From the Richmond Cya.) Wing, (Fllmore paper.)
Mr.. FILLMORE AND THE FUGlTIvE SLAVE
LAW II has been said that Mr.. Fillmore re-
luctar tly adxed his signature to the Fugitive
Slave Law, and that so violently opposed was
he to it that he would never have executed it.
10 show how ridiculous all these charges are
we have only to call Democrats themselves to
the stand, and make them testify to the
truth as it is
On the Sd November. 1850, the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Richmond Eaquiyer
no1o Mr.. Flllmore's virulent enemy, but than
his extrayagant eulogst, wrote as follows to
that paper:
"a distinguished gentleman flom the
Nest-an -Senator-called on Mr.. Fill
more, and, after exchanging the usual cour
tesles, was asked by the President how the
Fugitive Slave bill was received in the West.
The reply was, that the law, although un.
popular in his State, would doubtless be en-
forced. The remark was playfuly made
that, as the President was sworn to preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution and laws,
ne Cthe -senator) presumed Mr.. Fillmore
would execute this law. TO the very letter,
Sr, was the instant reply Of the President:
TO ne Gerry letter, sir, acheteUer may be the
consequences This reply was worthy the
palmest days of Old Hickory himself"
The Washington Uneoa, then edited by An.
drew jackson Donelson, copying this a few
days after, added the following =
6 1t gives us pleasure to state another an.
ecdote about the President, for which we
vouch, as We had it from two gentlemen of
the West, with whom the President had lust
been in conversation yesterday morning.
They we've applying to him for the appoint.
ment OF gentleman as Attorney for the Uni.
ted States in one Of the Western States. After
discussing the qualifications of the candidate,
Mr.. Fillmore remarked that there was another
qualification which he considered indispensa-
Bile. He said he was determined to execute
faithfully the Fugitive Slave Law, and would
appoint no man to Office who might be called
upon to assist in the administration of that
law, who would not zealously cooperate in
its execution.
On another occasion we understand, from
good authority, that the President declared
that the law should be executed at every
hazard-eyen at the risk of blood.
This is thespirit alone in which the Union
can be preserved

STEAM BOILER ExPLosIoNs.-A pamphlet
has been published in England by Mr.. An

management of steam boilers, in which he
says that the pressure within boiler is great
er than is generally supposed. With pres
sure OF fifty pounds per square inch, it
amounts to Z 200 pounds on every part of the
surface exposed to the steam, amounting ire
quently to many thousands Of tons in the
boiler. thus accounting for the enormous hav-

Withstand from $4,000 to 10000 pounds per
square inch of sectional area-the joints will
give way at about $4,000 pounds, which
sho rs the importance of seeing that the riyets
and other fastenings are al ways in sound con-
dition. Mr.. Anderson divides explosions in
to four classes, namely from want Of strength,
deficiency Of water, heating of plates, and a
variety Of other circumstances.
