We have no room TO day, but shall publish to-
morrow, the editorial in the N. Y. Express and
the correspondence between James Brooks ESQ.,,
the editor, and Mr.. Fillmore as 10 MIR. F.'s opin-
ion on the subjec, OF athe transportation removal
or disposal OF persons held as slaves from one
slaveholding STATE 10 another"
In his letter Mr.. F. says:
81 am not aware that this question has ever
been discussedi n Congress, or was ever presented
for The consideration Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States before 1874. In that year the
celebrated case from Mississippi was decided, and
Mr.. Justice Mclean gave an elaborate opinion
on this point, in which the Chief Justice concur
red. he came to the conclusion that the consti.
tulional power over this matter was vested in the
several States, and not in Congress. So far as
my knowledge extends, this opinion carried con-
viclion TO every unprejudiced mind; and the
question was considered settled Al any rate
this was my own opinion then, and have seen
no cause 10 change 1t since. Should do SO,
should not hesitate 10 declare it"
Mr. Fillmore misfepresents the Mississippi
case-bul if he means by his construction 10 re-
cant his abominable abolition sentiments on a
single point We are glad tina, The South has forced
from him repentance 10 that partial extent.
We would add here that Mr.. Fillmore says
nothing, in this leler, of transportation of slaves
between The ports in the Distr,et Of Columbia and
other ports OF The United States. In Dec, 1888,
he voted 10 suspend the rules 10 enable the aboli-
zionist Slade TO move resolution which denounc-
ed the slave.trade from said District 10 distant
paris OF the country, as involving "an outrageous
violation Of human rights, disgrace TO The coun-
try by whose laws il is sanctioned" and as "call-
ing for The immediate inlerposion OF legislative
authority for It's suppression" Fillmore has not
yet relracled or explained this vote Of insult and
injury 10 the Shareholders of the District OF Co
lumba, the robbins OF whose property and The
destruction OF whose rights would be fatal
stepping.s'oue for the aggression and sacrifice Of
Inc Southern States.
We shall sum up his words and votes 10 show
that he was, in The language OF Mr.. Clay, a real
ultra abolilonist"- and we shall demonstrate that
there still remain heavy ani-savery sins unre.
pened OF, 10 make him unworthy OF the support
Of he Soulh We regret that we have no room
10 day.
We trust that Dr. Pannil will accede TO The
Iequcs, of correspondent and lie, the people Of
The whole Union know what are Gen. Taylor's
views on the important subject referred TO:
