At the foot of the old elm tree,
Where the birds shall sing to the, mother,
In their wild wood melody ;
There the wild flowers bloom so sweet, mother,
On the banks of the meiintain rill ;
It dwells in my childhood’s dreams, mother,
I dream of its beauty still.‘
You will bury me by the rill, mother,
Yes there my grave shall be,
There the sunshine ever‘ lingers

The mossy bank at its foot, rnotlier,
And the music so soft and still-
Shall sigh my requiem there, mother,
By the side of the mountain rill.
Yes, let me sleep by the rill, mother-
Whsn evening shadows creep,
You will love to wqnderthere, mother,
The spot where your daughter sleeps.
And you will love to f.hink,'motl'icr,
When this heart is cold and still-
Ofthe new made graveby the mossy bank,
By the ‘mi. of the mounhlu rlll.
I am weary and must sleep, mother,
But I know that my latest sigh,
Will be wsfted on angels’ wings, mother,
To my spirit home on high ;
But oh, ’tis sweet to know, mother,
That when this heart is still,
That I shall sleep in my chosen spot,
By the side of the mountain rill.

Shaller on Fremont and Fillmore
Below will be found a sharp and racy
letter, written by Chauncey Shaffer,
Esq.. of New York, who is now here,
vindicsting himself from the charge of
having “gone back" to the support of
Fillmore :
SARATOGA Sriunos,
Aug. 14, 1856.
U. DUNN, EsQ.—My Dear Sir: I
have just received, by way of New
York City, your note of the 9th inst.,
inclosing the following extract from The
Ithaca Citizen. to wit:
“ Coirmo BAcx.—Chauncey Shaffer, who
was one os the most prominent bolters from
the Philadelphia American Convention, and
who has been stumping the river counties in
this State at the Fremont meetings, has re-
turned to the hearty support of Fillmore and
Donelson. Mr. Shafier is an eloquent speaker
and was District Attorney in New York City.
He belongs to the Methodist church, and his
recent conviction that Mr. Fremont is a Ro-
man Catholic, is the reason why he withdraws
his support of the Republicans. He has can-
didly examined all the evidence, for and
against, which has appeared, and has looked
closely into the statements of Fulmer, and the
opposition against them, and declares that
evidence in favor of his being a Papist is con-
clusive, for which reason he cannot support
him.”
You assure me that the above is pro-
ducing an impression in your region, and
desire me to inform you whether it is
true or not. I answer that it is a sheer
fsbricatiou—a "Roorback." That no
further mischief may occur from the cir-
culation of that article, I will set ~ the
matter of my preference of candidates
right at once.
_, In the first place, I was not a promi-
nent of other “holler from the Philadel-
phia American Convention.” I was not
a delegate to that Convention. There
were reasons why I should not be it del-
egate. I had too much to do with nu-
doing the work of a previous Council in
Philadelphia assembled, too much to do
against the slave propsgandlsts at Bing-
hamton last August, and was too little
inclined to see Americsnism sold out, to
be codsidered a safe man to go to Phila-
delphis.
I staid at home against my will, I ad-
mit. Moreover, that Convention was
not an "Americau” convention.
As far as the North was concerned, it
was a Silver Grey Whig Convention, as
far as the South was concerned, it was
a Convention for the Propagation of
Human Slavery, and the result was the
nomination of two men, one of whom
glories in being the owner of a hundred
slaves r and the other (Mr. Fillmore) in
ring a most subservient instrument of
the Slave Power, as is manifestly proved
by his course while acting as President
of the United States; also by his spee-
ches made during his Southern tour in
pursiiit of a re-nomination, as well as
by his nullification speeches at Albany
and elsewhere, on his return from his
visit to the Pope.
