Willard Fillmore.

This patriotic ex- President voted the whole
Democratic ticket. Mt Buffalo, New York. on the
4th November. In letter to a friend, shortly
before the election he used the following Ian.
guage:
Enough of treasure and blood have already
been spent upon the negro question. am fully
persuaded that the unwise aud untimely agitation
of this subject gives strength to the rebellion aud
will cost millions of treasure and thousands of
lives and that there is no hope for anything else
but to restore the Union as il was, and the Con-
stitutiOn as it is. That all efforts Tor anything
else must end in abortion, anarchy and disco
luton
This honest statesman never belonged to the
radical school. He was of that purer type which
counted in its ranks, CLAY, WEBSTER. EVERETT.
CHoArE, WINTHROP, and HUST-that bright
galaxy of patriots which conferred honor on the
Wing National Party. AS early as 1856 he took
strong grounds against the sectional party in-
augurated at Pittsburg and baptised at Philadel-
pha, then aud now known as the Republican or.
ganization. He warned his countrymen then
that the success of that party would end in civil
war, and that the negro question would divide
the Union. Heaven grant that the wisdom of
his counsels may yet prevail, and that the bloody
minded agitatOrs Of the North and the rebel
traitors of the South may stay the arm of de-
struction raised against their bleeding country.
