The Washington Union is making ex- traorilinary efforts to dissuale the South ern Whigs from reposing cntnfidenee in Mr. Fillmore, and his faimius RufTalo let ter is of course jraraua n of all its ar guments. The R( public well replies: “As IVesident of the I'nited States, !Mr. Fillmore has indicated his policy on the slavery question by his acts, and by the language (d‘ his annual nu‘>sage, which, according to the Union, des'rved to be written in “h'tters of gold.” That policy was dictated by the hirhest eonsiilerations of public luty, aud th(*re were nf> jirevious pledges in tln> way to embarrass him in its discharge. When the Union, therefore, insinuates that President Fillmore’s opin ions fourteen years ago on certain ques tions connected with slavery sbouhl ext ite the distrust of the Southern Whigs, it is only neces.sary in rejily to jioint to his act.s.” Yes.

We i|Uoted his own language; if he cIkhis- es m^w to rejilv to his own words—whit h it will be recollectcil were a “complete answer” to his first h*tter—we have noth ing to .say, except that the assertion and retraction and re assertion of charges by Mr. Gorsuch, jiroves that he is either crazy or wor.se. So much for the reliability of the .lournal’s witness.

The queries of Hamilton and the answer of Madison make it clear, be yond all controversy, (says the Times,) that the Union was formed with no under standing (Ml the part of the States that they might withdraw from it at their ]dea- sure, aud that Virginia and Nt-w Y'ork es- ]>ecially ratified the Constitution with a distinct uiidirstanding to the contrary. It is a little curious to observe the change of terms which has come about since the time when the Federal (,’onstitu- tion was atlopted. AVhat was riredinj from the Union then is a/rrt/int/ now; and from Mr. Jefter.son’s Paris letter lately published it seems that ronijnd.-don was in that day equivalent to the modern coercion.
