The history of Millard Fillmore, our candidate for Vice President, affords a useful lesson as showing what may be accomplished in the face of the greatest obstacles, by intel¬ lect, aideil and controlled by etierey, perse¬ verance and strict integrity, in a public and private, capacity. His father, Nathaniel FiLLMORK, is a son of one. of like name who served in the French war, and was a true AVhig of the Revolution, proving his devotion to his country's cause by gallantly fighting as Lieutenant under Gen. Stark, inthe battle of IJeuninglon. He was born at Bennington, Vermont, in 177.1, and early in life removed to what is now called Summer Hill, Cayuga county, N. Y., where Millard was born January 7, ISOO. He was a farmer and sonn alter losl all his properly by a bad title to one of the military lots he hatl purchased. About the year IS02 he removeil to the town ol Sempronius, now Niles, and re¬ sided thure nntillS 10. wIlmi he removeil-to Erie county, where he slill live.":, cultivating a small faun wilh ilis own hands. He was a .etning and uaii'orm supporter of Jellorson, '4tl.idison and Tompkins, and is uow a trun Whij;. 'I'liu iKirrow means of his father deprived Millard of any advaiilases of etlucation be¬ yond whal weic allorded by ih,? irnp.nrroclaiul ill taught common schools ol ihe <;ountry.— Books were scarce and dear, and at the age of lilleen, when more favoied youths are far advanced in their classical studies, or enjoy¬ ing in colleges the beneiit nf well furnj.'ihed libpiriesi.youug Fillmokk had read but little e.vce^Jii.Bcorhmon school books nnd the Bible. At that'^period lie was .=ent into the then wilds of Livinsslon eoniily, to. learn the clothier's trade. He remained thfefe about four months, and was then placed with'anoiher per.son to pursue the same business aud wool carding in the town where his falher lived. A small village libraiy Ih.il w:is formed Ihere soon af¬ ter, gave him the lirst nicaiisofac((uiringgeii- eralknowledge Ihioupli books. He irnproveil the opporluui'ty thus oli'ered, tlio appetite grew by what it I'ea upon. 'Die thirst lur knowl¬ edge soon became in.'aliaie, and every leisure moment was spent in leadin;;. Four years were passed in this way, working at his trade, and storing his mind, dniing sueh hours as he could command, with the.contents of books of liistory, biography and travels. At the age of 19 he fortunately maile acipiaintaiice with Ihe laie Walter Wood, Ksq., whom many will remember as one of the most estimable citi¬ zens of that county. Judge Wood was a man of wealth and great business capacity; he had an e.vcellent law library, but did little professional business. He soon saw that nn¬ der the rude e.vlerior of the dolliier's boy were powers that only required proper devel- iipemeiit lo raise ihe possessor to high disiinc¬ lion and usefulness, and advised him to quil his trade and study law. In reply to the ob¬ jection of a lack of education, means and Iriends to aid him in a conrse of professional study, Judge W. kindly oU'ereil lo give him a place iu his oflice, to advance money to defray the e.vpenses, and wait nntil success i:i busi¬ ness should furnish the means of repayment. The apprentice boy bought his time; entered the ollicf of Judge Wood, and for more than two years applioil liimself closely to business and study. He read law and geueral liteia- lure, and' studied and practised surveying. Fearing he should incur too large a debt to his benefactor, he taught school for three muiiths in the year, and acquired the means of partially supporting himself. In the fall of IS21 ho removed to the county of Erie, and the next spring entered a law ollice in BulTalo. There he suslained himsolf by teaching school, aud continued his legal studies until the spring of 1823, when he vvas admitted to the Common I'leas, and commenced practice in the village of Aurora, where he remained unliU 1S:J0, when he again removed to Buffa¬ lo, and has continued to reside there ever since. 'His lirst entrance into public life was in January, 1829, when he took his seat as a member in the Legislature from Erie county, to which ollice he was re-elected tho two fol¬ lowing years. His lalent, integrity and assiduous devotion lo public busine.'is. soon won for him the con¬ fidence of the House in an une.xampled de¬ gree. It was a common remark among the members " if FiLLMOKE says it is right, we will vote for it.'' The most important measure of a general nature that came up during his service in the Slate Legislature was, the bill to abolish Im¬ prisonment for Debt. In behalf of that great and pKilantrophic measure, Mr. Fill.mobe took au active part, urging with unanswerable arguments its justiee and e.vpediency; and, as a member of the committee, on that subject, aiding to perfect its details. That poriion of the bill relating to Justice' Courts was drafted by him; the remainder being the work of the . Hon. John C. Spencer. The bill met wilh fierce, unrelenting opposition at every step of ils progress, and to JMiLLAiin Fillmorb as much as.any other man, are we indebted, for expunging i'rom the statute book that relict of a cruel, barbarous age, -Imprisonment for Debt. He was elected to Congress in the fall of 1832. The session of 1833-4 will long bo re¬ membered as the one in which that system of politics, known under the comprehensive name of Jacksonism was fnlly developed.