Hence the leading Silver Gray news-
papers of the ‘North (including The
New Yorlc Express) claim Mr. Fillmore
as the regular Whig nominee for the
Presidency, while the Sulllll claim him
as the champion of Southern rights,
(meaning the extension of human slave-
ry by the action of the General Govern-
mem,) while Mr. Fillmore, to justify
the claims of the South, in effect says,
“Elect me, or the South that loves me
so well, shall npi remain in the Union.”
general requisites) that he was residing
within the limits and under the jIlriIdic-
As an Ameigsn, I am not bound by
the action of that Convention, rather,
let me say. I cannot submit to be bound
by its action, any more than can my
brethren of Massachusetts, of Connecti-
cut, and of every New England State.
The American party of Massachusetts,
in solemn council assembled, has de-
clared for Mr. Fremont, and nominated
electors favorable to his election, and so
has the Suite of‘ Connecticut, and so
will all New England do, (for New
England has a history,) and so will the
American party of IIIIS State act, excep-
ting always a portion oi the Silver-
Grey portion of that party. The letter
portion will stand by Mr. Fillmore, nor-
withstauding he "has adopted the lead-
ing principles of that platform,” the
seventh section of which commits the
American party to Slavery extension
under the guise of squatter sovereignty.
I have not "returned to the hearty
support of Fillmore and Donelson,” nor
will I do any act or thing tending to
sanction the outrages of Pro-Slavery,
Nullification Border Ruflians, who in
addition to their outrages in Missouri
and Kansas, of themselves sufficient to
turn the check of darkness pale, have,
form 1852 until now, wrested the high
powers of the nation from their legitimate
purpose, to the strengthening of the
Slave Oligsrchy.
There are other objections to my sup-
porting Mr. Filimore, founded upon the
fact stated by the Citizen, that I belong
to the Methodist Church,
The church owes Slavery no particu-
lar good will. for Slavery has rent that
church in twain; has imprisoned wo-
men for teaching the slave to read the
Bible, and has sought in every way to
destroy that church. as being the oppo-
nent of Slavery most to be feared. Let.
facts speak. Last Winter a minister of
the Methodist Church, in Missouri, was
arrested while in the pulpit by a gang
of men (who, if they live will probably
vote for Mr. Fillmore,) who wantonly'
and falsely charged him with horse-
stealing; and without allowing him time
to put on his overcoat, mounted him on
a horse, drove hgm some seventeen miles
(the weather being intensely cold.) threw
him into a cheei-less room, without fire,
there left him to die, and there he died.
My informant is a Bishop of the
Methodist Church, and spoke of his
own knowledge.
Another instance: The Rev. Mr.
Wiley, and about thirty other ministers
of the Methodist Church have been as-
saulted in their churches and driven from
placeto place, like beasts of prey, their
lives being in imminent peril.
Another instance ; In Kansas is Meth-
vodisfiriinistor was-whipped, tuned and
feathered, tiedto a log and set afloat on
the Missouri River.
Another instance: Very recently is
Methodist minister in Missouri, while
preaching, was dragged from his pulpit
and timed and feathered; while an old
Methodist layman. for the crime of ex-
postulstiou against such -conduct, was
shot; and it is a notorious fact. and one
which -will not admit of controversy,
that ii minister of my church cannot
preach the Gospel in the State of Mis-
souri, or the Territory of Kansas, but
at the peril of his life! and yet I find
no reproof of these outrages either in
the Philadelphia platform or in any of
the speeches of Mr. Fillmore.
. As to my having examined "all the
evidence” in relation to Mr. Fremont’s
religious creed, I have to say that I have
examined all the evidence, including
Alderman Fu|mer’s statement, and have
exhausted the means of information
within my reach, and have arrived at
the following conclusions:
lst. That Mr. Fremont’: father was
a French Huguenot, and his mother an
American Protestant lady.
2d. That Col. Fremont was born a
Protestant, baptized a Protestant, mar-
ried : Protestant lady, had his children
baptized by a Protestant clergyman, edu-
cates lhem in the Protestant faith, while
he is a Protestant in practice in all the
relations of life.
