Some OF Mr. FILLMoRE's RECoRD.-We refer those
persons who do not know much of Willard Fillmore's
antecedents to the following letter written BY him in
answer to certain interrogatories:
Letter of Mr.: Fillmore to the Erie a6ozitionists
BUFFALO, October II, 1888.
SIR: Your communication of the 18th inst, as
chairman of a committee appointed by "the Anti
Slavery Society of the county of Erie" has just
come to hand. You solicit my answer to the follow
ing interrogatories:
list. Do you believe that petitions to Congress on
the subject of slavery the slave trade ought to be
received, read, and respectfully considered by the
representatives of the people?
3D. Are you opposed to the annexation of Texas
to this Union, under any circumstances, so long
slaves are held therein?
Sd. Are you in favor of Congress exercising all
the constitutional power possesses to abolish the
internal slave trade between the States? - ,-
4th. Arc you in favor of immediate legislation for
the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?
1 am much engaged. and have no time to enter
into an argument or to explain at length my reasons
for my opinion. l shall therefore content myself
for the present by answering your nterrogatores
in the AFFIRMATIVE and leave for some future occas-
ion more extended discussion of the subject.
am respectfully, your most obedt seryt: onr
w. MILLS, Esq, Chairman.
So, by the above letter it will be seen that the
know nothing candidate was, in 1888, opposed to
admitting Texas into the Union with slavery and in
favor of abolishing slavery in the District OF Column
bia In view of these sentiments it sounds srangeto
hear men denying that Mr.. Fillmore free
soiler The PRONUNCIATION Of just such sentiments
as the above, by prominent men, has been one OF
the main causes in bringing about the present ag-
tated state of affairs Fay. Ger.

nomination in that quarter falls coldly and unim

(ConnecticuD Register says: We take it for grant
ed that no important section of the American party
in the free States will support the nomination Of
Fillmore and Donelson made by the Philadelphia
convention" A very large number-estimated as
high as one.half-of the lodges in New York openly
repudiate the nomination Of their favorte son."

the Democrats and anti-K Ms of the State are mo-
