President FilImorc.

President Fillmore.
There is general anxiety. now that General Tay
tor is dead. to know Ws.at are the sentiments and
what will be the course of his successor in relation
to the compromise bill now before the Senate.
Wing paper has not long since been established IN
Albany. New York, called the State Register, which
il has been said aud believed, reflects the opinions OF
Mr. Fillmore ON this important question. That pa
per is in favor of settlement of the boundary ques-
ton between Texas and New Mexico, well as IN
favor Of territorial governments and other features
of the compromise Our Washington correspondent,
IN his letter published to-day is also Of the opinion
that The new President will favor the compromise.
and that his support of that measure may give
strength to the Wing party, many of whom in Ind-
ana we expect to see stump Jim Crow" like flock

lowing the views Of Mr.. Filmores organ. to
which invite the attention of our readers, and
which comes very nearly embodying our own senii-
ments. The Albany Journal says:
| Every impartial observer must be aware, that the
necessity for action in relation to New Mexico
is most pressing-more so than anything else. And
if Congress will not admit her State, as are
confident they will not. what is to be done! Some
thing must be. Her boundaries should at least be
settled. We doubt whether that can be done as a
separate measure. After looking the ground over
most carefully, we have to the conclusion that
her boundaries cannot be practically settled in any
other than territorial bill. A territorial bill then
let us have We are told that will involve the ques-
ton of the Wimo and that territorial bill pass

al bill say, either with or without the Wllmot

what we want; we want settlement, and whoever
lets the application Of the Wilmot TO territory
where slavery can never 60, stand in the way Of
settlement. does not, in cur judgment, consult the
true interests of his country. The Presidents plaT
for the admission Of New Mexico as State has be-
come mpractcable, and unless territorial bill car
pass, such an one too will satisfy Texas, New
Mexico must be left to her. to civil war. w,

that, unless bill be passed, organizing terrific
rial governments tor New Mexico and Utah, nothing
will be done this session of Congress- except per
haps to admit California. And something NOR,
should be dune.