I admit that he was married by a Cath-
olic clergyman, under circumstances pe-
culiar to himself, and with which the
public is already acquainted.
3d. I conclude that Alderman Ful-
mei-’s statement is altogether untrue.-
Col. Fremont was not in Washington at
the time Fulmer says he conversed with
him, nor within several months of that
time. He was on the Pacific Ocean, or
the Isthmus of Darien, or on the steam-
er George Law, from Aspiufill to New
York City, at the time fixed by Fnlmer.
I should add that upon Col. Fremonts
arrival in New York City he sailed to
Europrwithout Visiting Washington at
all, and that he remained in Europe
more than a year.
I should further add, that the convic-
tion in my mind that Alderman Fulmer
has born false witness against his neigh-
bor, is streugthened by the contradicto-
ry statements that I am credibly inform-
ed he has made concerning this pretend-
ed couversation, and by the further fact
that among his immediate neighbors his
statement is not. believed.
But if I should refuse to vote for Fre-
mont because of his being a Roman
Catholic, I could not vote for Mr. Fill-
more, and for the reason that the '_Cou-
ventiou which nominated Mr. Fillmore
was controlled by Roman Catholics as
well ‘as by Slavery Propagandists. This
is the proof : ,
Two sets of delegates appeared from
the State of Louisians—one Protestant
and the other Roman Catholic-—both de-
manding admission. The Roman Cath-
olic delegation was received, and the
Protestant delegation was rejected.
The reason, I understand, assigned for
this singular admission and rejection
was, that the Roman Catholic delegation
did not acknowledge the temporal su-
premacy of the Pope; but did the Pro-
testant delegation acknowledge the tem-
poral supremacy of the Pope!
There are other objections to my sup-
porting Mr. Fillmore, and as an Ameri-
can, and a man who, at the commence-
ment of his political life. resolutely set
his feet: against the Slave Power, I can-
not be induced by any special pleading,
or by any “ Roorbscks” that may be
hatched in the hot-bed of political zeal.
to vote for any other man for President
than Col. Fremont, inasmuch as I see no
other way of putting an end to the terri-
ble aggressions of the Slave Power.
. K:.n--is as a slave .~‘=nI--.'
I believe upon the election or defeat]
of Col. Fremont will depend the ques-
tions, whether or not the black column
of Slavery will be pushed to the Pacific
Ocean ; whether or not the African slave-
trsde, the sum of all wickedness, will be
revived; and whether or not practical
Slavery shall be forced into the Free
States under decisions of Federal Judges,
appointed as Mr. Fillmore sought to ap-
point and did appoint, some of his Judg-
es; and, in short, whether this country
shall have a constitutional Government
for the Slave Oligarchy; whether or not
we shall recover our lost national honor,
and go on in peaceful progress to the
climax of huinau greatness ; or whether
we shall be destroyed by the aggressive
system of the Slave Power.
Very truly yours,
CIIAUNCEY SiiArr-ER.
Which is the Sectional Party '2
We presume no one places any very
great confidence in the New York Her-
ald, yet after all it is one of the closest
observeis of political events, and withsl
under the most sagacious management of
any paper in the country. The fact that
all its antecedents are democratic, gives
additional force to the plain truths con-
tained in the following article :
The Late Elections and the Presi-
dential Question, in a Sectional View.
—'l‘he late elections in North Carolina,
Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa
in our opinian conclusively establish
these three points, to wit :
First. That. there is "not the ghost of
a chance for Mr. Fillmore,” even in the
South.
Second, That the contest is a section-
al comest—Mr. Buchanan being the
Southern and Col. Fremont the North-
ern candidate.
Third. That the present Buchanan
party is the most. ultra and exclusively
sectional party of any party claiming to
be national that has ever existed in the
United States.
