xu,o 4. Millard Fillmoie

4, .m,,;eo, NOT merely by birth and residence,
I'm, sncb an American rs every citizen OF this
pennblic should feel proud to claim as a country
mnn.
lie i not merely the descendant OF revolution
.rv ancestry--but the memorable Geld OF Ben
a;,,,an cave evidence that the Fillmore Of
enty. ii. was as true and fearless defender OF
his country rights US bis representative OF the
present day.
Mllsrd Fillmore dates his birth from the first
,non,b of the nineteenth century. In the last
month of this and the succeeding centuries his
natriotic devotion and eminent services to the
best interests Of this republic will not cease to
be remembered
Az the AGE Of eighteen he poor boy
soaking 10 learn the humble trade Of clothier.
A, the ace af fifty he was President Of the Uni
tod States. What lesson for The young men of
America. and what an evidence Of the SUPERIOR.
~ of American institutions before the word
Yes. history shows that in this blessed, land OF
liberty the humblest mechanic may become the
architect of reputation which Alexandcrs. Cn-
sns and Napoeons might envy.
In boyhood. Willard Fillmore had little adyan-
taees of educatiou. We are told that he had
read little except his common school books and
bis B;bie." And here is another lesson even more
;mnortant-one which should be learned. not on
" by the yonn;, men, but by all men. not only in
this but in every country and age. For may we
not well imagine. that to his frequent and atten
five reading of the sacred volume, may to great
degree be attributed the formation Of that pure
and exalted character which has had few parel-
lcls since the death Of George Washington
Bv the friendly aid of the gentleman. who had
the sagacity to appreciate him. the poor mecban.
ic became n lawyer The subsequent career of
this accidental lawyer teaches another Important
lesson-ihat it is not impossible for lawyers to be
honest men.
At the age of thirty two the lawyer became n
politieian-was elected to Congress- and re-eiec-
ted severnl times afterwards. His career as Il
politician teaches yet another lesson, that there
are some members Of Congress moro willing TO
serve their country than themselves.
AT the age Of fifty, the mechanic, the lawyer,
and the politician. was called by the voice of
Providence to fill the highest station upon earth
the Presidency OF the United States. | will
not shy how he filled it. You know. The conn
try knows. The world knows. His influence
secured the passage of the Compromise Measures
Of September, eighteen hundred and fifty; and he
was the first man in America who had the sagnc-
ity and iimness TO indicate to Louis kossuth that
his mission would be failure! Ga ,he fourth
day of March. 1859. he retired from the Dresden
cy leaving the Repahlio peaceful and prosperous
at home, and respected and admired abroad.

Fillmore and Donelson.

The following incident related by the Republi I
can Banner of Nashville, is alike honorable to-
Mr.. Donelson and Mr.. Fillmore:
The following incident is related to us by 4,
gentleman who happened to be present when NJ,
Fillmore visited the Hermitage as he passed.
through this section of country after the close !
his Presidency. He called. after leaving tn !
Hermitage, and spent several hours with Majo !
Donelson. who had prepared collation. of which,
the evening, Major Doneson, after adverting to-
the fact, that he had once bitterly opposed Mr.
Fillmore having looked upon him as the head
Of party which stood on platform unsafe for
the institutions Of the South stated to his friends
and neighbors that he was happy to have such
an opportunity as this of expressing his conyic
tion that he had done his distinguished guest,
who had just left, great injustice. 1t was now
manifest that Mr.. Fillmore was far more relia-
bic friend Of the constitutional rights of all sec
tons of the Union than Mr. Pierce, for whom he
Mr.. Donelson, had voted. Time had shown that
Mr.. Pierce was the patron Of the utraists who
had SO bitterly opposed the Compromise Mems.
ures, as final settlement of the slavery question
It was also evident that Mr.. Fillmore, in stand
ing by that settlement. had brought upon him
self the wrath of the higher law men of the
North. Under such circumstances Mr.. Donel-
son said, he was ready to make all the amends
in his power. and that as be had helped all his
Democratic friends to pull down the admnstra-
ton OF Mr.. Fillmore, he would say to them that
ne was ready to build it up again; and as an ear.
nest OF his Intentions, he would now propose as
toast at his own house and at his own table:
WILLARD FILLMoRE.-The people will make
him President in 1856. as they did Gen Jack son
In 1928. and in 1882. He is true to the Constitu.
ton and the Union, whilst his Democratic suc
cessor has shamefully surrendered both to IN,
Keeping of the higher law men of the North ani
the South, the khetts and and Cheveses of til,
latter section, and the,Sewards and Giddipe,e
Of the former"
This toast was drank with acclamation, an,
affords conclusive evidence of Major Doneson'
high appreciation of Mr.. Fillmore, at time whe
his open and manly expression of such appreo
alton could by no possibility be subject to III
jmputation Of having proceeded from any oths
than the most honorable motives.

