''Hc that is faithful over few things shall be
ruler many things" This is divine pro-
position containing principle of action which de-
rives its authority FROM and has the high sane zion
of the Son of God himself, who rules over the
Kingdoms Of men, and appointeth them to whom
soever He will; but who is Himself overruled in
His appointments by laws fixed everlasting
fate. This divine principle of action and reward
has been beautifully and triumphantly illustrated
in the steady and onward progress of WILLARD
FILLMORE, whose name is singulnrly expressive
of his character and history, since he has SO filled
every station to which the public voice has
called him, "a to show himself possessed OF
ample capacity to fill more still. The fuller's
boy has shown himself well filed with all
the noblcr elements of humanity, and all the
qualifications necessary to meet the highest re-
sponsibilities of the most exalted official sta
tons, that he has filled every mouth with praise
and commendation, and fully indicated that Di-
vine Providence which unexpectedly made him the
constitutional head of this mighty nation. Com
bnng, as did the Father of his Country, modcsty
with frmness, he has assumed nothing, and yet
accomplished every thing, upon the simple but a.
cred principle of conscientious discharge of bis
constitutional duty Looking neither to the right
nor to the left--regardless alike of party tics and
geographical lines-knowing neither Wing nor
Democrat, North nor South-he has met, with
manly boldness and frankness of character the ext
gencies of the times and the great question of the
day; rebuking, with the potential voice Of his ex-
allied position, the turbulent waves of faction-the
fanatica Abolitionsts of the North, and the trea-
sonable Seceasionsts of the South he has stlled the
mutterings of the gathering storm, and To- there ia
great calm. This happy subsiding of the rising
waters of disoontentthis breaking away of threat
ening clouds, and bursting forth in all it's primitive
effulgence and glory of the of our political sys-
tem-this manly and timely vindication of the
Constitution and the sacred integrity of the Union
of these States, calls first for the prooundest graft
tude to God who can alone rule and override the
unruly wills and hayward affections of men; but,
secondly, it demands united sentiment of nation
guished services and incompatible integrity OF
WILLARD FILLMORE, who, regardless of self, would
know no third party but his country, and no man
against his country. Although we cannot--no,
and will not say, with the fanatical democracy OF
jacobinical France-"Vox, populi, vox Dei;'' yet,
reversing it, we would gladly say, "vox Del, vox
popul-which is to say, let the voice of the people
re-echo the voice of God; and public sentiment,
when it shall be officially and constutionally ELI
cited, confirm, act of pious gratitude to God
well as of justice to official fidelity, that sentence
of Divine Providence which, true to divine prn-
cipe, exalted the fuer's boy, faithful over few
things, TO be ruler many things; and stamp,
with grateful nations just reward and super
scription, MiLLARD FILLMORE, President elect OF
these United States.
