Men of the South!
Why Falter You? The America, which arrived a few days ago at Halifax, brings us the news that Mazzini, the Italian socialist, and friend of Kossuth, had announced his intention of immigrating to this country. Mazzini is the same individual who, writing to a friend in this country, appealing to him for aid to emancipate Italy, said:
"Twenty-four millions of emancipated Italians will be twenty-four millions Abolitionists to aid their brethren in America."
Men of the South! are you willing to intrust your property to the keeping of such men? If not, vote for Fillmore. Are you willing to allow such men to make laws regulating your property? If not, then vote for Fillmore. Are you willing that your institutions shall suffer from the influences of such men? If not—then vote for Fillmore.
Your only safety is with the American party. Then rally to its standard bearer; with it you are safe from the encroachments of the Italian Abolitionist. Then why falter, when the line of duty is so plainly marked out before you?
