We notice that some Of the Sag Nicht pa
pers are quoting letter purportlng TO have
been written by Willard Fillmore to an abo-
lition convention in lS45. The letter had no
responsible endorser: but that is matter Of
no consequence. Miliard Fillmore has acted
as the Presidentof the United States, and that
at one Of the most trying Period, in the bis.
tory Of the Government. He proved himself
equal TO every emergency; aud il is now too
late in the day TO raise against him the.mad :

The Ashevle Spectator suggests that the American
state Convention proposed to be held al Grccnsbo-
rough The 10th Of April adopt resolution deelsr-
ing il to be the sense Of the Convention that the no.
mines Of the pag for Governor should NOT canvass the
State in person, provided the Democratic Stale Con.
ven,isn adopt a similar resolution.
In urging this course the Spectator says:
" We have long been OF the opinion that
the custom that has obtained in this State,
Of the candidates for Governor canyassng the
State in person. should be done away with.
The simple custom itself, to say nothing Of
Tie utter want ii dignity and downright black
guar,Iism. that have characterized many can
vases in our knowledge, is unworthy Of the
Office Of Governor. The Executive Office u
this State being neither one Of profit nor Of
much responsibility, 50 Gar rs coordination
and the dispensation Of patronage are con.
cerned, should, at least. be one Of honor, dig
nifty. and respeetabiIity."

expressed By years ago. and VIC hope il il no, too
