From the Richmond Enquirer. Fillmore and Slavery-Testimony of his Friends. Xo man capable of an impartial judgment in the matter will dispute the conclusion which we have drawn from a survey of Fillmore’s public conduct, L : th f , he has been > from ,he beginning to | the close of his career, a consistent and zealous adversary |of slavery. However much we mayop pose him, and may distrust the deficiencies" of his character, we must at least give him credit for fidelity to his early pledges to the Abolitionists and for considerable energy of purpose in his war upon the interests of the South. Deep and perma nent must be .he conviction which can sustain a politician in such undeviating and unflagging pur • suit of a particular line of public policy * Though Fdlmore has been thus ardent and en cigetic in Ins hostility to the interests of slavery ii is not impossible t&at he may forego the preiu d.ces which he drank in with h.s mother’s milk and bind himself hereafter to a harmless neutralh tv towards the South, by accepting the nomination pLi !i iT W N , olbln K party on the basis of the ! ‘ "tladelphia platform. Does that platform impose an v such obligation upon him ? We admit that he must accept nomination and platform together and that the candidate is fairly entitled to whatso ever credit he may derive from the principles of his party. Xow. it is the universal concession of the Know .Nothings themselves, that their platform is alto gether unsatisfactory to the South. Its onlv dis tinct avowal of principle touching slavery, is an indignant condemnation of the repeal of the Mis souri restriction. So that the platform, so* far trom modifying the Abolition prejudices of the , candidate, is fashioned rather in accordance with them. The Know Nothing press indulge in a vague protest against our conclusion, instead of denying specific statements of Fillmore’s particular acts til' hostility to slavery. They dare not come to closer quarters. The Whig is 'content to reproach us nith Hu excess of party bigotry j but this is no an swer to our argument.* Yet, though our accusa - lions be the result of bigotry, no such imputation can discredit the authority of Senator Dixon, of Kentucky, an old line Whig, a disciple of Clay’s, and an intimate friend of Millard •Fillmore. This is what he said on the l“th of April, in a Whig Convention at Lexington, Kentucky: “ He believed Mr. Fillmore an honorable man, i j had endorsed his administration, and recommend- j cd it ns true and sound. But, if Mr. Fillmore ae- ! cepted the nomination of the Know Nothing Or der, he was bound, as an honorable matt, to stand i ! on their platform, and become the exponent of their sentiments. In that event, he could not and i would not support him. But there was a more serious objection to Mr. Fillmore. He now stood uncommitted—iu the platform of which he was ! proposed to he the exponent—upon the all-impor tant and prominent slavery question. True, a re ference was continually made to his administra tion, and that held up as sufficient committal on all the issues arising out of that question. But when he turned to that administration, he there found the great statesmen, Clay and Webster, up on either side of him, urging and influencing him in the approval of the fugitive slave law. "That single act was all iie ever did, iu all his adminis tration, to recommend him to the confidence of the •south, and that act, prompted as it may have been by patriotism, he believed inconsistent with his whole antecedent record, contrary to his own per sonal opinions, and in violence to his feelings. He I was made to take the step by the influence of the great statesmen upon whom he loaned for advice ! and support.” Additional by the Arabia.

A politician might say that he was “elabo- j rating a constitutional solution.” He is dissolving I his constitution at any rata. I woke early one morning, unrefreshed, in a berth on a canal “packet,” somewhere between , Philadelphia and Pittsburg. No wonder that my 1 sleep was not very sweet. The atmosphere of the ; little cabin was fairly thick with nutrified animal matter and stale tobacco poison. I’ll go on deck, 1 said to myself, in spite of fogs, raw autumnal air, and colds ; so out 1 jumped upon the cabin floor. Splat! went both feet into a great pool of the j “constitutional solvent.” The whole floor was afloat with tobacco spit. That was a very revelation of nastiness. And, Mr. Curly Hair chirt! again, another instalment of our strength squirted out through your front teeth into the gutter. Mr. Curly Hair, let me tell you that you are not a hit better than that unut terably filthy cabin floor. Into what a foul, reek ing, noisome cavern you are transforming the mouth that God gave you as a passage for cleanly food and sweet breath ! A spit manufactory ; a j mere to'oacco-spit factory. Why, man, you might , as well establish a guano depot in your house. Chirt! There it goes! What a pity that you . couldn’t he made to carry a mug, and keep the ; liquor that you brew long enough to see what your ■ day’s work is. You spit, say once in fifteen min- , utes; call it fifty times a day. About a dessert , spoonful each time. Twenty tablespoonfuls. A ; tumbler full. That is a very moderate computa tion. Three hundred and sixty-five half pints in a i year—more than twenty gallons of that nauseous ’ brown soup—and just* so much withdrawn from I healthy muscle, close brain-fibre, elastic bones and j clear complexion. ”Everybody does it?” What if they do? I know it. 1 remember looking down from my fifth story ottiee upon Broadway, in the emptiness and quiet of a Sabbath afternoon, but iminedirtely after its whole enormous length trom Grace Church tx Trinity, and especially near the Park, in tny vicini ty, had been densely crowded with the multitude , that waited upon the funeral of Bill Poole. The j sireet was ail speckled as far as 1 could see. with dark spots, as if autumn leaves had been thickly i strewn on it. V moment’s thought showed me ; ; that it was tobacco spit. An American crowd j blackened the whole roadway and sidewalk of a ; t mile of street, with tobacco spit, in two hours! j Chirt! My dear fellow, neither vomiting nor j spitting arc inviting operations. Circumstances - may render the performance of either of them be : fore witnesses necessary, or even highly meritori- j ous. But I must say, that ordinarily speaking, the very faintest perception of common decency would teach you to avoid such demonstrations j when there is anybody in sight. Spit away my boy! Smell bad; look dirty ;he j , dirty; weaken your health; undermine your I | strength ; dim vour eyes ; unsteady your hand; j stupefy vour intellect; shorten your life. Do all these things, if you choose; but never say that I you had no advice from me to the contrary. Those j are the trifling consequences of your making a .

