From the Richmond Euqniier. 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 tions Collamet*, and influential member of the Fillmore Cabinet, and Coukling, a prominent official under the Fillmore Administration, are clamorous for the restoration of the Missouri restriction. No doubt they represent the opin ions of the bead of the house 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 ‘Bid him God speed V 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.- • *w Yorx Republicans e . p. .j. tt State Convention lor the ‘2Bth of May. i EWS ITEMS. ” - 1 - ‘ ~ ‘ W ashintoh, May 13.—Mr. Buchanan arrived to-night.

A Card. Ghkntsville, Ga., ) April 26, 1866. j 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, LEVI H. LOFTON.

Hearing of Dr. McLadfe’s Celebrated Liver Pills, I concluded to try a box. I did so, and am now almost cured. I think one box more will effect a permanent cure.

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. ed.
