Onarmax, President National Whig Con- vention Letter from Mitlard Fillmore, prepared for the Whig National Con to Wasnineton, Jane 10, 1852 PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL WHIG © VENTION —This communication will be presented to you, and, through you, to the delegated wisdom of the whig party over which you preside, by the Hon. George Rt. Babcock, who represents in your body the Congreseional district in which I reside. I trust that ] shail be pardoned by the convention for adverting briefly to the course which [ haye pur- sued, and the causes which have induced ‘t, asa means of explaining why I selected this time and mode of making this annunciation. All must recollect that when I was so TY, and unexpectedly called to the exalted statioa which J now occupy, by the death of my lamented and illus- trious predecessor, there was a crisis in our public affairs full of difficulty and danger. The country was agitated by politieal and sectional passions and diseentions, growing out of the slavery # nd territo- stions then pending, and for which Congress s yet been able to agree upon no measure of ee and adjustment ae » Union itself was threatened with dissolation, and patriots and etatesmen looked with apprehension to the futme. In that feeling I participated most prolowdly. The digigultige and dangers whigh eure TO THE Ne nt | and Tam inost happ: | | | | | my own ing ability to in them im a manner u to country. But I was the attempt, and to do it with any hope of suecoss, I felt it necoseary to discard every personal coaside- ration, and devote myself to the diflicult task before me with entire singleness of hoart. ‘To prepare and strengthen myself for this task I jay aside, as fur as practioable, every e fish consideration—to banish from iny mind every local or seetional prejudice—and to re- member only that 1 was an American citizon, and the magistrate of the American republic, bound to regard every ‘ion and section of it wita equal justice and re ria That I might do this the more effectually, I resolved within myself not to seok a re-election. Thus prepared, I eatered upon the discharge of my Official duties, with a determination to do every- thing in my power to aid in tho settlgment of those dangerous controversies. Fortunately for our favored country, a majority in both houses of Congress, rising above mere party and personal considera- tions, nobly and jotically devoted themselves to the great work of pacification, The constitutional advisers whom I had ealled to my aid, and to whose fidelity, talents and patriotism the country is chiefly indebted for any kenefit it may havo received from my administration, with a unanimity and zeal wor- thy of every commendation, cordially gave their countenance and influence to the legislative dopart- ment, in perfecting and adopting those healing measures of So EEOREER to which, upon their pas- sage, I felt bound by every consideration of padlie duty to give my official approval. Those laws being enacted, ny constitutional duty was equally plain— to “take care that they were fuithfully exeeuted.” But this I found the most painful of all my efficial duties. Noverthelces 1 resolved to perform it, re- gardless of all consequences to myself; and in doing #0, I determined to know no North and no South, and no friends but those who sustained the consti- tution and laws, and no enemies but those whe op- posed them. The gratifying result of this poliey is before you and the country. The angry strife which for a time rounded us were ¢almly but anxiously I eee | Renee ct be ii that rested a] me, und dis 4 make threatened to array Btate against State, and brother against brother, and deluge our happy land with fraternal blood, and desolate it with fire and sword, has fortunately passed away. The surging billows of sectional agitation are valmed, and’ the public mind is fast settling down into its accustomed chan- nels, aud will soon renew its wonted devotion to the } constitution and the Union. Avuiling myself of this happy change, I had de- termincd, when the present Congress met, to a nounee to the public, in my anntal message, m Preven resolution not to suffer my name to com efore the National Convention for 2 nominat L accordingly prepared_a paragraph to that effect, but was finally persuaded to strike it out, lost it might have an unfavorable iufluence upon the then pending election in Virginia. After that had passed, concluded to withdraw my name by a published address to the people, and prepared one accordingly; but this coming to the knowledge of some of my friends, they represented to me that my withdrawal, at that time, would not only endanger the pe: of those measures which deemed so essent peace and welfare of the country, but woul: many friends who had steod by my administration in the dark and perilous crisis throagh which it had so recently passed. The first was