THE COMMONWEALTH, ICTTlie subjoined letter from Millard Fillmore, in reply to an invitation to be present at the re- cent Uniou Meeting at tbe Academy of Music in New York City, is worthy of consideration: Letter from Fillmore. Buffalo, Dec. 1G, 1869. Gentlemen: Your letter of the 13th, reached me yesterday, inclosing a call for a public meet ing in New York City, headed 'The A'orli and the South Justice and and inviting me to be present on tbe occasion As no time is specified, I hastened to respond by saying that the objects of the meetiug have my most hearty approval, but I have long eiuce withdrawn Irom any participation in politics oe yond that of giving my vote for those whom I deem the best and safest men to govern the country; and I have uniformly, since I was at the head of the government, declined all invita tions to attctid political meetings; yet, in view of tne present stormy aspect una tureaieinng leu dency of public events, did 1 lei-- that my prea ence at your meeting could, in the least, teiid to allay the growiD? jealousy between the North anu tne south, 1 snouw, at some personal in- convenience, acceot vour invitation, and cordi ally join you in admonishing tbe country, North and South, to mutual forbearance toward each other, and to cease crimination and recrimina tion on both sides, and endeavor to restore again that fraternal feeling and confidence which have made us a ereat and happy people. But it seems to me that if my opinions are of any importance to my countrymen, they now have ihem in a much more responsible and sat isfactory form than 1 could give them by partic ipating lu the proceedings ol any meetmg My sentiments on this unfortunate question of sla very, and the constitutional rights of the South in regard to it, have not changed since they were made manifest to the whole country by tbe per formance of a painful duty in approving and en- - lorcing the fugitive slave Law. What the Constitution gives I would concede at every sac rifice. I would not seek to enjoy its benefits without sharing its burthens and its responsibil- ities. I know of no other rule of political right or expediency. Those were my sentiments then they are my sentiments now. 1 stand by the Constitution of my country at every hazard, and um prepared to maintain it at every sacrifice. Here, I might stop; but since I have yielded to the impulse to write, 1 will not hesitate to express, very briefly, my views on one or two events which have occurred since 1 retired from oflice, and which, in all probability, have given rise to vour meeting. This 1 can not do intelli gibly,without a brief reference to some events which occurred during my administration. All must remember that in 1849 and 185U the country was severely agitated on this disturbing question of slavery. That contest grew out of the acquisition of new territory from Mexico, and a contest between the North and the South as to whether Slavery should be tolerated in any part of that Territory. Mixed up with this, was a claim on the part of the slaveholdiug States, that the provision of the Constitution for the rendition of fugitives from service should be made available, as the law of 1793, ou that sub ject, which depended chiefly on State officers for its execution, bad become inoperative, be cause State officers were not obliged to perform that duty. After a severe struggle, which threatened the integrity of the Union, Congress finally passed laws settling these questions; and the Govern- ment and the people for a time seemed to acqui- esce in that compromise as a final settlement of this exciting question; and it is exceedingly to be regretted that mistaken ambition or the hope of promoting a party triumph should have tempted any one to raise this question again. Butinancvil hour this Pandora's box of Sla very was again opened by what I conceive to be an unjustifiable attempt to force slavery into Kan sas by a repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the Hoods of evils now swelling and threatening to overthrow the Constitution, and sweep away tbe foundation ol the Government itself, and deluge this land with fraternal blood, may all be traced to this unfortunate act. Whatever might have been the motive, few acts have ver been so barren of good, and so fruitful of evil. The contest has exasperated the public mind, North and South, and engendered feelings of distrust, and, I may say, hate, that I fear it will lake years to wear away. The lamentable trag- edy at Harper's Ferry is clearly traceable to this unfortunate controversy about Slavery in Kan- sas, and while the chief actor in this criminal invasion has exhibited some traits of character that challenge our admiration, yet his fanatical xeal seems to have blinded his moral perceptions, and hurried him into an unlawful attack upon the lives of a peaceful and unoffending commu- nity in a sister State, with the evident intention of raising a servile insurrection, which no one can contemplate without horror; and few, I be- lieve very few, can be found, so indifferent to the consequences of his acts, or so blinded by fanali cal zeal, as not to believe that he justly suf- fered the penalty of the law which he had violated. I can not but hope that the fate of John Brown and his associates, will deter all others from any unlawful attempt to interfere in the domes- tic affairs of a sister State. But this tragedy has now closed, and Virginia has vindicated the supremacy of her laws, and shown that she is quite competent to manage her own affairs, and protect her own rights. And thanks to an Over- ruling Providence, this question about Slavery in Kansas is now also settled, and settled in favor of freedom. The North has triumphed, and having triumphed, let her, by her magna- nimity andjgeuerosity to her Southern brethren, show that the contest on his part was one of principle, and not of personal hatred, or the low ambition of a sectional triumph. Finally, aif I had the power to speak, and there were any disposed to listen to my coun- sel, I would say to my brethren of the South: Be not alarmed, for there are few, very few, at tbe North who would justify in manner an at- tack upon the institutions of the South which are guarantied by the Consiitution. We are all iu sentiment, but we know that we have nothing to do with it in the several States, and we do not intend to interfere with it. And I would say to my brethren of the North, re spect the rights of the South; assure them by vour acts that you regard them as friends and brethren. And I would conjure all, in tbe name of all that is sacred, to let this agitation cease with the causes which have produced it. Let har- mony be restored between the North and the South, and let every patriot rally around our national Hag, and swear upon the altar of his country to sustain and defend it. I am, with great respect, Your obedient servant, MILLARD FILLMORE. Messrs. Samuel L. M. Barlow, Wilson G. Hunt, and James Brooks, Committee, &,c. Heavy Sale.

