it-tllat his feelings coincide with his duty
This is the Wing President, who, At the last
campaign was accHrci Of abolitlonian, me
yeriest enemy i've has would not dare tc con-
meet his name nov with principles 10 octous.
The Wing party-ayc, the Den7acrG:'c party
too-tbe who,c ratioE-Iay well be proud OF
their present Executive. His course since he
took the chair vacated by the laUontcd Tuy-
Tor, has been characterised with superior abll'-
tv, consistency, firmness and decision. Win
the Constitution before his eyes, and q ludg-
ment marked by libcra]ijy, correctness, and
freedom from prejudice, the ear Of Govern
mcnt has gone on, and is still going Oil under
his administration, with an ease and quietness
that demands universal appreciation. His late
action with regard 10 Cuba, the Cuba Expedi-
ton, and those engaged i'll it-a topic Of cx-
citing and popular interest, so well calculated
to call forth animadycrsions and dcnunci~t!o"s
upon his head-has drawn forth from no sec
ton, any co~ndcmnatory remarks; and tic ar
rest Of Gov. Quitnan, an act SO unusual, but In
q historical point Of view, important, passed
off with silent interest. Mr., Fillmore has
proved himself the friend Of the South and of
the nation; and this last act Of his will be hail
ed with general acclamation, not only in Lou
isiara, but throughout the whole Southland
We trust, throughout ;hc whole country.
The Pic0yanc says:
The proclamation Of the President brings the
Government Of the Cuited States into this con-
tlict rs 1 party. The authority Of the c]onstitu-
ton, the power Of the Executive, the con>efva-
tive influences of patriotic feeling, are al in:o-
ked upon the side Of law and order. Nlr IS
this document a mere warning, without other
than a moral force derived rem ahabitual d.
ference TO the Gutho.it;es. 1t pledges the mill
tia, the regular a.smy, the navy and the civil
posse to tie issue. It is speaking idly to say
of il, that it possesses no other efficacy lis
the manifesto Of q Government which can WELD
the whole power IF the nation in the premises;
and it cr1anatcs from an Administration ready
to exert that power rs far rs it may be found
necessary to maintain order or cocrce obeGience
