Mr.. FILLMoRE.-The nation, in the depth Of it's
affection at the death Of TAYLOR, feels gratitude
that his mantle has fallen upon a long tried and
worthy son. MILLARD FILLMORE is known 10 the
Wing party Of the United States, a man Of in
trinsc WORTH Of high order Of intellect Of pure
life, and of unambtious views. He is, in short, a
TRUE WHIo. In the administration Of Government,
he will have the benefit Of well balanced and well
disciplined mind, Of pure heart and Of noble spirit.
= Wing from boyhood and from principle, he needs
no lumulus to urge him 10 the performance ofhis
duty, beyond that which his high and strong re-
gard TO the peoples interest will furnish him.
The political course Of Mr.. FILLMORE has been
characterized by trying scencs, among which II
NAV not be inappropriate to mention that arduous
one when be acted as Chairman Of the Committee
Of Ways and Means, in the twenty seventh Con
qress That position furnished for him field APP
proprste TO his powers, and one in which, notwth-
standing it's endorsements and difficulties, che
came off conquoror and more than conqueror."
We have no eulogy 10 write for Mr.. Fillmore, bat
cannot refrain from expressing 10 the true heart
ed and old fashioned Wings Of Michigan our graf
itude, that in the dspensation which has deprived
Of Taylor, we have Fillmore left!

AS a political measure, should judge, from
hearsay and the opinion of intelligent merchants
on the coast of New Granada, it is ill-timcd and
iniudicious and will create great disatiecton,
among the ranks of the Rojas, Gas they are called,
"Reds,) the supporters OF the actual authorities IN
Bogota.
Ali classes appear to view it as a bad step. The
conscrv aderos conservatives, the opposing party
are bitter and loud in their denunciatons and
abuse; and lukewarm partsans of the President,
Lopez, openly declare that in this he has no sane
ton or approval of theirs. Ii really strange
enough that these Jesuits, after having been siren
uously urged to and take up their quarters in
the republic under the protection OF the Executive,
for the benefit OF the Improvement OF arts and
sciences in the country, only few years ago,
should now, without any palpable reason but that
Of being called Jesuits, and belonging to that or
der, be gnominiously driven forth; and still more
sin gular and unprecedented does 1t appear, when
this republic tolerates the open worship according
to the Roman Catholic ritual only. But politics
here, elsewhere IN the world, Is the cause Of
many strange and fantastic freaks, that may
well puzzle the future historian To analyze ana ex-
plain.
The Jesuits, after journey of suffering and pri-
vations, from the interior to the sea coast lett the
port of Santa Martha, about the oath uNmo in

five in number; but are accompanied by few iol-
lowers-novices or brothers. The results OF this
measure are already maniesting themselves. In
Bogota, the interior, and along the coast number
of duels have taken pace-caused by stormy de-
bates this question. furious paper war iscarred
between the two belligerent parties, and the Con
servatve do not hesitate to attack the President and
his cabinet, individually and collectively, with the

LATEST News FROM THE MouNTAINs.-The
steamer Robert Campbell arrived yesterday from
Council Bluffs, having left that point the first of
the present month. She brought with her pas
sengers Major Hamilton, agent of Messrs. p. Chou
teau, jr., Co., and fifty engages, with the cargoes
of ten NIackinaw boats, comprising twenty four
packs of buffalo robes, collected last winter with the
Grow Indians. Major Hamilton and his party left
Fort Alexander, twenty miles below the mouth of
the Big Horn river, the Yellow Stone, the sth
of May, and Fort Union, at the mouth of the yell
low Stone, on the 27th of the same month. They
met the steamer FL Paso on the Sth of June at the
mouth of Grand river nine hundred miles below
her destination, and the st. Ange on the Odd of
Juno, seventy miles below the mouth of Vermlion
On account of there having been but little snow
the noun tains during the past winter, Ma jor Ham
lton thinks that neither of these boats will be able
TO return before the next spring. He has had nu-
merous skirmishes with the Blackfeet Indians dur
ing his three years absence, and has lost two men
in them.

