We clip the following letter from the New Yorl
Evening Post Of the Both ult Iteontans some sount
advice to those miserable party hacks who try tt
make political capital out Of the private affairs O
the different candidates. besides containing wither
ing reproof to the gentleman mentioned by the Albany
| Journal: @#
Aessrs. Editors-The following article appears il
your paper Of the 2Gth inst:
THE Albany Journal says, that gentleman who
contributed to the purse with which coach, etc, wa
purchased for Mr.. Fillmore in 1850 is opposed to Mr.
Fillmore now for two reasons, viz: First, that he
against the struggle for freedom and second that h
sold the coach that was presented to him.
Now, Messrs. Editors it is quite true that Mr., Fill
more did sell the carriage and horses presented t
him on his accession to the Presidency, and happel
to know the reasons for it, On his retirement from
the White House at Washington to his modest man
sion at Buffalo, he found that he had not only us
for the carriage but that his means would not in an
event warrant him, as prudent man (Which reolc
to say he isl in sustaining such an equlpage.
He therefore wisely concluded to dispose of ami
to invest the avails thereofin substantial AM
enduring memorials Of the kindness which had bee
manifested towards him by his friends, He accord
ingy, from the proceeds OF the sale, procured mos
elegant and massive service Of plate, ofseveral pieces
on each of which is a beautiful and well-conceive
inscriptions abiding to the gift stating the reason
its sale and the procuring of the plate as the apprc
pirate means by which to testify and perpetuate hi
gratitude to the friends who had by the original gift
honored him with that proof of their esteem.
Now, Messrs. Editors, let me ask you, let me as
your readers is there anything in all this with Whic
to reprove the ex-President? Permit me to add tina
in company with friend from this city subscribe
to the original present, and who commended Mr.. FIJI
more for the manner in which he had disposed of il
I had the pleasure, more than year ago. of inspec
ing the service referred to, and partakng from it
MFR. Fillmores hospitality.
And permit me to inquire when will politician
learn that it is far better to rely on the correctness
their own principles and the character of their ow
candidate for success than to deal in contemptib
scandal. IF the Albany correspondent will favor N
with his name and the amount of his subscription,
will Immediately send him the amount.
In the coming election shall do all I can to secu
the election of Col Fremont but without any atteml
to tarnish the fair fame and good name Of Millal
Fillmore. Respectfully yours,
'H JOSEPH HOyJE
