The truth is simply this: as President
Fillmore was not The blatant and ultra alb.
oIitionist Of 1884 and by his eomparative
though compulsory moderation he provok-
ed the hostility OF his associates. The
South, justified in anticipating any and ev-
cry sort of attack upon their rights, were
agreeab|y surprised by his signature Of the
fugitive slave law. Yet because they
made lucky escape once, they do not
feel disposed TO repeat ,he hazardous ex-
pertinent of elevationg an Abolitonist to
the Presidency. Harmless in the hands
OF Democratic Congress, Fillmore might
be e'aboIdeped by the support of Black
Republican maturity to redeem The pledges
of his Erie Letter, and to crafty the pref
udices against slavery which he drank in
with his mothers milk, and has cherished
from syouth up. In any event. it is not
at this crisis Of extreme peril that the South
should repose its confidence in a man of
doubtful fidelity TO its interests.

COLD REGIONS EXTENDING II well known
as matter Of history, tina. when Greenland
was discovered it possessed a much warner
climate than 1t does at present The ice
packs have been extending south from tb e
polar regions for some centuries, and the
northeast coasts Of our continent are much
colder than they were three centuries ago
The cause of this is not well understandable
fact only is known 1t is believed by some
persons that there is a great eddy in sOme
parts of the polar ocean which sometimes
changes its direction, and, by drifting large
icebergs from one place to another, changes
the climate of those places whence they are
drifted by the presence of such masses Of ice
dfusing their low temperature to great dis
tances. In the month Of July last, the White
Sea was blocked up with huge mountains of
ice, and the commerce Of Archangel stopped,
something which never happened before.
In the Farce Islands snow fell in the valleys
in the middle of July, the like of which also
never happened before. If this drift OF ice
continues regularly for a few seasons, tbe
coasts of the White Sea will become as inhos-
pitable as those of Greenland now are Sea-
sntife AmericaR.
