Mr.. Fillmore in Europe.

A letter dated Rome, March Goth, says
Yesterday party of Americans-U do
not mean to use the word as party dis.
tinction--it will be a sad spectacle when
any portion of Americans will have ceased
10 think, and feel and act as Americans -
communicated TO Mr.. Fillmore the fact of
his nomination; but he remained as calm as
as summers morning, and seemed TO be
quite Indifferent as to the honor intended to
be showered upon him. He leaves here on
Tuesday next for Florence, Milan and We
nice, and will visit Vienna, Munich, SUIT
gardt and Strassbourg on his way home
The north of Europe he visited last summer,
and there is probably now no man living in
the United States SO well posted up in our
foreign affairs, and SO thoroughly acquainted
with the position Of the different states Of
Europe as Mr.. Fillmore, and none who has
more judgment to make the proper use Of
his knowledge.
While Mr.. Fillmore, on his way from
Marseilles TO Nice, was passing through
Cannes, memorable, as you well know, in
ancient times, by the battle which Julius
Caesar won over the Gauls, but celebrated
in latter days as most delightful residence
for Englishmen in search of country life, re-
tirement and health, he made short visit
to Lord Broughain, who had shown him some
attention in London, and was not a little as
tonished, when on leaving the place, he
found his Lordship (who is now in a very
advanced age) waiting for him near the
carriage with splendid copy of new cdi-
ton Of his Lives of Eminent Men of the
reign Of George III.
His Lordship had come down nearly two
miles from his beautiful palace, on foot, tc
wait on our venerable ex- President, to pre-.
sent him with this testimonial Of his high re-
gard. OF the special favor shown Mr.. Fill.
more by the Pope, Ihave spoken in previ.
Gus letter, where l stated that his Holiness
bestowed on him more than princely honor
when he invited Mr.. Fillmore 10 take a seat
by his side. The King of Naples had or
extra train in readiness to convey Mr.. Fill.
more TO the royal residence; and wherever
else Mr.. Fillmore has set foot, he was re.
ceived, not only with the honors due to the
exalted station he once occupied, but with
that respect for the innate dignity of the
man which no official position, however
high. can insure, unless occupied with per-
sonal dignity and evidence Of high indi.
vidual character.

Der of the Albany Knickerbocker;
"Some Of the finest cattle we ever saw
were brought TO this city last Saturday on
the Central Railroad. There were thirty
four head, with an average weight of two
thousand four hundred pounds. They sold
for ten cents pound live weight, which is
equal to $24o each. They were grown by
F. F. Harris, of Champagne, Illinois, who
has one hundred head Of the same weight

Old Wing Talk,

The anniversary Of Mr.. CLAWS birth
day was celebrated with great spirit in New
York. ERAsrus BRooKs presided. The
most eloquent speech of the evening was
that Of Ex-Gov. WASHINGTON HuNT, full
report of which is contained in the New
York Express. He closed his speech with
these words:
at may be inquired what is TO be done,
and what can be done by those who still
adhere to the principles and political maxims
and teachings Of Henry Clay. 1t is not for
me to speak for others, it seems unnecessary
for me to speak even for myself; but in that
connection / will simply say, that, notwith-
standing the confusion of parties that now
exist, the new names that have been as
sumed, the new topics that have been pre-
scented, there are thousands and tens OF thou
sands of Henry Clay Wings spread over the
vast expanse Of this republic; and, whether
the party is declared disbanded or not, there
is still large portion Of the American peo-
pie who adhere TO his principles, and will
endeavor by all just and legitimate efforts
to maintain and carry them into effect. En-
thusiastio cheers. So far as the Wings Of
New York are concerned, il is not to be
doubted that in due time they will counsel
together. They will come TO an understand
ing, they will convene and deliberate and
consider the true condition Of the country
and adopt that course that is best calculated
to restore peace and harmony to the Con-
federacy, and place the constitution and the
Union upon an mperishable foundation
They will sustain no candidate or affiliate
with no party that is not true to those prin-
ciples and that policy which the Wing party
maintained in its best and palmiest days"
Gov. Hunt resumed his seat amid the
most enthusiastic applause alter which nine
hearty cheers were given for "the man who
had said that the Wing party should not be
disbanded."

that ''Americars should rule America" We

The Democratic Review on Mr.. Fillmore

The Democratic Review for December,
1855, having the Compromise measures Of
1850, and cOtemporaneous events under con-
sideration, thus speaks of Mr.. Fillmore:
"Momentous events were trans piring. -
The agitation of the question of slaverey was
paramount in the public mind. In this cri-
sis, il was we'll that so relinble a man as Mr..
Fillmore was found in the Presidential chair
The safety and perpetuiiy of the Union was
threatened. Already had fanaticism raised
its hydra head. Schemes and "isms" leap
ed from a thousand abuscades. The enemies
Of the Union started forth on every side
Abolitionism here; seoessionism there; hc-
iquisiton and fllibusterism elsewhere. These
were the formidable elements of misrule
with which the Executive had to cope. How
well he met, and how entirely he, for the
time, overcame these enemies of the peace
OF the republic, we leave the historian to re-
late; but cur retrospect would be incom-
plete and disingenious, did we not accord
the mede of praise justly due TO high moral
excellence and intellectual and administra-
tive honesty and talent as developed in the
administration of Mr.. Fillmore"
