ir.L who fell in a duel with ft Edward Magrath, on Monday afternoon last. The difficulty originated from! tho publication of communications in the Mercury, in reference to the Hon. A. G. Magrath, a candidate for Congress from the Charleston District.

The name of the author of the communication? was not demanded, but a peremptory challenge was sent and accepted, and, at the third fire, Mr. Taoer fell, the ball taking effect in his head. The weapons were pistols, and the distance ten paces. The surviving editor of the Mercury thus speaks of his late associate: "In the presence of death, the death of one who has be en intimately associated with us for years, and who breath. 1 as true a heart as ever beat on the so 1 of Carolina, vre bow our heads in or row and in stiff, ring, and pass by all consideration of party conflict, in the sense that we have lost a fiieid, true and tried, and a brother in the hard duties that make up our connection with the pub'ic life.

In the Autumn of 1821 Mr. Fillmore removed to Erie and the next Spring entered a law office in Buffalo, maintaining himself by teaching whi pursuin- hi legal studie After ri-Ccul than in hia 1 Kam i year passed there, in this laborious manner, he 'was admitted to the Court of Common Fleas in lb-13, and immediately opened an office in the; village of Aurora, where-he devoted himself to the practice of Hie T-rrkf-Mscinn i i ne resiuea ai tnis vniace aoout seven years, ine rules of the courts at that day required three years of professional study for admission into the county courts, and if the candidate was without a collegi ate degree, as jwas his case, of seven years before a aT r- Uf aU IXLAOol ft I 111 VVF: UltlWti VVUIIO Vl IliU MUIV. Fillmore practice was, therefore, confined to the lower courts for four years after his license as an at- torney, and off course was limited. But the ability and fidelity which he displayed as a lawyer, soon established his professional reputation. He continued rise steadily, and before long enlisted tho favorable regard of the elder members of the bar.

An advantageous connexion being offered by one of that class, he was induced to remove to Buffalo in 1830. In 1826 he was married to Miss Abigail Powers an acquaintance of hi youth the daughter of a highly respectable Baptist clergyman, who died, when she was a child, in Saratoga county, where she was born. Soon after the death of the father, her widowed mother, emigrated with her daughter to SemproniusL where Miss! Powers remained until her marriage. Mrs. Fillmore was a lady of gnat moral worth, 0f modest and unobtrusive deport ment, and remarkable intelligence and good snse." Che limited advantages fbrjeducation then existing ii that new country, were so industriously improved by her, that at womanhood her acquirement were esteemed among the first in the comm-mitr.

These are the iree Slate vote she can get. Now, let um look at the s'avt Delaware, Kentucky and Tennessee nre as morally certain to vote lor Mr. Fillmores any thing not reduced to an actuality can be. Louisiana and Florida, we think, will als eo for him. Give Mr.

Bt chanan, then, the remainder, (for argument's sake,) Viz Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oreor- gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Missouri and Ar-c V-naii Arfirfnh vote will be 76. Add his 76 slave I thd his 81 free State votes together and his grand total is 107 electoral votes, or 42 less than is neces- i a. K.m I -mcimnA nnrl an fl fttill he. cnuld not be elected. Throw in'New Jersey, and still he would not have votes enough to elect him.

Let the. reader look at this calculation calmly for himself. If Mr. Buchanan should receive the electoral votes of Pennsylvania, N. Jer- 8ey, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, A kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Texas and (and there is no earthly prospect that he will carry them) still he would fail of an election.

I What sof of a chance, then, before the people, does he stand None at all, and his friends know itl: And as to his chances in the House, should the election go there, we all know that they are not to be seriously considered. If Mn Buchanan, then, according to thiashow-ing, cannot be elected, what is the duty of patriots in this Crisis? I it not to unite on Fillmore The vote of Fremont in the -North and North- West will astonish the country. To satisfy your self of this fact, go North. You will fiffd a univer- sal and an intense excitement an excitement per vading all classes, all communities. It is literally tbe North against the South, a determined, irate, reventreful ontosition.

The Brooks and Sumner af. fair alono has piled up thousands upon thousands of votes for Fremont. Republicanism has swallowed up Democracy, Whiggery and Americanism, and rallies its hosts under the cry of 'freedom against slavery. 'There is danger that this tnadnes may succeed, and that Fremont may be elected. It is positively certain that he would be elected if Mr.

Fillmore was out of the way. He-can alone prevent the triumph of this "Northern candidate, tie is the breakwate to at rest this surging tide of fanaticism. If the South will but unitedly by Fillmore, he can be easily elected. But if the South votes as one man for Buchanan, it will not elect him, Buchanan. the reason for this is obvious 'the former car.