FoREI0S GLsASISGs.-Thc London Standard Of
Freedom condemns in strong terms the Ncapguan
treaty, because il comedies every point claimed by
the United States as against England. II dsposes
of the Mosquito question, il says, because it tacty
allows the State Of Nicaragua and its present gov
eminent TO be party, which involves an scknow-
Judgment of their rights the territory In qucs-
ton, the ccsson Of which, certain treaty condi-
tons, is part and parcel OF the arrangement, and
the basis on which IL really stands. The clause al
lowing either nation TO withdraw after giving six
months notice, is represented being wholly in
favor of the United Sates-since after the canal ia
finished, they may withdraw, and then the treaty
with the Nicsraguan government comes in force,
by which the United States would virtually be-
come sovereign of the canal and territory. The
only effect of the treaty II Gays, is thus to put Eng.
land in a worse position than she held before

NILLARD FILLMoRE.-Millard Fillmore is now
the President of the United States. lie has entered
upon his duties at crisis, rendering them doubly
arduous. We have confidence that he will dis
charge them like man and statesman. His past
career IL evidence of an ability, and an int gritty,
that will carry him and his country honorably and
safely through any ordeal they may be compelled
10 pass. Our sorrow for the death OF General Tay-
Tor is in some degree assauged by the thought that
his mantle has fallen upon capable and worthy
successor.

that mighty difference in this particular, which the
genius and philosophy of some modern politicians
affect TO have discovered For that instrument pro-
vided that the persons who were TO be President ana
Vice President should both be voted for at once
Presidential candidates having the high
est number OF votes Gf that number should be
majority of the whoe) receiving the superior Of
fee, and the one having the next highest number
becoming Vice President.
Willard Fillmore has been sworn into the office
ing of most melancholy contingency, and we do
not apprehend that he will have less of the conf
dence of the people than he would have received
had he been directly elected to that high and
sponsbe station. He is a man whose patriotism
been tried and the solidity and practical value
of whose talents long course of public service has
abundantly demonstrated He is a man of the peo-
pie, too from among chom he raised himself TO ex-
allied places by the force of genius, industry, and
perseverance. The rens of Government, we have
doubt, will be sa ie in his hands Great frmness
he will need, under the trying circumstances that
surround him on taking the Executive chair, but
this he possesses, and will without doubt exercise
knowledge of the history of measures he has, and
he is conversant with the intricacics of both our
home policy and our foreign relations.
He has been in public life while the great cues
tons that are now most prominent and most ex-
citing have been growing up, and he not only un-
dersands them in their phases, but he has also a
clear and full perception OF that IN them which Is
substantial and that which based on real grounds
With the great wants of the western section OF the
Union he is thoroughly acquainted, and while he
will countcnance no injustice to other sections OF
the country, upon this he will doubtless bestow that
attention which has in some memorable instances
been so strangely denied it.
Amid their grief for the loss of their late Presi
dent, the American people may turn with confidence
to his successor, as to one in whose hands their
best interests will be promoted, and their dearest
liberties be safe.

THE NEW PREsIpENT.-It is question of deep
interest the nation, what effect the death of its
chief will have upon the temper of Congress and of
the people, in reference to the questions which now
agitate the country. The first impression would
happened; that General TAYLOR was a southern
man with northern principles, or in other words,
comprehended within the scope Of his benevolent
mind the whole country and its various interests,
his removal by death the sundering of one OF
the strongest bonds which held the nation in unity.
Perhaps this impression will prove to be correct.
But strongly inclined TO think, or at least TO
hope that the case will be otherwise The great
ma jory of the people, North and South, cherish
sincere and cordial attachment to the Union. There
scandalous exceptions lit 10 true, both North
and South; but the general fact is stated. Now,
i'm proportion men love the Union, any event
which threa tens il with new dangers will prompt
them TO sacrifices, if need be, for its preserva
ton. Ii is no disparagement 10 Mr.. Fillmore to
say, that the death of General Taylor is an event
of this description, and that our public men, and
private men too, feel that the duty rests upon
themselves distinctly than before, to that
the common wealth receives no detriment. Good
citzena of every name and party, instead of seek
ing TO embarrass the President in the difficult
circumstances in which he is placed, will endeayor
10 sustain his hands and alleviate his burdens He,
too, will feel that he ID no longer a citizen Of New
York, or of the North, but of the whole country;
and that far practicable, he is bound 10 dis
card all sectional feelings and study the interests
of the South as much as of the North-of the West
ms much as Of the East.

