States. In every station in which he has
been placedj he has shown himself "honest, capa
ble, and faithful to the Constitution." He is em
phatically one of the people. For all that he
has and is, he is indebted, under God, to his own
exertions, thje faithful performance of every duty,
and steadfast adherence to the right. ;Born to an
inheritance p comparative poverty, he struggled
bravely with difficulties that would have appall
ed and crushed a less resolute heart, until he has,
by rio. flise means, reached: a proud eminence
which commands the admiration of his country
men. Nobly has he won his laurels, and long
may he live to weiir them, j