— He took llis seat in the stormy session of 18- 33-4, inimediately succeeding the removal of the Deposits. In those days the business of the House aud debates were led by old and experienced members—new ones, unless they enjoyed a wide-spread and almost national reputation, rarely taking an active anil con¬ spicuous part. Little vchance, Iherelbre, was afl'orded hiin as a Member of the opposition, young and.unassuming, of displaying those qualities that so eminently fit him for legis¬ lative usefulness. Bnl the siihool was onelid- miiably qualified to more fully develope and cultivate those powers ^vliicli, under moro favorable circumstances, havo enabled him to render such varied and important services to his counlry. As he has over done in all the slationslliB has'filled, he discharged his duty with scrupulous fidelily, never omitting ou all "proper occasions any eilbrt to advance the in¬ terests of his constitnents .and thc conntry, and winning the respect aud confidence of all. At the close of his term of service he re¬ sumed the practice of his profession, whicii he pHisueil with distinguished reputation and success until, yielding to the public voice, he consented lo become a candidate, and was re¬ elected to Congress in the fall of 183q. The reinarks above made in relation to liis service in the 23d Congress will measurably a])ply to his second term. Jacksonism and the Pet Bank system.'had in the march of the 'pro¬ gressive Democracy,' given place to Van Burenism aud Ihe.Snb Treasury. It was but another step toward the \iracrKal repudiation nl old republicai, principles, and an advance to the Locoloooism nf the present day. In this Congress Mr. Fili.mop.f. look a more active j.art than lie did during his first lerm, and on the as.sembling of the ne.vt Congres.s, to whicll he was re-elected by a largely increased ma¬ jority, he was assigned a prominent place on what, ne.vt to that of Ways and Means, it was justly anticipated wonld become the most im¬ porlant commilteo of the House-that on elect¬ ions. It was m this Congress that the famous contested N. .lersey case came up It would swell this brief biographical sketcli to too great a length to enter upon the details of that case, and it is the less necessary to do so inas¬ much as the circumstances of the gross out- • rage then perpetrated by a party calling iiself iepublican,and claiming to respect Stato'r'HiLs must yet dwell in the recollection of every reader. The prominent part which Mr. Fillmore took in that case, his patient investigation of »11 its complicated, minute details, the clear convincing manner in which he set forth the facts, the lofty and indignant eloquence with which he denounced the meditated wrong, all strongly direcled public attention to him as' one of the ablest itien of Ihat Congress, dis¬ tinguished as it was by the eminent ability and statesmanship of many of ils membera. —Public indignation was awakened by the enormity of the outrage, aud in that long cat- alogue of abuses and wrongs which roused a long suffering people to action, and*resolution in tlie signal overihrow of a corrupt and in¬ solent dynasty in 1840, the New Jersey case stood marked and conspiciious. On the assembling ol the next Congress, to which Mr. Fillmore was re-elected by a ma¬ jority larger than was ever before given to his disirict, he was placed attheheadof the com¬ mittee on Ways and Means. The duties of that station, always arduous and responsible, were at that time peculiarly so. A new Ad¬ ministration had come into power aud found pnblic affairs iu a state of the greatest de¬ rangement. Accounts had been wrongly kept, peculation of every kind abounded in almost every department of the Government, the rev¬ enue was inadequate lo meet the ordinary e.v¬ penses, the already large existing debt vvas rapidly swelling in magnitude, commerce and inanufactures were depressed, the currency was deranged, banks we're embarrassed, and general distress peivaded Ihe community.— ¦To bring order outof disorder, to replenish the National Treasury, to provide means that would enable the ttoverument to meet the de- mands.against it, and to pay oil' the debl, to revive the industry of the country, and restore ils wonted prosperity, these were Ihe tasks devolved npon the committee of Ways and iMcaiis. To increa.se Iheir dimcullie.s, the minority, composed of that party that had brought the Counlry and Government into sueh a condition, instead of aiding lo repair the evil they had done, uniformly opposed almost eve¬ ry means bconght forward for relief, aud loo often Iheir unavailing efforts were successfully aided by a treacherous Executive. But with engergy and devotion lo the public weal worlhy of all admiration, Mi. Fillmore appli¬ ed himself to ihe ta,sk, suslained by a ma¬ jority whose eiilighlencil patriotism has rare¬ ly been equalled, and never surpassed, suc¬ ceeded in ils accomplishment. The measures he bronght forward and sus¬ tained with matchless abijity,speedilj-relieved the Government from its embarrassment, and have fully inslilind the mnst sanguine expeeta tions of their benign iiifiuence upon their coun¬ try at large. A new and more accurate sys¬ tem of keeping accounis, rendering them clear and intelligible, was inlroduced. The favor¬ itism and pccnlalion which had so long dis¬ graced the departments and plundered the Treasury, were checked by tho requisition of contiacl.'i. The credit of the Government was restored, ample means were jjiovided for the exigencies of the pnblic service, and the payment ofthe National debt incurred by tho I'ormer administration. Commerce and Man ul'aclures revived, and prosperily and hope once more smiled upon the land. The Coun¬ try has too recently emerged from disasters of Mr. Van Buren's Administration.