BuJ .Mr. Fillmore is aYVhg, and so far from getting credit for his wise and patriouc course', every act is perverted as jar aa Hu man ingenuity and craft can accomplish so difficult a tank.

They seize upon Jthe votes of the Northern Democracy for the Compromise as evidence ol their. soundness upon the s'avery subjec.yet hey denounce the President by whom the Compromise be came a law, a an abolitionist ! It is fortunate, however, that the American people possess the intelligence and the inde peudeoce foappreciai.e such eminent services MtnoeT rendered by Mr. Fil'more. They have themselves been witnesses of his bear ins'tn'Hhat gre-U battle-field of sections which tias nearly shaken the Union to its centre. They Well recollect the doubt and gloom which bung over the field before the dixec tiopo affairs was placed in hishands. They themselves saw with their own eyes, " how soon the sky became clear, and peace and. quiet were restored, after his administra tion commenced. To suppose that the Amer icanPeople can discard a man who has passed successfully through ibis trying-ordea', in tbeif own presence, is to at'ribute to them iicb ignorance and ingratitude as Republics have rarely displayed. J i Richmond Republican. i TRENCH SPOLIATIONS The bill to provide for the ascertainment and satisfactions of claims of American citi tens for French Spoliations prior o the 3 1st of July ,1801 was before the United Statea Senate tor a short lime on Monday. Brad bur? addressed the Senate at some leng'h in favor, of the bill, and o:i his motion an additional secion'was added, providing for the appointment of an attorney general to the Board, to be appointed by the President whose duty it shall he to resist all unjust Claims, and to protect the interests of the United States, with .power .o examine wit nesses and to cause testimouy to be taken; have access to all the testimony before the Commissioners for the purpose of examin ing U with a right to be heard in all cases ; Id be sworn to the faithful performance of u diiity. and to have the same compensa tion as one of the Commissioners. The ill was further amended in the seventh sec tion, so that the ceitificates of the stock shall be redeemable at the pleasure of the United States at any time w'uhin twelve months from the termination of the commis sion instead of twenty years as it originally stood. Further amendments were offered, on which a discussion arose that continued till the hour of adjournment. , Baltimore American.

