Ha was gratified at Ui extraordinary degree of enani aiity show a during the discussions in the Senate, with regard to toe construction of that treat.

Such a con struction wa an after thought, and an attempt to evade the treaty. ' lie complimented the Administration for tba manner in which it baa conducted our foreign affaire, and took occasion to condemn Walter and bit fillibuntering practice in Central Ameri ca.

Mr. FUlawm'a garale Latter of 183 W bad aappoaed that tbia letter, written mm eighteen yean ago, bad been worn to rage daring the canvass of 1S48, and that waabould bear ae more afitt-bui. it seems we were mistaken, as ear neighbora down the etreet preeented it to their reader onyesterday morning, by way, w suppose, of a novelty. Tliia rehash of a stale letter will, if possible, more signally fail to ae eimplish any purpoa injurioca to Mr. Fillmore than didluToblicafion when H lu a much ttmiMt icle. ,h, eanv.ssof 1S48 the Dem- ocrKti) ,ji,0 mai ,peker., afraid barahly to assail Gen. Taylor, brought all the gun of their batteries in toe South to bear agai-iaf Mr. Fill- more, the candidate for th Vice Presidency, who wa charged with being a rank and venomou Abolitionist, who, in the event of Gen. Taylor' election and death before the expiration of hi term, would not fail to land all th influence of the Preidential olfiee to aboUah lavery. Tlii waa th tune upon which they harped for mouth", end ourold fiend, "old Frank," (in wboeelat misfortune we deeply yrapathite, and rejoice to learn that te s o w g t ing on very well,) actu ally carried about a trunk full of bound volumes to make good the charge of abolition against Mr. Fillmore. Whatever, however, may have been tli effect in Virginia, th result of the campaign proved that a Urge majority of tbe people of ilia l'nite States did not antertaio any distrust of Mr. Fillmore on the slavery question. The Whig ticket waa elected. In the providenc of God Gen, Taylor was called from bis earthly labor before bis term waa half expired, and Mr. Fill more succeeded him as President of the I'irited State at a lime as critical aa any which has eve. characterised thei story of our country. The Compromise question aginrted th whole country from North to South. Th Abolition apt-it on the one side, and the nullification and disunion furor on the otlinr, threatened the most disiutrou consequences to the couutry and the t'nion. At this great crisis Mr. Fillmore was sudden'y end unexpectedly called upon to tnke the helm of government verywbere throughout the Union the question was. What will he do? on w hut tick will bs put the ship of State ? -and what colors will be fly at tb mast-bead f the IlUck fl4.f Abolition, or the glorious stars and stripes of the In ion T The country had not long to wait. Millard Fillmore, in spite of the prejudices nt- urally acquired bv education frcin infaacV in th niid.H of a uun-slnvcholding, colnwourty, soon showed to the world that he had no other guide than the conscientious convictions of his oonsti- tutional duties. lis signed the Compromise measures, Fugitive Slave Law, and all, and this gave peace to the country, and at the same time that be gave the moat unanswerable contradiction 'o the ealuminous charges made against him at the Houth during th campaign. So admirable indeed was Mr. Fillmore's whole career in office that be extorted th commendation and admira tion of tb Democratic party, who loudly and indignantly censured th Whig party for not nominating Mr. Fillmore for re-election in lH.'rJ. With these facts fresh in the public memory, we reapectfully submit to ths Democrat that its republication of th old Buffalo letter at this time is "stale, flat and unprofitable." Besides tbia, th liouiocrnt itself would hardly agree to be tried by the the test to which it wishes to subject Mr. Fillmore, as it would not be difficult to abow that Soros distinguished members of its own party hav at some period or other of their lives expressed opinions which they would not abide by now. Let the laainocrst take ths great Apostle of Liberty himself and tell us it the opin ions on the subject of slavery expressed by hiu many years ago, would be tolerated or counte nanced by any party at tba South at the present day. In eonclusioa, and fur tb purpose of showing what th Democratic party thought of Mr. Kill, more ia HV2, in spits of his old Buffalo leter, ws subjoin tbe following flattering testimony to Mr. Fillmore's fidelity lu office, bestowed, accor ding to tbe Richmond Knquiicr, by no less a personage thaa ths present Governor Wise: "And whv. asked Mr. W have vou (Whin' deserted tbe man who stood by tb Constitutional Ininn party t In answerlothia question, be read tbe letter of Mr. Fillmore lo Mr. Balaurk nf New link, written during the sitting of ths II" I tiinor n lug Convent., requeshng Mr. B.. whe was a delegate, t withdraw bia name.

