Buffalo District, ft. Y.
My Dear Sir ‘ To yon as a persi nal
and political friend, representing my old
Congressional District, which has never
deserted or betrayed me, 1 des'-re now to
make a last request, and that is, that you
present to the presiding officer of the
Convention lor nominating candidates
b>r President and Vice President, when
ever you ntay deem it proper, the enclos
ed letter, withdrawing my name from the
consideration of (hat Convention.
In determining what is a proper time
to comply with this request, you will con
sidder only the cause in which my friends
ntay have to the use of my name for its
advancement. While I am willing to
submit to any sacrifice lor them, or lor
the cause, I w ish it distinctly understood
that I ask nothing for myself, and 3011
will therefore decide this question w holly
regardless of any real or supposed wish
of mine.
1 hat my friends, to whose solicitations
1 have 3'telded in this matter, ntay not be
prejudiced by my withdrawal, 1 have not
thought it proper to disclose this intend
ed act to any person Ittil yourself, lest it
might he said that in so doing I had not
acted in good faith to those who have
thought my name essential to the success
ol the Whig cause. You will therefore
perceive that the responsibility is with
you alone, to keep the whole a profound
secret until the proper time shall arrive
to present my letter to the Convention ;
and of this, with lull confidence in your
prudence and wisdom, I constitute von
the sole judge.
On the one hand, you will he careful
to guard against any premature act or
disclosure, which might eniharass niv
friends and give the just cause of com
plaint, while on the other you will not
sutler my name to be dragged into a
contest lor a nomination which 1 have
never sought, do not seek now, and would
not take, if tendered, but in discharge of
an implied obligation, which every maul
assumes upon uniting with a political
party, which is, to yield to the will of a
majority of those with whom he acts.
I have the honor to be,
V our friend and ob’t servant,
MILLARD FILLMORE.
• Washington, June 10, 1552.
To the President of the National Con
vention :
Silt-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 13. Babcock, who represent* in
your body the Congressional distiicl in
which 1 reside.
I trust that I shall be pardoned by the
Convention for adverting briefly to the
course which 1 have pursued and the
causes which have induced it, as a means
ol explainidg why 1 have selected this
time and mode of making this communi
cation.
All must recollect that when l was so
suddenly and unexpectedly called to the
exalted station which I now occupy, by
the death of my lamented and illustrious
predecessor, there was a crisis in our pub
affairs lull of difficulty and danger. The
country was agitated bv political and
sectional passions and distensions, grow*
ingout of the slavery and teriitorial
questions then pending, and for which
Congress had as yet been able to agree
upon no measure of compromise and ad
justment.
The Union itself was threatened with
dissolution ar.d patriots and statesmen
looked with apprehension to the future.
In that feeling 7 participated most pro
foundly. The diflictilties and dangers
which surrounded iis were calmly but
anxiously surveyed. I was oppressed bv
a sense of the great responsibilities that
rested upon me, and sincerely distrusted
my ability to sustain them in a manner
satiefaciorv and useful to the country.—
But 1 was bound to make the attempt,!
and to do it with any hope of success 7
felt it necessary to discard every’ person
al consideration, and devote myself to ihc
difficult task before me with entire sin
gleness of heart.
To prepare and s’rengtben myself for
tills task 1 endeavored to lay aside, as
far as practicable, every merely selfish
consideration —to banish from my mind
every local or sectional prejudice,—and
to remember only that I was an American
citizen, and the magistrate ol the Ameri-
Repnblic, bound to regard every portion
and section of it with equal justice and
impartially. That 7 might do this the
more effectually, / resolved within my
self not to seek a re-election.
