Fillmore In California.

Many of the Foote-ite party in California
are making a great noise about the popular
ity of Mr. Fillmore in this State. Upon
what grounds they claim such popularity
for him, they do net state, unless is be-
cause he was once at the head of the nation
al government. and, by the aid of that great
statesman and exponent of the Constitution,
Daniel Webster, conducted the affairs of his
administration in a national and Statesman
like manner. 1t is detracting nothing from
the living, and only rendering ''equal and
exact justice to the illustrious dead, to give
Mr.. Webster credit for the sound national
and constitutional principles upon which
Mr.. FillmoLe's accidental administration
was conducted Let not remorseless p0liti-
clans, and ravenous Office seekers like Gov
ernor Foote, approach the hallowed ground
OF Marshfeld, and with the hand of political
vandalism, open the 'ponderous marble
jaws of the Sarcophagus, and plunder the
body of the nations champion, of its national
reputation, for the purpose of clothing their
was national administration, for Daniel
Webster was Secretary of State! Look at
the course of Mr. Fillmore while he was ii
, Congress Look at his votes Look at hi:
letters! When did his national character

: Secretary Of Statel Mr.. Fillmore is nov
the nominee of the miserable and contempt