an appeal to my patriotism, aud the second to my.gratitude. [vould resist neither, and therefore yielded to their request, and consented that my name should remain where it was, until time should shew, as T presumed it would, that its further use cold neither benefit them nor the cause which we all had so much at heart. It wae, however, distinctly understood, that I could not consent to use any affuils to procure a nomina- tien, but if one were fieely and yoluutarily teader- ed, I should not be at liberty to deciine it. The embarrassing question now presents itself, who is to determine when the use of my name can no lenger benefit my friends or our cominon cause ? To assume to decide this myself, in advance of the convention, without consultation with those who have so generously sustained ime, might be deemed by them unjust. ‘To consult them is utterly imp) ticable, and to suffer my name to go into a contest for the nomination, is contrary to’ my original in- tention, and utterly repugnant to my feelings. I have, therefore, without consuliation with any one, felt justified'in assuming the responsibility of av thorizing and requesting Mr. Babcock, e} te bef orafter any vote may be taken in the convention, and whenever he shall be satisfied thay I have duty to ny friends and the country, pre letter, and withdraw my name from the consideration of the conventi 1 ust that my friends will appreciate the necessi- ty which compels me to act withoutconsulting them Twould cheerfully make any personal sucr 2 their sakes tor the good of my country have nothing to ask L yielded wi erre reluctance to their to remain before the public i I knew t vd me in a false po: il it i a possible candi 1 fore. saw that it. would subject me to_ the b ng tion of see age of th 2 of having Domination, and of government to obrain it, a our vheerfully ee » than that my iriends should feel i ner to themor tothe caw toavail myself of this o¢ ented to er ter ail this, that Twas indi grateful » pert, tu tho: the country who huve so generously aud so nobly stood by the constitution and the Union daring the verilous scenes through which we Lave just passed.

In the course of his long life has never shown any public sympathy with the ti-slavery cause He has, on the contrary, with- in a short period, openly boasted that it was by his influence, that the sentiment of the North was so far corrupted or vverawedou ‘the floor of Congress, as to submit to the passage of the Compromi measures, whieh rejeet the Wilmot Proviso, and embrace the Fugitive Slave law. So far as his opinions were publicly made known before his nomination, they were identival with those of Millard Fillmore and Daniel Webster. Since hs nourioa- railroad charters tion, he has aerepted the candidacy of the whig parly, with the explicit declayation thay be fully ag- teh imtho platform of its seer des the following reso! of acte of the TI fiewt commons: ent, the act for luded, are receive the United States at a settlement, in principle and substance, of the eub- jeets to which they relate; and, 60 far as these acts are concerned, we will maintain them, and insist on their strict enfereement, until tlme and experienee shall de- monstrate the necessity of further legislation to guard ageing. she eve the laws en the one hand, and the abuse of their ‘on the other; not impairing their present efficiency to carry out the requirements of the constitution; and we depreeate all farther agitation of the questions thus settled, as dangerous to our peace, and will discountenauee all efforts to continue to re- new such agitation, whenever, wherever, and however made, apd we will maintain settlement as essential to the nationality of the whig fiarty and the integrity of the Union. For this disgracefal resolution, it is worthy of no- tice, the entire whig delegation from Massuchusetis voted with every mark of cordial and unreserved ap- probation. Such being the thoroughly pro-slavery position of the whig and democratic purties, the opponents of slavery, in all parts of the Union, are lookin, with ANY Ane hope to the course of the free « party. In Massachusetts, at the present momont, that party has a areas relative strength than in any other State. It is thoroughly organized, and has held for two years a triumphant position. To Massachusetts, then, the eyes of every man who loves freedom and hates slavery are turned for counsel and for guidance. Tho number of such men in every free Stato is yet t and ppt not- withstanding the shameful detection of certain pro- mipent politicians and presses in some of the States. Yhe abswb ic about the Union, which was got up to serve their own selfish ends by the ambitious demagogues who have controlled Congress and the federal government since the death of General Tay- lor, haz died away, and though it has done a part of its expected work in foreing the whig and the de- Mocratic