Hon Mil!ard Fillmore

This gentleman, 1t is well known, WAS
one of the guests OF tue Chicago and Rock
Island Railroad in the late Excursion to ST.
Paul, and many OF our citizens had the
pleasure, for the first time. Of making h S
acquaintance. He appeared to be quiet,
m dest, unassuming gentleman, who had Il
proper sense OF selt-rcspccr, and who aimed
to extend the same courtesy to all Others
that he felt to be his own due when travel
ing as an nnpretendinr private citizen.
Considering the high position which he has
heretofore occupied, il is not strange that
he should have often been called upon al
different places 10 address the crowds as
sernblcd in honor OF the company. He was
prompt to reply with no mock dltidence.
On two such occasions we had the pleasure
OF hearing him What he said was charac-
terized with modesty, common polteness, q
hearty good will for the happiness and pros
per,v of those whom he addressed. and with
no aiiusion TO himself that would SAVIOR IN
any degree OF vanity, or Of a wish 10 attract
70 himself any uncommon attention A.
far as we have heard Individual opinions ex-
pressed, our citizens were highly pleased
with tho good sense OF the man as we'll as
his good manner, Gaisna Gas.
We presume the same impression il
made every where that Mr. Fillmore tray
els We had the pleasure Of hearing him
or three different occasions, during bis short
soIourn among Us, and at no time did he
alludc to himself in a way calculate ID
draw attention to his past services TO ouI
country. While his department was mod
est and unassuming, he spoke with great
readiness and with an energy that showed
his heart sympathised with the expressions

low, they lose, perhaps, present direct
