Hon. T. J. D. Fuller.

! The Republican Journal has COM
menced publishing sketches of "leadine
national Democrats, those who took
an active part in the recent political
contest. In the last issue of this Jour.
nal there is quite full history of the
political career of the Hon. Daniel S
Dickinson. 1t is legitimate eonclu-
sion to come to, that these men whom
the Journal think worthy of its especial
| notice, are the men on whom the burden
and cares of office ought to devolve I'M
der Mr.. Buchanan. The Republican
journal is certainly entitled to have its
opinions and wishes respected by the
incoming administration, as it very car
ly in the season indicated its preference
for Mr.. buchanan, as the nominee of the
Cincinnati Convention. But we must
confess. that of all the politicians that
have played consl icuous part in New
York politics, that Mr. Dickinson is the
least deserving Of public favor, in our
estimation. We believe he was the en-
envy of Silas Wright. and almost always,
an enemy to the political faith held to
by the Democratic party of his own
State. This is our recollection of the
political course of the man. We think
he at one time regretted that he had not
been born in Virginia. This may be
evidence of present soundness in his
political faith
AS we did not take up our pen to
say anything in particular of Mr.. Dick
enson or of what the Journal has said
about him, we will state that our object.
is to say few words concerning Mr..
Fuller. who is favored with lauditory
notice in the the same issue of the Jour-
nal and probably for the same Interior
purpose.
Of this gentlemen, the Journal holds
the following language, which we think
is the language of panegyric, rather than
of truth and careful estimate of char
aeter -

and nation participate in the regret so

confidence. respect, and esteem, not on

the national democracy of the state and
nation. In these days of New England S
scctionalism, and especially in this hour
of the triumph of the true friends of
the constitution and the Union, the post
of honor unqucstionablv belongs to
those champions of the democratic par
ty through whose infcxible nationality,
past and present, the late victory was
achieved. To this class of public men
Mr. Fuller has ever belonged, and in
their thousand conflicts. with sectional
ism in its various and ever varying forms
during the past ten years, he has borne
a conspicuous part.
1t was in the memorable thirty first
congress that Mr.. Fuller commenced his
congressional career, time which. in
deed, tried mems souls. That apple of
discord, the "Wilmot Proviso.' had
been thrown into the political arena.
and for a time threatened not only the
disruption of the democratic party, but
of the Union also. From the beginning
Mr.. Fuller set his face as flint against

compelled to seperate from some of his
colleagues ,rih ,rhom he ras accustomed

procivties of Hamlin, and Wilmot, and

As Mr.. Fuller probably knew what
opinions he held to when he entered
the thirty-frst congress. o. rather what
opinions he held to before he was cleo

than to take the Journals exposition
We therefore submit the following cor