Savannah Republican, April 25. From the X. V. Times. Salesmen in New York. SALESMEN, AS FOUND IN THE DIRECTORY Every one tolerably familiar with Oitv Directory 1 must have observed a singular disproportion there- ! in between the number of firms and the number of salesmen. Some, doubtless, have thence inferred ! that the labors of a “clerk” are perfectly Hercu- 1 lean. But lest this class of young gentlemen should be mistaken for martyrs to their profession, ! be it known that .Mr. Shanghai has an eccentric j fashion of appending “dry goods” to his name in ! the Directory, instead of “salesman ;” and he is j therefore often unjustly suspected of being a prin- j cipal. THEY ADVERTISE FOR SITUATIONS. It a salesman desires to change his situation, lie I usually procures sufficient recommendations from I the house he leaves. But if a green hand and hav- i ing no acquaintances, comes to town in search of a place, lie tries what virtue there is in advertis- i ing, thus: Wanted, a situation by a young man from the ! country, of moral training and strict integrity ; ! writes a good hand, and is willing to make himself generally useful. Salary not so much an object as - a permanent situation. Address, Mr. Given," Lovi - joy’s Hotel.” Mr. Green waits patiently for an answer until what money he lias about him is gone; and leav ing, expresses his belief that the supply of clerks in the market is slightly in excess of the demand, i Sometimes a nervous and unphilosophic youth, j after vainly spending two or three months in ar duous endeavors after u situation, sits down in a desperate mood and pins the following notice ; “To merchants lam now reduced to the last solitary dollar, after applying to most of you per sonally for a place. This is my last call • if a fa- ; vorable reply is not received, the bed cot-il or strychnine will make another customer for the cor oner. lam told the deepest water is at the foot of Barclay street. Address, Dernier Resort, box No. 1.” * Occasionally, when a salesman has been dis missed. and is >uit. us references, he “runs his face” something in this wav : “ Out of business. A salesman, at present out of employment, wishes to form a connection with a house of average respectability, where his ser vices will he appreciated; he has no references t and relies entirely on his physiognomy.” WHAT I‘AY THEY OUT. The salary of a clerk is about as difficult to he ascertained from his personal appearance as tin age of I’aul Fry—which was somewhere between eighteen and eighty. But it may he set down as a general rule, that the fast young man who lives at the rate of fifteen hundred per annum, is paid from j five hundred to a thousand. Ilow lie does this is - a problem easy of solution, doubtless to his land lady, tailor and laundress. When Mr. Wilkins Mieawber said that the man was ruined who spent j a shilling more than his income, lie showed very clearly that he was not up in the Dry Goods line, aud had no acquaintance with the salesmen. THEY OUT fl* CARDS. When a salesman changes his situation, he ex pects to take most of his customers with him. As I a preparatory measure, therefore, lie orders a large I number of cards printed for general circulation : j PERFECT BRICK, with Rusher, Cracker <t Co. Importers and Jobbers of Silks and Fancy Goods, Ac., Ac., Ac., New York. THEY III! A LITTLE “DRUMMING.” During the business season, numerous individ uals may be seen at the down town hotels, about mealtimes, moving around somewhat suspicious ly, and invariably looking over the register A I stranger might suppose they were wailing an op portunity to slip into the dining room without he- j ing observed. They nod familiarly to the hook keeper in the office, and frequently engage in earn est, conversation with guests of the house—gener- J ally emliiiti with a visit to the bar. These mvste- ; rious gentlemen are known as “drummers,” and j visit the hotels to look after their customers. Drummers are not composed exclusively of petty clerks, hut among tlieir number are salesmen of j all grades, and members of firms. Occasionally j when a poor fellow is in anxious expectation of the advent of a country merchant, he ransacks the ho tels, morning, noon and night; and after traveling up and down for two or three weeks perhaps, at j last finds the object of his search in the hands of a more lucky rival. It is said that buyers have as intense a dread of these lynx-eyed gentry, as strangers iu general of the New York hackmen. THEY MAY NOT I’AY THEIR 811.1. L. A young man who receives only a few hundred a vear for selling Dry