Seward Endorsing Fillmore.

Seward Endorsing Fillmore.
The members of New York Legislature have
lately been on a visit to New York City. While
there they were entertained in fine style at the
Astor House, by the City Councl-the notorious
VIM. II. Seward being among the guests. His
speech leaves no doubt of the act already announc
ed through the press, that whatever may have
been the feelings, in months passed, on the
part of the President and the New York Senator
towards each other, they are now of the kindest
character Mr.. Seward thus speaks of President
Fillmore
''Hon. VIM. H. Seward. on being called upon
spoke as follows: Gentlemen-Legslators of the
City of New York, and Legislators of the State
of New York; perform aeheerfmlduty in rising,
as it seems to me to be your wish, to respond to
the sentiment in which YOU have expressed your
confidence in regard to the Executive and the Leg
islature of the United States of America. 1t is
not presumptious in to say, behalf Of the
HLustrious citizen acho fills the chair of the Chief
Hogtstracy Of the United States--the native citi-
zen of New York the second one who has filed
that distinguished place-tkat his sentiments are
aoat they ought to 6e-just and impartial to all the
members of this confederacy; and yet, that the
sun which he worships most and which he will
worship last, is that which he gazed on in his ear
liest hours-the sun of the State of New York.
Of course then, with the testimony of Mr.. Sc
ward that Fillmore's 90 sentiments are what they
ought to be- the South can no longer distrust
doubt him. The bond of indemnity against any
Infringement of her rights which is rendered to the
South, stands thus: MILLARD FILLMORE. Princi-
pal, WILLIAM I'll. SEWARD, Security. Who but
the veriest fireeater object to the suffciency
of the instrument ?-NaShv;tEe american.
THE SOUTHERN PATRIoT.-There is something
very emarkable-at least very noyel-in the mode
of conducting and circulating this new paper pub
lished at Greenville.
We have been informed by several gentlement
residing different parts of our district, that large
packages of the Patriot are sent regularly to the
several post offices, directed to individuals in some
instances and in others sent for distribution, with
the assurance, by a responsible man living IN
Greenve that the paper will be sent to any per-
son free for three months and not to be paid for at
all but at the pleasure of the readers Now, if the
propretors of that paper afford TO give 1t away,
and in this way make an issue of 1000 copies,
we have no right TO complain. But we have
right to make our own nferences. Such paper
cannot be published; issuing 1900 copies weekly.
without very considerable expenditure of money
If the proprietors thus give away their own money,
they certainly deserve credit for enlarged hberal
ty and unusual benevolence If, however, they
are expending funds appropriated for that purpose
by others, then the degree of their generosity
would be somewhat abated, and another inquiry
propagandsm? For that seems the proper word
to define this extraordinary movement We are
at no loss to conjecture. AT present, We content
ourselves with merely stating the facts, reported
to US by respectable gentlemen.-Spartdn.
