With a motion like the ocean when it has a gentle for President Fillmore is lost and that some
we
think the American altogether in error in us
estimates of President Fillmore's strength at
the South. We doubt whether as ngninst any
one of several of the prominent democratic
candidates he con be said nt this time to be
sure (if a single southern State lie might
possibly curry Kentucky ISorth Carolina and
Florida. In Tennessee and Louisiana the
chances would bo strongly ngninst him; and in
nooiherSinie south of Washington would he
hnvc ns wo think any rhnnce at all. We are
aware that the American refers not to Mr.
Fillmore's strength nt the South in carrying
the Slates in the election but in securing the
vote of their delegates in the Whig Nntionnl
Convention Yet the two facts are closely
connected. There has been an iden that Mr.
Fillmore was strong before the people of the
South. This idea mnde him for n time the
favorite candidate for nomination there. Hot
the idea is fust fading away. In fact Mr. Fill-
more's strength nt the South nerer had any
root in the public mind. HE WAS A BIT-
TER PILL A VERY BITTER PILL-TO
THE SOUTH IN ISIS; and they took him
only for the sake of General Taylor; and since
then he hus done literally nothing specially to
commend himself to southern favor. It is
true he signed the fugitive law; but it would
hnve been stark madness utter lunacy in
him or in any oilier President to hnve refused
that signature. It was nn net ol the most in-
disputable nnd imperative necessity and noth
ing more. And with the sincle exepptinn of
that act HIS ADMINISTRATION MAS
BEEN ONE LO( SAD TEDIOUS
FAILURE AND BLUNDER. Wrho believes
that Willi the proper spirit capacity and ef-
f rt in the White House we should have had
this disgraceful muster roll of triumphant in
sulting and yet unpunished negro and aboli
tionist mobs insurrections nnd murders?
Who believes flint With the right kind of an
Executive! our government would now have to
stand in its present attitude of humiliation to
wards Spain and the European intervening
powers and nt the same time in such miserable
self contradiction in its course towards the rev-
olutionary provinces of Mexico? The Exe
cutive inefficiency in the execution of the fug-
itive law and the wretched blunder in the
whole Cuban business from its commence-
ment to its close in so far as it is yet cldsed
have doomed the administration at the South.
Add to this that its tariff policy is utterly at
war with southern interests nnd the last offic-
ial explanation of that policy in the columns
ol the Republic; point directly to a restora
tion of the "bind: tarirl" of 1842 is enough
to rouse throughout the whole South the most
bitter and wide spread hostility. With these
facts in View! "it is plain that President Fill-
more can have no real strength with the peo-
ple of the South) even if we leave out of view
the great Gnlphin odium which his adminis-
tration inherited or the great Gnrdiner odium
in which it is implicated. And it is in these
circumstances that we find Presidnt Fillmore
putting the last hand to his ruin at the South
bv bringing out anew and with justification
HIS OLD AND FOR A TtME DORMANT.
ABOLITIONISM.
Otir own explanation therefore of the Web
ster movement in the INew York Courier and
Washington Republic is that the politicians
of the whig party feel that the southern game
ganixatinns they have rallied and are mil v
ing to the support of that measure under the
banner of sound national democratic principles
nnd policy. The American hiay well profit by
their example. As for on wives we must con-
tinue to hold the fortune of the Compromise
t.i be like it principles identified with those
of the national democratic party till we can
find some other national parly able to make
even a show of sustaining it.
The American following in the track of the
Republic quotes against us an article from the
Savannah Georgian censuring us for support-
ing the Compromise and aiming apparently
to show that the democracy of the South dn
not ncquiescr in that measure. All such arti-
cles nre labor lost. The elections oming from
the South assure us that we have truly re-
sponded to the sober conclusions of the South.
Meantime we can well bear the impatient tone
of those southern democratic journals which
like (he Georgian did not at first accurately
perceive the direction bf the strong current of
democratic sentiment nt the South Our re-
cent reply to the Raleigh Stnndnrd embraces
all that we now deem it necessary to say in
reply to the Georgian. Wc bplievo that both
these journals will before long be found stand-
ing With us on tho only ground on which the
national demncfntid party cftrl unite. It is
ground on which the whig party of the coun-
try as judged from all its past and present
declarations of policy never rally. Its pre'
tehee so to rally if it mnke one must be as the
whig caucus pretence in New York is now pro'
claimed to be by the American nnd southern
whig press geneernlly a "snare nnd a client.
On this ground the faithful maintenance of
the Compromise we entertain no doubt what
ever that the Undivided South will soon take
its stand. Nor can tee doubt that the South
will then aid powerfully to place the federal au
thority in the hatids of that party which alone
can sustain the adjustment as a final barrier" to