—it yet too keenly feels the suffering it then endnreil, and loo justly .ippreciaies Ihe beniliconland won¬ derful change that has been wrought lo ron der more than an allusion to those matters necessary—The labor nf devising, explaining and defending measures productive of sueh happy resulis was thrown chiefly on Mr. Fill- MORK. He was nobly sustained by his patri¬ otic fellow Whig.s; but on him, nevertheless, the main responsibility rested. . After his long and severe labors in the Com¬ mittee joom—labors sutficiently arduous to break «!own any but one of an iron constitution —suslained by a spirit that nothing could con¬ quer, he vvas required to give his unremitting' attention lo the business of the house, to make any explanation that might be asked and be ready with a complete and triumphant refu¬ tation of every cavil or objection that the in¬ genious sophistry of a factious minority could devise. All this, too, was required to be done with promptness, clearness, dignity and good temper. For the proper performance of va¬ ried duties, few raen are more happily quali¬ fied than Mr. Fillmore. At that fortunate age. when the physical and intellectual pow¬ ers are displayed in the highest perfection, aud Ihe hasty impulses of youlh wilhout any loss of ils vigor aie brought under control of large e.xperience in publicaffairs,-vvithamind capable of descending to minute details, as well as conceiving a grand system of national policy, calm and deliberate in juilgment, self- possessed and fluent iu debate, of dignified presence, never unmindful of the courtesies becoming social and public intercourse, and of poliiical integrity unimpeachable, he was admirably fitted for the post of leader of the 27th Congress. In 1844 he was selected as the Whig can¬ didate for Governor in Nevv Vork, but in con¬ sequence of the Barnburners and Old Hunk¬ ers uniting their support upon Silas Wright, he failed to be elecled. Confident, however, that he could command the strongest vote in New York, the Whigs again selected iiim as their candidate for Com^plroller in 1847, and Eucceeded'in electing him by an unpreceden¬ ted majority. Such was the boy, aud such is the man, whom the Whigs present as their candidate for the Vice Presidency. In every station in which he has been placed, he has shown him¬ self " honest, capable and true to'the consti¬ tution." He is emphatically one of the peo¬ ple. For ali that ho has and is, he is indebt¬ ed under God to his own e.vertions. Born to an inheritance of comparative poverty, and deprived of opporluniiies for improvemeni which now thanks to Whig policy are enjoyed by the humblest in the land, he struggled bravely wilh difiicullies that would hav'e ap¬ palled and crushed a less resolute heart. No¬ bly has he won his laurels, and long may he live to enjoy them. that it can be couveyed here in pipe's, and successfully used, for Jighting the city with gas, from this great natural, undergraund gas¬ ometer.

A countryraen-3one vvho had found his way down from a farm situated near the head waters ofthe Connecticut, stood by the railing of the Park Fountain, New York, with both hands elbow deep in histrowser'spock- et.s, looking at the magnificent jet of Croton, and wondering ' what ou airth could make it spurt up so s'prisin' like.' ' York is a golbuster of a town !' he mut¬ tered, ' there ain't nuffin like it in the spel¬ lin'book!'' ' Have you seen ail the sights 1' asked a very nappily-dressed gentleman, who had sidled up close to him while he was speak¬ ing. ' Nan 1' replied onr friend Zedekiah; ' Havo you seen all the sights 1' repeated the genteely-dressed young man, loud enough to be heard above the spla.sh of the waters ' Wall, I reckon yes! Took Cousin Hul- der tew the Museum, and up tew see tlie Massaseep paintin', and the Mangery !' ' Then yon saw Ihe elephant ?' ' Ves—tvvo ou 'em, great nasty lookin' critters they was tew !'

'Pew tell!' said ZeJekiah, now taking a more respectful look at the gentleman.— ' Eut what does he have a keeper for '!' ' To take in llie change. He's very poor now, and has to be e.vhibiied fora living!' 'Why, yon don't say so? Wliat d'ye charge for a peep V 'Five dollars!' 'Five—five—what?' ' Five dollars! He's .-i king, you know, and can't be seen like common folks!' ' Well, that may make a diff'renee, biit by golly, it's a big figger tew cipher up!— Can't go it though I should like see the old 'uu jnst tew tell of when T get tew hn'm !' ' I'm very sorry that we can't break our positive rules; but you can go and look at him for that price, and have a talk with him, and then I'll let you bring \:ulyfree '¦' ' Where does he pnt up'!' asked Zedekiah. ' At the Astor, that great slone tavern across the street there !' replied the ' keeper,' In silent contempt the Frenchman passed on. Zed couldn't stand it. He ' riled' iri a moment. With one bound be overtook the Frenchman, and, seizing him by the col¬ lar, 'spun him back into the center of the room. ' By gar—if you will have one fight you shall have heem!' cried the Frenchman, perfectly red with .fury, at the same time drawing a revolver from his pocket, and pre¬ senting it at Zedekiah's breast. 'Hallo! quits! don't shute!—murder- thunder!' yelled Zedslciah, dodging behind the door, just as the Frenchman snapped a cap at him. the pistol fortunately not going off. In a moment the room was filled with people. ' What is the matter ?' cried the crowd. ' Zat Yankee has onsooU me—he assault mo !' cried the Frenchman. 'Jist liold on tew the img, he's mad— stark, stavin' mad! he's tryin' tew shute me against law and gospel!' cried Zed. ' What king V asked the crowd. ' Why.Lewy Philip, tew be sure !

'That person has uo keeper, nor has need of any. He is perfectly peaceable, and has made a fortune in teacliing dancing in the West. I know him very well!' ' Then he isn't Lewy Philippe?' ' No indeed. If we can credit the paper.s, kc is .still in England!' ' And this here Teller hain't got no keeper?' 'No!'