Thus prepared, I entered upon the dis
charge of mv official duties, with a tie
tertuiiintioii to do every thing in my pow
er to aid in the settlement of those dan
gerong controversies. Fouunately for
our favored country, a majority in both
Houses of Congress rising above mere
party and personal considerations, nobly
patriotically devoted themselves to the
great work of pacification. The ronsttc
lutinii’al advisers whom 7 had called to
my aid, nod to whose fidelity, talents,
and patriotism the country is chiefly in
debted for any benefit it may have receiv
ed from my administration, with a unan
imity and zeal worthy of every com
mendation, cordially gave their counten
ance and influence to the legislative de
partment in perfecting and adopting (hose
healing measures of Compiomise, to
which upon their passage 7 felt hound,
by every consideration ol public duty, to
give my official approval. These laws
being enacted, my constitutional duly
was equally plain, ‘ to take care that
they were faithfully executed.’ But this
l found the most painful of all mV offi..
tin! duties. Nevertheless, I resolved lo
perform it, regardless of all consequences
to myself. And ir. doing so, 7 determin
ed to know no North and no South—and
no friends blit those who sustain'd the
constitution nnd laws, —anil no enemies
but those who opposed them.
The gratifying result of this policy is
before you nnd the country. The angry
strife which for a time threatened to array
Slate against Slate, 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 agita
tion are calmed, and the public mind is
fast settling down into its acnistonud
channels, and w ill soon renew its wound
devotion to the Constitution and the
Union. •
Availing myself of this happy change
I had determined when the present Con
gress met, to announce to the public, in
mv annual message, my previous resolu
tion not to suffer my name to come be
fore the National Conventional for a
nomination. 1 accordingly prepared a
paragraph to that effect, but was finally
persuaded lo strike it out, lest it might
have an unfavorable inflaence upon the
then pending election in Virginia.
After that had passed, 1 concluded to
withdraw my name by a published address
to the people* nnd prepared one accord
ingly ; but this coming to the knowl
edge of some of my friends, they repre
sented to me that my withdrawal, at that
time, would not only endanger the per
petuity ol those measures which I
deemed so essential to the peace and w el
fare of the country, but would sacrafiee
many friends who had stood by my ad
ministration in the dark and perilous
crisis through which it had so recently
passed. The first was on appeal to m3
patriotism, and the second to mv grat
litudp. 1 could resist neither, and there
fore yielded to their request, and consent
ed that my name should remain where it
w as, until lime should show, as I pre
sumed it would, that its further use could
neither benefit them nor the cause which
we all had so much at heart. 7t was,
however, distinctly understood that I
could not consent to use any efforts to
procure a nomination, but if one were
freely and voluntarily tendered, I should
not he at liberty lo decline it.
The embarrassing question now presents
itself, who is to determine when the use
ofmv name can no longer benefit my
friends or our common cause : To as
sume to decide this myself, in advance of
tlie Convention, without cosnltaiion with
those who have so generously’ sustained
nip, might be deemed by them unjust.
To consult them is utterly impracticable,
and to suffer my name lo go into a con~
test for the nomination is contrary to mv
original intention, and utterly repug
nant to mv feelings. I have, therefore,
without consultation with any one, felt
justified in assuming li e responsibility of
authorizing and reque sling Mr. Babcock,
eiilier beforeor after any vote may be
taken in the Convention, and whenever
lie shall he satisfied that I have discharged
my duly to my friends and the country,
to present this letter, and withdraw my
name from the consideration of
vention.
I trust that my friends will appreciate
the necessity which compels me to act
without consulting them. I would clter
fttlly make any personal sacrifice for their
sake* or for tltegood of my country, but
I have nothing to ask for myself. I
yielded with sincere reluctance to limit
entreaties to suffer my name to remain
before lie public as a possible candidate.
I knew that il placed me in a false po
sition. 1 foresaw that it would subject
me to the hase imputation of seeking a
nomination, and of using tlie patronage of
(lie government to obtain il, and then to
the mortifying taunts from the same mal
ignant source of having been defeated.
But, conscious of my ow n integrity, 7
cheerfully consented to encounter all (his,
rather than that my friends should feel
that 1 was indifferent, either to them or
the'cause, and I am most happy to avail
myself of this occasion to return my sin - j
cete thanks and to express the grateful 1
emotions of my heart, to those friends of
the country who have so generously and
so tinhlv stood by tlie Constitution and
the Union, during 1 lie perilous scenes
through which we have just passed. Mv
sincere prayer is, that their country may
cherish and teward them according to
their merits.