The Vice President is now, by the decease of the
President, President OF the United States We
think safely our readers of two things
namely, that MIR. FILLMORE is thorough and in
corruptible Wing patriot, and that he is not atlct-
cd with any species of ultrasm which will interfere
with enlightened and comprehensive discharge
of the duties which unexpectedly devove on him.
He will, we think, give satisfaction to the people OF
the whole country. He is man of sound head and
large heart, firm and fast friend of the Union, and
needs only to be well known to convince the peo-
pie that he possesses all those qualities which are
required in Chief Magistrate
If any Locofoco expects to witness any iniidelity
to the party which placed Mr.. Fillmore in power,
he will not be gratifed, for that gentleman ID hon
est and inflexibe in his devotion to Wing princi-
pies; and, if any disunionist, North South, ex-
pects any countenance from Mr.. Fillmore he too
will be disappointed, for Mr.: F. is a moderate, ju-
dicous, Union loving, and practicable patriot.
We have never seen any reason to doubt either
his honesty or ability, and, as President his amb-
ton will be to discharge his duty faithfully and
impartially to the people of every section of the
Union. He will thus secure to himself the graft
tude of the nation while he lives, and, when he
ceases to live, his name will be embalmed among
those which will for live in the hearts of the
people.

which describes, very graphically, the composition
of the army prepared for this service, the largest
perhaps ever assembled during our colonial his

AUsTRA-RrvELATIoN.-T OFT Deutsche Post,
Vienna newspaper, contains document which,
although IL can hardly come under the head Of
news, possesses some interest as a matter Of hiso-
ry. This is letter from the son Of the late enc
raj Count dc Wuits, concerning plan which was
formed IN 1928 for giving the government of the
United States footing in the Mediterranean, by
delivering a seaport in the Island of Cyprus into
the possession Of the Americans.
The negotiations were carried on for the space Of
eight months between General de Wuiis and Mr.
Hughes, American Minister az the Hague, on the
one side, and the American government on the
other. The latter fearing a conflict, not only with
England and Turkey, but with the other European
powers, If il assumed the protectorate, pro-
posed, Of an island Of such consequence as Cyprus,
at last, after eight months consideration relin-
pushed the project The whole affair kept 80
secret that Mr.. Hughes wrote and copied all the
dispatches himself. Such is the story at Vienna.
We believe the published history Of the diplomacy
Of the United States contains no allusion TO the
sIair.

DIssRAcrFUL RIors. Notwithstanding the SOL
emn and impressive scenes through which we
passed on Saturday, and in which every one
seemed TO take part, yet we are reluctantly COM
PEELED to record some most outrageous riotous
duct on the part OF those claiming to belong to two
or three fire companies. 1t appears that, although
the fire at the er-yard, as given in another
tice, raging, and threatened to be one of the
destructive, number of these lawless rioters
commenced an attack on the Nigilant company,
and showered upon them a large number of brick
bats and other missiles, that they were com
PEELED TO their efforts to stay the flames, and
protect themselves from serious injury Fortu-
nately, several Of the police were on the ground,
and succeeded in arresting number Of the attack
ing party. Several other attacks were made dur
ing the night and early yesterday morning, the
companies returning with theiE&pparatus
We learn that the police acted very rR6mptly in
making arrests, but were unable TO do 80 until after
a good many had been sorely hurt by these awless
rufians. Among those arrested, give the
names of Charles o Brian, William Mooney, Fran
els McKecver, +. Sillwright, William DOLLHOUSE,
Frederick kintsner, John Smith, and Hugh Nor
ton. One or two negroes were also arrested. There
were many others, however, engaged in these
riots, and it is TO be hoped that they may speedily
be found, and all of them have the full extent OF
the punishment inflicted upon them which such
conduct so justly merits.-Baitimore Patriot.
