From the Cincinnati Enquirerl


We make few extracts from the Washington letter
of the louisville Courier, to show the position held by
Mr. FILLMORE on the compromise and the admission of
New Mexico As State:
As to the most important question to the country
the plan of adjustment proposed by the committee of
thirteen it will receive the cordial appreciation of Mr.
Fillmore, and the Cabinet that he may call around him.
As the presiding officer of the Senate he has had fair
and full opportunity of hearing its merits, well
those of the late Cabinet thoroughly discussed and he
has the immovabe conclusion that the safety of
the Unon the prosperity of the people, and the peace
Of the nation demand that the adjustment should be
adopted This is well understood both sides of the
Senate Chamber and it has terminated all the friends
OF the Union with hope that to some extent aevates
the thew felt the death of General Taylor
Never in my life have such change in short
time.
"The disunonsts abolitionists and factionists both
from the North the South are pictures of despair
They know that the influence of Mr.. Fillmore's Admin
stratiOn will be exerted in perpetuating the free ns.
tons of country and in giving peace and queness
to the protracted agitation and excitement which for
the basest selfish purposes few cunning demagOgues
plunged the nation in, by having had a confidence
posed in them by the lamented General Taylor, which
they never deserved.
= To Congress he will commit the
adjustment of the slavery question: without any inter-
ference on his part other than the expression of the
hope that they will settle it in that conservative spirit
that will restore confidence both sections of the Unon
and place Its renewed agitation hereafter beyond the
reach OF Benton Seward, Hale, Chase and their
ciates"
On the application for admission into the Union by
New Mexico, the writer says:
The succession falling into the hands of as true and
Interchangeable wing is MIR. Fillmore, dissipates all
apprehension the shedding of blood between the
federal army in New Mexico and the American citizens
OF the State of Texas Upon those troubled he
will ponr the oil of peace, and his first and most
endeavor will adjust the boundary question
to supersede the necessity of unknd feelings be-
tween the two communities So also may confidently
regard the shameful attempt force New Mexico into the
Union State, before she is qualified for
torlal government, as at an end. MIR. Fillmore has
looked upon this measure with regret than any
thing else that has TRANSFERRED he took the office
Vice. President He regarded 1t attempt to tram
pie upon the spirit and letter of the Constitution and
measure directly insulting to the Intelligence of the
whole Southern people, that it should not be counte-
nanced for a moment. New Mexico, therefore, will get
what her people only desred-a territorial government
thus respecting the feelings and constitutional rights
of all the slave States in the Union.n
We inclined to think that this correspondent knows
what he is writing about and does speak random.
He adds to the above that Mr.. Clay will be frequently
consulted by Mr.. Fillmore, and his advice generally
TAKEN
A writer from Washington to the New York Tribune,
thus speaks of the effect Mr. Fillmore's position
will have on the Compromise bill:
" Whatever may be the wisdom impolicy of urging
the Compromise BILL the point is by all accounts already
determined The President is fully prepared to
frame his Cabinet, with view to its success, of which
the offer of its leadership to Mr. Webster is frank and
a bold proof. The Southern wings loudly approve oil
this offer regarding concession Southern inter-
ests and guaraRtee against what they pleased to
call the nroads of the North"
We have not seen any statement coming from Wash
ington which expresses different the
The new Administration will not adhere the plan
commended by General Taylor; that abandoned, and
the plan of the committee of thirteen something
lar, will he recommended hy Mr.. Fillmore.
The admission of New Mexico as a State, will not be
viewed with any favor by the Administration That

Here she goes and there she goes" is the present
motto of the Wing party.
