There Is great connection between Mr."E

contradictory accounts on this point, and from
sources that are usually well informed But
when everything uncertain Is brushed away the
naked fact Will remain and be plainly visible,
that Mr.. FILLMORE IS IN The field, and OF course

50 far as they have strength consists IN their
position on the Compromise question. They

The great error that mas been made IN the
vatlcnstlons of Interested parties upon the sub
lect OF the candidacy, so far as Mr. Webster and
Mr. Fillmore are concerned, has arisen from
mistaken estimate Of Mr.. FIllmore'S position and
character New-Yerk politicians, though the
most respectable class of gentlemen in the
world, have some peculiar characteristics. They
very often seemingly assent 10 propositions that
they never had the faintes, intention OF taking
even into consideration, and If other gentlemen

Another thing is equally true. New.York poll

not like to DO anything unless 1t Is clearly for

them for this And the failure to recognize
