The Richmond Enquirer.

No man can deny that the precocious youth
who conducts the Richmond Enquireris really
afellow Of genius, and had he been kept at school
a year or two longer, instead of being intro
duced SO early upon the political stage, ewould
doubtless have made his mark in the history
of his time. The great and prominent peculi-
arity of this youth, is his quick perception,
and the peculiarity Of this peculiarity in
him, (if we may be allowed SO to express our.
self is, that whilst with the rapidity of vision
itself, he perceives the bearing of an idea, or
an argument, his perception always stops at
the precise point, where further comprehen-
sion Of the subject would be fatal to the pur-
poses Of his investigation. This is a most re-
markable faculty, and we take pleasure, not
only in awarding to him its possession, but
also in giving an instance of its exhibition.
In the issue of the Enquirer dated the 9th
instant, this favored youth has an article under
the head of: "Ff1lmore a6ides 6y has ante
csdents. s.--Ls opposed to the extension Of slaoe-
ry.-Important testimony from responsible
man"
The subject of the article is letter from Hi
ram Ketchum, of New York, to the New York
Courier and Enquirer, in which letter Mr..
Ketchum declares that the Whig party of the
North has always been opposed to the exten-
sion of slavery-that Mr.. Fillmore had always
been true to that party, and has never enter
tained "any other principle but that which
would prevent the further extension of slave
ry.n Mr.. Ketchum quotes in proof of his opin-
ion that Mr.. Fillmore is opposed to the extern
sion of slavery, the following extract from Mr.
Fillmore's Rochester speech, to-wit:
"I have no hesitation in saying, what most of
you know already, that / was decidedly opposed
to the repeal of that Missouri Compromise Good
faith as well az the peace of the country, seemed
TO require that compromise which had stood for
than thirty years should not be wantonly dis
turbed. Those we're my sentiments then, fully and
freely expressed verbally and in writing to all my
friends North and South, who solicited my opin-
ion. This repeal seems TO have been a Pandoras
box out of which have issued all the political evils
that now afict the country, and scarcely leaving
hope behind. Many, perceive, are ready to inn
pute all the blame to our Southern brethren But
Ia this just No, mol 1t must be borne in mind
that the measure originated with Northern Sena-
tor, and was sustained and sanctioned by North
ern President"
Mr.. Ketchum then states that, in has own
recent speech at New Haven, (which was
subject OF a difference between himself and the
New York Courier.-sn Enquirer he proceed
ed thus
"Nov, my friends, what would Mr. Fillmore
dof Well, \ cannot undertake TO say phat he
would do, but, In my judgment, he would exercise
all his power and influence in favor Of limiting
slavery to where il is"

Hon. PERCY WALKER.-This gentleman has ad-
dressed letter to DR.. LIE Vert, of Mobile, in rea-

desertion of the American party. He remarks
"I was elected to Congress not to vote for Mr..
Fillmore or Mr.. Anybody else, but to sustain and
carry out the principles advocated upon the
stump, and no one can say that have fatered in
their support. | was voted for and elected as an
avowed Southern Rights man, and am still un-
changed.
"Upon the adjournment Of Congress shall re-
turn home and address the people in vindcation Of
my conduct, and now challenge you, and those
who acted with you in the meeting Of the 14th in
stant, to meet me face to face before our fellow
citizens, and show, if you can, when and where /
have surrendered single principle professed
when elected--to show when and where have
failed in efforts to inaugurate what believed to be
the leading policy of the party-to show when and
where / have been unmindful of the interests of
the district or State-when and where have been
regardless of my obligations as Southern man, or
failed in the performance of the duties devolving
on me as Representative.
Il trust that the challenge will be accepted
Those who are so quick to strike blow should be
ready to justify it."

TIE VIcrM!-It is well understood, (ssys the
Albany statesman,) by the knowing ones, that
neither Mclean nor Seward would strike hands with
the great "Thurlow" as TO certain conditions.
Both were cast aside in consequence. Well might
the great Senator from New York say to an ac-
quaintance, IL have been made victim by my
professed friends" Be it known to all voters in
this nation, that the election of Fremont secures
the Presidency in point of fact to the greatest of
all demagogues in the country, the great Thurlow

Missouri Election

1t was, at the last election, undecided whether
the Democratic or American candidate was elected
Lieutenant Governor of Missouri. The official
returns from one hundred and four counties gave
Newland, the American candidate, 24s plurality
over jackson, Democrat Three counties remain
ed to be heard from.
The report that Ewing, If elected, intended re-
turning to the Bentonian party, of which he was
formerlya member, operated very seriously against
him in the canvass. fNewland had been nomi-
mated for Governor he would robably have been

FILLMORE IN New YoRK.-The editor of the
Brooklyn Evening Star, after taking atour through
New York State gives the following as his impress
sions as TO what Mr. FiIlmore's chance in the EN-
pire State viii be:
On the whole, our brief tour has impressed us
with certainty of our success in this State With
l82, 900 registered votes-with our Fillmore and
Donelson Clubs-with the valuable assistance of
the old-line Whigs-with accessions of old-line
Democratic the Protestant associations, with
State officers, &c, if we cannot beat faction in
the form of mock Republicanism and sham Demo
cracy then indeed is New York lost to all sense OF
patriotism, and the proud position which she occu-
pies in the galaxy of stars. Good cheer, friends,
New York Is all right.

