Georgia may be placed the head Of the column. The
Savannah Republican, earnest and truthful paper,
speaks hopefully Of the result and seems think that
American principles alpowerul in the Empire State

ords peculiar satisfaction to add in the number
of paper another signal victory to the long list Of

ring the present year. The city of Washington, which
among the first cities in the Union adopt the wick

Mr. FILLMORE AND THE SLAVERY QUESTION.
Some of southern know-nothng contemporaries ays

and their readers that Mr. Fillmore is the only that the
country With any hope Of calming the storms Of
parties and preserving the Union This is rather
fortunate admission and would if true be very sad
dition for the southern people. .-.... ..aa.a. n
At the present time there cannot be doubt that Mr.
Fillmore hostile to the repeal Of the MssourCompro
mse law whereby the South obtained great measure
her former position Of equality in the Union. So far we
ascertain the sentiments OF Mr. Fillmore in regard to
the Nebraska act by the letter Of Mr. John p Ken
nedy his admitted and accredited agent exponent Of
principles we are satisfied that Mr. Fillmore is antN
braska man. and for all practical purposes occupies almost
the identical position that nearly every black republican
in or out of Congress sustans OF course except such
as are of the ultra Garrison school.
Now II the South so situated that the election Of such
man the presidency Of the United States is the only
hope they have Of continuing their equality in the Union
they occupy hopeless position
We have waited several days to Mr. Kennedys letter
published in some Of the know nothing papers in the
South but while they publish with pleasure some OF Mr.
Kennsdys letters they very obliyous about the letter
dated aBalmore May g. 1856" We invite their special
attention to It, and desire to know why they do not pub
lish IT, Or shall we be the first place Mr., FmOres

and several of his great grandchildren, and
was succeeded at last by one of the younger
children of his grandson, the Duke of Bur-

succeeded by his grandson, Louis XVI. Louis
XVI, left son behind him, but that son per-
ished in the filthy dungeon to which the cru
city of she terrorists had confined him. The
King of Rome, to whom Napoleon fondly
hoped to bequeath the boundless empire he
had won, died a colonel in the Austrian SER

childless. The Duke de Berri fell by the
hand Of an assassin in the lifetime of Charles

exile from the land which his ancestors regard
ed their own estate The eldest son of
Loois Philippe perished by an untimely ac-
cident, and his grandson and heir does not sit

has been subjected has the son succeeded to
the throne of the father.-Lon3on Times.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. When the sum
mer of youth is slowly wasting away into tho
night of age, and the shadows of past years
grow deeper, as life wears on to its close, tits
pleasant to look through the visits of time
upon the sorrows and felicties of our earlier
years. II we have home TO shelter and
hearts to rejoice us. and friends have been
gathered together around our iresides, then
the rough places of our wayfaring will have
been worn and smoothed away in the twilight
of life, while the sunny spots we have past
through will grow brighter and more beauti-
full. Happy, indeed are those whose inter-
course with the world has not changed the
holier feeling, or broken those musical chords
of the heart, whose vibrations are so melodi-
Gus, so tender and touching, in the evening
of age.

Twas an hour of fearful issues
When the bold three hundred stood,
For their love of holy freedom,
By the old Thessalian flood;
When lifting high each sword of flame
They called on every sacred name,
And swore, beside those dashing waves,
They never, never would be slaves!
And, OH that oath was nobly kept,
From morn to setting sun
Did desperation urge tn fight
Which valor had begun;
Till, torrent like, the stream Of blood
Ran down and mingled with the flood,
And all, from mountain cliff to wave,
Was Freedoms Valor'S Glory's grave.
o, yes that oath was nobly kept,
Which nobly had been sworn,
And proudly did each gallant heart
The foeman's fetters spurn;
And firmly was the fight maintained,
And amply was the triumph gained;
They fought--fair Liberty, for thee:
They fell-To DIE Is To BE FREE.
