' TtyB UNION OF THE STATES.
Uodtr tint head the Ntional Intelligencer
W to. article f (treat force and beauty,
filling four of it toiumn. It commences as
follows ;
Th Convention 'of.? tlia Wh'ga of the
DiiiUtl States,' recently assembled at Balti
more, among other resolution! expressive of
their sentiment, placed at the head of them
all, a no less first in order than foremost in
importance, the declaration of ? their reve
rence lor -the Constitution of the United
State, their unalterable attachment to the
National Union, and a fixed determination to
ut all in their power to presets them for
themselves and tlieir posterity.' At a period
when, in the judgment of many, the stability
a.f tint Constitution and the integrity of the
Union founded upon it sr, if not menaced
with danger the most immediate, at least
passing through an ordeal sufficient to awak
en (lie graet consideration on the part of
all thoughtful and patriotic citizens, such a
declaration cannot but he regarded as equally
appropriate in its terms and timely iq its
iirotnulgitioo, as serving at least 10 show in
conjunction ft difficulty and' trial what the
Whigs think of the Republic.' "
And, after -adducing many argument in
favor ol the value of the Union, expressing a
XMHifiilent belief in its permanency, and con
tending that the selection of a sectional Pre
sident would be no justification for di "solu
tion, the Intelligencer closes with the follow
ing beautiful paragraphs:
At the very origination of the Constitu
tion under which we live, and when men like
Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, were commend
in it to the adoption of the people, it was
held by the defenders ol that instrument
Almost ' superfluous to odor argument to
f rove the utility of the Union. Still less at
this day do w eJeera it necessary to argue the
wm th of that Union, after nearly a century's
experience ol its uatolJ and incalcuiuble Wet
ting. As wet I might we seek to prove the
value to man of a sun in the heavcus, and. as
nothing but a physical blindness the most in
curable could lead any to doubt of this lat
ter, so nothing but a political blindness the
snost judicial can furnish to us an explana
tion of the indifference manifested by some to
the idea of a severance of the tie which binds
us to one country, one constitution, and
one destiny.' The causes which in the be
riuniog led to the formation of the National
Union siill survive in all their binding force,
and the avowed objects of its formation as
found in the common defence of the me n
tiers ; the preservation of the public p'ace, as
well against internal convulsions as external
attacks; the regulation of commerce with
other nations the-superintendence of our
intercourse, pol tical ami commercial, with
foreign countries still exist to plead in be
Iu If of its perpetuity. And of the causes
which rendered a union of the States not only
a political necessity but a natural outgrowth ( , i?e peii3eil ot,er than such" as might

. A LETTER FROM MB. FILLMORE.
It is a source of the highest satisfaction to
us to lay before our readers the following let
ter from Mr. Fillmore, the original of which
is in the possession of the Augusta (Ha.)
Chronicle. This leaves no longer the shadow
of a doubt as to the conservative and patriotic
position of our candidate. People of the South
read it. and then decide whether a man who
thus boldly stands out in defence of your
rights and'interests i nut most worthy of
your support. Like a true patriot he has uo
opinion lor the South which he does not pro
claim at the North. The whole nation ought
to stand by such a man ; men of the South
especially! you owe it to yourselves and the
country, to stand by him.'and unite with the
great army of conservative patriots in electing
him to the first office in the world ;

therefore, suffer him to die while he i wast

We notice that several eunservative !
lo-'ojlt to t ie oj'h bare Utelj advocated
tor-
the
restoration nf the Miss turi Compromise as
the most suitable remedy for the present un
happy and distracted condition of the coun
try. ." Could the- Souih see the error which
was committed in its repeal, and voluntarily
come forward for its restoration, it would ufl
once etui all controversy, but tins we con
ceive Jo be morally impossible. Therefore,
we cauuot forbear to remark that we consi
der the discussion of this question at this
time as unwise and ill-timed. The subject
which) now absorbs public attention is the
spproaching Presidential election, and we
cannot see that the restoration of the Mis
souri Compromise i a question whi.-h the Na
tional Executive will ever, in his official ca
pacity, be called to consider. The Missouri
Comnroniise line was established by an act
of Congress it was repealed by an act of
Congress; ami, it it is ever restored, it re
quires an art of Congress to reinstate it. If
the question of its restoration is of any im
portance In the Presidential election, it must
be because thereat a likelihood, or at least a
possibility, that Congress will pass an act for
that purpose, which will be submitted tu the
President for his approval. H it is certain
beforehand that no such act will ever come
before the President, the whole question is
frivolous and idle, or at last has no pertinence
to the Presidential election.
We suppose it will noi be eontrnverted tint
if Conor ever pities an act reinstating ihe
Compromise, il will be prior to the passage of