It baa atrengthed th Amor ieaa party a hundred fold, and given it a confi dence ia its positioa which it eould riot, under other eircumstaneea, have apeedUy attained. Mr. Fillmore is known, and baa th confidence aot simply of tli people of this State, but of the conservative, l uion-loving portion of tbe entire country. When sectional agitation rsred tbe fiere t he safely guided the ship of State into tbe harbor of aafetv. When even great and good men j . Mr. Fillmore Isjindeed the "true and practical began to despair of the republic, bis firmness, I and living platform." We want no word to be sogacity, prudence and nationality, arched the guile or bewilder. Ther is in th mind of every storm-clouds with the bow of peace, and filled Hie goud citiaea a le-bemhraoee of tbe ' Model Preai hearts of the nation with hope. In tbe adrainie-1 dent," and no unevrhe truly loree the peace of tration of tbe office of President he knew no North, the conutry end tbe stability of the Union will no South, no Kaat, no West, but cone, crated all his energies to the whole country, and" from eve. ty section acquired the glorious epithet of " the fnodel President." Millard Fillmore's antecedennr ar better than any possible plat form of principles : bis character .above all neceaaity of public pledgee or definition thenewapnpers. I deem the nomination thestrong of position. Like gold thrice refined, he has j t n'l o" 'hat cootd have been made, and eve- paaaed unscathed throu-h the severest trials, and .. ..... ., . , ,., , , shines the brighter fur th te-u to which be has been subjected. . No man ever left public office, except our sainted Washington, with such uni- versal mmer.dation from men of all pnrti.e.r- i For a time partlsen rancor lost its bitterness irresistibly forced to aa -eppriral of his truly statesmanlike qualities; and1, personal ambition, ho longer fearing his rivalry, vied with patriotic feeling in awarding him a nation's gratitude. . Hi personal character no lew than his political integrity commend him as the leader of anew and" vigorous party. He has never been so sb- s irbed in political duties and so bound by party doapotiam as to forget th great principles of hon or, law and morality. In bis person pride never clothed itaelf in rohes of honor, itor wickedness installed itself in the high places of the State. To secure an election he has never pandered to an unstable populace, nor become the prophet o any prevailing fanaticism. Secure in the consci Oisnees of his own integrity, he has permitted his enemies to exhaust their malevolonce without explanation or defense, and time has vindicated bis character. The name of Millard Fillmore ii hence asso ciated with all that is manly and noble in private character pure and upright in private dealing firm and consistent as a representative of the people and lofty and statesmanlike, tbe head of a groat and free people. It awakens enthusi asm whenever it is beard, and secures confidence in whatever he leads. The choice of Vice President on the same ticket is a fit counterpart to tlie leading candidate. Associated with Andrew Jackson in all his pub lic career, reproaentiug the republic in many and r isposible positions, Andrew Jackson Donelsoa has acquired a character for independence, hon esty, end abilit) that is truly enviable. Th is much it is becoming that we should say as individuals, and we believe that iu these remarks ws utter the sentiments of the majority of the people of Louisiana. j. O. t'lvoe. P. T.

GioaotTowa, Kr, Feb. 25, 1856. . J. FosTia, Esq Dtar Sir. I am in receipt of : your note reiorring to tne proceeding! of the i American Convention at Philadelphia; and a few ! hours before had I aeen the namna nnnmiM.I in " m"u".r American order will give it a hearty, active, and enthusiastic aunport. My opinion had been, that it would be best to postpone the nomination until the 4th day of July, out wbeD I1 Convention lied aasembled, there " ."' ""' -or no unmeaiate nomination, and Ut have rttmnoA it wm,l,l k... been a great mistake. so thought, and express ed myself before the nomination was made. Ths Convention promptly and wisely met the necessity of the case, by nominating for thettrst pine a man who had filled it, and whose administration will " stand the test of time, of talents, and of human Scrutiny." In wisdom, moderation, firmness, pa triotism and success, no administration of the gov ernment excels Millard Fillmore's save that of Wsshington al ne. ltmee in majesty andstrengtb asa.rockfrom the deep foundation of, and high aliove the stormy sea of politics, and the mad waves of faction broke harmlessly at its base. Its spirit and scope were iu accordance to the Con stitution snd laws, to preserve the lnion, and to dovelope the growth, power and glory of the whole country. It won the approval of the good and patriotic men of all parties at home, and the re spect of every foreign power; and at this time of perils, throatning from within and without, our country could have no better promise for peace, prosiierity and safety than its reproduction. 1 would have preferred that tbe" vlnttiirm of June mat hod leinatned untouched. The one adopted in its stead embodies all its Drincinlea. and gives a more distinct and better expression of several imporrAm ones. But our true and living piauurra is iiiiuaru riuinore ana nis pant admin istration of the Government; and' this is infinitely more raiuanie, ana more to be trnsteil, than anv t. -L . - piuuorin which any convention can irnme. Disunion was formerly threatened only from the fe-th. n-rer tt audocnusly rears iu horrid 1 front from the North, ana it is daringly proclaim- ed that the restriction of slavery is paramount to tlie preservation of the South. All who declare that th extensiou, or the restriction of slsverv is paramount to the preservation ofcthe Union, have the hearts and ought to die the death of traitors. We hear, too, the low muttsrings of ths storm across the deep. Our ancient eueniiea snd our ancient friend, are in strange alliance ; and they both turn upon us lowering countenances. The cloud that is gathering within our own bosoms, and that ia seen rising shove the horison in Kng- uina aim r ranee, may unite on our own borders to break to pieces our glorious Union. The pilot to steer the pliant ship to weather such a storm, is niiiiara minors. The American party having emblaxoned on its standard, "Ths Lntoii it must and shall be pre served" "Millard Fillmore and Andrew Jackion iKinebsin," is invincible, and its triuu.ph is cer tain. Advance that standard high in your col umns, and let your'shout be, Onward, Americans! Ouward to your country's deliverance 1 Failhl, your friend, (JAKKKT DAVIS.-. Hard Freeaed.

