THE REPUBLIC.
From the Raleigh (N. CO. Register.
President Fillmore.

Ii gives US great pleasure to see that the Adj
ministration OF WILLARD FILLMORE is steadily
gaining ground in the affections and confidence
OF the sober-minded and conservative people of
this country. As a matter of course, the ultras
of the North and South hate him with an equal
hatred, but this only shows that he occupies
the safe middle of national patriotism, and is
alike removed from the extremes of northern and
southern fanatcism. The quiet AM unassuming
dignity Of Willard Fillmore seems to have stamped
itself upon his Administration There is evil
dent in it, as in the man, conscious puri.
ty of purpose, a frankness and directness,
calm and conciiatory bearing, united with the
most entire and perfect independence of action
This has been wise, as prudent, and patriotic
an Administration conducted the affairs of
this country. Such will be the judgment of all
parties when party hostility has ceased. Such will
be the voice of history. OF course Mr.. Fillmore is
branded as an abotionist by bitter political foes
But, if it the interest of their party the
men would denounce him as too strongly southern
in his bearings, and with much more plausibility.
But for Mr.. Fillmore none of those measures
which the South regards as new ratification of its
rights and of the Constitution could have become
laws. He has not signed the Compromise bills
under protest, after an illustrious Democratic
example in signing the Wmot proviso. lie
has given them his signature because he believed
them constitutional, just and right, and he has sup
ported them since with his whole heart. Every act
of his Administration proves this. He has shown
by his deeds, as well his words his firm and
dial determination to sustain the Fugitive Slave
law His prompt and decided action in regard to
the outrages at Chrisiana and Syracuse command
the admiration and respect of all men who loyal
to the Constitution. One of the most striking
proofs of his sincere devotion to the Constitution of
the country o his appointment of Mr.. Curtis, of
Boston, to the seat on the bench of the Supreme
Court made vacant by the death of Judge Wood
bury. He might have elevated to that post
some lawyer of greater political notoriety and
influence, and whose opinions upon the Compro-
mise measures not clear and decided. But,
instead ofthis, lie appointed gentleman who was
no politician, who was great lawyer, and who,
though long known in Boston the ablest jurist
OF that city, had only become known to the nation
by his intrepid support of the Fugitive Slave law
i'll the stronghold OF abolition fanaticsm. Yet this
President ID denounced as an abotionst! But the
country and posterity will do him justice. South
ern Democrats, before prescribing this man, should
calmly reflect whether they do not owe duty TO
the South above that to party, and whether that
duty can be faithfully PEI formed by ostracising
one who has proved himsclfso frankly bravely true
to the constitutional rights of the South.

NOSE PUT oN.--A young lad, about sixteen
years OF age, who lost On eye, and had his nose
entirely taken of by gun-shot, accidentally,
some three years ago, in Clermont county, applied
at the Commercial Hospital few days since to-
ascertain whether an artificial nose could not be-
fixed on him. He presented most repulsive spec
tace-a cavity, through which the interior of a
portion of the head could be seen, occupying the
place of the nose. When it was suggested to hin,
that he would have TO undergo operation,
he expressed no apprehensions, and was even will
ling to dispense with the choloforn process, which
is commonly applied in such DIR. Mussey
performed the operation in skilful manner.
making an ncision some two inches wide in the
forehead, and, drawing the flesh down, formed a
shapely substantial nose--the great improvement
in the boys appearance showing the importance of
the nasal organ. The wound in the forehead is
quickly healing up, and in a short time the youth
will be able to "folow his nose, - as heretofore.

and reminded him that MIR. Justice MCLEAN
was a DEMocRATIc appointee, and indebted
for his elevation TO General JACKSON himself.
Still our contemporary scorned the idea ofsur-
rendering his own opinion to that of a Justice
of the Supreme Court His own view of the
law was, in his judgment, quite as good, if not
little better, and we had quite despaired Of
finding any authority directly in point to which
our contemporary would yield hairs breadth.
We then fell in with the law of the case as
laid down by General JACKSON, Doctor OF
Laws, and made so by the first university in
the country. Here we thought we might rest.
Not day passes that our contemporary does
not appeal to the great name of General JACK
SON. To-day it is Jefferson and Jackson
to- morrow washington and Jackson''-but
always JACKSON. So we quoted JACKSON.
We gave the generals own words, as recorded
in the judgment of the court-martial in the case
of ARBUTHNoT and AMBRIsrER. We repeat
| them here, that the country may see how strong
and decided they are, and how far they go be-
yond the language of President FILLMORE:
"H is established principle of The Iatos Of ma.
| lions that any individual of nation making lcar
against the citizens Of another nation, they being al
peace toeits his allegiance and becomes Outiato
and pirate.
This was little too much for our ex-Ininis-
ter 1t would not be the thing exactly to pooh
pooh the authority of General JACKSON, LII.
ID. For the first time, our contemporary be-
gins to fear that he must be wrong, for he re-
ligiously believes that the general was a great
moralist as well as an inlallible jurist. But
even now he has not the manlness to retract
his error, or to admit that he has been assail-
ing the Administration without reason, or
against reason. So he seeks to diminish the
force of General JAcKsoN's law by abusing the
men in whose case it was laid down. He de
nounces Arbuthnot and Ambrister as monsters,
"whose barbarian atrocities, as traffickers in
human flesh, and the murderers of women
and children, justly forfeited their lives"
Now these unfortunate men were not even
accused before the court martial of the crimes
thus reckessly laid to their charge. There
was not only no proof, but there was allega-
ton of any barbarities or murders in their case
The main allegation was that they, being British
subjects, had encouraged and aided hostilities
against nation with which their own was at
peace. 1t was on this ground, and this ground
alone, that General JACKSON declared they had
''forfeited their allegiance" and become "out-
laws and pirates"
We do not undertake to quote jurist against
soldier to our contemporary, even on point
of law; but we submit that, far as General
JACKSON agrees with GRoTIUs, he ought to be
considered pretty good DEMOCRATIC authority.
Where there is difference Of opinion, we con-
cede that GRoTIUs must go the wall.

This lnsurgent leader, according to telo-

column, has retired to the town of Reynosa. in
Mexico, after having, through incapacity, as it
is said, raised the seige of Matamoros Previ-
Gus accounts represented that he had failed in
every attempt to gain possession of Matamoros,
and, as he received but little sympathy from
the people, the chances of success were deci
dedly against him.
