But if persons who entertained such sent-

Of holding office, and associatng with the
friends of the country, what shall we do with
Mr. Fillmore, who was looked upon as some
thing worse than freesoiler up to the time
when the country was agitated by the debates
on the Compromise act La. Courier.
Mr.. Fillmore, during his administration,
proved the above assertion to be unfounded II
he did ma ntain freesoil doctrines he was houegt
enough not to permit them to interfere with his
duty as the father Of the American nation
1t was the higher law party that defeated
Mr.. Fillmore in the Baltimore Convention.
On the talents and virtues which adorned the
character of that eminent citizen--on the polit-
zeal fortitude which resisted the incorporate
violence with which he was assailed-on the
frmness with which he maintained those prin-
ciples which his sense of duty prescribed
the wisdom of the measures he adopted--no
panegyric can be pronounced in which the best
judgment Of a majority of the nation will not
concur Every act of his Administration pro
ceeded from the most disinterested potriotism,
and was exclusively designed to promote the
welfare Of the country. This is not a mere
formal and heartless homage, but tribute
which is eminently due, and cheerfully rem
dered to the exalted character of the distin-
guished individual on whom it is bestowed
