GF The federal party has triumphed and
Ger. Taylor will be Presiden. We will see
in short time what he will recommend, and
think the fears Of the party, whose candidate
Taylor was, will be realized. His actions
may be less palitable than we're the actions Of
John Tyler when he vetoed those bank bills.
If that party is again SUCKED, let 1t not say
that Taylor is traitor, for they went him
blind.

The Enquirer keeps portion of the letter of Mr..
Fillmore in its columns. 1t suppresses entirely
that part of it in which he refuses to pledge himself
to vote for any ofthe propositions submitted in the

duct as would DO approved of in a political adver-
sary?
1t may be answered. that the Enquirer published
the wh"le letter when it frs, appeared but this is
no answer at all. Those who see it in its columns,
as appears there now for the first ,ime will ne

Hon. John Gayle:
DEAR SiR: | have your
letter Of the 18th inst, but
my official duties have
been so pressing that have
been compelled to neglect
my private correspondence.
j had also determined to
write no letters for publ
cation bearing upon the
contest in the approaching
canvass. But as you de-
sire some information for
your own satisfaction in re-
gard to the charges brought
against me from the South,
on the slave question, /
have concluded TO state
briefly my position.
While l was in Congress
there was much agitation
on the right Of petition
My votes will doubtless be
found recorded uniformly
in favor Of it. The rule up
on which I acted was, that
every citizen presenting a
respectful petition to the
body that by the constitu
ton had the power to grant
or refuse the prayer of it,
was entitled to be heard ;
and therefore the petition
ought to be received and
considered. If right and
reasonable, the PRAYER
should be granted; hut if
wrong or unreasonable, il
should be denied. / think
all my votes, whether on
the reception Of petitions
or the consideration of re-
solutions, will be found con-
sistcnt with this rule.
1 have none of my Con-
gressional documents here,
they being at my former
residence in Buffalo, nor
have ! access to any papers
or memoranda to refresh
my recollection ; but think
al some time while in Con-
gress. ] took occasion to
state in substance my views
on the subject Of slav cry in
the States. Whether the
remarks were reported or
not, l am unable to say, but
the substance was, that 1
regarded slavery as an e.
vii, but one with which the
national government had
nothing to do-that by the
constitution Of the United
States, the whole power
over that question was YES
ted in the several States
where the institution was
tolerated Ifthey regard
ed il as blessing, they had
a constitutional right 10 en-
joy il, and if they regarded
it as an evil they had the
10 apply the remedy. /
did not conceive that Con-
gross had any power over
it, or was in any way re-
sponsible for its continuance
in the several States where
it existed. i have enter
tanned no other sentiments
on this subject since / ex-
amincd it sufficiently 10
form an opinion, and / doubt
not that all my acts, p ublic
and private, will be found
in accordance with this
view.
i have the honor to be,
