From the Richmond Republican,
MR.. FILLMORE.


The more we reflect upon the characte
and course of the present Administration
the greater is our admiration OF the emf
nent statesman at its head. Il deserves I
be called the Administration Of Common
Sense, Without aiming to be brilliant, Q
making pretentions to grand and striking
qualities, ii has proved itselfas safe and a
wise an administration as this country has
enjoyed since the DAYS Of Warrington
There is no surer mode Of knowing mar
than by his acts. The tree is known BY
its fruits. And the fruits borne By this ad
minis,raiion have been Patriotism, Homes
lty, Justice, and Good Faith between all
sections.
The pilot who, in broad daylight, steers
stately vessel upon reefof rocks which
looms up full in bis sight, placing the ship
her cargo and passengers, IN imminent per
I il Of destruction, may we'll be regarded as
incompetent and unworthy his trust. But
the pilot who, finding her 10 that condition,
the waves roaring for their prey, and the
darkness Of night thickening upon her
hopeless crew, brings her out in safety
from the breakers, and sends her forward
once more, secure and buoyant, to pursue
her voyage, has proved himself master OF
his profession. and deserves the gratitude
and admiration Of all on board. So It is
with MiIIard Fillmore. He found the coun-
try ready TO fall to pieces upon those sec
tional questions, into which she had been
precipitaied by the Democratic policy Of
territorial sggrandizsment.
The political horizon was becoming dark.

There was an evident honesty, patriotism,
singleness Of purpose and firmness about
the man, which gave assurance that ne was
equal to the exigency Of the hour. Nor
was the country disappointed. A series Of
measures was soon passed, and received
bis official sanction, which gave peace to
the distracted Union, and wns received BY
all sections as an honorable adjustment Of
all questions in dispute. And it deserves
to be remarked that the only points OF MIR.
Filmore's Administration which have ex.
cited anything like bitter criticism, even
from his political opponents, have been
those which proceeded from veneration ol
national good faith; which have sought to
make the United States respect the rights
Of o,her nations, as be had made the North
respect tho rights ofthe South; and which,
by avoiding the acquisition Of new territory
tended to save the country from perils iden,
tcal with those from which she had just
been ex,ricated. Whatever views the par

impartial history will be eloquent in praise
Of Millard Fillmore, as man rarely equal.
