PRESIDENT FILLMORE.

AEs14OEbNA EAAANHON H.G
II the hopes Of many Of The leading Northern
nenaces be successful, we may despair Of a satis-
factory adjustment Of the slavery question: and Of
the Union ITSELF To let readers all the spec
ulatons on the subject, we make few short extracts
We premise, however, that the papers from which
quote, have strong leaning for Seward, the rival
and bitter opponent of Mr.. Fillmore aud may not do
justice to the future course of the latter.
The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer says:
"Gen. Taylor's policy, while eminently national,
was essentially in conformity with the sentiment OF
cede its disinterested in Mr. Fill
more the South would probably denounce it as North
ern abolitionsm. The difference in the position Of
the two men, far settlement Of the slavery is
sue is concerned was greatly in favor of Gen. lay
lor. Mr.. Fillmore will approach the same subject
under tar greater embarrassmens, and with tar less
prospect Of conciiatng and harmonizng public SEN
timent 1t would be idle, of course, to speculate
upon the policy he will pursue. Of one thing, how
ever, the country may be well assured -he is dis
Greet, moderate. national satesman IN all his con-
duct and in all his sympathies."
TO this among other things Of like character, the
Courier adds:
"The great mass of the people Of the State Of
New York we'll as of the other Northern and
Western States, are far more generally and decidedly
Slavery in their sentiments and their proposes,
than they We're two years ago and they would not
regard as satisfactory now, declarations from their
public servants which were so then. How tar MIR.
Fillmore may have kept up with this advance in the
public sentiment, to what extent he may be intiu-
enced by it, can of course as yet only be matters Of
vague conjecture
The free soil Albany Evening Journal (Seward' s
organ,) speaks in rather threatening tone as follows
elf, in succeeding to Gen. TayIor's high office,
Mr.. Fillmore becomes heir also, to his principles,
adopts his measures, and vindlcates his Pocy' he
shall havehe Jealous and heatysupport OF this jour
nal; sor in crisis momentous as this, s,wehave no
memory for personal injuries. If the President be
but loyal himself-if, like Gen. Taylor he will re-
sist the extension of Slavery and uphold the banner
of Freedom; and if he will set his face like flint
against the reasonable exhorters for disunon, he may
look u.s. and those with whom act, for faithful
and efficient support. And, it may be proper to say
to others, what Mr.. Fillmore himself knows, that
our support will cost him nothing.
IS But while, for the sake of Freedom, and in obe-
dence to our duty as whg, we are ready to make
any personal sacrifice, we shall! stop short if there
be. in the President, any of Principle or any
compromise Of Freedom. We do not anticipate eth
e for the principles we cherish, and the synna'hlcs
that govern us, are Identical with those which Mr..
Fillmore has professed and acted upon. He has
only, therefore, President, to be faithful to himself
to ensure the support Of those BY whom he has ever
been sustained.''
! again, the Phladephia Nosi!. American says:
; '.Mard Fillmore is Whig of stern and tried prin-
cples; decided friend to the protection OF do
mestic industry; unco":ro,uisngy hostile to The er-
tension @ sarey into territory free, though un-
trammelIcd by sectional prejud;ces; devoted to the
Union and its welfare and its glory and of approved
ability and fidelity. Representing party he will,
nevertheless prove true the interests of the entire
nation; and, by maintaining the poHcy-the broad,
comprehensive, wise and jus, policy-n'arked out By
President Iaylv, he will secure to himself the es-
TEEN and affection Of the people,
If these Northern Wing papers are right the new
President will at array against himself the whole
South, and the Union will be shaken. May he have
the patriotism and good to do justice and give
peace to the Union. His first step may save Oh
wreck the Union. Let him, then, firmly and wisely
look over the whole ground, before he moves.
