PRESIDENT FILLMORE.

A correspondent Of the Mo. Republican,
furnishes that paper with the following ar.
.icle upon WILLARD FILLMORE, under the
forms OF our Constitution, now President Of
the United Statcs:-
The effect Of the demise of Gen. TAYLOR, in
bringing MiLLARD FILLMORE, of New York, in
10 the Presidency of the United States, is one
which should produce no uneasiness, especially
not in the Wing party of the country. Mr. FLL-
MORE is man Of intelligence and OF frmness-a
Northern man, yet not a sectional mana decided
Wing, OF long experience, consistent life, and oil
approved fidelity. From the ranks OF the people,
from the condition Of poor clothisrs boy, he
has been called from one grade Of public service
to another, until, at length, he is called TO the
highest office within the reach Of human ambition
No one need fear, none need hope, il any were so
disposed, that q life Of undertaking adherence to
Wing principles, thus crowned with honvrs, il
likely TO be materially changed by the crcum-
stances of the new position 10 which Mr.. FILL
MORE has been 50 unexpectedly called.
The excitable and jealous South need have no
approximations that Mr.. FILLMORE will fail, in the
slightest degree, to maintain their constitutional
rights. Tothe political conduct of the Abolition
lists, he has been opposed. and TO their votes no
owed his defeat as The Wing candidate for the
Gorernorshp Of New York in 1874.
As 10 the Western States, ifihey had a friend
in Gen TAYLOR, they will find no less a lriendli.
ness in Mr.. FILLMORE. Those who feel an inter-
est in the improvements Of the Western Rivers
and Lakes, may be assured that Mr. FILLMORE
will not suspend all Improvements, as did Van
Buren,, nor pocket and veto bills passed by Con-
eress Tor the improvement OF the Western, Rivers,
as did Tyler and Polk.
MIR. FILLMORE was born in Cayupa county Nav
