The republic., 1851-06-10
From the Warrenton (Va.) Republican.
Our Whix President,

independently of all party considerations, we
think that every true lover of his country must
see something to admire in the present position of
President Fillmore, and the course of conduct by
which he has attained it. Called unex pectedly to
the helm of State by most affecting dispensation
of Providence, the eyes of all men wero from the
fret fixed upon him with anxious expectation
And well might it be so--for an emergency then
existed which had made many good man trcm-
BILE. With calm and serious fortitude did Millard
Fillmore address himself to the arduous task be-
fore him, calling around him as assistants some
of the choicest spirits of our country. Wisdom,
moderation, and hrmness, characterized their
ellis, and in very short space of time the dark
clouds which had lowered in the political horizon
had cleared away, and the skies of the future were
serene once more.
Opinions may differ with regard to the stability
of the calm that thus effected, but none but
those who rabid with party prejudice, or warped
by sectional feeling can do otherwise than admire
the uprghtncss ability and patriotism of thosc by
whom it was achieved.
The President and his Cabinet are now reaping
the fuits Of their devotion to the Union in its time
of need, and their late progress through the coun-
try has been one continued ovation, from Washing
ton to Buffalo. The magnificent public work, the
opening Of which he went to celebrate, was in every
way worthy TO engage the attention Of the Chief
Magistrate Of a mighty nation. From mountain
top to mountain top, as Mr.. Crittenden expressed
it, they were borne with the speed of tho wind
through the. .primeval forests of New York, start
ling the wild deer in his covert and the Indian
in his wigwam, and everywhere the yeomanry of
the land were ready to grasp tho hands Of those

Becomingly and even nobly did the President
sustain himself throughout this peaceful campaign.
Even in such secondary matters as those Of kindly
personal bearing and graceful performance of the
minor courtesies Of life, few il any Of our Presi-
dents have shown themselves the superiors Of Mil
lard Fillmore. From exposition Of the princi-
pies Of the Government, TO assembled thousands to
the acceptance Of bouquet from the chubby fingers
of an infant, all hia actions have been stamped with
the impress of good sense and good taste combined.
His speeches will compare iavorahly with those of
the most ilustrious OF his predecessors, and they
were received with acclamation even in districts
where the sentiments uttered are known to be un-
popular.

not what the future may bring forth with regard
to tho choice of suitable person to fill this high
