A COWARDLY INSULT TO EX-PREsI-
DENT FILLMORE.

We copy the following from the Boston
Traveller:
Willard Fillmere's house, in Buffalo, disPlayea
no mourning last Monday, unlike those Vi o'hei
persons in his street-whereupon a crowd as
sembIed and covered the front OF the mouse WIN
ink. Fillmore, who 10 an OLD rogue, mus "a.
been much annoyed, as he hates everything ino'
10 black. Ex President Pierce oenaVes we"' IN
erpetcally condemning the murder OF Mr.. LIN
coin.
We cannot forbear to express our sincere
regret that such term of reproach should be
applied by any journal to Ex-Presidens FIJI
more. There is not citizen OF New YORK OF
sny other state who less deserves the offens-
i've appellation to which we refer. We have
not always ooncurred with Mr.. Fillmore
opinions, but that he is a thoroughly honest
p.triotic and high.toned gentleman we never
heard questioned by any man OF any party
before. We feel sure that the editors OF the
Traveller will recall, SIS far as may be done,
the groundless aspersion, as soon as they
know the facts in relation to the causeless
mob. assault upon the residence OF Mr.. Fill
more. These facts, as stated by the Buffalo
Commercial Adrertsser, a republican paper
are substantially as follows: The facts oc-
Cured on Saturday, the day of the reception
of the news of the presidents death. Mrs.
Fillmore was sick, and after going to the post
Office in the morning Mr.. F. did not leave his
house during the day, and had no knowledge
or intimation that other citizens were dis
playing mourning. In fact, but few In the
city did so on that day and the paper refer
red to says that Mr.. F. naturally felt that an
ostentatious show of grief might be misun-
derstood.
The Buffalo Courier, democratic paper,
referring to this matter, says:
No more patriotic citizen, no more jealous
friend of the Union, more earnest and thought
full ell-wisher of his country, no more conscien-
tious supporter of the constituted authorities In
all efforts calculated to promote the public veal,
lives in the city or out of ID than Hon. Willard
Fillmore. History will do justice to him, and let
Us hope, to his cowardly assailanss.

koBBERr.-On. Thursday night the
grocery store of Mrs. Emma j. Whit
tingham, on the south side of the basin,
was burglariously entered and robbed
Of several thousand dollars worth Of
bacon. -four, and other provisions. Off
Ger Morris was subsequently informed
by Samuel Jeter, . youth Of very bad
character, that he knew where the bacon
could be found; but, upon searching,
failed to find any. Jeter and another
boy, named Lewis Dunn, (both of whom
were before the Mayor yesterday as idle
boys and of evil famc), were suspected
Of committing the robbery, as they have
since been seen to have large amount
Of money about them, supposed to have
been obtained through the sale of their
stolen plumber.
