Buchanan as the strongest of the candidates opposed to the northern sectional party. This they may do without renouncing their old political faith, without stain of honor or suspicion of apostacy. The motive being the integrity of the Union, the defeat of a party which is founded on geographical dis- criminations and bound together by dangerous sectional schemes, the act will be vindicated by disinterested patriotism. For my part, I shall not abjure my political creed, and, having in view but t...he one object which I have stated, I shall hold myself ready to take any other course which may be necessary to effect that object. Should the hopes of Mr. Fillmore's friends be realized; should it ap- pear that he is more likely to carry the great body of the patriotic, but quiet people, who generally come to tlie rescue in times of public peril ; that he is, in short_, the best able to subdue this storm of sec- tional passion and prejudice, I shall rejoice to see him again filling the chair of state, ^ut I will not aftect an unalloyed gratification ; for I cannot forget that he is the candidate of a party which has pro- scribed whigs who were not members of "'the order" — of a party which boasted that it had risen on the ruins of the whig and demo- cratic parties, and vvdiich has pronounced both of them corrupt.