Our first point requires very little ar-
gument to make it good. The late re-_
sults in North Carolina and Kentucky-
two of the three or four Southern States
claimed for Mr. Fillmore-—-tell their
own story. The revolution against the
Fillmoreites in Kentucky is particularly
significant. It was their Southern
stronghold ; and having lost it, what
other Southern State can be expected to
stop at the llncerlain and unreliable half
way house of Fillmore, when the whole
North is rallying for Fremont and the
whole South is moving for Buchanan-'1
The firstreport. from Arkansas, to the
effect that that State had gone for the
Fillmore party was but a momentary
delusioir Arkansas adheres to her
democratic antecedents as infiexibly as
Virginia. In a word, the late results in
the South, in our judgment close up
the accounts of the Know Nothing par-
ty, leave Mr. Fillmore without "the
ghost of ii chance” for a solitary electo-
ral vote, and reduce this Presidential
struggle to an inevitable election by the
people of Fremont or Buchanan.
Our second proposition, which is as
self-evident as the first, is denied by the
nigger-driving democracy in reference to
their candidate; but we shall hold them
to it. They would have us believe that
Fremont is the only sectional candidate
in the field. Mr. Fillmore has told us
so, Mr. Buchanan has told us the same
thing, and they have both recommended
a revolutionary nullification of the willof
the American people should Fremont be
elected. We say that upon the Kansas
question the sectional issue between
Fremont and Buchanan is as clear as
white and black. Fremont goes for
making Kansas a free State; Buchanan
is pledged to'Goveruor Wise and the
Southern nigger drivers of the Cincin-
nati Convention, to make it a Slave
State, Upon this well-defined issue,
Mason and Dixon's line and the Ohio
river have been made by the South the
dividing barrier between the two great
parties of the campaign, notwiihstand- r
ing the Southern party are as free to act
and are as active, on the North side of
the line as within the limits oftheir own
peculiar jurisdiction. .
Our third proposition, declaring the
present Buchanan party we most ultra
sectional of any party claiming to be
national that has ever existed in the
United States, we shall endeavor to
make as clear as either of the other two.
There is nothing. in the history of
Fremont, nothing in the platform he
occupies, nothing in his letter of accep-
tance, to justify these Southern appre-
hensions snd these democratic accusa-
tions against him, that he is an aboli-
tionist—t.hat his election will be the tri-
umph of abolition principles; and that,
in anticipation of being driven to the
well by his administration, the South,
in the event of his election, should and
will recede from the Union, and set up
a Southern confederacy, Kansas or no
Kausas—peace or war. On the contra-
ry, the only issue upon slavery which
renders Fremont unacceptable and an
object of fear to our Southern secession
democracy, in Kansas. Upon the Fu-
gitive Slave law, slavery in the District
of Columbia, and the constitutional and
lawful rghis of slavery wherever it ex-
ists in the Union, his position is quite as
good,and even more conservative than
that of Mr. Buchanan. We say more
conservative, because Mr. Buchanan is
the champion of certain fillibustering
projects. which, _if followed up, may
prove more disastrous to the South, be-
fore the end of a single administration
than all the Northern abolition agitation
of the last forty years,
Upon Kansas, however, our modern
niggerized democracy. from Mr. Bu
chanan at Wheatland, and Mr. Toomhs
in the United States Senate, down to all
the little organs and stump oi-aiors of
the party throughout the country, are
proclaiming that "Fremont is is sectional
candidate,” and that “his election will
and ought to be the end of the Union.”
How sectional? Is his position in favor
of Kansas as a free State in any degree
more sectional than the position of Mr.
Bur-Hanan in behalf of the admission of
But we are
told anal ~n his |'lt‘('€ an fifteen Scales of
the Union will be ignored. How so '.'
Southern State, excepting Kentucky.”
But we ask again, why not’? And we
are answered, “because the Fremont ab-
olition party dare not attempt it--they
would be lynched, tarred and feathered,
or hung up on the first. tree, or drummed
out of the State, and they know it.”