The Messrs. Grangers, in boring to fiml" water to supply their saw mill, sunk a four inches hole to the depth of seventy feet, vvhen they struck a vein, or oavily. As they withdrew the au¬ ger from the hole, to their great surprise, it was followed by a violent cucrcnt of air, thai threw np stones as large as hen's eggs, ten or fifieen leet high. For a lew moments, when the hole was first opened, the air was accompanied by a stream of vvaler, which vvds Ihrown ten or twelve feet high. The water, however, soon ceased coming, and tho air gushed out wilh snch loree thai he roar_ could be distinctly heard iil'ly ni sixty rods distant. On touchiiii. riie 10 the air, ilcau!ihl,and the Hames flashed I twenty ieet high, and came near burning the building covering the machinery, near which it vvas locaied. . . They finally sncccedeil with considerable diHicully in slopping it, by forcing down blan¬ kets, and driving a spile into the hole, which vvas their only means of stopping the air or eas, and extinguishing the liames. For sever¬ al moments after the hole was slopped Ihe earlh trembled and shook for some dislance around, a.s Ihough an eruption vvas about to lake place. The people, who by this time had gathered to the number of about a hun¬ dred, vvere greally alarmed at these symptoms, and scattered with all possible rapidity, sup¬ posing that Millerism vvas about coming to a focus, or that they were aboul lo be blown up sky high by an earthquake. From the time it wos opened till it was thus closed, was about six hourii, and the air gushed outall the time with unabated violence. It has been opened several limes since with the same efl'ect. The powerand force of the air does not seem to diminish in the least. The Messrs. Grangers are proposing to secure it with apparatus so as 10 shut itoffandlet it out at leisure, and test its real qualities. The people in that vicinity are all confidenl now pointing over to the Astor Iiouse ' Can't you take lew-fifty, and I'll not bring Hulder in ?' said Zedekiah, vvho hated to part with five dollars, much as he desired to see a king. ' Very sorry, but our riiSl'^are positive— couldn't take four dollars' and ninety-nine cents and two-thirds!' replied the 'keeper.' 'Wall, it is all-lired stravagant, but then a live'iing-ain't tew be seen every day, nor Sundays, nithet! I think I'll go it; have you got change for a ten dollar bill ?' No, I haven't it with me; but I'll get it changed at the office while you're talking lo the king !' replied the ' keeper,' and taking Zedekiah's bill, he walked over to the Astor with him. Walking in, he passed along the hall look¬ ing inlo the various parlors, vvhen he stopped before one where a grey headed, foreign,- lookiiig gentleman was seated, reading a newspaper. ' That's him—go right in and talk to hira, while I go' and get your change!' said the ' keeper,' pointing to the elderly gentleman. ' But mustn't I have an interduce ?' 'Oh, no! He's democratic now. You don't ueed an introduction. Go right up to him!' The ' keeper' hurried away now to got the bill chaii'^ed, and'Zedekiah walked into the parlor. 'How de dew !' said he, as lie drew a chair and seated himself .before the old gen¬ tleman. ' Ver well, sare, tank you, sare!' said the latter, raising his eyes from his paper, and elevating his eyebrows with surprise at being spoken to by a stranger. ' VVhen did you git tew teown ?' continu¬ ed Zedekiah, remembering at the rnoment that his hat vvas on, aiulv-KFi^'/mg himself instantly. The Frenchman elevated his 'brows still more, bnt his politeness conquered his sur¬ prise. ' Von week an', tree days more !' he re¬ plied. ' Seying and three are ten—ten days, eh?' continued Zedekiah. 'Yes, sare, tank you !' replied the French genlleman- ' Hovv did you leave the folks tew hum on tother side o'the water?' continued Zed. 'Ozzar side ze watare, sare? .1 no onner- slaiid ! I have not been oii ze watare!' ' Oh, you needn't tell me that; I know who yuu be. You had pnrty warni \york, didn't you, mighty close shave ih gittiu' oil", eh ?' 'Sare, do you tak me for one barbare?' cried the'Freiichmau,angrily crushing up the newspaper in his bauds, and rising from his seat. ' ' Neow don't go to lew gettin' rily ! Your keeper '11 be back in a minnit. ' I didn't call you a barber!' My keepare, sar !' shouted the French¬ man, ' What shall you mean by gar! I'ave no keepare—I am able to keep myself, sar !' ' Oh, neow don't go tew gettin' crusty. 1 have paid my price to- see you ; and you onght tew be decent!' ' Sare, I see you mean to onsoolt me. By gar you are one small dog—orie popee ! 'Neow lookee here,.ohl fellor, yon jest hush up!' said Zedekiah, ' I didn't pay my money tew be called hard names; and 1 don't keer if you are Levvy Philip, or Queen Viclori/, or any bod/ else that's big,. I'm Zedekiah Jones and I don't keer a cent!' The Frenchman, seeing that not much was to be made out of Zedekiah, turned to leave tho room, 'but Zed had paid his five, Jiew niKl Taliiable .Scliool liook.s JUDD & MURRAY have jnst received, at llieir Cheap Book Store, opposite the Post OtTice, North IJneen street, Lancaster, tlie fol¬ lowing new publications : Parker's Coinpendiiiin of Natural and Experi¬ mental Philostiphy, eiijbraeiiig the eleilientnry principles of Mechanies, Hydrostatics, Hydrau¬ lics, Pneumaties, Acoustics, Pyronomies, Oj>- lies, Astrojioniy, Galvanism, Al.i^jietism, Elec¬ tro Mtignetisni, Magneto Electricity, with a dc-* 3eri]ilion of the Steam and Lneomotive Engines, illnstrated by nnmeron.s diagrams.

MILLARD FILLMORE.
The history of Millard Fillmore, our candidate for Vice President, affords a useful lesson as showing what may be accomplished in the face of the greatest obstacles, by intel¬ lect, aideil and controlled by etierey, perse¬ verance and strict integrity, in a public and private, capacity.
