Mr.. FillmOre'S Letter.

The following letter from Mr., Fillmore
appeared in the Washington Union of the
lst inst. 1t was written when MIR. Fillmore
was the candidate for Congress III the Buf-
falo District:
BUFFALo Oct. H. 1888.
SW. Your communication of the 18th
instn as Chairman of Committee appoint
ed by "the Anti-SIavery Society OF the
County of Erie has just come to hand.
You solicit my answer to the following in
terrogatories
lst. DO you believe that petitions to Con-
gress on the subject of slavery and the slave
trade ought to be received, read and re-
spectfully considered by the representatives
OF the people?
I'd. Are you opposed to the annexation
of Texas to this Union, under any circum-
stances, so long as slaves are held therein
Sd. Are you in favor of congress exer-
cising all the constitutional power it pos.
sesses, to abolish the internal slave trade be-
TIVE en- the States?
4th. Are you in favor of immediate legis-
ation for the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia
am much eugaged, and have no time to
enter into an argument, or to explain at
length my reasons for my opinion. shall
therefore content myself for the present, by
answering all your interrogatories in the
AFFIR NATIVE, and leave for some fu-
ture occasion more extended discussion on
the subject.
| would, however, take this occasion to
say that, in thus briefly giving my opinion,
| wopld not desire to have il understood in
a natur of pledge. At the same time
that seek no DISCUSSES, but freely give my
sentiments on any subject of interest to
those for whose suffrages | am candidate.
| am opposed to give any pledge that shall
deprive me hereafter of all discretionary
power My own character must be the
guarantee for the general correctness Of my
Legislative department. On every impor-
can't subject, am bound to deliberate before
| act, and especially as legislator--to pos
sess myself of all the information, and listen
to every argument that can be adduced by
my associates, before give final vote If
stand pledged to a particular course of ac-
ton, I cease to be responsible agent, but
become mere machine. Should subse-
quent events show beyond all doubt that
the course | had become pledged to pursue
was ruinous to my constituents and disgrace
full to myself, | have no alternative, no op-
portunity of repentance, and there is no
power to absolve me from my obligation.
Hence the impropriety, not to say absurdi-
ty, in my view, of giving pledge.
am aware that you have not asked any
pledge, and believe | know your sound
judgment and good sense too well to think
you desire any such thing. 1t was, how
ever to prevent any misrepresentation on
the part Of others that have felt it my du-
ty to say thus much on this subject.
am respectfully your most obedient
servant, MILLARD FILLMORE.
W. MILLS, Esq, Chairman.

John Randolph has been quoted as an ar.
dent unionist by the submission papers south.
The same might have been said OF John c.
Calhoun before the Union changed its fed.
erative character into machine for section
al domination. The Lynchburg RepubG-
can has been favored with the following let
ter to show that Mr.. Randolph was in ia
vor OF southern action to resist northern ag-
gression.
WASHINGTON, Feb 5, 1926.
Dear Sir:
81 feel gratifed and fattered at being
consulted by you and our worthy Delegate
Mr.. Gaines, but | can only aid with the
opinion that your resolutions can't be too
firm, against the modern encroachments on
the rights of the people in their individual
as well as on the State authorities.
"A general nan consumption agreement
against articles North Of Mason and Dir
DR Tine, would do more than any thing
else to correct the evil as far as the Tariff is
Ihave not bought the value of
one shilling from that quarter since the pas
sage of that law. Iexcept one only article,
,chich can be got no acheye else, and is of Vi
tai necessity to me, viz: "Swain's Pa
nacea." To this resolution | think shall
stick. My best remembrance to Mr.. w,
Il. johnson and Mr.. Gaines, and when you
see him to 4. Miller"
Yours respectfully, and
With much regard,

A CvRrous INCIDENT following

A Curious INcrpENr.-The following
curious statement is an extract o. a
letter received by Philip Sleeman Esq
of Plymouth from his brother, Col. W.
H. SIeeman, and dated Court of Luck
now, Hindostan, India, October 3, 1850:
:" ! must now tell you about a poor
boy found in a VOLTS den. with she
wolf and three whelps. When dug in
to by some of my troops they all bolted
together, and the boy ran so fast on
his all fours that he out stripped the
wheIps, and was with difficulty taken
by a mounted trooper. The mother of
the whelps had carried him off from
his parents some years before, and
brought him up as her own offspring
in her den."

The MARRIAGE RELA1IoN.-The ceIe-
brated English writer Addison, has left
on record the following sentence;
"Two persons who have chosen
each other out of all species, with a
design to be each others mutual com
fort and entertainments. have in that
action bound themselves to be good
humored, aGable, forgiving, patient,
and joyful, with respect to each 9th

unruly evil, full Of deadly poise IN" and
in proof of the charge, the aw book
was produced, and a pass age cited
from James 3: 8. The dc .Gendent re,
piled, that if it were not Gr. Mr.. Heart
who lived littG way bslow him he
should be as Innocent AS Mr.. Nose
or the Messrs. Eyes and in support
of this position, he cited passage
from the same law t,ook, Matthew Is:

The Court decided that the 5srsrco
was sound one, and that no,bing 70.
ally could be expected from Mr..
Tongue until a radical change should
take place in his ir''nbor's Heart.

decision, we advise them to have Mr.
Heart that lives nearest to them SET

make all the. difference in the world
with the Whole neighborhood.

A SIMILE.-A day was born. The eastern sky
was marked with cold, dim light. Anon the
faint, gray lines didused; then they grew
bright, and brighter, and brighter still, un il
they filled the horizon then they climbed
the unfolded sky, and lit the world with ra-
dance. The glorious sun burst upon the
view, and heaven and earth lay bathed in
gorgeous dyes ......
The newborn morning smiled in blushing
loveliness, and nature drank the beauty OF
the scene.
Thus came into existence virgin morn.
Ere long a tiny speck OF shade hung far,
far away in the ethereal fields Soon it
grew darker, and occupied more extended
space, whilst a mournlu sigh came float.
ing through the vale. Anon the feeble sigh
ing OF the afflicted wind increased into
blast, gale, hurricane, and then it swept
over the world, roaring like mighty cata-
ract of eaping, angry Kissing waters; while
that lately tiny speck spread wider, wider
and darker, till it hung like midnight's mys-
terious gloom. world of Dlackness between
the earth and sky Then the Iightning's
blazing serpents fired the surcharged clouds,
and the slumbering thunder woke and split
The heavens with ire, and rain and hail in
torrents tumbIed down. Reveling in his
savage freedom, the storm rushed around the
earth, dealing destruction in its course
The world shrank beneath the direful change
and tottered in her fear.
So the storm came.
II passed.
The golden sunlight pierced the clouds
again, and smiled once more on the world
/ below. ....s
1t soon chased the wauing elements from
the azure fields. and ere the day had waned
it was robed in all her former brightness
So it is with this life. The morning
dawns, and in childhood's hour our way !,
bright and blest. The day wears on, and
as we older grow, the storm-speck rises ii
our horizon, and clouds obscure Our sky
Yet, still, Iife's sunshine beams above tho
storm, and though we bend beneath the fu
ry OF the blast, those glorious rays will dissi
pate the gloom, and shed their cheerfunes'