Goods, really can’t he expect ed to give oyster suppers, buy segars by the box, dress in superfine broadcloth—and pay all his j hills. Accordingly, it happens quite often that salesmen are affectionately inquired after at their j places of business by tailors, hoot-makers, washer women and others. Indeed, the calls of these im portunate people sometimes become so annoying, that clerks are compelled to heat a retreat and get ; another situation. THEY TAKE CUSTOMERS OUT TO SEE THE “ELE- j PHANT.” Country merchants, as they generally have a ' : high appreciation of the sights in Gotham, are \ ‘ fond of indulging in nocturnal recreations. The drummer, who thinks it politic to play the cicerone \ to his customer, invites him to the theatre; or, if he happens to he of a literary turn of mind, to a j lecture. .Sometime* they go on a “bust,” which - means to drink at all the fashionable saloons on : Broadway between Yesey and Houston streets. But whatever they do, the drummer usually “pays I the shot,” and, in return, expects to “stick'’ his j i friend for a large hill of goods the next dav. LASTLY, THEY TRAVEL ON BUSINESS. j During or about the months of January and July, salesmen frequently make a tour somewhere through the country, to drum up customers, and j be lionized a little. They arrive at a remote coun i try town, redolent of “Lubin,” and shiny with an elegant “harness” from Fox’s or Munroe’s—per haps not paid for—merchant is very much delight- I ed, and introduces his friend of ihe city to all the i select society of the place. Shanghai does the agreeable to the young ladies, and talks generally of the Russ pavement. Mayor Wood and Stephen H. Branch. He quite gains the confidence of the daughter, hut the fact of his coming from New Y ork is sufficient with mothers to excite suspicion of his morals. After spending a few days pleas antly, he at last hurries away, having previously i borrowed twenty or twenty-five from his mercan ! tile friend, payable on sight in New York. Won't Tell their Ages.—The ladies won’t i tell their ages, and lawyers need not attempt to | get it out of them. In the Griswold divorce ease, in Philadelphia, the depositions of Mrs. Anne S. Stephens and Mrs. Elizabeth F. Ellet were read i last week ; one says she is “over twenty-one” the other says “I don’t know mv age, of my own knowledge”—which is equivalent to saying she j oan't remember when she was born. Take a Paper for Yoir Wife.—A friend sav« I an exchange, told us a story in relation to one of I our subscribers, which contains a good moral for husbands, and also furnishes an example for wires which is not unworthy of imitation under similar I circumstances: The subscriber referred to, said it had been his intention to call at the office, pay up his arrearc ' and discontinue the paper. ‘ ' ’ His wife very promptly asked : “Why do you intend to discontinue the paper 9” “Ilecause,” said the husband, “I am so much i j away from home on business, and hare so little ' time to read, there seems to be little use in mv i taking the paper.” { “1 es,” replied she, “it may be but little use to you, but it is great use to me. I remain at home while you are gone. If you discontinue the pupei. I I I will go straight to town and subscribe mvself.* The Weather, Crops, Ac.—-Since morning last we have had a tight spell of cool weather accompanied by slight frosts, but little ! damage has been done, except near water courses where the frosts were heavier. The crops are very backward, but as we have been favored with refreshing showers of ruiu ! within the last ten days if the cool weather ceases as the prospect is good, a few days, will bring about a great change for the better.

In point of simplicity and perfection. J have never seen or used its equal. In it is combined every thing that 1 could wish in a Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest and the best that has ever been ottered to tile pub lic. 1 speak from having used it with my own hands. 1 was raised to follow the plow, and think that 1 know how one ought to run. 1 would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to point out to me one single fault in it. it is easier upon the horse and the plowman than any that 1 have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate the depth ot the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to commend itself to any one; anil the Stock is adapt ed to any kind ot Piow Hue. It is, moreover, just as light as any could desire it to be. 1 would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr ■lames 1!. Moll's. I). \V.
