DEATH OF FILLMORE.
Ex-Frei(lcnt Millard Fillmore died
in Buffalo, X. Y., last Monday morn
ing, of paralysiij. This is a fcliock to
the lnle countrv, for there were few
Ix'tter. purer men than he. He was
thirteenth President of the United j
States. He was lorn in Cayuga coun
ty, New York, January 7, 1SO0; com
menced" the study of the law in 1819,
nnipracticed the profession with suc-
eess until 1837,-when he was elected !
Comptroller of the State. He went i
to Congress in 1832, and was a member j

Vice President, with Gen. Taylor as
President The death of Geu. Taylor
made Mr. Fillmore President of the
United States on the 10th of July,
1849. Ilia administration was charac- j
teriied by wislom, prudence and con- j
ervatism. He retired from the Presi-
leucy the 4th of March, 1803, with no
taint attached to his name and no stain
to disfigure his reputation. In manli
ness of form, says the Memphis Appeal,
in well-proportioned stature, limbs and
bulk, in fine frontal development, in
intelligent ami lcncvolent phyMogno
my, and iu ca.-e, grace and kindliness
f manner, Mr. Fillmore was a perfect
model. Goodness and amiabilitysecin
ed to pervade his heart and emanate
from his countenance, r.nd they cer
tainly found utterance ia the gentle
tones of his musical voice. He was
an honest politician and statesman,
high alwve trickery, intrigue and dc
Tption, always acting with a single eye
ami a single heart to his country's good,
lie was a good man; jut while he was
generous. He was ambitious without
wlfi-hness, consistent without olh-tinacy,
dignified without haughtiness, and ge
nial in his ltoaiing to all, without la
miliaritv to anv. The people of the !
Soiitheni States will hear with honest
sorrow of Mr. Fillmore's death. How
ever many may have differed with him
in jtolitics, all must agree that as Pres
ident of the United Suites Mr. Fillmore
was the earnest, unyielding and con
sistent friend of thc South; that he
condemned the war that was made up
on her constitutional right, and that
Mnce the war he has done everything
in his power to alleviate her troubles
and mitigate her suffering.

of monomania, and the persistence!
with which .-he secured the confidence
of her followers is remarkable. In
structions direct from the Iord ure
sujijHwed to coins through her by
means of visions, w hieh, if we nre to
judge, arc exceedingly mundane in
the ir nature. For instance, if an ad
vent mother has a son in any way dis
tasteful to thc church, that mother re
ceives instructions to send him from
her houe, and he is invariably sent.
If a daughter desires to wed, the pro
j.het is eoiiMilted; but, if thc occasion
is MipjioMil to entail any burden upon
the church, her desires are made second
to Iter datie to the church. Thin re
ligion tranquillity is evoked where
worldly indiscretion might prevail.
Smic years since an extensive foun
dation for one of the largest medical
institutes of the state was laid, near
the present one. The building to le
was the pride of all, both in ami out of
the church. When a portion of the
briek wall had been laid, work ceased,
nnd ere loug the imagined strue-ture
grew less, the foundation was torn up,
and to-day the spot forms a portion of
the yard of the old institute. Should
it be said that a single vl-ion did all
thW From that time murmuring
among the church have been heard,
and though suspicions of the fallacies of
the-e visions have been bred, they are
by some still as well regarded as ever.
A vision bearing upon this point was
invoked. This is called the "Third
Angel's Message," and directly com
mands nil "niurmurings against the
church to cease, in deference to those
who bear the special burdens and afflic
tions in the church.'' These ytiocs,
which occur at the most convenient in
tervals of tho church difficulties, have
all lieen printed, and from them the daily
codes of life are educetl. To attempt
a description of the prophetess, her per
sonal appearance and dejiortment, we
would le tempted to resort to the ludic
rous in order to cynvey the first im
pression one would have of her.
She is a small person, walks in a

husband, who is the rriiuiml mule
leader of the sect, with his wife's a.-- J
sistance. Bv means of the faith ilac-
od in Mrs. "White, the vast property
which v.e have descrill has m.wtlv
Ikmmi accumulated, Whether from
faith or duplicity, wealthy jieoplo
have lieen induced to move to Battle
Creek, whsoe riches are soon eked out
in support of the church. When all
yojHTty is gone, a message from the
lyord induces the brother to move to
other parts, which is only to make
room for the new comer in their imdft.
Thus there is a continual change of ele
ment, and thus. too. the danger of ma-
tiuous charges against the s.iints are
precluded. For when a brother, no
j matter how important hw Mtion, be-;
i iuin'. nunvrMini tuii ine working oi
the church, he invariably yields h'is
place to another. An unbroken faith
and deference, however, is accorded
Mr. and Mrs. White, whose positions
in the church ore alone permanent.
At the world's conference, held iu
Battle Creek recently, a committee to
npiinted to induce "proper persons"
to c mc to that city, as we have descril
ed. Men of more than ordinary talent
accept the proffered terms (probably
with or without conscientious motives),
but seldom are ther allowed to remain
longer than property will jermif. At
I each conference lauding resolutions j-f
j the genuineness of Mrs. White's visions
are passed, and thus is bolstered up
what may readiiy be deemed a most

....u..
In their worldly dealings they are
invamMv honest nut very clo-e.
Their reh'iriom schemes seem to be a
growth of ordinary human hyjocrisy, j
from which larger denominations are i
not always exempt. There is no free- I
d .in in the church; all is arbitrary and !
j exacting; and though there may 1 ;
enough sincere followers of Mr-. White
to comprise a creiiiiao.c reugious spci,