His father, Nathaniel FiLLMORK, is a son of one. of like name who served in the French war, and was a true AVhig of the Revolution, proving his devotion to his country's cause by gallantly fighting as Lieutenant under Gen. Stark, inthe battle of IJeuninglon. He was born at Bennington, Vermont, in 177.1, and early in life removed to what is now called Summer Hill, Cayuga county, N. Y., where Millard was born January 7, ISOO. He was a farmer and sonn alter losl all his properly by a bad title to one of the military lots he hatl purchased. About the year IS02 he removeil to the town ol Sempronius, now Niles, and re¬ sided thure nntillS 10. wIlmi he removeil-to Erie county, where he slill live.":, cultivating a small faun wilh ilis own hands. He was a .etning and uaii'orm supporter of Jellorson, '4tl.idison and Tompkins, and is uow a trun Whij;.
'I'liu iKirrow means of his father deprived Millard of any advaiilases of etlucation be¬ yond whal weic allorded by ih,? irnp.nrroclaiul ill taught common schools ol ihe <;ountry.— Books were scarce and dear, and at the age of lilleen, when more favoied youths are far advanced in their classical studies, or enjoy¬ ing in colleges the beneiit nf well furnj.'ihed libpiriesi.youug Fillmokk had read but little e.vce^Jii.Bcorhmon school books nnd the Bible. At that'^period lie was .=ent into the then wilds of Livinsslon eoniily, to. learn the clothier's trade. He remained thfefe about four months, and was then placed with'anoiher per.son to pursue the same business aud wool carding in the town where his falher lived. A small village libraiy Ih.il w:is formed Ihere soon af¬ ter, gave him the lirst nicaiisofac((uiringgeii- eralknowledge Ihioupli books. He irnproveil the opporluui'ty thus oli'ered, tlio appetite grew by what it I'ea upon. 'Die thirst lur knowl¬ edge soon became in.'aliaie, and every leisure moment was spent in leadin;;. Four years were passed in this way, working at his trade, and storing his mind, dniing sueh hours as he could command, with the.contents of books of liistory, biography and travels. At the age of 19 he fortunately maile acipiaintaiice with Ihe laie Walter Wood, Ksq., whom many will remember as one of the most estimable citi¬ zens of that county. Judge Wood was a man of wealth and great business capacity; he had an e.vcellent law library, but did little professional business. He soon saw that nn¬ der the rude e.vlerior of the dolliier's boy were powers that only required proper devel- iipemeiit lo raise ihe possessor to high disiinc¬ lion and usefulness, and advised him to quil his trade and study law. In reply to the ob¬ jection of a lack of education, means and Iriends to aid him in a conrse of professional study, Judge W. kindly oU'ereil lo give him a place iu his oflice, to advance money to defray the e.vpenses, and wait nntil success i:i busi¬ ness should furnish the means of repayment. The apprentice boy bought his time; entered the ollicf of Judge Wood, and for more than two years applioil liimself closely to business and study. He read law and geueral liteia- lure, and' studied and practised surveying.
Fearing he should incur too large a debt to his benefactor, he taught school for three muiiths in the year, and acquired the means of partially supporting himself. In the fall of IS21 ho removed to the county of Erie, and the next spring entered a law ollice in BulTalo. There he suslained himsolf by teaching school, aud continued his legal studies until the spring of 1823, when he vvas admitted to the Common I'leas, and commenced practice in the village of Aurora, where he remained unliU 1S:J0, when he again removed to Buffa¬ lo, and has continued to reside there ever since. 'His lirst entrance into public life was in January, 1829, when he took his seat as a member in the Legislature from Erie county, to which ollice he was re-elected tho two fol¬ lowing years.
His lalent, integrity and assiduous devotion lo public busine.'is. soon won for him the con¬ fidence of the House in an une.xampled de¬ gree. It was a common remark among the members " if FiLLMOKE says it is right, we will vote for it.''
The most important measure of a general nature that came up during his service in the Slate Legislature was, the bill to abolish Im¬ prisonment for Debt. In behalf of that great and pKilantrophic measure, Mr. Fill.mobe took au active part, urging with unanswerable arguments its justiee and e.vpediency; and, as a member of the committee, on that subject, aiding to perfect its details. That poriion of the bill relating to Justice' Courts was drafted by him; the remainder being the work of the . Hon. John C. Spencer. The bill met wilh fierce, unrelenting opposition at every step of ils progress, and to JMiLLAiin Fillmorb as much as.any other man, are we indebted, for expunging i'rom the statute book that relict of a cruel, barbarous age, -Imprisonment for Debt.
