Letter from Mr, FiUmore to Henry Clay.

The DevlL

BY F. J. WALDO.

Wo find iii the "Private Corrcspon* denco of Henry Clay*’ a letter from Millard Fillmore, written shortly after the defeat of Mr. Clay in DJ44, which possesses nmch interest at the present time, os showing that Mr. Fillmore long since recognized the evils of "foreign influence” in our .elections. There are two ’ causes which mainly contributed to the untoward , result of that election. 0'uo was the for-eign-vote, which was courted and obtained by the Democracy, and by which Pennsplvauia was carried. The other was the abolition vote, which was givea tp Bir* ney—and thus actually thrown.away.— Had this vote in Ne*v York been given to Clay it would have tarried the State and secured his election. When it is remembered that the annexation of Texas was the leading issue iu that election, the extreme folly of the abolitionists in thus ihdircctly contributiufi to the election of Polk will be fully appreciated;

At the risk of being denounced as a heretic, we must . flatly avow our honest unbelief of individual, Devil ism.} The hideous hobgoblin .ol picture-hooKs, with his horns, hoofs and tail, is but the foul phantom of some diabolical imagination, h is high time soclj a mosnslronfe myth should bo exploded. • The orthodoxy may shudder at this andihilation. of pueof their principal diviiitie*—at this bits* phemoui'blow', aimed by a secultr'hand, at one of the very'pillars.of faith, but we cannot help it. It is quihr time that "Hb Satanic Majesty" (whafa con* tradiction of terras!) should t« roasted in his own fiie, and butted in his own brim* stone. *

MILLARD FILLMORE TO UR. : CUV.

[Wfilt.-U n.rCi i H-Vc/tli. IOWA AS IT IS.

Buffalo, Nov. 14, 1844. ' i My Dear Sir: I have thought for three or four days that I would write you, but really l am unmanned. I have no courage or resolution., All is gone. The last hope, which hung first upon the city of New Yoik an.l then upon is finally' dissipate !, amt I see nothing but despair depicted on every countenance. For myself I have no regrets'. I was nominated much-against, my will, and (hough not insensible to the pride of. success, yet I feel a kind of relief at being defeated. But not so‘for you or the nation. Every consideration of justice, every feeling of gratitude conspired in the minds of honest men to insure ybur clec i tion;and though always dqubiffil of my mi-ii success, 1 could never doubt yours, till the painful conviction was forced upon me. • . , . : ;

Tbo doctrine of tbo Devil—the pope* Jar belief in a personal And ,almon oranimotout Bugaboo, who goes about enticing men to debirnciion, ami frjgblcaing children into fits, is one of llto moat debasing dogmas that ever insulted the reason of hum or clouded with doubts the glory of God. To show the utter absur* ‘ dity of i)ie creed, tl is oufy necessary to reduce the vogue and puerile notion to a simple statement: God, who is self existent, created all things,'- Among the rest he created a Dayil, with whom, according to the traditions.'of tbo poets and the elders, he had a terrible fight. In the end, the Devil was conqnred, but not destroyed. After the conflict, the victor ascended to a in rone of Light and the vanquished descended to a throne of Darkness. And hence these .awful rival powers are represented, the one as luring human Souls to - Heaven—the other as 10 ring them to Hell! To an intelligent, logical mind, it' is only necessary to submit the myth m plain language,.in order to banish his exploded Devilship, with his tail and pitchfork, to .the limbo of oblivion, among the. obsolete owls and bats of the dark and diabolical ages. We trust bur readers are quite so ossified in their orthodoxy, akfo take offence at being thus rulhlesrij/deprived of-.the ''refreshing doctrine 1 ’, afforded by , the antiquated dogma of individual D(Vilisra. We are always sorry to disturb the foundation of any man’s-consoling; faith; and regret, even .more, to deprive the devoted imagination of one, of its most cherished acquaintances. Bint the night.of superstition is past; Tba.raomiag cock, has crowed. The Devil must vanish with the.wholo hotgoblin brood, -—Aw York Mirror, ± j ' , ;

Manoli had set about his task with enthusiasm. There were day gangs and night gangs; so that the walla’ - rose as if by magic. ■ Already the topmost pinnacle began to appear to the distant traveler over the surrounding t recs, when s uddcnly the 1 cd ifice 1 sunk into the earth, and was spread upon' it iu ruin. : Manoli attributed this disaster to soma defect in his plan, or in thu too great haste with which it was carried out; and began.again with more caution. Unt no sooner had the bnihling.reached the former el. vat ion, than down it came again, Not one stone remained upon another. Manoli had confidence in bis own latent, and was therefore convinced that! some invisible power was determined to cross his purposes. He would havo been j inclined to give up the work altogether,! but Kiagoe became furious. As usual in j building enterprises, the expenses of thej first construction exceeds the estimate by j at least half. To effect the second, the prince was obliged to sell the diamonds-of his wife. Ilia vow was costing him dear; but he dared uot break it. The simple course was to swear oy his beard that Manoli should be decapitated, and all Ins workmen hanged, if the church was not finished by a certain time. : '

Shortly afterwards, the church was finished, and th« country round came to shower praise on the architect. ‘But some say’ envy, and some say injured affection, was on, thu; watch. The most probable story is that the father of Uca; a masterworkman, silently, excited- his comrades against Mnnuli..’, One day he had ascended to (he highest tower to see that all was right, they drew a way, the ladder, and "called tin him tauntingly to come down it he could, v -The unhappy man shrieked nloin),’ endeavoring to justify himself. Uoiihad obeyed - the order of [ Heaven, given through the anchorite of the cell. They replied That the anchorite had died two days before hi< last visit, and that - 1ie had hccii deluded by it (Ii’inl hi human shape. His despair then became overwhelming. But love, of life is strong. He was.agrcat mechanician, mill endeavored they say, to fauricalea a pair of wings, by which- hoTnightyfly down. from the immense height. ’ He ilsrcd not implore the succor of Heaven, ami ho leaped with road courage. Down he came. The wings, shattered by the first shock, beat uselessly round, hinv dn ring that lerible dive. He'was seen to descend like hu arrow; and they say the earth opened like’water to receive him, and closed. sgain over his head. ’ The legend averts that ever since, at the hour of midnight, , a plaintive womau’s voice ; is always heard murmuring through the church. Imploring Manoli to release her and her child.

Ue had scarcely concluded when a huge dog rushed oiu from a thicket, overturned tho basket of provisions which Uca was bringing for her husband, and forced her to go back to prepare a new meat. Manoli rejoiced, and continued to look towards the silent and motionless east.— Suddenly the form of a woman again appeared. He strained bis eyes beneath his broad bard hand, leaning forward, so that ho nearly toppled over, and to bis dismay saw that it was Uca again. The good housewife had returned to her homo, had replenished her basket, and was not walking, but running, lest her husband might suffer by tho delay. Manoli resorted to prayer once more; although ho'believed it was almost impious thus to strive with late. This time a guiant wolf stalked forth from beneath tho trees, and Uca again fied back to her dwelling.