I hope and trust that my withdrawal may
enable the Convention to unite harmon
iously upon some mere tlesetving candi
date ; one w ho if elected may be more suc
cessful in winning and retaining tlie con
fidence of the party to which be is at
tached, than 1 have been. Divided as
we were, upon toy accession to the Pres
idency, on questions of vital importance,
it was impossible ‘or me lo, pursue a course
w liicli w ould satisfy all. 1 have not at
tempted it. 1 have sought more anx
iously to do what was right than what
would please; and 1 shall feel no dis
appointment at finding that my con
duct has, in the estimation ol a majority
of the Convention, rendered nte an tin
availah! candidate. But it should at all
lime's he a subject of felicitation to any
man that he has been enabled to serve
his country by sacrificing himself* This
is a consequence which neither he nor his
friends have any cause to regret ; and I
hope mine will view it in that light.
For m v self pet mil me to add, I have no
further aspirations. 1 feel that I have
enjoyed much more of public honors than
I deserved, and 1 shall soon retire from
this exalted station with infinitely more
satisfactio then I entered upon it and with
a heart grateful for tlie confidence which
countrymen have reposed in me—grateful
for the indulgence with which they have
received my humble efforts to serve them,
and anxious only that they’ may be better
served by my successor, and that onr glo
rious Union and free institutions may be
perpetual
I haye the honor to he sir,
Yourjfellow-citizen and ob’tserv’t

Reader, this is the man who has been
sacrificed by a ferocious faction, to make
room for Gen. Scott. Think of it. His
letter shows him lo be the equal of Brutus
and Cicinnattns, and second in modesty,
and virtue, and unselfish patriotism, only
to the immortal Washington himself.
Sad Intelligence from California —
Mortality among Georgia Emigrants.
The steamship Crescent City arrived
at New York on Monday evening, brings
among other items of news from the
Pacific side, the inteligence of the arrival
of the British ship Sir Charles Napier,
San Francisco on tlie 21st of May, after
a voyage of 90 days Ironi Panama. The
ship had 18 cabin and 156 steerage
on the voyage, among whom we find the
names of several persons from this State.
When the ship had been out only one
day from Panama the measles, dysentery
and fever began to show themselves, and
continued with more or less virulence for
about three weeks, in which lime no less
than 36 were consigned to the deep. A
succession of calms on and near the
equator, no doubt caused this great mor
tality, as the heat at that time was most
excessive. Although (he passage was
90 days from port to port, they were not
thirty of them on which there was wind
enough to kpep the sails full.
The following is a list of the Georgians
who died on board the ship :
T. Banks, Murry county ; M. Rogers,
Cherokee county; Burns,T .Havies,
Jackson conuty ; Z. Grimble, John Sears,
T. Robertson, W. J. Gronne, W. A
Dawson, Boly Wickeo, Gordon county ;
E. Rouse, William Birt, G. Carson, Z.
Baker, Lumpkin county ;J. W. Ttt
naliii, G. Vinaeot, A. Reid, Cass
conuty ; J. M. Kincaid, Aillfy and
Osbornp,, (black boys,) Burke county ;
James Hamblin, Murray county.
Died on board steamship AlcKim, on
the passage from Panama, Joseph Bolin
and VV. VV. Johnson, of Georgia.
Died in California, J. J. Simons, of
Georgia.
It will berementbred tliat a considerable
number of Georgians from interior coun
ties, with several from Tennessee, North
and South Carolina, sailed in the Isabel
with a number of slaves for California, via
Havana. We presume the passengers
on the Sir Charles Napier w ere of com
pany.
Letter from Judge Hill.
The following letter from Hon. E. Y.
Hill has been handed us, by a friend, (or
publication, and w ill be read with interest,
as it speaks candidly and boldly on a sub
ject nt this time of great interest to the
public ; and shows the position of one of
our most prominent states men.
