1~- We saw recently in several papers an
item stating that Mr.. Fillmore had declined
being . candidate for the Presidency, and
credited to q Washington telegraphic despatch
We now find it on the rounds credited to the
Warrington Telegraph. We never send out
hoaxes. We give facts as facts, and rumors
rs rumors. But we never believed that rumor.
Mr.. Fillmore will retire before inevitable fate,
and nothing else. He loves position, power,
place, patronage, profit, and all the allitera-
tions you can pile up, until you come to power
ty Mr.. Fillmore is Union man, and ready
to unite with any union Of Democrats and
Wings that can re-elect him. His Unionism
leads him into belief in the Unitarianism of
every thing but the party that placed him
where he is; and in respect to that he is q
doubter-whether in the bonds Of its cohesion
or the numerical sufficiency Of its constituent
parts, We do not feel called upon to declare.

An AUrooRAT.-The practical meaning Of the
term Autocrat, says the Lynchburg Daily En-
pres, is not generally understood in this coun-
try. 1t is supposed, by most people, that an
Emperor of Russia is, under any circumstances,
an Autocrat. This, we have been informed, is
not the fact. An Emperor, during the first
twenty-five years of his reign, if he shall reign
30 long, is bound by some few legal restraints
after that time he is by law the unrestrained
controller of the lives, as well as the property
Of his subjects. This makes him an Autocrat

Late from Utah TerritOry-Arriva1 OF
Judge Brandenburg.

We have had the pleasure Of an interview
with his honor Judge Brandenburg, formerly
of Pennsylvania, and now Chief Justice of the
Territory of Utah, who has just arrived in this
city from the great Salt Lake city.
Judge B. informs us that the statements
heretofore published, as coming from judicial
officer, understood to be his associate, Judge
Brocchus,) respecting the infamous conduct OF
Governor Brigham Young, and his Mormon
confederatcs, are in every particular correct.
Judge B. was present at the entertainment at
which Gov. Young denounced the lamented
Taylor, and declared in blasphemous terms that
he was in hell.
We understand that Judge b. left Judge
Brocchus at ST. Louis, aud Captain Day, the
sub-Indan Agent at Cincinnati. These gen.
tlemen may be expected here in few days.

A BAD BUsINEss.-About fifty more mechan-

This is unfortunate for them, and unfortunate
for the Government. Men with families can
not afford to be thrown out Of employment at this
Indictment season Of the year, and the Govern
ment cannot keep up complement Of good
men while its employment is SO precarious.

VIRGINIA.-The papers of the Old Dominion
are more jealous in attacking and defending
the candidates for Office than we have ever be-
fore seen them. Next Monday will be great
day. Under thesnew constitution, Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and
members.of both houses of the legislature have
to be chosen, and upon these will devolve the
duty of putting the new government into opera
ton. A writer in the Alexandria Gazette says
that, instead of an increase of loo, 900 by means
Of general suffrage, the increase will not be
more than $4,000.

A Philadelphian IN trouble.

Advces from Rio de Jsneiro state that an
ARRAY had taken place between on Italian ho-
tel-keeper and +. W. Reese, of Philadelphia, a
passenger in the Golden Gate, growing out of
the former accusing the latter with being too
intimate with his wife. Reese was violently
assaulted by the italian, and in defence shot
him dead. Reese was arrested on the charge
of murder, and the citizens were much incensed
against him, but upon explanation it was deci-
ded that he was not to blame. The American
Consul had interceded, and it was thought he
would be released.

s6s- We would call the attention Of the mem


bers Of the Columbia Typographical Society to
the notice Of the meeting to be held this even
ing for the annual election Of officers TINS
organization has resulted in advantage to the
printers Of this city and Of the whole unioh'
and should be cherished and sustained by them
all. To Washington the eyes Of all are turned;
and before many years pass away, this city VIII
extend its operations in printing and publishing
in manner hardly dreamed of by many at the
present hour. The archives Of the nation are
here; the great libraries Of the nation are to be
here; the Smithsonian Institution is here; the
Patent Office, Agricultural Office, the National
Insttute-all are to be here The great literary
and scientific men Of the country will pass
much of the year in this city, and professional
authors will make their abode here. 1t is i'm
possible in view of these things, that the print
ing and publishing emporium of the country
can be elsewhere Let the followers of this
noble craft remember these things, and remem-
Der that on them rests the responsibility Of pro-
tecting the interests and reputation of their
fraternity. To keep up the prices to the
highest practicable point, to abridge the hours
of labor, to reform the abuse of working at
unreasonable hours, and especially Of vsoIat-
ing the Sa55ath-and to enforce sobriety, indus
try, and proper regard for personal reputa-
ton, are duties incumbent upon them. May
they not be disregarded. Many philosopher,
jurist, statesman, preacher, and poet looks back
to the printing Office as his alma mater; and it
will ever be so. Let, therefore, this school be
preserved in efficiency, dignity, and purity, and
let the future generation thank those now upon
the stage of action for the faithfulness and wis
dom of their legislation.
