I have taken some pains to inform myself of
the state Of feeling which exists in Congress
towards President Fillmore and his Cabinet and
become satisfied that the fair-minded members
Of both branches, and Of both political parties,
q omit as unworthy of mention the aboltionists
and disunonists,) entertain high respect for
them, both as individuals and as an administra-
tion. Thoroughgoing Wings are enthusiastic in
their support Of the Chief Magistrate, and the

renee, have carried him TO height whence his
fame and renown will now radiate the world
