Mr. Fillmore.

In this connection will mention a cir constance of some little importance now, which came within the personal knowledge ot the writer, during short stay, some years ago, in MT. Fillmore's town, Buffalo, New York, and which may, therefore, be relied upon as strictly authentic. At a meeting, one evening, of Young Mems Whig Club, ,at Buffalo, during Presidential campaign, one of the young speakers, (and rtheyswere all young,) had been nveighing in rather bitter terms against Southern policy and Southern institutions. Speaking of slavery, he bore down terribly upon the South as being disposed to continue what they knew to be an evil, 65c., and using other arguments which, at that time, were confined to those Democrats who were pioneers in the construction of the anti slavery party. There were perhaps from four to six hundred present, and the en- trance of Mr. Fillmore had not been mo- ticed until he rose for the apparent purpose ot leaving. When it became known that he was in the room, the assemblage would not be pacitled until he took the stand. There was, of course, some fluttering among the young orators, when they discovered that Mir. Fillmore had been listener, and in spite of his entreaty, they all left the stand. After complimenting them he pro- ceeded to give brief account of the po- litical disputes and differences between the North and South; going into the matter historically, and taking up the points seria- tam. His audience were highly instructed and gratified, cheering vociferously as he proceeded, until he came to speak of South ern institutions and the agitation of the anti-slavery doctrines. As nearly as I can recollecr he said, in substance, "Young gentlemen: We live under peculiar gov ernment which came into existence under peculiar circumstances, and in our political and moral action we must conform 10 those circumstances. We have a right, and it is our duty, to endeavor to regulate national affairs by our political action. But the internal domestic or municipal regulations of the other States of the Union than our own, we should not as good citizens, en- deavor to interfere with, however obiec- tonable in our view they may be, or obnoxious to our moral or political senti- menus. we hdVo ~ete4 fOI ourselves wtrn regard 10 this institution when it existed among us, and have therefore done our duty, and its perhaps questionable whether we do not prevent rather than persuade others who might follow our example, by assuming an attitude of dictation. make these remarks, he said, because regretted to hear some expressions which have fallen from the lips of your speakers" This part of his speech, if l remember was not ap- plauded, but produced much thought and some new views among the young men upon that subject, as evinced in their con- versational discussions afterwards.

North Carolina,

From what we can hear (says the Peters l burg Intellgencer) we have but little doubt that the Democracy have carried the day in North Carolina, by elecung their candidate for Governor, and perhaps majority of the General Assembly.
 For this result we were not altogether unprepared, for we were aware that there were elements at work in that State which, unless composed, would be fatal to the Whigs in this election. The extension of the Right of Suffrage for members of the Senate has, no doubt, divided the Whig party in certain parts of the State, and thus accomplished the only end which the De- mocracy desired to attain by mounting that hobby.
 Speaking of the mode that the election was conducted in by our opponents, the last Raleigh Register says:
 "THE LATE CAMPAIGN.-ln all the annals of party chcanery and unprincipled parti- san warfare, we have never known can vass conducted with such recklessnesS and venom, and such an utter disregard of the rules of fairness and propriety, as have marked the course of the Locofoco press and leaders of the State in the excited campaign through which we have just passed. The Convention, indeed, which assembled in this city, set an example to the underlings which was greedy initiated to the last; and if ever a set of men, acting in any capacity, ex- posed the hollowness of their pretensions and the deformity of their purposes, by their acts, it was that Convention. It was an attempt again to put the fruits of our fathers wisdom in the political market, to be huck- stered off for party profit. It was an effort to build up, by deception, the broken and desperate fortunes of Locofocoism in North Carolina. It was an attempt, by willy strat- gem, 10 gain possession of the citadel, from which the hosts of faction have so often been beaten in the open field of political warfare, and from which, we firmly believe and trust, they have again been driven in disgrace. It was a lamentabe substitution of the arts and crafts of demagoguism for statesmanship and fair dealing. Faithfully, we have said, did the underlngs do their part. Nostone has been left unturned to ac- complsh their purposes. and no altitice has been considered too low to be em 1raced." IAs in HUH. JVii soon F. J. Chambliss. near Port Gibson, Mis- bv K.
