Lying back IN MS big arm chair, the
zsge of Buffalo said, "Our troubles are

Mr.. Fillmore tells me that the New
York politicians trouble him every
summer with persistent applications
for coud uctorships and other Offices on
the roads running to Buffalo and the
Falls. he has no influence, he says,
in that direction. As ] was about TO

PTessiveness: when our country YVES
tossed and rent with the horror OF civil
war, walked my room until midnight;
