TIE Future.

l. is too early to speculate upon the future.
Partisan controversy is hushed for the while,
and sectional divisions have been thrown a.
side over the grave OF tho lamcntod dead.-
The sad event which has shrouded the ia.
ton in gloom, mas stilled the voice OF angry
coatcntion for a season, and the thoughts OF
all arc turned in direction calculated to in
spirc deep emotions aud solemn reflection
But this state OF things can be but transient.
Tho gloom of the moment will pass away
and the holier feelings of nature which are
now uppermost will give place to those so
suddenly displaced in the bosoms who have
participated in the fierce strife at Washing
ton. Already speculation is oilcat, aad we
hGyo rumor upon rumor OF changes in the
Cabinet, and in the line of policy TO be pur-
sued by the new administration. The pros
poets of the eompromise measures are can
vassed, and in some quarters partizanship
has shown its hideous form.
That the future is full of interest and anx
iety, cannot be concealed. 1t was so preyi-
Gus to the death of Gen. Taylor and that e.
vent. has tended to complicato matters, and
TO increase tho apprehension of the people.
While all have the most unbounded conf
dcuco in his successor, they regard his ge-
ographioul position as not SO favorable for
right quarter, as was that Of his predecessor,
bat we think, that even this can BIO overcome
and that tho frank aud firm, yet oonciliato.
ry course of Mr.. Fillmore, will have tenden-
cy to creute an "cra OF good feeling" and
bring the sections to an amicGble understan-
ding upon the matters Of difference which
now agitates the councils of the nation. This
opinion seems now to predominste, and
when It once obtains a hold of the public
mind, it will do much towards bringing about
"A result SO desirable on every account. Mr..
Fillmore is known to bS a conservative Wing
FREQ from those tltraisms which have
brought the country TO It's present crisis. lie
is finn friend Of freedom possesses an ar
dent attachment TO the Union, and believes
In carving out tho constitution as II Is, and
of doing right toward all sections under it.
Coming into the Executive Chair with such
a reputation, we look for a favorable iniiu-
encc in arrostng the distracting controversy
which. through seven months OF the session
of Congress, has disgraced the nation, and
alcnated the affections Of different sections
OF the Union, and which has so much threat
oned the integrity Of our institutions. We
look, therefore to the future with hope with
a strong confidence that the clouds which
now are dark and threatening in our political
sky. will be dissipated aud that calm and sun
shine will take their pace.--lBuif Com.
The character and sentiments Of the new
President are sufficiently well known in this
locality. Wo need say nothing to add to
tho confidence universally felt in his patriot
ism. Millard Fillmore is a man in whom un-
limited confidence may be reposed. Ho has
long been in public life in the councils Of
this State. and of tho nation. Ho has al
ways proved himself equal to the discharge
of every duty dovolved upon him by the pub
lie. His abilities are ofhigh order; his expert |
eneo in public affairs has been large; his
Of tho public men Of the coun |
try is intimate and extensive. lie has al |
ways been distinguished for openness ana