State Subsequent to that event, it renration
would amount to nothing, fur rh two-fold rea
son that Cmijriws has no constitutional powtr

and that, even if it possessed the power, its ex
ereiie would be e'nhei idle or iinp-sible idle
it Kansa fhould come in a a fiee State im
possible if she should come in as a Slave Sute ;
for itie same mijurity which adinittr-d her a
such would prevent the restoration. The whole

plause. When he took an oath to administer
the taw of the Union fanhltiHy, it meant soon
thing. He locked ba k lo the early formation
of this government, and when rebellion first
reared its head, he saw that (Sen. Washington
knew and h It this was a con .uy of laws, and
the mo'iieut ihe laws woe tram pled upon, tin
maiiei ho distasteful lo any section of the
Union, they must be executed, or this govern

thai the record of that country will show.
Applause, Let every American consjder and
confess that " none but himself ran be hi par-all-l."
But this much I will say : had the disturb
ance which now exist in thi country com
tnenC'd during the ailmin stration of Millard
Fillmore, he woul'd hue cru.lu d them at the
outset. Loud applause, snd cries of " that
is the'fct." Hhout claiming anything for
military reputation, standing bdore the win Id
as a civilian only, he would have shown an
example tu those of military fame, nuw in
high office, which would have made them hide
their heads. Laughter and applause. What
have ynu seen ? I stop not now toenter upon
the question of whose may be the excess of
Maine in tin agitation; I stop not to s it the
exaggerated account on either side ; I only
say that ciil war rage throughout the laud
that brothers' hand are dipped in brother'
blood, and that upon every return made to
the department of your gi(tcrmne t they re
main at d nnh at the bleeding victim of thi
inglorious contest. Su It would not have been
the case under the adminitiatioii of Millard
Fillmore, beer.
Am I asked luriher why my preference is
for him ? It is because the victory of either
of the other candidates en tin nothing tu
quiet the agitation of this country. What is
true of rommunitie is true of nation, and
let either of the other candidate obtain tem
porary triumph in this election, it it in my
opinion but to keep the contest open with
increased iti-teol of subdued irritation. Can
vas it by every thing around. I ak the men
nf the S mill who know the feeling that now
exist, if they are to withdraw in esse of the
election of Col. Fremont. I ask iny North
ern brethren, from whom I'differ on thit tub
jeet, are they to sit down q iietlvnd submit
to what Ihey may dislike in the administra
tion of Mr. Buchanan, should he chance to be
elected, by the entire Southern vote, joined
with one or more Northern Slates f No,
neither! But I believe in my innermost heart
that nothing but the election nf Millard Fill
more, or tome man who could be placed ex
aetly in hit position, can ever stop thit wat
that i now raging; upon our border. Ap
plause. I ought l.f-e nerhspt to tsy. a freely at I
have stood op to declare it at the North, that
I consider the nomination there made iihav -
in linen made entirely upon sectional St ound,
and, that no man can for u moment dispute it.
There hS. been some comment upon me
speech made by Mr. Fillmore at Albany. It
he had not itnidl' that speech snd been assailed
for making it, I would not have been upon
the stump, as it is called, to -defend him.
Applause. Sir, those around me well know
mat 11 wa my iiiieniion, uiui"ugu u,
ions were very decided, not tn have entered
upon this campaign, but when I saw senti
ments so purely national and patriotic, coin
ini from him, seized upon and inisrepresen-
lud, I said to myself," Well, if this is thegame
and it is a Iree tight, count me in. uaugn-
terand applause. No matter, my ft tends, how
hard the knocks "between now and next No
vember, if my life is spared, 1 will not ask
any man to " count me out." Laughter and
applause.
What was Ihe doctrine ? It was that no
sretion of this country could submit to an
administration chosen und conducted upon
sectional grounds. Does that declare that
sudden revolt and rebellion is tu arise out
ol it? No such thing f but with a power
in Congress that can control one or the other
branch of the government, and with an ad
ministration unfriendly to a particular sec
tiou of the country, do you suppose that it
could go on lor a month without being uiocn
ed? Look at it in a practical point of view
and tee if Mr. Fillmore wat not right. All
I have to say i. not referring to it as
Northern question,, shouUI the South com
bine, and should it have power enough from
two or thre Stales to attempt to control the
action of this government and carry iton with
out reference to the North, lie who would not
resist it is more of a doughface than 1 am. I
ask no more I mm the South llitm 1 would
claim for the North.
But, my friends, I have already detained
vou too Ion. TCriet of ' Co on." I was in
hope not to have been called upon to address
ynu, at any rate until after the committee
should have reported. But I must say one
word to this old Whit; party. It is the only
party that seems to me to thrive upon de
feat ; it is the only party that has ev.r exis
ted in this country, iu whnn under every
sarietv of circumstance, under whatever dis
appointment of triumph or defeat, whenever
an old Whig met an old Whig, there wa no
stun lliinir a a sectional line mat oiviueii
them North and South. Appla-isc It i that
which has carried on '.hm Wmg party and kept
up its heart during nil the reverses through
which it has gone he who lived South knew
and felt that there a a man North who
cherished thi national feelm;, and who would
defend it. So has it been, and I trust it
will be. TA little disturbance of some sort
; the croud at the further end of the hall
belong to the Whis party. C'-ui'l,,0
were presently made to the speaker logo on.
1 ilou' t whetlicr I ought go on. I His
much however I feel disposed to say ; that in
my humble belief there is in this body of men
here assembled a power to control this con
test and settle it thi lull. Cheer-. It
strikes me that, as connected with one divis
ion of the opposing parlies, coming events
have already cast their shadow before them,
and lhat is this body nf. Haul Whigs coining
up in unanimous voice snd declaring that
nothing shall seduce or frihten them, and
that nooodv shall betray litem from the support
of Millard Fillmore. Twenty day will not
have elapsed before you wi I sre such an ac
cumulation of force to the rank of Mr. Fill
more a i now claimed for Mr. Fremont.