BLACK Republic anism ~

The Boston Times winds up powerful article
upon "Back Repubcanism," with the following
statement.
"Republicansm goes in for Democracy, and is
and viii! be its best ally. 1t prefers Mr.. Pierce or
Mr. Buchanan to Mr.. Fillmore, just as it did Mr.
Polk TO Mr.. Clay. 1t is true that it keeps up a
great blaze of warfare against the Democratic
party, but that is all a sham. 1t is done to build
itself up and get possession of local spoils. 1t
pretends to have great regard Tor Kansas and free
dom: but it takes very precious care that Kansas
shall remain where it is, professional beggars
take care that there children shall remain ragged
sore. and distressed, as their capital in trade, to
make sympathy. Take the sore and sckly in.
FAINT that is beaten daily till it bleeds, from the
aims OF the mendicnnt mother aud restore it to
health and cleanliness, and you will take away
the whole stock of trade of the begging vagabonds
So take away Kansas from Republicanism and
make it free, and its vocation will be gone. No.
no; that would never do-Wnen Whitfield, Bor-
der, Ruthan,' and Reeder, 'a'ree State came up
before the House of Representatives, the princi.
PIE was surrendered at once. by allowing the
Border Ruffan' to take his seat without resis-
tance."

The Chicago Times Organ of Douglas) whis-
ties down all other Democratic candidates for
the Presidency with the utmost ooolness-Gen.
Cass being excused on account of ''the brief
time during which his declining sun will linger
above the horizon" Mr.. Buchanan having ere
cords of early political life which contain some
ugly records Of his sayings that could be dug up
and brought to light against him" and Mr.. Marcy
"having tho heaven of seishness disseminated
through his character, and wanting greatly in
personal popularity" But tho most severe cut
Il made at President Pierce Of whom the Doug
las organ says:
Malevolent persons cndeavoring to circu-
late the report through the country, that Pres
dent Pierce will again come before the Demo
cratic Convention for denomination.
Having cleared the track of all competitors in
this one sided manner the times declares that ull
the necessary political virtue and popularity
for a Presidential candidate are concentrated in
Douglas though the same organ by authority
announced u short time since that in no event
would he be Il candidate.
Lynchburg daily Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1852-1861, 1856-04-05

According 10 the new constitution Of the Vr-
ignia Agricultural Society every county or town
having so members, will constitute a separate e.
lectoral district and send one representative to
tho Farmers Assemby-and one additional
representative for every 100 members over
the first 80. Thus. a county with only 50
members will have one representative-and no
more than one for any number of members fall
ling short of $50. lfreaching 80, there will be
two representatives, and so on for any greater
number. Thus it will happen in many cases,
that the addition of few more members to the
list will entitle a county town to an additional
representative in the Farmers Assembly.

Mr.. FILLMORE The Kingston (Tenn.) Ga

Mr.. FILLMORE. The Kingston (Tenn.) Ga
zetteer, Democratic paper in its impression of
the 18th ult., speaks of Mr.. Fillmore as follows :
With reference to Fillmore a man. it is un-
doubleday tho best nomination the party could
have made. He is an independent, candid poll
tician. While he occupied the Presidential chair,
he Mte,c oFaH seetiondiism and administered the
government in accordance NTH the provisions
and spirit Of constitution. dealing out eqndt-
handed justice 10 the North and 10 the South.
He exhibited his nationality by marm and man
iy support Of the Compromise measures. This
was his duty and for doing it. he deserves an
approving conscience and the reward of duty
well done.
An admission 20 frank and manly, says the
Nashville Patriot is highly creditable. Its one
of the bright spots in the gloomy horizon of poll
tics.
Let the Democracy select such man as Fill
more as their candidate, and the canvass ought
to become generous rivalry, free from the bit
terness and malignty of sp rit characteristic of
former Presidential campaigns.