House or Representatives, i Washington, City Dec. 12, 1859. Gentlemen: Your favor of the 8th inst., pro- posing to me two interrogatories, requesting my opinion on the political topics embraced by them, reached me yesterday. I have not been, and auj not, caudidate for the Senate. Indeed, the election is over; yet I yield with pleasure a frank response to your inquiries. A ready compliance in this respect is due not less to you than the confiding and gener ous constituency whose representative I am, and whose loyal orthodoxy, not less than my own, upon vital questions of present public interest, might be subjected to an uujust suspicion by mv silence. To your first question, I reply, that 1 cor dially indorse and have always firmly defended, in its length and breadth, the Dred Scott decision. In my humble judgment, it is a faithful expo- sition of the Constitution, and a ready obedi- ence to its requisitions is demanded by the highust patriotism iu every section of the con- federacy. To your second inquiry, I reply, that I hav always maintained that our public domain was the common property of all the States that the States are sovereign and coequal, and as such adopted the Federal Constitution; that the object of all constitutions is to protect, and not to destroy lights of property an opinion which I maintained in the Kentucky Constitu- tional Convention, and which I still entertain. 1 regard African slaves as occupying the slava States with other property, as being so recog- nized by the Federal Constitution, and equally entitled with every other species of property to its protection I maintain that Congress holds the Territories ill trut for the enjoyment of the people of all the States who choose to emigrate thereto, with all property owned by them. I ut terly deny the authority of Congress aud a for- tiori that of its mere creature, a Territorial Leg- islature in any way, or by any mode of un- friendly legislation, to limit or abridge the ten- ure of any species of property carried by the emigrant to auy territory belonging to the Uni ted States I think all Congressional acts for the or- ganization of future Territorial Governments should contain a guarantee for the protection of life, liberty, and property. As to existing Con 'gressvnal organizations, I am of the opinion that all settlers therein have now existing legal rem- edies lor tho protection of every species of property. Should it hereafter be judicially as- certained that the constitutional rights of pro- tection to any species of property in the territo- rial domain is ineffectual for want of adequate legal remedies, or in consequence of the action of the Territorial Legislatures, I should regard myself, were I a member of either House of Congress, as disloyal to my oath of office, were I to .hesitate to use all lawful means for the pas sage of propur statutes to render elective every constitutional guarantee of protection to every species of property in any aud every quarter of this Confederacy. Until it is so judicially decided that our pi es ent remedies are ineffectual, I am for keeping the question of slavery out of Congress. 1 re gard such a course as the surest means of pre- serving the Union. It has been the ark of our political salvation iu the past, and I am for clinging to and upholding it until the honor and rights of the slave holding States compel us to abandon it. May God grant that such an hour will never dawn upon the Republic. With highest respect. Your obedient servant, J. W. STEVENSON. To Ben. P. Cissell, Henry M. Rust, Hiram McElrey, Wm. B.