BosToN, Sept THE enameing works OF Mr..
Tenniston were destroyed by fire last night, inclu-
ding very large stock on hand. The loss is esti-
mated at SIT 900, with an insurance of $I4, 900.
The seventh passenger train on the Eastern Rail
road made a narrow escape on Friday evening, the
draw of the Charles river bridge being open as It
approached, and was not perceived until the train
was SO near as to admit of its being stopped only

MAINE.-The election for State officers takes
place in Maine to-day. There are three candi-
dates for Governor-Hamlin, Republican; Wells,
Democrat; and Patten, Wing. Mr.. Hamlin, it is
supposed, is not as strong as Fremont, in conse-
quence of having been identified for a quarter Of
a century with the Locofoco party. The Whig
candidate will not, probably, receive more than
5000. The Fremonters are confident of victory,
and the Democrats also claim the State. Howell
Cobb, James L. Orr, and Stephen A. Douglas,
have declared that if the Democrats do not carry
Maine, they shall despair of the election of Bu-
chanan.

CoIcAGo, Sept. 5th.--it is presumed here that
the Mr.. Phillips reported in the despatch from st

responds with the New York Tribune from Kansas
is at present absent from the Territory.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-The st. Louis Democrat
publishes statement by the Free-soilers who ar.
rived here yesterday confirming the burning of Os-
sawattomie. They say tbere were 60 FreesoiI-
ers in the town at the tme and the attacking party
numbered four hundred. Several Free-soilers were
killed, and seven were taken prisoners Two were
afterwards shot. Brown and bis son were killed.
They also confirm the killing of VIM. Phillips at
Leavenworth by party of Southerners under Cap
tain Emery, and the driving out of the Territory Of
all persons unwilling to take against the Free

The Massachusetts whis Convention.

The Boston papers Of Thursday give full reports
Of the Wing State Convention held in that city ON
the preceding day. Addresses were delivered by
Hon r. @. Winthrop, Hon. J. Thomas Stevenson,
Hon. George Hillard, and others The attendance
was large in numbers and imbodied many Of the
most influential Wings of the State A series OF
resolutions were adopted, as follows:
!. Resolved, That the Whig party of Massachn-
setts sees nothing In the events OF the past year,
or in the present political condition OF the coun-
try to lead them TO the belief that 1t is their duty
to abandon their organization, or 10 shake their
faith in the principles 80 long maintained and 30
often declared which lie at the foundation OF their
political creed the first and foremost of which is,
unwayering fidelity to the Union and the Constitu-
ton.
q Resolged That the opinions heretofore ex-
pressed by the Wing party of Massachusetts, upon
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise are still
their opinions, only confirmed by time; and they
believe that the fierce and dangerous elements OF
discord let loose by that act can never be put
to rest until that healing measure shall be pract
caly re-enacted, and the territory once solemnly
dedicated to freedom be received into the Union
as free State.
3. RESOLVED, That the Union was formed to "es-
tablish Justice insure domestic tranquility, pro-
mote the general welfare and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and posterity; and every
| administration into whsse hands the government
of the country is intrusted is bound to observe
these cardinal points of public duty in their policy
| But the present administration has been faithless
to its trust in all these points, in its proceedings
from first to last In regard to the Territory Of Kan
sas, which are the sole and sufficient Of that
sectional strife that is setting part of the
country against the other, which it is the para
mount duty of all good patriots to appease.
| A. Resolped, That, while this Convention recog-
nises the fact that the Whig party of the country
has as yet no distinct Presidential candidate Of its
own in the field, yet we cannot refrain from sig
nifying our preference for Millard Fillmore over
| the other candidates who have thus far been NOM
mated for the Presidency, on account OF his emf
nent personal qualifications for that Office and the
signal ability with which he has before discharged
| its duties.
The Courier says that motions to strike out the
fourth resolution of the committee, commendatory
of Mr. Fillmore and to substitute therefor abstract
and indefinite language, which would be an abso-
lutte defeat of the Convention, were voted down,
almost unanimously, and the resolution was passed
through with little or no dissent. The Fillmore
feeling prevailed so intensely throughout the Con-
vention that there was no opportunity to get up
feeling against it.

THE MOUNT VERNON HoUsE.-The cost of this
house, recently destroyed at Cape May, was 1928
900; of the furniture, $4,000. There was no
insurance. The house was owned by Messrs. Cain
and Foster.
The dining room, which was 425 feet long, and
go feet in width, was capable of accommodating
5000 persons. There were 432 rooms in the
building. II was claimed that the Mount Vernon
was the largest hotel in the world.
Melancholy as the disaster is, it is most fortu-
nate circumstance that the fire did not occur during
the bathing season. There were no guests in the
house at the time, and Col. Foster, the surviving
proprietor, was in Philadelphia.
The passengers from Cape May report that nine
persons were burned by the fire at the Mount
Vernon Hotel. Mrs. Cain was not among the VIC
tins. Most of the furniture had been previously
removed by the proprietors.
An Irish woman had been arrested for setting
fire to the building.