11 was written in reply to a letter ask
ing him to draft (in address to the Whigs of
Georgia, with the view of rallying them to
the support of Gen. Scott and to give the
“weight and influence of his name” to
the end. The answer speaks for itself.
La Grange, 3d July, 1852.
Gentlemen : —Your favor of 26th ult.,
was duly received, by the contents o(
which 1 could but feel highly flattered.
1 regret, however, that 1 am compelld to
render so ungrateful a requital lo your
friendly request. I have delayed send
ing you an answer till now, in the hope
that something might transpire to prevent
a separation between myself and many of
my old nnd well tried friends. But I
fear the die is east; and of the Whig
Party’ of Georgia do take up the Bal
timore nominee, they must excuse me
from tlie co-operation which they may
think me hound teVarcoril. I cannot go
with them and preserve my consistency.
Having been uniformly opposed to send
ing delegates lo either oP the Baltimore
Conventions, and not recognizing tlie au
thority of those, there assembled, to com
mit any Constitutional Union man, 1 am
still free lo follow the dictates of my ow n
conscience. I had neither lot not part
in their action. Not hav ingobtaiued my
own consent to vote for Scott. lam un
willing to be instrumental in persuading
others to do so.
Thanking yin for your good opinion
and personal kindness, allow me, respec..
fully, lo decline tlie proffered honor of
becoming inconsistently conspicuous be
fore tie people of Georgia. From my
present impressions, I shall take rn> part
in forcing an unwilling constituency, the
dictation of any political junto. Whig or
Democrat.
4 Though 1 deserted and abandoned,’
I remain a Constitutional Union man,
and personally,
Your fiiend.

Letters from Distinguished men.
We publish in our present issue, the
letters of Mr. Fillmore Mr. Stephens and
Mr Jenkins, and invite the careful peru
sal of the Public. Air. Fillmore’s letter,
in onr opinion, is not surpassed by any
production that has been placed before the
public since the Farewell Address of ‘the
Father of the country.’ It breathes a
spirit of patriotism and love of Country,
for above the contamination of Party
Faction or sectional feeling, and could
only emanat from a statesman really at
all times to sacrifice himself for the good
of his whole country. But we deem com
ment snperflous, the letter speaks for it
self in language that cannot be mistaken.
The following Correspondence has
been handed to us by Maj. Miller, for
publication in our columns.
Macon, July 11th, 1852.
Dear Sir : —The Whig party of Bibb
County have determined to make a rally
on Thursday night, in this city, and
would be glad of your presence nn the
occasion. We feel certain that you are
for Scott and Graham, and the country,
and against Kossuth and the democracy.
Respectfully yours £cc.
Titos. Pinkney Smith,
One of the Whig Committee.
Maj. S. F. Miller, Oglethorpe Ga.
Oglethorpe, July, 13, 1852.
Dear Sir :—1 received to-day your
note of 1] thins)., inviting me to a Whig
rally for Scott and Graham, in the ci,v
of RI aeon.
Were I present at your Gathering, I
could have no sympathy with your “dev
monstrution. I might enjoy the fine
speaking, but not the cause. Your
standard bearer, though covered with
lauiels, and worthy to rank w ith Well
ington as a military Chieftain is tainted
w ith “ higher law ’ associations, if not
propensities. Asa Whig soldier in the
Campaigns of 1840 and 1844, sharing
alternate victory and defeat under leaders
who now exist only in fame, I exceeding
ly regret that a big National Conven
tion should have ever presented a can
didate for the Presidency whom I could
not fre dy support. But, ] find nn self in
this embarrassing position in 1852. —
Gen. Scott, though a native Virginan,
and proud as he is brave, may have af
fections for Canada incompatible with
the weifare of Georgia. lie has not re
lieved himself from the possibility by any
ait or declaration. I admire hint as a
hero, and still must refuse to aid in cloth
ing him with Executive powers. The
Iree States, as you well know, have a
large majority in the popular branch of
Congress and the eqnlibrinm between the
North and South has been destroyed by
the admission of California as a State.-
How vitally important, then, to the Slave
States that we should hive a Pn sident
who would protect us against the unemi.
slitnliunal legislation ol a reckless ma
jority in Congress which nay at any time
proclaim, in solemn form that 1 lie- higher
late forbids “ man to sell his brother
man !”