parties into a submissive attitude towards the siave power, it has, to the great joy of all trae men, left those who, in the aitece of John M. Clayton, ‘raised the ghost of Disunign to get the credit of Jaying it,” in a position of political * tinal- ity” from which they can never again emerge. With the returning confidence of the people in the stability of the Union, tho anti-slavery senti- ment is reviving, and there is every reason to believe that it will speedily manifest itself through- out the country with greater strength and detormi- nation than ever. In Massachusetts, the free soil party, which represents thut sentiment, stands erect and firm. It has put. the brand of popular condemnation on Dai Webster, the greatest of the traitors to freedom. It has resisted the arts and etforts of the corrupt federal government, of which he is the actual head. It has prostrated the once invincible whig party of Massachusetts, and has ground it, to use the words of a distinguished member of that party, ‘between the upper and the nether millstone.” As in 1849, it resisted the whirl- wind of military enthusiasm which swept over tho country, under the banner :of “ Taylor and Free Soil,” so in 1852 it will re the same element under its openly emblazoned standard of “ Scott and the Fugitive Slave law.” It will pursue, without wavering, or falling off the course it has successfully pursued for the last four years—the course of stern and impartial opposition alike to pro- slavery whigs and pro-slavery democrats. At Worcester, on the sixth of July, the free soil party of Massachusetts will meet in council. Its ablest, its most eloquent, its most reliable men will he there. With them will assemble also, there is reason to expect, some of the most distinguished champions of free soil and free speech from other States. We therefore call upon the free soilers of the Old Bay State to come up in their full strength to the convention. Let the free blood flow from ail its extremities to the sound and true heart of the com- monwealth. It will go back refreshed and invigo- rated, carrying new life and health to every portion of the body politic. Let every free soiler make it a point of duty to give that day to the cause. Let them come from their farms, their stores, and their work shops, to cheer and enlighten, by their pre- sence, the councils which will be held at Worcester, and to swell the voice of encouragement which will go forth from thence to the remotest sections of the Union, tostrengthen the hopes of freedom, and tostrike terror into the minions of the slave power- H.

It ig now reduced almost to s certainty that | *Y highly respectabie ladies, who were elegantly dressed: the institution known as the State Normal School must be, sooner or later, abandoned. The opposi- tion, only asa mole Mill, which sprang up against itsoon after its organization, has reached the di- mensions of @ mountain; and the meandering rivulet first turned against it, has now become increaged in its dimensions by the streams running into it from every portion of the State, until it has increased to a mighty torrent of public opinion. The experi- ment of a school intended for the manufacture of teachers in common schools was a most laudable and praiseworthy one. The whole people acknow- ledged the necessity of having a higher order of qualification for teachers in the primary schools, and The Legislature, some eight or ten years since, very liberally contributed a dona- tion in order to ascertain the practicability oy thus diffusing and spreading among the people la- borers in the noble cause of education, more en- lightened, more practical, and of a higher standard, than the teachers of common schools then were. The State furnished the professors and teachers, and the eity of Albany the building in which the Normal Sehoal was kept. For two or three years it seemed to prosper right well. The reports made by the trustees were so highly acceptable to the Legisla- ture that, some four yearssince, that easily over por- suaded body made an appropriation of a sam for the Bree of erecting a building near the Ca- pitol, and thereby makiag the Normal School a per- manent appendage to the other institutions of the State. From that moment the public, or a consi- derable portion of tho reflecting people, began to question the utility of tne school. It was ascer- tuined that the objects of the State, in very many instances, were, thwarted; that graduates, in- stead of entering the profession of school teach- , ers, resorted to other business. Many of the males entered lawyers’ and doctors’ offices, and be- came inducted into the mysteries of the one and the mystifications of the other. Of che females, not ‘one third of the number whose education is furnished by the State, engage as teachers in the country schools, after having graduated at the Normal insti- tution. Thus the object