Admitting all this to be true, we can-
not see that it proves Fremont to be
more a sectional candidate than Buchan-
an. On the other hand, we think it
shows the boot to be upon the other leg,
and that the present Buchanan party of
the South is seriously the most ultra sud
deplorsbly sectional party that has ever
existed among us. Mr. Cobb of Geor-
gia, and Mr. Senator Benjamin of Lou-
siana, for example—both slave-holders
we believe, and both in favor of the elec-
tion of Buchanan and the admission of
Kansas as a slave State, and both in fa-
vor of secession and revolution in the
event of Fi-emont’s election—have just
been enlightening the people of Maine
on democratic principles, and on the sec-
fionalism of Fremont and his masses of
Northern supporters. Mr. Cobb and
Mr. Benjamin are free to go and speak
-in this way. in every hole and comer of
the North—free to vilify Fremont, his
party, his platform, his supporters, and
free to preach secession as the democrat-
ic alternative should the will of the peo-
ple be against Buchanan ; but how is it
down in Georgia or Lousiana? Very
likely, if ii Northern man in Savannah
were to mount the stump for Fremont,
he \vould'be stopped by the fighting
''democracy’’ of the pIace,as Mr. Brooks
stopped the mouth of Mr. Sumner in the
Senate chamber, and very likely, if Mr.
Cobb were present. he would not inter-
poee to save she audacious intruder from
the vengeance of his fellow citizens.—
And as with Mr. Cobb, so with Mr.
Benjamin. Is not this, then, the real
sectional pai-ty—-this ultra-despotic and
sectional democracy of the South, which
upon Kansas affairs, throughout the
South, seals the mouth and the press of
the opposition at the peril of Lynch
law '3
The truth is, that from the very foun-
dation of the government, and in its or-
ganization, seetionalism was, has been,
is, and will continue to be,.the great co-
hesive pany principle of the South.-
Concede that is due to the great law of
self preservation, the fact of this sec-
tionslisni must be_ admitted. We may
trace it through all our Presidential elec-
tions, as the fundamental doctrine of
Southern politicians, even in those elec-
tions where the North had no suspicion
that the South were acting as the South
against the North. It has-only been
since Martin Van Buren was run as “the
Northern man with Southern princi-
ples” that the “fixed fact” of this sec-
tional spirit of the South has become
patent to all the world. From that day
to this, the South, with each successive
election, have insisted upon stronger and
broader concessions to Southern rights,
and have secured them, not alone upon
the slavery question, but upon the tariff
and upon internal improvements. Upon
the matter of rivers and harbors, how-
ever, we must allow that the democracy
of Congress, disregardful of the Cincin-
nati platform and Mr. Piei-ce‘s vetoes
are looking out for Northern votes, and
working for them like beavers
The Kansas question, involving a
more decided concession to Southern
slavery than any which has yet been de-
manded, has resulted in a more definite
and sharply defined sectional contest
than any in the history of the country—
that is all. A very large body of the
people of the North say, “No! we can-
not surrender Kansas to Southern slave-
ry. That is asking too much. We will
vote for that man whose policy is to ad-
mit Kansas as a free State ;” and ins-
tantly the South is a unit and her party
leaders threaten disunion as the penalty
of Fremont’s election. Which, then, if
there be but one sectional party on the
course-—which is it, the Buchanan or
the Fremont party I
Our readers of all parties , understand

We hold that the South is entitled to
Kansas, or to a full equivalent in an ad-
ditional slave State or two, according to
the compromises and the checks and bal-
ances of the constitution; but we also
contend that this Fremont movement
compreliends a wholesome general polit-
ical revolution, independently ol liiggers
which ought to be carried out; and the
sooner the better. Lastly, while we ad-
mit that this is a sectional contest, we
must also confess that this thing of sec-
rionslism, in its most obnoxious, uncou-
stilutlonal and dangerous form, is most
fully developed in the sectional despot.