Tlie Whig party of die North has been
absorbed by the aboliti mists nnd fiee
soilers. I can never recognize such
companions; nor am f Milling lo vole
lor Gen. Pierce, the democratic nominee
Ihough of die two candidates in the field,
/ ugard his claim on the confidence ol
the South ns the most respectable. I
shall stand aloof, as at present inclined,
folding my arms in the contest, with noth
ing totally upon but the Compromise",
a#expounded by the Georgia platform.
I think the Whigs of the South can pre
serve their consistency and honor by
remaining neutral; or, if they must take
sides, let them unite on Gen. ’ Pierce, and
thus prevent Gen. Scott front receiving
the electoral vote of a solitary slave State.
a just rebuke for his condescension to
the enemies of tlie South.
1 hankful for the civility of your invi
tation, and trusting that ‘old friendships
will not be disturbed by this conflict ol
opinion between hrodierjWhigs,
1 remain yours sincerely,
Stephen F. Miller.

COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Editor :—As another season lias
arrived when tlie friends nnrnemies of this
Infant city will look with more or less in
terest to the ravages of diseases and
deaths among her inhabitants, it maybe
gratifying to some abroad to hear the
signs of the times.
It will be borne in mind that all voices
have been raised, and every influence
brought into action, that would tend in
the least to prejudice the public mind
with reference to the health of the place.
No pains wer spared, and no effort aban
doned that would either postpone, or
prevent immigration to the building up
of the town. Bilious Fever, lean and
long, was depicted in appalling languor.
Nojie need hope to elude his terrific vis
itation. Ague too, was the inevitable
and constant Companion of all the Chim
erical adventurer who dared pitch a tent
within her precincts. Nor was diseases
all. Even Muskeloes, Frogs and Alli
gators, were threatened by tier enemies,
to become the neighbors of those who
dared claim citizenship Forsooth ; it a
tnotinled to open trespass on frog and
alligator soil to entertain even a propo=
silion of settlement. It were an ag
gression worse titan the dismemberment
of Texas territory, for the Country was
not only settled up w rested from its pos*
scssors, but they received me compensat
ing remuneration.
Bui how stands the matter now?-_
Where are the trumpeters that hailed the
new's abroad that sic kness, death, a grave
yard, and man’s will than ever Pondora’s
box contained, constantly availed him
who tvas so unfortunate as to seek a home
1 in.this unhallowed spot ! Alas! for their
fondest hopes have been disappointed.—
A population of twelve hundred people
enjov a share of health that might well be
envied by any town in Georgia. Tit*
dulness of summer, detracts nothing from
the scorn of health, and prosperity.—
improvements continued. New business
—houses, and dwelling almost daily go
ing up. Up to the present time 1 vernure
tlie opinion, nr.d challenge reputation,
that no town of the same sign in rite state
present a fairei report onVeabh and mor
ality, ifvve are able to say the same up
to the first of September next, a lively
trade w ill open and continues with in
creasing interest.
Now sir, allow the offer of my frsperlsr
then I close. I trust however that the
public will not misconstrue this into an
invitation to migrate to our pitch pine
city of the woods. No such intention on
mv part. I only design consoling those
of our citizens who are absent, I doubtless
would like to hear from ns. To them (
would say individually “ all’s well.”—
So far from inviting new settlers. I only
would say we are doing very well, if no
others come in, our businessmen all can
make a fortune, (lie trade is sufficient,
but if any should wish to come in I reap
some of the lien’ fits of Georgias Crescent
city, they will be treated as neighbors
gentlemen, and associates. Good bye.
Don’t be suprised if 7 write to you from
Mobile. Keep till straight till I return.
