rican has been rewarded for his devotion to Fill

ment of Deputy Collector and Inspector OF the Gus
toms at Rochester. Lawrence, unlike the many Pc

How do you do, Mr.. Fillmore exclaimed Jerome
with great confidence. -
[ How do you do, Mr.. -, responded Fiji
more, evidently confused.
NV name is Jerome replied Lawrence, with
dignifed elevation, Jerome of the Rochester Ameri-
sions. Not know me, sir and Lawrence elevated
himself peg higher by jerking on the waistband OF
! his pantaloons, mot know me, when have raked
Rochester from HI TO breakfast TO bring up voters
TO elect you Governor, Comptroller and Vice Pres-
dent. Not know me, when have been Fl ehting your
battles in Monroe county for ten years! SIT, want

l expected it would be just so: told my friends
you wouldn't recognize me. Sir, tell you 1t has
become a bye-wo.d that you do not know your
friends.
The Vice President wilted down like wet rag
under the strong irony of the speech. The whole
party amazed and annoyed at Jeromes boidness.
We never a man so confused as Fillmore. He
evidently felt the force of the gentiemans argument.
He looked like fellow in a tight place, ready to
crawl into the smallest kind of hole. The Vice
President saw that it necessary to say something
in reply to this strange harangue. He was proceed
ing TO say, will know you hereafter Mr.. Jerome,
when he interrupted and cut short by Lawrence,
who edged in, 1 want that you should know me,
don't want you treat me in this cold, clammy way.
It's way you have got into, know, and can't help
! it,
! sMr. Jerome, have taken a dagurreotype of you;
and shall forget you said the Vice President,
with of his most complacent smiles, at the same
time, shaking his hand energeticay. Fillmore was
relieved from his embarrassment by Dave Crandall,
the Joker of the Lockpor Courier, who changed the
conversation by introducing the party.
| Jerome's speech had evidently good effect on
Fillmore. Ever since that remarkable interview Fill
has realised the force of knowing his friends

President Fillmore's visit to this State has develop
ed fund of toadyism which we had not supposed
! formed SO disproportionaie an element OF Virginia
character. The stern and simple repubiicanism of
ancient times seems to be in disrePute among the
descendants OF jefferson and Taylor. Mr.. Garnetts
proposition TO drop the prefix of Erceency in the in
yitation to The President could not command a
pectabe vote whilst Willard Fillmore greeted
by his adherents with Of oriental aduation,
as disgusting as it inconsistent with the spirit of
our institutions. There is some excuse to be found
! in the weakness of human nature when man bows
before in the irresistible alteration OF genius or
heroism but homage paid to man merely as func-
tonary as the occupant of an office, is nothing less
than abiect ESTABLISHMENT. But Willard Fillmore
has not this claim to popular incense, for he is
the elected and legitimate, but the accidental
cupant of office. The worship of the principle of
sovereignty is consistent with the theory of despotlc
government, and her the famous declaration of the
royaist that he would respect she though he
found it a h-1mble. But it is philosophically
false it is grading to dignity IN the citizens OF
Virginia to bow before common place specimen OF
humanity, simply because accident has dressed him
up in little brief authority. The sensation produc-
ed Willard Fillmore in his trumphal procession from
Old Point Acqua Greek, may be explained perhaps
in manner less derogatory to the people of Virgin
ia. Perhaps he AFTER as was Quick's me-

reap no political capital by his voyage up James riv-
er, he had admirable opportunity to enighten his
mind in respect to negro slavery. If he examined
Mr.. Hill Carter's farm with unbiased eye. he must
have learned that not the cannibals, nor
slaves the beasts Of burden, he supposed them, when
he wrote his famous Erie letter.
