Why Mr Filimore Signed the Fugitive
Slave Bill.
The New Albany Tribnne, the Fillmore or
gan in Indiana, says that Fillmore gave his of*
licial sanction to the Fugitive Slave bill be
cause‘we could not have got other laws
on which our hearts were Act,that we have got,
had not that law passed also/ and because ‘in
doing so he was but carrying out one of the
great principles of the party which elected
hjm —that the personal opinions of the execu
tive on mere questions of policy, ought never
to be brought iuto conflict with the will of
pooples* representatives, by au arbitrary exer
cise of the veto power.
The Tribune also informs its readers that
Mr. Fillmore would just as readily sigu bills
•restoring the Missouri restriction, and repeal
ing or amending the Fugitive slave law We
•have not the slightest doubt but that the i ri
bune is correctly informed upon the subject
That we may uot be misuudei stood, we
frankly confess that, for ourselves, we have g no
doubt iu regard to Mr. Fillmore’s position on
the Kansas Nebraska act. Our conviction is
equally clear and strong that he would
have opposed the repeal of the Missouri re
striction, and would have thrown the weight
of bis administration against the Kansas Ne
braska act. And such is the positive and
‘public assurance of his most confidential friend
and zealous supporter —of the friend who as
sumes, with reason; to speak his Sentiments
The writer of the fdllowihg paragraph, from a
recent issue of the New York Express, played
a conspicuous part in the Philadelphia Con
vention as the special champion of Mr: Fill
more’s-interests-.
‘Nb man Can doubt, that tile writer cf this
message—Fillmore’s message td Cdttgie>s ill
ißsorwould, if in public life iu 1884, have re
sisted the disturbance made of these Compro
mise bills by Mr Senator Douglass and Mr.
Fresidefit PiCrce, both Northern men. No
man ean doiibt that Mr Fillmdre thus regrets
the annulment Os the Compact Os 1820, and all
the fearful sectional passions excited by it.
A man’s character is known fVOtti associa

Fillmore Cabinet, and Coukling, a prominent
official under the Fillmore Administration, are
clamorous for the restoration of the Missouri

The Newuan Banner, in speaking of
an address delivered by Col. W. F: Wright,
Isaya ; ,
“His remarks in vindication of Col. J. W.
White, the. whole souled Kansas Lecturer,
now traversing our State, and stirring up the
.people of the South to their true interests aud
a sense of the imminent dangers surrounding ]
them, were well timed and received with
rounds of applause. He said lie hud seen and
heard enough to satisfy him that Mr. White
jwas what he represented himself to be; nothing
*morenor less; an humble citizen of Kansas
engaged iu a good eause aud that if the Ter-
Vitory is admitted as a slave State* Mr. White
will have done more to advance the interests
bf the South than auy other individual- the
efforts of his enemies aud the base innuendoes
and uiisreprestations of his revile rs and slan
derers to the countrary notwithstanding We
were truly gratified to hear this statement
from Col. Wright, alter what has been doueiu
certain quarters by the secret emissaries of
Abolitionism at the South or misinformed,
faint hearted friends, to cripple the influauce
of a patriotic,self sacrifie.ng advocate of South
ern rights, who has dared to raise his warn
ing voice in opposition to the aggressions of
Black hearted Black Republican aud Black ;
Abolitionism as they are now being developed I
in the territory of Kansas. Jf their plans j
are defeated and Kansas secured to us by a j
tide ofSoutheru emigration, we with Colonel j
Wright, believe it will be owing principal)’ to;
the exertion of‘this mail White,* who has]
created such and excitement iu Georgia, Ala ‘
bama and Mississippi, and raised astorrn about
the heads of the Abolitionists which was as un
expected as it is destined; we hope, to prove
destructive to all their designs and well laid
plans. With such evidence before us, of the
good effects of White’s mission to Georgia;
how can auy Southern man do otherwise than

