Dr Hill, of Brunswick, spoke in support of Iho resolutions, and pissed an eloquent en'ogium upon President Fillmore. Noman had ever been placed in a mere Irving post- lion.

The speaker then alluded lo Ihe bitterness With which he is as. sailed in Ihe North, and read an extract from' sn Abolition print, ssaailing hi character , and Administration. These assault he elo- j qnenily and indignantly repelled, and .poke of the convulsions which agitated the coun- try during Iho pendency ol the compromise measure, and ihe noble stand taken by him regardless of sectional prejudices. To lhat stand, he said, the country is mainly indebted for Ihe peaceful termination of one ol Ihe most fearful atorms which has ever threat- cned tt, and lhal, loo, without the Ions ol sec-' lional honor or the aheddtng of one drop of blood. Of Millard Fillmore it wa. unnecea sarv to aay anything more ; hia name and worlh are engraven upon the heart of every j American cilizen.

He wa. totally unprepared for making a speech, but, Ike his fnend, Mr. Miller, was never disposal to shrink from a call made upon him by fellow Wluga.
