~ for " 10 say that have enjoyed 70 little the honor

70 deny the accuracy Of his description.
We owe duly. however. towards Mr. Fill

to adjust this complicated and dangerous question
of the day, and to give peace to distracted country we
hope we shall be among The first to appreciate his ser
vices aud give him credit for the good which he shall &C.

We cannot but see that great efforts are making by
the iree-soi and ultra wing presses induce him TO car
ny out the policy Of the last administration
The New York Courier and Enquirer, which has, for
some time past been devoted to the interests OF Seward
ian and free soil. says:
No one, 30 far know. doubts that Mr. Fillmore is
= thorough and dey oted wing. that We will pursue such
course shall conform the sen,inent of

escualy, the just safe. and national policy the ius,r
ous Taylor While he does this he will receive the cordial
ana elective support Of all sections OF The WING party in
this State as well ~ elsewhere We have certainly

General Taylor was rapidly acquiring Arm and un-
conquerabe hold upon the confidence and The affections Of
tho American people We believe that President Fillmore
IKE General Taylor will favor the immediate and uncon
ditiona admission oil Califnia-tha he viii mend
the admission a New Mexico whenever she shall present
herself with republican constitution with evidence
that she has the requisite number of inu thai
he viii not permit Of New Mexico be violently
seized occupied by Texas until Congress sh have dc
cided that Texas is the rahfu Of her soil Upon
these three cardinal points the policy General Taylor
been distinctly marked out, and il he had lived il would
have been, 50 far depended upon his action,
ull effect
The New York Evening Post, ultra free soil Journal
holds the following language:
This idea OF restoring the unity the whig party by
conce nrang its principal LEADERS tho ground of the
Compromse, is bnt dream The leaders may take their
stand this platform, but the people will follow them
and what Is wanted is union OF the leaders, union
of the masses which compose the party.
Again, is it likely that Mr. Fillmore, with tho fate Of
hose northern politicians before his eyes, whose political
fortunes wrecked on the Missouri CompromisewhN
the fate Webster before his eyes, who has his
northern popularity by coming in favor of MI
Chy's Compromise, and~ho is struggling desperately to
regain it, by speeches in Washington and speeches in
Boston, by letters to the people of kennsbec aud letters
10 the people Of Newburypor aud pamphlets written
his suggestion by Professor Stusnis probable, ask
that Mr. Fillmore will directly the danger
These consldcrn for Mr. Fillmore weigh
questions for him How he will them
we do not pretend to whether he will take them
all into the He may confne himself higher and
nober views Of the question: in which there can be

this article show that the balance of from

CLAY.
The Boston Atlas, ultra wing paper. thus speaks:
change oil men however of little conseq uence
farther than gives indication of change OF policy
Upon the absorbing question of slavery in the Territories
President Tsylos plan the plan to which nine-tenths OF
the whig party aud believe twohrds Of tho people
|shs free States, have committed themselves, and which
|thev approve That plan, believe. MIR. Fillmore spo
proves Those who anxious 10 have the omnibus bil
pass representing him being In favor OF that
and hey do it their purposes We stated
yesterday that the commencement OF An ADMINISTRATION
was always the critical period oft If commences
WELL gains great point and has no steps TO retrace
lie likely that The President would commit himself
Ito the Unpopular omnibus blu before Congress- bill
which morally certain never pass. and one which,
wing patty TO endorse, would throw them into
Ia IN lnority in every northern STATE. H.
We make these remarks because we have any doubt
az 10 the course which President Fillmore viii pursue The
path OF safety Ia the present crisis Is the one beaten and
tfod by General Taylor and that the which be
ievc Mr. Fillmore will substantially follow
What course Mr. Fillmore will pursue we cannot posi-
lively say We know whether he will permit the free
and abolition Influences induce him TO pursue that
policy which Frustrated the last administration Whether
admonshed by the danger which ianatca counses have
brought upon the nation he will review the past and
adopt for the future do not pretend to
predict But thing to be clear. no matter what
policy Mr. Fillmore may pursue the question which
now agitatt the country and that is, he will present to
1.-The country the old fashioned and often federal
policy. lie may sustain the plan of General Tayors
cabinet he may his rghtfu influence in aid OF the
adj smen, OF the COMMITTEES OF Thirteen; but upon all
other points we feel assured tina, shall hear more
kof snior the old battle between federalism and
democracy will have TO be fought again.
We annex the remarks Of the Merchants Day Book
lin order show the uncertainty which exists to the
course of the new President;
Our knowledge, however, Of the freeyexpressed opin
ions and the welknown political character OF Mr. Fill
more enables conjecture with probability, that
1.-The death of General Taylor and the OF Presden
Fillmore will be productive Of radical and extensive
|chapRes II IL well known that unfortunate difference
|of opinion existed between General Taylor and tho most
shed wings, in and Of Congress on the present
between North tho South imay be safely