Opposition Meeting in Woodford. At a meeting of the Opposition party of Wood ford county, held at the Court House, iu the town ol Versailles, on Saturday, the 1 (to inst Col. Louis A. Berry was called to the chair, aud Col. Willis F. Jones, was appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting having been ex- plained by the Chairman, Messrs. J. K. Goodloe, Henry C. McCloed, Judge Steele, William L Graddy and Swift Darneal, were appointed a committee to dralt resoluiions expressive of the sentiment of the meetiug; the committee having retired for a short time, returned and reported the following resolutions, which were unanimous- ly adopted, to wit: Resolved, That we are now as devotedly attach- ed to the Uuion and its constitution as we were in happier and less troublous times, aud that the dangers which seemed to menace them only, have the effect to more thoroughly arouse our energies for their preservation and perpetuity. Resolved, That we are in favor of, and desire a union and of all the conservatives, North and South, who are in favor of the resto- ration ot the government to its former purity; and the subjection of all patriots that have other than the preservation of the Union and its institutions at heart Resolved, That it is tho duty of every true and good man, to rebuke the spirit of sectionalism and unfriendliness to the Union, which have been manifested by a few disloyal men both North aud South, aud of the conservativ masses of country everywhere, to set the seal of their con demnation upon it, by a signal repudiation of the hostile agitation wherever it exists, and the unworthy agitators, whoever they may be. Resolved, That we do not regard the late mad attempt of an insignificant number of crazy fa- natics uuder the lead of John Brown, upon Ham- per's Ferry, as at all indicative ol the feelings of the Northern towards the Southern States of this Uuion. But we fiod with profound pleasure, iu the conservative meetings and resolutions em auating from them, which have been held iu va- rious parts of the North, since that unhappy aud deeply regretted affair, the truer and more reli able expression of its feelings toward us, our rights and our peace. Resolved, That the political circumstances which surround us, make us fearfully aware of the necessity which now exists of placing at the head of affairs, men who have proved them- selves wiae, patriotic, conservative and brave, and we deplore that policy, which has so oiten elevated to the highest posts of responsibility, partisans, who have uo higher claims to such honors, than that of having implicitly and blindly obeyed the behests of party. If we would preserve our iutegrity, our honor and our Union, we must promote to office only such in- dividuals as have shown that they possess a courage so calm as not to be overwhelmed by mere party clamors an integrity so incorrupti- ble as not to be overcome by the charms of hold ing oflice and dispensing patronage, and a heart so loyal to the Union as to resolutely aud stem ly forbid any traffic in its glories, its memories aud its blessings. Resolved, That in our distinguished fellow-citize- and , the Hon. John J. Crittenden, we recognize a statesman eminently wise, patriotic, conservative and brave, and it is with inexpressible pleasure that we point to him as one who has never disappointed tho expecta tions nor abused the confidence of his friends We have trusted him with our rights and our hou-or- , and such is our confidence iu him, inspired by his past fidelity, that we would, in these most ini portaut and serious times, gladly and confidently commit to his charge the high responsibilities of our National Government. Resolved, That the proposition to hold a Con vention at Frankfort, on the 22d of February, 1860, meets our entire approval, and that the following persons bo appointed delegates, Judge Steele, J. K. Goodloe, Louis A. Berrv, J. D. Helm, Wm. L. Buford, Geo. T. Cotton, Henry C. McCleod, Jos H. Hickman, Randolph Railey, Willis F. Jones, John Stout, J. W. Wm. A. Cotton, Zeb Ward, H. H. Kergu sou, J.

AS an indication of the popularity of the LFDGKR, we nood oiilyslate the simple fact that iti circulation is larger than that of any other TKN literary papers in the country. The great success is owing to the fact that its proprietor secures the best writers in the country, and spares no expense in getting up tne BKhT FAMILY" FA-tE- a paperof hifth moral tone. The exalted reputa- tion of Us contributors; the practical and invariably pure and healthy character of all its aiticles; the care which is taken that not even oneoifnsivo word shall ap- pear in its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and sketches have gained lor the NEW VuKK LKUGKK a position that no literary paper has ever before reached. We feel, and always have fell, si nee the LKUfiKH attain- ed its immense circulation, that a heavy responsibility rests upon us, and have endeavored to discharge that re- sponsibility conscientiously, feeling coiitldoui that ulti- mately we should receive the thanks of thousands aud lens of thousands of families.

HOSTETTER'S The proprietors and manufacturers of HOS- TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to physicians aud citizens generally of the United States, because the article has attained arepu tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Bit- ters for the last year amounted to over a halt-milli- bottles, and from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is evident that during tho coming year the consumption will roacii near one million bot tics. This immense amount could never have been sold but for the rar medicinal properties contained iu the prepara- tion, and the sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, who not only recommend the Bitters to their patients, bul are ready at all times to give testimonials, to its efficacy iu nil cases of stomachic derangements and the diseases resulting therefrotn. This is not a temporary popularity, obtained by extraordinary eff orts in the way of trum- peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which i destined to be as enduring as time itself. Hostetters Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other bilious complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To be able to state coufi'leutly that the "Bitters" are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un- alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter from the stomach, purifies tho blood, and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system, giving it that tone and energy indispensable for the restoration of health, lt cpeiates upon the stomach, liver, aud other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, aud soon restores then, to acondition essential to tiie healthy discharge of the functions of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per directions on the bottle, and they will tied in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted tc comfort declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvenating generally. We have the evi- dence of thousands of aged men and women who have experienced the benefit of using this preparation while suffering from stomach de- rangements and general debility ; acting under the advice of physicians, they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the merits of this article. A few words to the gentler sex. There are certain periods when their cares are so harassing that many of them sink under the trial. The relation of mothe. and child is so absorbingly tendor, that the mother, especially if she be young, is apt to forget her own health in her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive during the summer season, the wear oi body and mind is generally aggravated Here, then, is a necessity for a stimulunt to recupe- rate the energies of the system, and enable the mother to bear up under her exhausting trials and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene- rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora tors that receive the endorsement of physi- cians, because it is agreeable to the taste as well as certain to give a permanent increasa of bodily strength. All those persons, to whom we have particu larly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or derangements of the stomach, superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nur'siug mothers, will consult their own physical welfare by giving to Ho tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial. CAUTION. We caution the public against using any of the many imitations or counter- feits, but ask for Hostetter's Cf.ledratkd Stomach Bitteks, and see that each bottle has the words " Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork, and observe that our autograph signature is on the label.
