Executive and Legislative branches of the
Government. Never was there more &C.
casion for guidance from Omnis cence, and
for forbearance and kindness among all
our people.
Mr. Fillmore has large experience,
great tolerance and true and noble heart,
to aid him in the discharge Of his duties.
He will be found true to the people of the
whole country and if there is any failure
in concilia'ing the country, and in re-
storing order out Of confusion, and peace
ont Of strife, it will not rest at his door
We hope that Congress will harmonic
with him, and cooperate with him in set
ting the many perplexed questions which
now SO urhappily divide the country and
disturb its peace and prosperity.
The New York Courier says:
Mr. Fillmore is man in whom the
whole Union may repose firm and just
confidence. His life has been, less con-
spicuodsly than General Tsy lor's, devoted
TO the service of the whole Union. and he
is no less thoroughly than he, national in
all his feelings, in all his principles, and
in all his conduct he is familiar with
public affairs, and has discharged the du-
ties Of every station which lie has been
summoned 10 fill, with ability, dignity and
success. We feel the utmost confidence
that, so far as may depend upon him, the
high duties Of the great office into which
he has been so solemnly inducted, will be
discharged with the most entire faithful
ness and the most patriotic devotion to the
preservation and the welfare of our glo-
rious Union.
The Globe (Locofoco) remarks:
The talents and business qualifications
of Mr. Fillmore are of high order, and
we believe that they who hope or fear
that he may manifest any sectional bias,
will be disappointed. Such is our in
formation Of bis opinions, indeed such our
knowledge Of the man, that we do moi hes
itate to predict that he will give no cause
for the South TO continue its reproaches
against the North, and afford no counte-
nance to the fanatical agitators of the
North. lie will have glorious oppor,u.
nifty Of enrolling his name high on the lis,
of our patriots, if he but follows the
course which they who know him best
are confident he will pursue that
which shall soonest and most effectualy
tranquilize the public mind, and insure
the perpetuity Of the Union.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 10Th,
says:
Millard Fillmore, of New York--one
of the ablest and purest men in the coun-
try-wilI succeed General Taylor, as
President OF the United States. He en-
tiers upon the responsible duties at crit
ical moment in orr history, but we have
faith in his iirmness and integrity, and be-
lieve that the best interests Of the nation
will be safe in his hands. Let him at
least be judged fairly and kindly.

II has been trumpcted from one end Of the State
To the other-for political efIect-that Mr. Ewing,
Secretary Of the Interior, had by his decision, rob-
he'd the people OF the Des Moines Valley Of their
lust rights. We deem it unnecessary to defend the
course of Mr. Ewing in this affair. We shall prove
however,hy the following, that even Gen. Dodge did
not, at the time the Grant was made, claim that it
extended above the Racoon Forks Of the Des
Moines. The first section Of the bill introduced by
Mr. Dodge, on the 18th Jan. 1876, reads thus:-
De i, enscted BY the Senate and House Of Representa-
tves ofthe United ates OF America in Congress assem
bed, That there be and hereby is granted to the Terrific

No inference can be drawn from this section Of
the Bill that the grant extends further than the Rae
coon fork. But in the absence Of any other suita-
BILE "hobby,'' Dodge, Jones and the small 'uns, were
obliged to mount this. Get of! get off! gentlemen,
you are on poor s'hobby,' this time. You can't

SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE GRAtN.--A number of
gentlemen were dining together the other day,
among whom OF the Palmetto State,
when the subject of dissolution of the Union came
up in conversation. The Nullifer grew warm in
the discussion and declared that the dissolution Of
the Union was a secondary question 10 the rights
words ensucd, and the chivalry State was scored
with wholesale denunciation. The Union man,
seeing that the discussion being carried too far
said 10 his chivalry friend, "Wcll, will admit,
after ALL that like South Carolina in the grain
Notwithstanding the suicidal policy Of her political
leaders" ssHow is il, them" asked the chivalry
man, "since you abuse her so viely, that you like
her 30 much in the grainl" Because" retorted
the Unionist, 81 am so fond Of rice" This set the
party in roar, and the witticism restored good
feeling again.