THJ&iWHIS CONVENTION A We Toritee noVe ifrgeupiW; oar Whig friends th importance thle vital importance of going4 Jo Ra!ei fc: tdUhe - Convention, which' meets on the 26th ms'. We gave our reasons, why it is so important last week: It is, we hope, unnecessary to repeat. 'We will only repeat now, that not only the suc-s cess or failure of the Whig party at .the next election, and pojsib'y for an indefinite length "bt lime, may depend upon a full or sc nty attendance, of the delegates from the East ern Counties, but that their interests may al so bf vitally involved for good or for evil in Ut-&urte Jhe-Conveoiton shall adopt. A full attendance and a wise but temperate course by Eat rn members may and proba bly wM exert a controlling influence, oh the deliberations and he course of the Conven tion. We are gratified to be'ieve- that the Whigs of the State are becoming fully arous ed to the impor'ance of carrying the rxi election We incline to think the attendance from the Eastern Counties will be larger than has been usual at our Conventions; bn we make these remarks because we see and feel the great importance of a vet y full attend ance. We speak of Eastern interests being involved in the course the Convention shall pursue. We believe that they will b great ly effected one Way or the other by his Con vention. But let us not be understo-d as wishing to Ian the fires of secional strife and animosity. We have reason to hope that all Eastern -and Western Delegates will go to the Convention with proper feelings, deter mined whilst hey maintain a temperate and pror stand for the rights and interests of their respective constituents, to look to the good of the whole State, and to the success of the party, whose welfare and influence, must be becoming more and more dear to every true Whig Newbernian. THE EXPEDITION TO JAPAN In the U. S Senate on Mond -y a mes sage was r ceived from the P esident cover ing a report . from the Secretary o' State, made in comp iance with a re sol u ion of the Senate.of the 4' h ultimo, calling for copies ol all communications relative to the Empire of Japan that may be on file in either of 'he Executive Departments, which were order ed to be printed for the use of the Senate. The Intelligencer gives ihe following extract from the letter of President Fillmore to the Emperor of Japan : "1 send you by this letter an. nvoy of my wn appointment, an officer of high rank in his country, who fs no missionary of religion. He goes by mycommarid to bear to you my greeting and good wishes,, and to promo e friendship and commerce between the two countries. " You know that the United States of America now exlend from sea to sea; that the ure.it countries of Oregon and Ca ifornia are pans of the United States : and that from these countries, which are rich in gold and silver and precious stones, our steamers can reach the shores of your happy land in ess than twenty days. 'Many of our ships will now pass in every year, and some perhaps in every week be tween California and China; these ships must pass along the ceasts of your Empne ; 8torms and winds may cause them to be wrecked on your shores, and wh ask and expect; from your friendship and your great ness, kindness tor our men and protection for our property. We wish hat our people may be permitted to trade with your people, but we- shall pot authorize them to break anv law of your Empire. "Uur object is friendly commercial inter- cour-r, and nothing more. You may have productions which we should be glad 'o buy, and we have productions which miht suit your people. "Your Empire contains a great abundance of coal ; this is an article which our steamers ingoing from California to China must use They would he glad that a harbor in your Empire should be appointed to which coal might be brought, and where they might al ways be able to purchase it. 1 "In many other respects commerce be tween your Empire and our country, would be useful to both. Let us consider well what -new interests may arise from these re cent events, which h.ve brought our two countries so near together, and what purpo ses of friendly amity and intercourse this ought to inspire in the hearts of those who govern both countries." in these days ot strife and dissension, of disunion and upraidings, ihe following fable is peculiarly pointed. It is from the Mad ison Record, and compares with the best of iEsop : The Pin and the Needle A pin and a needle, says the American Fantaine, be ing neighbors in a work basket, and both be ing idle began to quarrel, as idle folks are apt to do "I should like to know," said the pin, what you are good for, ad how do you ex-p- ct to go through the world without a head?' What is the use of your head,' rep!ied the needle, rather sharply, 'if you have uo eye? What's the use of an eye?! said he piu, 'if there is always something in it?' 'I am more active, and can go through more work than you can.' said ihe needle. 'Yes but will not live long.' 'Why not?' Because you have always a stitch in your side, said the pin. You are a poor crooked creature,' said the needle. 'And you are so ptoud that you can't bend wi hoot breaking your back ' 'I'll pull your head off if you insult mp arrain (I'll V r. -o ".pun pur eye out it you touch me, rememoer your life hangs by a single .hread.' J While they were thus conversing a little girl entered, and undertaking to sew, she soon broke off the need le at the eye Then she tied the thread around the neck of the pin, and attempting to sew with it. she soon pulled its head off and ihrewutdown by the side of the broken needle. Well, here we are,' said the needle. We have nothing to fight about now said the. pin. It seems misfortune has brought us to our senses A pity we had not come-to them sooner. said the needle. How much we resemble human beings, who quarrel about their bles sings till they lose them, and never find out tney are bra hers till they he down in ihe oust together es we do.

DUMB. I f n; ; Wer have seldom seen a more imposing ceremony than that of confirmation at Saint Stephen s Episcophl Church.tin Uorystie street, corner of Broome, on bunday even ing. -Toe candidates, fifty-two in. number, were mostly females, and were dressed in white.- The ceremony was -conduced by bishop Chase, of New. Hampshire, assis'ed by Rev. Dr. Price, the-rector of the church, Rev. Thos. Gallaudet, and several other of the Episcopal clergymen of this city The most impressive feature was, that there wer- n'morig We candidates sbme six or eight deaf mules, voong ladies, mostly residents of the city'and gradua'es of our New ' Aork Institu tion. In this part or the ceremony the Bish op was assisted by Mr. Gallaudet, who in-terpre-ed into the sign language the ceremo ny as read, and likewise the Bishop's ad dress to the Candida es. jV Y Tribune. The Brewster Branch op the Mor mons. The IJUooid Jnirnal gives' the par ticulars ot the condi ion of the Brewster branch of the Mormon church. It appears that flver til een years ago a family by the name of Brewster came to Springfield, Illi pois. They weie Mormons, and had a weak ly boy of unusua talents. At twelve he wiote very well, and remembered a'l he read At this time .Mormons professed to 'speak in unknown tongues and to have reve lations from Heaven. The boy gave scope to bis day dreatps, and conceived that he was inspired to write out the los book o' Esdras. A hun jred or iti9e pages were prepared. They foreto d the establishment of a church on a different basis from that ot he Mormons, its emigration to the mouth f the Colorado, its ea ablishment and flourish ing condition there, and gave rules for its government. The divine character of these revelations by young Biewsser was be ieved in by a considerable body of people scattered over Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio The Journal states that the arrangement for some tirrt" in progress for the emigration of the church were so far completed in July a year ag that some forty families met at Independence, Missouri, and took uy their line of march for ihe Colorado, near i" mouth. Before their arrival at Santa Fe the company divided, and the whole of tne largest d visio i. under the direction of a M-. Goodale, perished by starvation ad the hands ot the savages on the Gila. Brewster and his party stopped on the Rio Grande, some distance below Santa Fe, and endeavored o make a sece rnent there, having discovered toa1 "hey could do so under a new explanation of the prophecy of the Book of Edras. Tne Journal has a letter from Socorro, the stopping-place of Brewster and his party, dated January 26 1852, sta'ing that sickness, starvation, and savages have about used up. ihe balance of these misguided people. The few left would return to the States if they had the means io get back. WHIG MEETING IN FRANKLIN.

