Mr. Fillmore.
The Republic of this morning says: The Union has repeatedly intimated and even averred that Mr. Fillmore is indifferent to the success of the Whig candidate at the approaching Presidential election. These suggestions are made in the hope of alienating the friends of the President from the support of Gen. Scott. By continual and uncontradicted repetition this story may begin to be believed even by those who invent and circulate it.
We take this occasion, therefore, to say that no man in the country is more earnestly and ardently desirous of the triumph of the Whigs and the Whig candidates, at the approaching election, than Mr. Fillmore. His ambition has been abundantly satisfied by the success of his policy of peace, and its approval by the conventions of both political parties. Beyond this, no new honors could add to the pleasant recollections of opportunities conscientiously employed to preserve the peace and augment the prosperity of his country.