He was elected to Congress in the fall of 1832. The session of 1833-4 will long bo re¬ membered as the one in which that system of politics, known under the comprehensive name of Jacksonism was fnlly developed.— He took llis seat in the stormy session of 18- 33-4, inimediately succeeding the removal of the Deposits. In those days the business of the House aud debates were led by old and experienced members—new ones, unless they enjoyed a wide-spread and almost national reputation, rarely taking an active anil con¬ spicuous part. Little vchance, Iherelbre, was afl'orded hiin as a Member of the opposition, young and.unassuming, of displaying those qualities that so eminently fit him for legis¬ lative usefulness. Bnl the siihool was onelid- miiably qualified to more fully develope and cultivate those powers ^vliicli, under moro favorable circumstances, havo enabled him to render such varied and important services to his counlry. As he has over done in all the slationslliB has'filled, he discharged his duty with scrupulous fidelily, never omitting ou all "proper occasions any eilbrt to advance the in¬ terests of his constitnents .and thc conntry, and winning the respect aud confidence of all. At the close of his term of service he re¬ sumed the practice of his profession, whicii he pHisueil with distinguished reputation and success until, yielding to the public voice, he consented lo become a candidate, and was re¬ elected to Congress in the fall of 183q. The reinarks above made in relation to liis service in the 23d Congress will measurably a])ply to his second term. Jacksonism and the Pet Bank system.'had in the march of the 'pro¬ gressive Democracy,' given place to Van Burenism aud Ihe.Snb Treasury. It was but another step toward the \iracrKal repudiation nl old republicai, principles, and an advance to the Locoloooism nf the present day. In this Congress Mr. Fili.mop.f. look a more active j.art than lie did during his first lerm, and on the as.sembling of the ne.vt Congres.s, to whicll he was re-elected by a largely increased ma¬ jority, he was assigned a prominent place on what, ne.vt to that of Ways and Means, it was justly anticipated wonld become the most im¬ porlant commilteo of the House-that on elect¬ ions. It was m this Congress that the famous contested N. .lersey case came up It would swell this brief biographical sketcli to too great a length to enter upon the details of that case, and it is the less necessary to do so inas¬ much as the circumstances of the gross out- • rage then perpetrated by a party calling iiself iepublican,and claiming to respect Stato'r'HiLs must yet dwell in the recollection of every reader.
The prominent part which Mr. Fillmore took in that case, his patient investigation of »11 its complicated, minute details, the clear convincing manner in which he set forth the facts, the lofty and indignant eloquence with which he denounced the meditated wrong, all strongly direcled public attention to him as' one of the ablest itien of Ihat Congress, dis¬ tinguished as it was by the eminent ability and statesmanship of many of ils membera. —Public indignation was awakened by the enormity of the outrage, aud in that long cat- alogue of abuses and wrongs which roused a long suffering people to action, and*resolution in tlie signal overihrow of a corrupt and in¬ solent dynasty in 1840, the New Jersey case stood marked and conspiciious.
On the assembling ol the next Congress, to which Mr. Fillmore was re-elected by a ma¬ jority larger than was ever before given to his disirict, he was placed attheheadof the com¬ mittee on Ways and Means. The duties of that station, always arduous and responsible, were at that time peculiarly so. A new Ad¬ ministration had come into power aud found pnblic affairs iu a state of the greatest de¬ rangement. Accounts had been wrongly kept, peculation of every kind abounded in almost every department of the Government, the rev¬ enue was inadequate lo meet the ordinary e.v¬ penses, the already large existing debt vvas rapidly swelling in magnitude, commerce and inanufactures were depressed, the currency was deranged, banks we're embarrassed, and general distress peivaded Ihe community.— ¦To bring order outof disorder, to replenish the National Treasury, to provide means that would enable the ttoverument to meet the de- mands.against it, and to pay oil' the debl, to revive the industry of the country, and restore ils wonted prosperity, these were Ihe tasks devolved npon the committee of Ways and iMcaiis. To increa.se Iheir dimcullie.s, the minority, composed of that party that had brought the Counlry and Government into sueh a condition, instead of aiding lo repair the evil they had done, uniformly opposed almost eve¬ ry means bconght forward for relief, aud loo often Iheir unavailing efforts were successfully aided by a treacherous Executive. But with engergy and devotion lo the public weal worlhy of all admiration, Mi. Fillmore appli¬ ed himself to ihe ta,sk, suslained by a ma¬ jority whose eiilighlencil patriotism has rare¬ ly been equalled, and never surpassed, suc¬ ceeded in ils accomplishment.
The measures he bronght forward and sus¬ tained with matchless abijity,speedilj-relieved the Government from its embarrassment, and have fully inslilind the mnst sanguine expeeta tions of their benign iiifiuence upon their coun¬ try at large. A new and more accurate sys¬ tem of keeping accounis, rendering them clear and intelligible, was inlroduced. The favor¬ itism and pccnlalion which had so long dis¬ graced the departments and plundered the Treasury, were checked by tho requisition of contiacl.'i. The credit of the Government was restored, ample means were jjiovided for the exigencies of the pnblic service, and the payment ofthe National debt incurred by tho I'ormer administration. Commerce and Man ul'aclures revived, and prosperily and hope once more smiled upon the land. The Coun¬ try has too recently emerged from disasters of Mr. Van Buren's Administration.—it yet too keenly feels the suffering it then endnreil, and loo justly .ippreciaies Ihe beniliconland won¬ derful change that has been wrought lo ron der more than an allusion to those matters necessary—The labor nf devising, explaining and defending measures productive of sueh happy resulis was thrown chiefly on Mr. Fill- MORK. He was nobly sustained by his patri¬ otic fellow Whig.s; but on him, nevertheless, the main responsibility rested. . After his long and severe labors in the Com¬ mittee joom—labors sutficiently arduous to break «!own any but one of an iron constitution —suslained by a spirit that nothing could con¬ quer, he vvas required to give his unremitting' attention lo the business of the house, to make any explanation that might be asked and be ready with a complete and triumphant refu¬ tation of every cavil or objection that the in¬ genious sophistry of a factious minority could devise. All this, too, was required to be done with promptness, clearness, dignity and good temper. For the proper performance of va¬ ried duties, few raen are more happily quali¬ fied than Mr. Fillmore. At that fortunate age. when the physical and intellectual pow¬ ers are displayed in the highest perfection, aud Ihe hasty impulses of youlh wilhout any loss of ils vigor aie brought under control of large e.xperience in publicaffairs,-vvithamind capable of descending to minute details, as well as conceiving a grand system of national policy, calm and deliberate in juilgment, self- possessed and fluent iu debate, of dignified presence, never unmindful of the courtesies becoming social and public intercourse, and of poliiical integrity unimpeachable, he was admirably fitted for the post of leader of the 27th Congress.