WHIG CONVENTION IN VIRGINIA. During the lat week, the Whigs of Virginia held a State Convention in Richmond, which was largely atlended, and its proceedings were charac tenzedby harm my and zeal. Resolutions were aJoptfd approving the Admini.-iration of Mr lAllmore, expressing a puderence for him as the Whig Candidate for ihe Presidency, approving the t onipromise, and declaring thai it should be regarded 48 afio.il seitleinent ol the Slavery ques tion disapproving the doctrine of intervention, &c. Mark the contrast between the action of ihis body and the Democratic Coureutmn which assem bled in the same place but a few wee.s since ! The latter was entirely silent on the sulject of the Compromise in the Resolution which ii adopted. Why was this? What reason waa there for passing over in i'ence ihe most impor tant issue of the day ? Had tha Whig Conven ion actd thu, the whole South would have rung with charges of "non-committal,'' -'playing into the hands of Freesoilers,' from the organs of Loco tocoisui ! Th "Richmond Enquirer" 'endeavor., ed to apologise for and excuse its friends by in sisting that it was more p operly a matter for the action of the Bait more Convention. But how can ii be expected tha) 'he Baltimore Convention is lo speak out. boldly in behalf of ihe finality ol the Compromise when the Southern iSta'e Con ventions of ihe Parly give it the go by ! The truth is there is no unanimity, on this subject, in she Locofoco ranks of Virginia, as was shewn by tho Tote iu the House of Representatives a few days since, wheo a majority of tue Delegation" from that State, logeiher wiih the entire Locofnco Representatives from litis Slate, were found vo nig wan the vilest Abolitionisis against the Compro mise 1 "Mr Fillmore ts t , bt slaughtered' in the house of his friends as Mr. Clay was in Piiiladelpkia ' Standard, 17 th Charity, we are told, covereth a multitude of faults. How much of this rare an cle of charity, the "Standard" is certain to dispeme, jusi before, and im nediate'y succeeding, each Whig Nation al Convention ! In 1848. before that Convention met. Gen. Scott ws tue special object ol his sym pathies. The mosi mlancholY foreb.Kiings were indulged, lest the "gallant old Hero' might not hare justice done liin by the Whigs, and all this whi'e he appeared to be a particular favorite of the ' Standard." jtfl'r the Convention the Hero ot Mexico seemed to pass entirely out of his mindf and he woud not deign to.offer him one drop of consolation. But, Mr. Clay ! The whole heari ol the 4'Stindrd" seemed to "swell and yearn towards" ihis great man in his misfortunes I No language was too strong 10 express the iudigna tion he feft for the slight and injustice heaped upon him by the "Whig Slaughter-house." a the Convention was called ! But all this sympathy soon evaporated into thin air. Th period tor the "Standard's" lamentations has again rolled round, and the big drops, are beginning to course down his genemus cheeks for Mr Fillmore ! His imagination is disturbed and his: heart almost bleeds lest he any be the next victim of the "Slaughter-house!

No dcTOUl he will have lo assist in the interment of some of them. We would recommend therefore that he, at an early day, commit to memory ihe lines of Wolfe on the burial of Sir John Moore, ending : "Slowly and sadly we laid him down.