The Stfif Spahgleil Banner.
If the French hymn of Liberty,the Marseil
laise was composed under exciting circum
stances, the Btar Spangled Banner was inspir
ed by events no less patriotic by our distiu-J
giiislied couutrymau, Mr Ffaneis Scott Key,
an able aud eloquent lawyer, and accomplish
ed gentleman, a man of noble find generous
impulses. During the war with tlie British in
1814, Mr. F. Scott Key residing in Baltimore,
and hearing of the detention of a defif and iu
timate friend, he started to obtaiu his release:
He went as far as the mouth of the FfitapS
co river, which enters the Chesapeake Bfiy,
and is about eighty five miles north of the I*o
tomac river Here he was arrested and cat
ried on board a British man of war belonging
to the British fleet stationed opposite Forte
McHenry, the bombardment of which he was
compelled to witness. The English Admiral
boasted before Mr. Key that he would take the
Fort in a few hours, aud the city of Baltimore
within the two succeeding days. The bom
bardment continued during the whole day and
the whole ol the following night, without mok
iug an impression either on the strength pf the
works, or the spirit of the garrison
Our patriotic countryman stood on the deck
watching, through the smoke which some
times obscured it, the banner of freedom waiv
ing from the fort At length night came
and he could see it no more. S'ill he watched
until at lengthddarnw r n began to bring the object
around into distinctness. With beating heart
he turned towards the fort, and there, waving
to the morning breeze, high and uninjured,
was the banut r, with its stars and stripes, the
bauuer, of freedom and independence, then in
its eurly days. It was at this moment of joy
and triumph that Francis Scott Key, under
the influence of a patriotc excitement, compos
ed the Star Spangled Banner. After Mr.
Key. had been liberated, and the British had
retired from Fort McHenry, without attempt
ing the attack of the City of Baltimore, he
completed his patriotic hymn, which was en
thusiaßtcaVly received then, aud has ever been
considered as one of the national songs of the
country.- At Washington, Mr Burton Key,
the Son of Mr Scott Key, (who died in 1853)
was present, \\ ith many Senators and all the
distinguished society of that city, when vtile
I’arodi and Mine Strakosch repeated amidst
thunders u< applause and waving of haudker
chiefs, this inspired verse, and he was most
deeply moved by the homage of the memory
of his father’s genitre.- •

Mr. Editor: Having recently had a Surgical operation up
on iny eye, I feel it due both to the gentleman who perform
ed it, and to others who may be similarly afflicted, to make
known the result through the columns of your paper.
My right eye had been badly crossed from childhood, and
the sight of it much weakened from disuse. Accidentally
meeting with Dr. T. J. Eaton, an experienced operator, I
concluded to have it straightened. In but very little time,
not exceeding thirty seconds, and comparatively little pain,
the convergents eye was completely restored to its proper
place, with every prospect of an improvement of the sight.
After the operation upon my eye, I took a seat in the
Doctor’s buggy, and drove with him some twp miles to see
a young lady suffering from the same deformity. With the
same skill and dispatch ,a perfectly successful operation was
performed upon her eye, greatly to the satisfaction of all in
t erested.
1 have no hesitancy in saying to any one having cross
eyes, that they can rely upon the judgment and skill of Dr-
Eaton.
He inserts artificial eyes, cures club-foot, Ac.,and perhaps
will visit your place to attend to such cases as fall within
the scope of his profession. Yours,

At a regular communication of Frateknai. Lodge, No.
37, held at the Lodge Room, McDonough, May 17th, 1856,
the death of our Most Worshipful Grand Master Wm. C.
Dawson being announced, the following preamble and res
olutions passed, to-wit:
It is always painful to review the raVagbs of tiiiifc, iii lifer
onward march- all ftgfed.sex and condition have fallen be
fore her. To escape, experience has long since taught, is
utterly impossible. Up to the present day, the history of
the worlU proves that she has never respected either the
condition or circumstances of her subject, but; as with the
stern tint of HeaVen, she calls them away regardless of the
Vacuum left behind, With painful emotious we have heu>-d
the announcement of the death of William C. Dawson, the
Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of au
cient Free Masonry of the State of Georgia. To do his
memory justice, both as a Mason and man, iu a Tribute of
respect of this kind, your committee deem it utterly impos
sible: Asa man iuthc position which he occupied iu con
nection with the Fraternity, all can judge how much he was
loved; honored aud esteemed ; he embosomed the confi
dence and affection of our ancient Order ; to every brother
he extended the irieudl-y “grip to every sufferer and ob
ject ot charity, bis heart and hand was ever open. Merits
like these are too seldom possessed by frail, mortal man. .
Asa man, the Fraternity need say nothing of him ; his re
cord as a Statesman on file in the archives of the Nation,
furnish ample proof df his distinguished ability, and his de
votion to his country as a patriot ; but to the Fraternity,
his irreparable loss will be kuown by nothing save the im’
pression made upon the hearts of the faithful brotherhood.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Wm. C. Dawson, Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia, the
l- ruternity has sustained a loss which none will feel more
sensibly than the Grand budy over which he presided with
such distinguished ability.
Resolved, That it will ever bfe not only a pride, but a
pleasure to the Craft, to reniember his many virtues as a
man, neighbor aud Mason, and that we will ever claim him
as oue ot theuioSt faithful of our deceased brotherhood.
Resolved, That We sincerely sympathise with the bereav
ed famity, and hereby tender them our heart fcltcondolence.
Resolved, That tlie members of this Lodge wear the usual
badge of mourning for three months, aud that the jewels
be likewise clothed in mourning.
Resolved, That a copy of the faregoing preamble and re3
olutions be furnished to the family of the lamented deceas.
