| The surprising excellence Of Willard Filmore's
his unquestoned patriotism and enlarged
nationality ether with his high executive quail
ities extort even from his political opponents ex-
pTessions Of respect and confidence In fact it may
be said without extravaganza that none but the M
scrupulousy partisan the traders in principle aud
organs Of clques venture upon the work Of detrac-
ton. II ii true the ofal have entered upon
their dirty their efforts, thus far,
have only tended 70 excite emotions Of disgust among
Intelligent and right minded men. The stately edi-

unconlpro misingly opposed to the American party

He passed through q terrible ordeal unscathed.
This is d great fact. 1t cannot be kept too proln
nently before tie people. Few men stand q trying
test They generally fail in an important crisis de
stroy themselves and leopard the interests Of those
who clothed them with authority. But Mr.. Fillmore
did not fail. He proved himself equal to the ener
gency and oyeEcame all the obstacles that surrounded
him. Hence he deserves largershare of public con.
fdence than any other lnan5living.