of the Legislature becomes frustrated, and the charities of the State, in a great measure, misapplied. No blame, however, should be attaehed to those youths who seek this method of obtaining an education. Many of them, doubt- less, are sincere in entering the school, believing that, when competent, they will pursue the pro- } fossion of school teachers. But they very soon dis cover that the miserable pittance which, in general, the trustees of country schools allow the teachers is scarce)y sufficient to keep them from starvation ; and they are therefore induced to seek other means of living. Such is the uniform practice inthe country; they make no discrimination between a dolt, a fool, an ignoramus, and a liberally educated, well qualified teacher. They pay more regard to the training of a ‘* blood” horse, or the nourishment of a ** Durham ” cow, or the fertilizing of a flock Me- rino” sheep, or the fattening of a ‘‘ Berkshire” pig. than the improvement of the intellectual faculties— the elevation of the morals—the inculeation of ex- alted principles of their own children. Muny of this | kind of economical country gentry will willingly give fifty dollars for a Chinese game cock and hen, a thousand dollars for a pure blood Spanish ram, a dozen times over, rather than pay # competent schoolmaster a monthly stipend sufficient to furnish him with a ‘Sunday suit.”” These are some of the reasons why scholars from the Normal school, after receiving an education, abandon the idea of “‘whip- ping the cat” from one country house to another, and resort to some profession affording more lucra- ive employment and better prospects in life than “teaching the young idea how to shoot.” The State has fairly tried the experiment, and_ it has utterly failed of accomplishing the laudable object intended, It has furnished competent teach- ers for the common schools; but the people, whose individual interest it is to carry out the system have most shamefully and outrageously mee isie to perform their part of the important duty. No State has done more, or is annually contributing more liberally, than New York, to diffuse intelligence among the rising generations, in the incipient stuges, in the middle order, and in the higher branches of education. Immense sums are yearly expended, arising from the income of tho United States de- posite fund and the literature fund, and an anoual tax of $800,000 is collected from real and porsoual property, all for educational purposes; and besides this, the State sends into cach school district teachers, male and femule, ready and willing to engage in the jaudable work of education. From such unprece- dented liberality, not a single child in the State ought to arrive at the age of fourteen, but would be thoroughly educated in all the ordinary branches of common ‘sebool education. The people them- selves are guilty of allowing so many thousands of their own offspring to grow up in ignorance of heathen, and ripencd into subjects for public sup- port in prisons and almshouses. A difficulty has arisen within a month or two be- tween the trustees of the Normal Sch and the pal professors. which caused several of them to resign The public are not fully advised of the cause, and, on the part of the trustees, will not be until they present their annual report to the Legi lature in January next. The gentlemen who re- signed, state that an attempt was made by the trus- tees to seduce their salaries, to which they would not submit. There are probably other reasons, which will in due time be given. It is more than probable that, in consequence of not haying accomplished the laudable objects in- tended, a strong etlort will be made in the next Le- gislature to disband the Normal School. Several of the most prominent members of the last House were strongly opposed to its further continuance, and we know that the introduction of a law for that purpose was ouly prevented by the earnest entreaties of cer- tain persons deeply interested in a private view. New Line of Steamers from New York to ig Quebec. We perceive by advertisement in our columns of this date, that a fresh impetushas been given to our daily increasing connection with the British Provinces, by the establishment of a line of steamers from our port, which are intended to sail bi-monthly, for Halifax and Quebee, calling at Pictou, Charlotte- town, Prince Edward’s Isiand, Shodiac and Mira- michi, New Brunswick, and from thence to Gaspe and Quebec. This is decidedly the most important line ever established for the developement of the vast resources of the British maratime Provinces, | and cannot fail to render essential service to the ex- tension of our commerce with these noble portions of Queen Victoria’s North American possessions. The route chosen, to tourists, is one of peculiar interest, and will become. we have not the least doubt, a very favorite ** track” for