From tlis Tulilngtoll Union of Sept. 13 1651.
The Baltimore American is not well suited
with our contemptuous reiecitnn of its absurd
proposition that the democrats who rally upon
the maintenance of the Compromise ns a plat-
form on which to carry out the ancient and
time honored principles of their great party
should join the conservative whigs" in a new
Union orgonization to sustain nnd re-elect
President Fillmore. The American begs us
to spire it any further expression of our "as-
tonishmenl." That we will do if the Ameri-
can will but spare s and the country any fur-
ther persistence in s;.'ch monstrous fooleries.
For is it not to the plain sen?9 of every ploin
man a monstrous foolery to ask a national
democrat to sustain Mr. Fillmore now repu-
diated by two thirds of his own party as an
eleventh hour apostate from his KOVN AB-
OLITIONISM of 1S48 to the old democratic
doctrine of non-intervention as imbodied in the
Compromise ?
Inferring by what process of logic we know
not our obligation to sustain Mr. Fillmore
from onr declared determination to sustain the
Compromise as the true nnd inevitable Tally-
ing ground of the national democracy the
American urges us if we do not like the in
ference to "take back" the declaration.
Whenever we have anything to "take back
we may well ask for a few suggestions as to
the way of doing it from the easy political mo-
rality and the practical adroitness of the Amer-
ican! for ever sioce that'journal took back its

Would sound as well. This New York Chnp-
man like our lennessee Chapman claims to
be a special mouth-piece of God nnd to wield
the thunders of the church ngninst all who do
not neree with him in opinion. "I am a mm
ister of the M. E. Church South and the
church is responsible to the public for what I
say and write says our Chapman. "States
men may see what seems to them the best pol
lev; but men who take God's word for their
guide see what is right" says the New York
Chapman. But while oar" Chapman thinks
that God is looking solely to the proscription
of Cntholics and foreigners the New York
Chapman thinks thnt the prusent great interest
in Heaven is the admission of Kansas lefritorv
as a free State and the political elevation of
the merger. Addressing the ndvocates of slave-
ry in Kansas he adds: "The Almighty with
his principles of fhoral government is against
you." Agnini "God is waging a conflict
with this nation; God marks out a line of du
ty and those who walk rn it nnd serve God
occupy an honorable position' but "those who
uphold the Wrong and fight against God will
be like Ahnb" &c At. Upon this the New
York Herald remarks I "What the reverend
Mr-Jones means by fighting agninst God is
fighting against Jdnes. or at least they nre so
closely ulli'pd and it is so utterly impossible for
Jones to be wrong In interpreting God's word
that they may be used as convefitable names.
When Jones wants a thine Jones savs that
God wahts it; God declnres if Jones is baffled
or kept Waiting or otherwise annoyed that He
is against those who thus baffle or annoy his
servant Jones or nt least Jones says so and
woe to ine perverse mortals who thus war
against God. All this is as old at least as the
Oracle of Delphi. There never has been so
poor a knave as could not some how make out
that God was on his side and that his enemies
Were inspired by the devil." So it seems that
there are more Chapmnns than one and more

accept this indirect recantation of the men who

not he too close in scrutinizing motives. As
the Richmond Examiner snys. 'it is alas ! on-

during life by the very men who after death
make the most elaborate efforts to uffect a ref

pressed his belief that the causes of difference
between the two countries were capable of nn
amicable solution and trusted peace would be
preserved not only for the sake of humanity
but also for the interests of commerce.
"His Excellency afterwards visited St.
George's hall through which he was conduct-
