The Providence Post says:
In the second District five men were draft
ed who belong to the Society of Friends, o
whom two were exempted for physical dis
ability, and three were held for SERVICE
These latter declined to go, substitute OF
commute, on account Of conscientious scru'
pies. Their cases were held by Captain
Chadsey, VINO at their request communlca-
ted with the War Department in order to
ascertain if any relief could be afforded. de
received as for reply that as the draft was
under an act of Congress, the Executive oil
ticers had no discretion i'll the matter, and
therefore, these men, in common with al
conscripts must comply with the terms .
the law. This they declined 70 do, but ex
pressed themselves ready to meet any pen
atty that might be inflicted. On Tuesday
at Captain Chadsey's suggestion, they sur
rendered themselves up as deserters, AND
we're sent by him to Fort Columbus, New
York Harbor, where they expect to be
court martialed, and are not without hope
chat some avenue may bo opened for them
to escape WITHOUT compromising their con
sciences. In the First District but one mar
was drafted who STOOD in the position oI
these three. His case has not yet been ia

Ex.President Fillmore.

! Many ofoar readers viii be glad to SEE
again the following passage in a speech de-
livered at Albany, in the year 1856, by Ex
President Fillmore, showing the effect o.
the success of a sectional party, then just
formed, and every consequence of which,
as predicted by him, has ensued. As a
New York contemporary remarks: "Eve-
ry reader will deeply feel now, if never be.
fore, the truthfulness of the language"
"We see political party presenting
candidates for the Presidency and Vice,
Presidency selected for the first time from
the free States, alone, with the avowed
purpose of electing these candidates by the
suffrages of one part of the Union only, to
rule over the whole United States Can it
be possible that those wnc are engaged in
such measure can have seriously reflected
upon the consequences which must inevita-
bly, follow in case of success? Cheers. =
Can they have the madness Or folly to be-
lieve that our Southern brethren would
submit TO be governed by such Chief
Magistrate? Cheers,
Suppose that the South, hav
ing d majority Of the electoral Vote, should
declare that they would only have slave
holders for President aud Vice President,
and should elect such by their exclusive
suffrages TO rule over Us al the North. Do
yon think we would submit 10 it? Not for
u moment. Applause. And do you be-
Iieve that your Southern brethren are less
sensitive on this subject than you are, or
less jealous Of their rights? Tremendous
cheers. If you do, let me tell you that
you are mistaken. And therefore, you
must see that if this sectional party sue
ceeds, it inevitably leads to the destruction
of this beautiful fabric reared by our fore
fathers, cemented by their blood and be-
queathed TO US as priceless Inheritance.

Colonel Hill as telling General Custer, un-

Regiment, in which he says that ne had an
interview with General Custer, as stated On
the 18th Of August, but that 1t had refer
