Mr.. Miller said, the, resolutions met
Mis- most hearty approval. No man, in
! the performance Of his public duty,
could have displayed more moral
courage, greater decision nf eharac-
ter, and stronger devotion to the
Jaws and constitution Of the coun-
~ than had marked the course Of
ofMr. Fillmore since he became Pre-
sident. Such had been his patriotic
sacrifice of all personal considerations
for the good the whole Union, that
he was entitled, richly e,4titled, to the
full confidence Of his friends. and he
J had commanded TO a great extent the
. admiration Of his political opponents.
+ In 1913 he was denounced by the lead
ers and presses Of the Democratic par
" as an AbolitIonist, and the people
ofthe South were appealed to, to reject
him as one who would sacrifice their
, rights. But he had, by his fearless and
Ipaitiotic course, refuted all such char
r yes. Afalslfied all such predictions. Al
the death Of Gen. Taylor, the country
, was on the eve of civil war. Texas was
preparing to invade New Mexico, and
the latter had resolved TO repcl such in
, vasion. Had blood been she'd no human
foresight could have foretold the issue
ofsuch a conflict. Mr.. FILLMORE came in.
to power. The Compromise measures,
which were Intended to pour oil on the
troubled waters Of popular excitement,
were passed. He approved those meas
ures in the face Of violent opposition to

cularly had he exhibited his devotion
to right and justice, by his promptuess,
on all occasions, to execute the Fugi-
tive Slave law, and enforce the consti-
tutional guarantees of our people, though