In 1844 he was selected as the Whig can¬ didate for Governor in Nevv Vork, but in con¬ sequence of the Barnburners and Old Hunk¬ ers uniting their support upon Silas Wright, he failed to be elecled. Confident, however, that he could command the strongest vote in New York, the Whigs again selected iiim as their candidate for Com^plroller in 1847, and Eucceeded'in electing him by an unpreceden¬ ted majority.
Such was the boy, aud such is the man, whom the Whigs present as their candidate for the Vice Presidency. In every station in which he has been placed, he has shown him¬ self " honest, capable and true to'the consti¬ tution." He is emphatically one of the peo¬ ple. For ali that ho has and is, he is indebt¬ ed under God to his own e.vertions. Born to an inheritance of comparative poverty, and deprived of opporluniiies for improvemeni which now thanks to Whig policy are enjoyed by the humblest in the land, he struggled bravely wilh difiicullies that would hav'e ap¬ palled and crushed a less resolute heart. No¬ bly has he won his laurels, and long may he live to enjoy them.

A PEEP AT LOUIS PHILLIPPE.
DY NED BUNTLINE.
A countryraen-3one vvho had found his way down from a farm situated near the head waters ofthe Connecticut, stood by the railing of the Park Fountain, New York, with both hands elbow deep in histrowser'spock- et.s, looking at the magnificent jet of Croton, and wondering ' what ou airth could make it spurt up so s'prisin' like.'
' York is a golbuster of a town !' he mut¬ tered, ' there ain't nuffin like it in the spel¬ lin'book!''
' Have you seen ail the sights 1' asked a very nappily-dressed gentleman, who had sidled up close to him while he was speak¬ ing.
' Nan 1' replied onr friend Zedekiah;
' Havo you seen all the sights 1' repeated the genteely-dressed young man, loud enough to be heard above the spla.sh of the waters
' Wall, I reckon yes! Took Cousin Hul- der tew the Museum, and up tew see tlie Massaseep paintin', and the Mangery !'
' Then yon saw Ihe elephant ?'
' Ves—tvvo ou 'em, great nasty lookin' critters they was tew !'
'But you haven't seen Lonis Phillippe, yet, have you 1'
¦ Levvy Philip—who's he 1'
' VVhy the French King, that the people turned off the throne the other day !'
' Yes—when they made the revolution.— I hearn tell of him. I read 'bout il inthe paper.'
' Weli, he's in town !' ' Drew lell ! VVhy, Hulder would go crazy to sec a ¦real king. Where does he put up! Giminy cripsey, how I'd like tew see him!'
' If you are willing to pay for it I can ac¬ commodate you wilh a sighl! I'm his keep¬ er !'
'Pew tell!' said ZeJekiah, now taking a more respectful look at the gentleman.— ' Eut what does he have a keeper for '!'
' To take in llie change. He's very poor now, and has to be e.vhibiied fora living!'
'Why, yon don't say so? Wliat d'ye charge for a peep V
'Five dollars!'
'Five—five—what?'
' Five dollars! He's .-i king, you know, and can't be seen like common folks!'
' Well, that may make a diff'renee, biit by golly, it's a big figger tew cipher up!— Can't go it though I should like see the old 'uu jnst tew tell of when T get tew hn'm !'
' I'm very sorry that we can't break our positive rules; but you can go and look at him for that price, and have a talk with him, and then I'll let you bring \:ulyfree '¦'
' Where does he pnt up'!' asked Zedekiah.
' At the Astor, that great slone tavern across the street there !' replied the ' keeper,'
In silent contempt the Frenchman passed on. Zed couldn't stand it. He ' riled' iri a moment. With one bound be overtook the Frenchman, and, seizing him by the col¬ lar, 'spun him back into the center of the room.
' By gar—if you will have one fight you shall have heem!' cried the Frenchman, perfectly red with .fury, at the same time drawing a revolver from his pocket, and pre¬ senting it at Zedekiah's breast.
'Hallo! quits! don't shute!—murder- thunder!' yelled Zedslciah, dodging behind the door, just as the Frenchman snapped a cap at him. the pistol fortunately not going off.
In a moment the room was filled with people.
' What is the matter ?' cried the crowd.
' Zat Yankee has onsooU me—he assault mo !' cried the Frenchman.
'Jist liold on tew the img, he's mad— stark, stavin' mad! he's tryin' tew shute me against law and gospel!' cried Zed.
' What king V asked the crowd.
' Why.Lewy Philip, tew be sure ! Don't yon see him there ? I s'peCt you've all got in for nothin'!'
' lie—Louis Philippo ? Why, you're mis¬ taken. It is Monsieur Boutellier, a retired dancing master I'.said a gentleman who stood near.
' That be darned! I guess! know—ought lew, for I paid my five dollars tew see him —wonder where the keeper is ?'
'The keeper? You certainly have been duped!' said the gentleman! 'That person has uo keeper, nor has need of any. He is perfectly peaceable, and has made a fortune in teacliing dancing in the West. I know him very well!'
' Then he isn't Lewy Philippe?'
' No indeed. If we can credit the paper.s, kc is .still in England!'
' And this here Teller hain't got no keeper?'
'No!'
