MR.. FILLMORE ON THE FUGITIVE SLAVE
LAW,

The following letter from Mr.. Crittenden
shows that Mr.. Fillmore signed the Fugitive
Slave Bill from no spirit of concession and
compromise" but because he was in favor
of it
WASHINGTON, July IL, 1856.
My DEAR SIR: In answer to your letter of
the 4th July, l reply, that neither during his
Administration nor at any time did he ever
say to me, or in my hearing, "thst the Fugitive
Slave Law was unconstitutional" or anything
to that effect Neither is it true, "that it was
only by your (my) urgent solicitation, as his
adviser, that he could be induced to sign the
bill" For the purpose, as l supposed, OF act
ing, and showing that he acted, deliberately
and advlsedly upon so important subject, he
required me, as the law-officer of the Govern
ment to give my opinion in writing in regard
to the constitutionality of certain clauses of
the bill, and did 80. / believe that he also
consulted las usually all the members. This
was done, no doubt, out of respect for his Cab
met and to secure to his conduct the highest
sanction which the advice of his Cabinet coun-
sellers could give. All the members of the
Cabinet, believe, advised in favor of the bill !;
and in so doing concurred, as understood, in
the Presidents own opinion on the subject
There ,oas no urgency or solicitation TO Mr..
Fillmore to sign the bill, that know Of II
certainly needed none, nor did l erer suppose
that any scGs necessary. Mr. Fillmore, hare
no doubt, signed that bill freely, and an obedi-
ence only to his 0ton CONNECTIONS and sense of
duty
The above will afford you, hope, sir, full
answer to your inquiries. And l have the
honor to remain, very respectfully, yours, &C.,
j. j. CRITTENDEN.

and nearly as solid as highly-polished marble,
and impervious TO the changes of time and

MOB LAW IN MOBILE.

Messrs. Strickland Il Epson, booksellers at
Mobile, have been expelled that city on the
charge of selling " Abolition books" We see
it stated that the Life of Frederick Douglas is
the wicked book, which, being found in the
possession of a slave, has produced all the
trouble. 1t is entitled, My Bondage and my
Freedom" and, being an entirely false and
perverted account of Slavery it is, we should
say that it would be the very book for the hap
by slaves of the South to laugh over, and hug
closer their gentle bonds. But it seems that
we are mistaken, or that the Vigilance Com
mittee of Mobile are not yet fully informed as
30 the nature of the book. In any point of
view, we think that they act without proper re-
Election; for if the book is faithful and true
account of Slavery, it must be favorable, and
calculated to enforce the dnty of blind obe-
dience. On the other hand, if it is false or ex-
aggerated, the slaves will see through the Gun.
ming device Of the Abolitionists, and laugh
them TO scorp.

POLITICS IN NEW YORK.

ALBANY, N. Y, august 20, 1856.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
The most careful political calcplato-s bors
are unable to figure Fremont's majority !, This
State below 10000; and this estimate Give
l0,OO0 against him in New York CITY, 1000 in
Albany, and 1000 in Rensselaer,. where his
sanguine friends are unwilling to allow any
majority against him. According to present
calculations, based on the most reliable inform.
alton received here at the central point, from
every county in the State, Fremont's majority
cannot vary much from $1,000. In these est
mates, Fillmore is considered as the competitor
oil fremont. Buchanan seems to be admitted
to be out of the count. Nevertheless, the recent
elections may have the effect to change the rel
alive positions of Fillmore and Buchanan be
tore the day of election. Bot it is impossible
Tor Buchanan to rise to Fillmore's present
strength, unless there should be union of the
Buchanan and Fillmore forces in which case,
the losses and gains would be about equal.
1t Is striking fact, that the most active
working men for Fremont in this State were
recently Democrats and the three or four
counties which heretofore have been engaged,
previous to elections, in a strife as to which
should give the largest majority for jackson,
Folk, or Wright are now engaged in a similar

Fremont majority. Oneida, ST. Lawrence,
Jefferson, and Herkimer, are talking of 4, OOO.
5000, and even 5000 Fremont maiorties IN
their respective counties, over Fillmore. The
enthusiasm in these counties is unparalleled
L may remark, that nobody expects any Repub-
hcan State candidate to run up to within %, 900
of Fremont.
Everywhere the greatest reliance is placed
upon the large and judicious circulation of doc.
umenss, newspapers, and speeches, as means
OF success. Where this has been neglected,
falling off in Fremout's vote will mark the neg

KA N S A s.

The news from Kansas, which will be found
elsewhere in to-day's Era, is of the most excl
ting character, and calls imperstively upon the
Republicans in Congress to stand firm by the
position they have taken. The man who affects
to have confidence in the honest purposes of
the Administration, as it regards Kansas, should
at once be put in straight Jacket. Those
who can now doubt, after the overwhelming
mass of evidence produced by the Investigating
Committee of the guilty completely of the Fed
eral Administration with the foulest deeds of
the Border Ruffians, must be stupid, indeed
Can they forget that Lawrence was sacked,
its hotel burnt, its printing presses destroyed,
and its citizens robbed and murdered, by the
command of the United States marshal and a
Territorial sheriff, backed by the Territorial
Governor? And will they be blind to the fact
that these men Except the Governor) are still
holding their Offices?
Away, then, with the imbecile or hypocritical
affectatiOn of respect for an Administration OF
which the ruling spirits are such men as Jeffer-
son Davis and Caleb Cushing! We would as
of hungry wolf, as trust the rights of freemen
to such hands. No let them be bound hand

BLAIR VS.. BUCHANAN.

The New York Ecening Post of Saturday
sontains a strong letter from Francis P. Blair,
Gen., showing Mr.. Buchanan to have been the
only guilty intriguer in the celebrated Presi
dental contest in 1926, between Messrs. Jack
sou. Adams, and Clay. We have slready shown
that Mr.. Buchanan was convicted as q corrupt
intrieuer, on the testimony of both General
jackson and Mr.. Clay; but Mr.. Blair brings
oat other evidence, which leaves mot loop
TO hang doubt upon" We will notice this
letter at length next week.
