Marriage of Ex.President Fillmore.

ALBANY, Thursday, Feb. IL, 1858.
Married last night the Schuyler Mansion in this city,
by the Rev. DR.. Hague, the Hon. Willard Fillmore Ex-
President OF the United States, to Mrs. Caroline C. Nc
lntosh of this CITY, The bride belongs to the Schuyler
family, and the widow Of Alexander Hamilton is her
great aunt.
For this piece of news, we feel unusual
thankfulness. If Mr.. FILLMORE experiences
joy at the event, surely the public will be
overjoyed. lie has been so long marrying
and given in marriage by the eastern news
papers, as if he was q sovereign prince or a
great man, that it is comfort to have the
event over, that he may subside again to his
proper level-that of the distinguished indi-
vidual who will go down to posterity on
historic page, as the man who gave Infamous
vitality by his signature to the Fugitive
Slave Law, that made man-hunting ground
of the northern States, and consigned inno-
cent souls to the bondage of the southern
bells, they and their property forever. Ii
posterity for him, is the result of this mar
rage, ought he not dread for them the retri-
button of Holy writ-"For 1 will visit the
iniquities of the father upon the children, un-
to the third and fourth generation"

WINsLow House, Feb. 20, 1858.

To the Editors ofute Ninnesotian:
In the report of the speech Of Col. ROB-
ERTsoN last night, l find the following Ian
guage imputed to me, in the remarks made
at the meeting of the 18th:
"Mr. Beman had declared he was fast
man-would rather go to the devil in cars
than on foot"
l said no such thing. Ny language was ::
" You (anti-Railroad men) say that We
shall go to the devil if you help build these
roads. know that we will 60 to the devil
unless they are speedily built. Therefore
the only question is, whether We shall go on
foot or in the cars"
1 hope Col. R. is not always thus unfair
and inaccurate in quoting an opponent.
Yours, &C.,
SAM. s. BEMAN.

this morning, being an adjourned meeting
from Thursday, resolved, first to dispose of
the Army bill, and then to take MP the bill
fori the admission of Minnesota, to which will
be offered an amendment to admit Kansas at
the same time.
The bill or amendment to the Minnesota
bill for the admission Of Kansas will contain
provision recognizing the right of the peo-
pie of that State to change their Constitution
at any time they please. This proposed
clause is intended to meet the objection
raised against that provision in the Lecomp-
ton Constitution which prohibits the change
in the Constitution till 1864. The bill will
pass the Senate by a majority of eight or ten
certainly. 1t is expected the bill will be
brought up on Tuesday, and nothing else
will be done till that is disposed of.

McKibbin, of California and Cox, of Ohio