travellers and thoge secking the invigorating sea breezes of the northern shores of the continent. The scenery on the coast up to Canada is very fine, while an oppor- tunity offers of visiting the interesting town and harbor of Halifax, with its. superb bay and basin then skirting along the Nova Scotia shore, with its bold and wild poiatsofinterest. The Gut of Canso will be steamed through, with Cape Breton on the right, that interesting portion ived their first blow from the English and colonial forces, at the ever to be remembercd Louisburg. Pictou will then be visited, with its tine settlements skirting the bay. Then along Northumberland Scraits, with New Brunswick on the one side, while the fair and fertile island of Prince Edwards, with its verdure to the water's edge, lays smnilingly on the waters of the gulf. The visit to Charlottetown, the capital of the island,with the fine harbor of Hillsborough, exceeds in beauty anything along the coast. The island is becoming every day of more importance, i been very appropriately named the “ Isle of America, Its agricultural resources n and produce are very valuable, which will be greatly oxtended by hi The island extends along ud has a mean bremdch of 40 ; while extonsive settlements, gentlemen's seats and fine farms, greet the eye for its entire Jength. Miramichi, that great northern outport of New Brunswick, is well worthy of a visit; while entering the noble St. Lewrence from G to Quebec, the scenery cannot be ex for beauty and loveliness. In a comm point of view, this line will be of great value, and as an evidence of the interest taken in the inter- colonial route, the Legislatures of the various pro- vinces have voted large suis of money, in further- ance of ite operations. Now that the English Colo- nial Secretary in London has refused all aid to the great Halifax nod Quebee Railroad, the colonists will grect with pleasure this opportunity of commu- nication by steamers, so opportunely carried out by one of their enterprising aud talented landowners. We must not forget, however, to give ** Uncle Sam” his due meri praise, for it was Major Norton, our higbly efficient consul at Pictou, who first sug- gested the reute from Pictou to Quebec, and on transfering his interest, the schome was wisely ex- tended, so a8 to communicate every fortnight with New York—the centre of the commercial woaith and developement of the Western world. Tho first steamer put on the route, which will be shortly fol- lowed by another, is the Albatross, of whose sailing and steaming qualities we recently spoke of, in re- porting an excursion made in her. She is counted by our ship bulldere a clip r, and having all the mo- dern improvements, will efficiently perform the noble service dosigued for her. To the projectors, owners, and all interested in her, we predict a pros- perous carcer.

Bowray Twxatar.—This establishment was crowded The boxes presented a dazzling sight, having been filled ~ and many of whom were from the neighborhood of Broad- way, Several’ carriages were ranged in feomt of the theatre, and the rush to gain admission was somewhat Surprising. It will thus be perceived that the old Bowery, ‘by the able management of Hamblin. has become a fashionable resort, and that Lola, who has always been in Pursuit of popular advancement, even when favored by nobles and kings, has proved, by her appearance at the Bowery theatre, that she has triumphed over the preju- dices of @ would be uristocracy, in attracting many of them to the people's theatre, to hear their enthusiastic cheers throughout every scene, which breathed’ forth the freedom of the people, and the right togovern themselves. ‘The drama of “ Lola Montes in Bavaria” is put upom the Bowery stage in 4 manner that reflects credit on the management; the scenery is appropriate, the: acting: throughout, very good, and the orehestra) music excellent, Lola, as the danseuse, the politictan, the eountess. the revo- lutionist, and the fugitive, elicited enthusiastic cheers}; and Stevens, Goodall, Leftignwell, Mrs, Jordan, andother favorites, filled their respective characters admirably. We should not be surprised, from this forward, if the sida of the street on which the Bowery theatre stands became a faghionable resort for promenade, like the dollar side of dadway, as it is called. It would delight the don ton. geptlemen of Broadway and its vicinity, bad they seen the handsome and: tastefully dressed Bowery girls, with their . smiling features, in perfect admiration of the Bava- Han Countess last evening. We understand thet two- new dramas are in preparation, whieh have been writter expressly for Lola Montes, one of which, called “Lola. Montes in New York,” will be produced next week. This piece, we are informed, will introduce Kossuth and all he leading editors of the city. Hamblin and Lola Montes are determined to revolutios the theatrical world.