'Then by golly I've beensucked in!'said Zedekiah, with a very long face. 1 dew wonder what's become of that are keeper— he went tew gitmy change !' ¦ Zedekiah went to look for liim; bnt we much donbt that he ever fonnd him; and moreover wo 'reckon' that he'll not say much about his ' sight of Levvy Philippe,' .when he gets ' tew liuin !'—Uncle Sam.

A Wonderful Phenomenon.—A singular phenomenon was brouglit to light a week ago yesterday, in Ihe township of Grenufield,Mich- iffan, about eight miles from Detroit. The Messrs. Grangers, in boring to fiml" water to supply their saw mill, sunk a four inches hole to the depth of seventy feet, vvhen they struck a vein, or oavily. As they withdrew the au¬ ger from the hole, to their great surprise, it was followed by a violent cucrcnt of air, thai threw np stones as large as hen's eggs, ten or fifieen leet high.
For a lew moments, when the hole was first opened, the air was accompanied by a stream of vvaler, which vvds Ihrown ten or twelve feet high. The water, however, soon ceased coming, and tho air gushed out wilh
snch loree thai
he roar_ could be distinctly
heard iil'ly ni sixty rods distant. On touchiiii. riie 10 the air, ilcau!ihl,and the Hames flashed I twenty ieet high, and came near burning the building covering the machinery, near which it vvas locaied. . .
They finally sncccedeil with considerable diHicully in slopping it, by forcing down blan¬ kets, and driving a spile into the hole, which vvas their only means of stopping the air or eas, and extinguishing the liames. For sever¬ al moments after the hole was slopped Ihe earlh trembled and shook for some dislance around, a.s Ihough an eruption vvas about to lake place. The people, who by this time had gathered to the number of about a hun¬ dred, vvere greally alarmed at these symptoms, and scattered with all possible rapidity, sup¬ posing that Millerism vvas about coming to a focus, or that they were aboul lo be blown up sky high by an earthquake. From the time it wos opened till it was thus closed, was about six hourii, and the air gushed outall the time with unabated violence.
It has been opened several limes since with the same efl'ect. The powerand force of the air does not seem to diminish in the least. The Messrs. Grangers are proposing to secure it with apparatus so as 10 shut itoffandlet it out at leisure, and test its real qualities. The people in that vicinity are all confidenl now
pointing over to the Astor Iiouse
' Can't you take lew-fifty, and I'll not bring Hulder in ?' said Zedekiah, vvho hated to part with five dollars, much as he desired to see a king.
' Very sorry, but our riiSl'^are positive— couldn't take four dollars' and ninety-nine cents and two-thirds!' replied the 'keeper.' 'Wall, it is all-lired stravagant, but then a live'iing-ain't tew be seen every day, nor Sundays, nithet! I think I'll go it; have you got change for a ten dollar bill ?'
No, I haven't it with me; but I'll get it changed at the office while you're talking lo the king !' replied the ' keeper,' and taking Zedekiah's bill, he walked over to the Astor with him.
Walking in, he passed along the hall look¬ ing inlo the various parlors, vvhen he stopped before one where a grey headed, foreign,- lookiiig gentleman was seated, reading a newspaper.
' That's him—go right in and talk to hira, while I go' and get your change!' said the ' keeper,' pointing to the elderly gentleman. ' But mustn't I have an interduce ?' 'Oh, no! He's democratic now. You don't ueed an introduction. Go right up to him!'
The ' keeper' hurried away now to got the bill chaii'^ed, and'Zedekiah walked into the parlor.
'How de dew !' said he, as lie drew a chair and seated himself .before the old gen¬ tleman.
' Ver well, sare, tank you, sare!' said the latter, raising his eyes from his paper, and elevating his eyebrows with surprise at being spoken to by a stranger.
' VVhen did you git tew teown ?' continu¬ ed Zedekiah, remembering at the rnoment that his hat vvas on, aiulv-KFi^'/mg himself instantly.
The Frenchman elevated his 'brows still more, bnt his politeness conquered his sur¬ prise.
' Von week an', tree days more !' he re¬ plied.
' Seying and three are ten—ten days, eh?' continued Zedekiah.
'Yes, sare, tank you !' replied the French genlleman-
' Hovv did you leave the folks tew hum on tother side o'the water?' continued Zed.
'Ozzar side ze watare, sare? .1 no onner- slaiid ! I have not been oii ze watare!'
' Oh, you needn't tell me that; I know who yuu be. You had pnrty warni \york, didn't you, mighty close shave ih gittiu' oil", eh ?'
'Sare, do you tak me for one barbare?' cried the'Freiichmau,angrily crushing up the newspaper in his bauds, and rising from his seat.
' ' Neow don't go to lew gettin' rily ! Your keeper '11 be back in a minnit. ' I didn't call you a barber!'
My keepare, sar !' shouted the French¬ man, ' What shall you mean by gar! I'ave no keepare—I am able to keep myself, sar !' ' Oh, neow don't go tew gettin' crusty. 1 have paid my price to- see you ; and you onght tew be decent!'
' Sare, I see you mean to onsoolt me. By gar you are one small dog—orie popee !
'Neow lookee here,.ohl fellor, yon jest hush up!' said Zedekiah, ' I didn't pay my money tew be called hard names; and 1 don't keer if you are Levvy Philip, or Queen Viclori/, or any bod/ else that's big,. I'm Zedekiah Jones and I don't keer a cent!'
The Frenchman, seeing that not much was to be made out of Zedekiah, turned to leave tho room, 'but Zed had paid his five,
