locofocoism in louisana has fabricated in the desper ate hope of injuring gen taylor by stri king at him through millard fillmore by far the most prominent is the charge that during the congressional session of 1842 mr fillmore aided nnd abetted giddings the abolitionist in his infamous attempt to justify by solemn resolution the mutiny and murder perpetrated by a number of virginia slaves on board ofthe brig cre ole the charge is false from beginning • to end — it is founded on falsehood sustain ed by ingenious and dishonest garbling congressional records and wantonly palm ed upon the people ol louisiana by a par ty whose solitary chance of success rests upon the possibility of deluding and mis leading the public mind we have taken some pains to investigate this atrocious libel anil an examination ofthe journals ofthe house ol representatives will con clusively establish mr fillmore's inno cence and expos lhe unscrupulousness and tnal.ee of his adversaries the authors of the creole slander as sert in the lirst place that when giddings presented ids incendiary resolutions a no tion was made to lay them on the table and that mr fillmore voted iu thi nega tive leaving tlie bare and naked infer ence by inserting fillmore and negative in larije letters that the whig candidate for vice president was therefore in fa vor of lhe resolutions this falsehood by implication may at once be denuded of its flimsy covering the journal ofthe house sliows that on e hun dred and twenty-five members voted with mr fillmore against laving the resolu lution on the table ; and among these names we find those of john b daw son john moore and edward d white being the entire delegation from louisiana together with a huge number of members from the slaveholding states this statement proves incontrovertibly that mr fillmore went with the south on the memorable occasion and that in common with a large majority of the mem bers he would not consent to treat the ne farious resolutions wilh the usual parlia ment courtesy but was iu favor of com pelling giddings to sue for permission to withdraw them and yet this vote of fillmore whicli is to be found in conjunc tion with that of tin whole louisiana del egation is recklessly and flagitiously dis torted by locofocoism and represented as a vote of aid anil comfort to giddings we wish the people of the state to re member that locofocoism reviles millard fillmore for voting side by side with john moore and the lamented dawson and white this however is only part of tlie evi dence we shall present of the trickery and duplicity of locofocoism — much remains to be added the cass and butler press designedly omits till reference to another vote of mr fillmore in reference to the resolutions of giddings — before the lat ter withdrew his resolutions another ques tion came before the house to wit : shall lhe main question he now put '" mr fill more with a majority ofthe house voted no thereby refusing to entertain the main question which was " that tlie house do ai_ree to the resolutions see journal house of representatives 2d session 27th congress pages 007 s !) and 370 it is true that mr fiiiraore voted a gainst the preamble and resolutions offer ed by mr w.ller his object was to treat giddings with withering contempt as a brainless crazy fanatic not to ele vate him into consequence by an appear ance of persecution he wished to see the resolution kicked out ofthe house as the effusion of a madman and besotted bigot mr fillmore voted against all proceedings on ihe subject deeming it as much beneath the dignity of the house to discuss mr gidding's insane folly as it would have been gravely to debate a pro position to dissolve the union or to change the form of our government that these were tlie motives which influenced mil lard fillmore is evinced by a fact care fully kept from view by his detractors viz : that mr fillmore did every thing in his power to deny to giddings an oppor tunity of making a speech in his own de fence for having presented the obnoxious resolutions an extract from the journals will sufficiently sustain this fact and make still more manifest the gross and glaring injustice of the locofoco press extract from the journal of the house of re presentatives 2d session 27th congress march 22d 1842 page 573 " pending the motion of mr weller for the previous question mr giddings inquired oflhe | chair whether the effect ofthat question ifsus tained would be to exclude him from giving his reasons why the resolution should not pass ? the speaker decided that if mr giddings desired to be heard in his defence and claimed il as a malter of privilege he would not enter lain the previous question at this lime as it would cut him off from his right of defence ; " mr giddings then moved that the further consideration of this subject be postponed until thursday week next to the end that he might prepare his defence " debate arising on this motion mr fill ' more submitted ihat debate was not in order and ihat the motion for lhe previous question by mr weller should be now entertained by the speaker the speaker then decided thai in hisjudg j ment the matter before lhe house was a ques tion of privilege ; and that on a question involv ing the privilege of a member of lhe house lhe previous question could not be applied and consequently that the motion for postponement was open for debate " from this decisien mr fillmore took ap \ i peal to the house and afier debate j the previous question on the appeal was | moved by mr hopkins and was demanded { and put viz : shall the main question be now i ! put ?" i and passed in the affirmative i on the next day the question was put viz : ! " shall the decision ofthe chair stand as he j < judgment of the house ?" and it was deter i i mined in the negative : yeas 64 nays 118 i so that mr fillmore's views were manlained j by the house and mr giddings was thereby ! refused the privilege of speaking in defence of j i his odious resolutions < and now whigs and demacrals we have j ' laid bare lo you the disreputable juggling of ' i that party which seeks to retain power by fraud ! i and falsehood beaten at all points ;

but he must be defeated by all of 20.000 majority or the slate goes easily and gracefully for cass and butler this is the estimate in ohio by the best judges now read what an intelligent correspondent ofthe national intelligencer says ofthe pros peels in ohio : — there does not rest lhe shadow of a doubt upon the mind of any well informed and not limid whig here as to the result the abo liiionists will as they have heretofore been wilh us are now against us and are running after that pink of free soil martin van buren the author of lhe sub-treasury and a catalogue of other political iniquities but these cannot prevent is from carrying ollio for tay lor and fillmore bv a triumphant major ity ;

or of him who admitted to mexico the general who dug thou sands upon thousands of " hospitable graves for our gallant countrymen if then the whigs are willing to attribute these acts ofthe govern ment to blunder rather than criminal intention what shall be said of a charge brought by the organ of this very government that the wbigs or in other words half the american people have opposed the war imping to see their own countrymen slain and the banner of their coun try covered with disgrace ? if the charge be true our republican expe riment has been a most signal failure no o iherland upon which the sun shines has brought lorth such myriads of monsters the very beasts ofthe forest will defend iheir caverns and fight for their kind it was left for repub lican america to give birth to a people half of whom are branded as traitors ;