A farther proof of the utter dearth of grounds uf legitimate oppo sition to Mr. Fillmore, msy be' found in th an nexed paragraph which w find adopted aa aa litorial in th last Suuth bid Democrat: "Ksnsss Arraiaa.

The Hon. C L. Woodbury, Dmoorat,duringtheampaiga mad a speech, from which tbe following is an extract It is copied from the Daily Evening Gssette nnh. lished at Portsmouth, and a warm friend of Wells, the Looofoco candidate for Governor. "II was peculiarly felicitous in exnoain 11 Inconsistencies of tb Abolitionists, who had ia former times vehemently opposed th Missouri compromise as a geographical liasit of llarert. and who now with yet greater violence deiwup.es -its repeal, though that repeal open Southern as well a Korthem territory tor ths ingrett of fTm institution.

V must IBStN. itably win, Kanaas would be free territory, be cause slave labor there would be eomparativdy and indeed positively unprofitable. California he reminded us, kad been equally open to free and slave labor, and yet had excluded slavery by a decided and almost unanimous expresses of the popular Will. The tton-slaveholding. States, he told us, had millions more inhabitants than the Southern States, and enterprise,nrgy, and success ia proportion. , Upon this topi tbe distinguished orator dwelt with much force of il lustration and copious argument. In thia soe-, , nexion re-may remind our render that the ' extreme?i-niMera meM opposed th Kansa find Aelinuka bill because the; foresaw thai tics mess. a6fc operation would insure th admission of Hot Territories a iVee States. The Hon. J-tas Cut IKS, on of the most ardent friends of the 'pecu liar institution,' took strong and impregnable ground for tbia very reason against th bill, de nounced it as being the eat nnder th meal, and warned bi allies againat it adoption; aa empty eonceision was made to the South, bat all tne real advantage! would accrue to the Bon-alav. bidding States. His prediction is becoming his tory. Kansa when admitted will be admitted a a fi e State, not from th preponderance uf Sharp's rifles, but from tlie superiority of free over slave labor, from th eu-ieriur industry, and economy of the Northern over the Soutbera character." Again, Th Lancaster Coos Democrat in aa artioleoo Slavery Extension, after stating that iveuruesn ana nnosas wouiu txim ti Iras states, remarks, 'Let the people alone, and they will ia every ease prevent the extension of slavery, of mvir ovH-irei will alio ajvenrn a n tiiat la aiaa. essary is to maintain their right to decide this quesiion, the JJemocratie doctrine of popular mt crciffHty, and you will hat no more slant Stales t mdone. The very system upon which our Ter ritories ami new States are so rapidly populated, the sourcefrom which that population is derived, tbs uniform experience of years snd the settle ment of immense territories recently acquired,!! show conclusively that from our present territory are lo be carved out ao new stavs States.

Butaa ia-' dividuals we cannot but feel a pleasure that slave ry hat reached it utmost limits in this country j and as patriots rejoice that no Congressional in terference or other unonastitutional measures hav been restored to, to bring about thia result, but that the matter, left with tbe people, i by them settled in mannsr satisfactory to tb peo ple of th Northern States, aad ia a manner to which the Soutbera State eaa tak bo sicss tion." And, th Hon.
