Post-Omce Of this city.
Probably under the whip Of this deficit, Mr.. pa~l.
was compelled by the Administration TO take ~.
than commonly bitter part against Judge Douesa. !.
Charleston. His own undoubted choice. howe.
was for Vice-President Breckenridge, with vhn,. =
has long been On terms Of the most confidential nd
macy; and next after Breckenridge he was in fs,o,
as his vote showed, Of bis old friend in the Pe,es ca
met, ex-Secretary Guthrie. These things ass al,
mentioned at this time in order to contradict the a.
and malicious rumor that Mr.. Fowler, az Chsrlxhs
did not oppose the vote of the New-York Deleeui,
in favor of Judge Douglas with all his strength 1
company with Messrs. Butterworth, Reynolds, Cksk
rane. and Barlow, be did all that he could 10 earyo
the wishes of Mr.. Buchanan; and possibly fer Ia
reason be may lave expected Official protection nd
after the 18th Of June. Mr.. Fowler had many saa
friends in the Senate Of the United States and htcs
litica action has Of late seemed 10 be entirely co.
troled by the views of Messrs. Gwin, Shelis aA
Bigler acting on behalf Of the President.
Il is but just to say, in conclusion, that wle Ia
friends of Mr. Fowler have nothing 70 say in dessnss
Of bis conduct in this particular matter, there woaR
appear TO be felt for the himself the snees u1
mcst fervent compassion. All speak Of him as Of NJ
bic nature wrecked ard ruined by imprudenee; a.
man capable of the finest and most generous feeiag
gradually warped into an oblique and sinister eours
Always TO any story Of misery misfortune HE eyes
filed with tears, and bis hand opened, letting fan
whatever sum might chance 10 have been the momeu;
before in bis pocket In this way he was often grew
ously imposed upon and the result s that his beDeyo
lence must be rated higher than his justice.
Socially, Prince Of Good Fellows in whatever 6f.
Gle he moved he not much witty himself a. Ne
cause of w.t. or at least cheerfulness, in others. He
bad most afable and courtier-lke manner winnins
smile, spirit oyous in spite of its burdens and
sympathy acntely sensitive TO all variations Of tenn

contact. Never suited by nature 70 be the leader Of
party he was still more united for such post by ths
false position in which he stood with regard TO mey
He allowed personal obliga,ions-perhap was eO~
PEELED to allow them-to unduly sway his political con
duct; and from his weakness in never being able 70
say No" to clamorous or fearful applicant, be wa
betrayed into making promises which be could have
no reasonable hope of fulfilling. This produced
him many bitter enmities while the other AIDE Of be
character made compensation in as many friends.
Over the ruin of his prospects and life there are
many in all circles who viii sincerely mourn. He
stood ON eminence from which the descent is ESr
full; and there many hundred homes "a the cry
