L/ My dear Sir: Your note of yesterday came to band this morning, and 1 hasten to do justice to a political opponent who is now in his i~ \ grave. You say it was stated in your presence \ that President Polk wa.i heartless and cold, and that one of his coldest acts was, when he va' eated the White House several days before the President-elect came to Washington for fear r o of opening his heart, so as to ask him to his house and table. It is due to Mr. Polk, to say that I know this to be untrue. General Taylpy and myself were both invited to dine with aim before he left the White House, and 1 have no doubt all the eivilitcsordinarily extended to the-incoming administration were extended by President Polk to Gen. Taylor, and acg . ebbing to my recollection, he did not leave Ac White llonse, till the 4th, or rather, the 5th of March, which was Monday. The confusion incident to the close of a session of t Congress, and the breaking up of housekeepfnrr l?v the President's familv. must necessarily [_ yprevent any President from doing more than Mr J* Polk did in the case of Gen. Taylor, and if I f am rightly informed, many of his predecessors t did not do as much. I am respectifully, yours, MlLI.ARD FlLLMORK. ' From Havana.

For about sixteen years, d up to his death, he held an important position as' officer in the Bank of Camden, discharging his dus with fidelity and courtcousue-s to all who camo thin the sphere of his vocation.

The excitement still continues about the probable appointment of Mr. Di.v, of N. Y., particularly among the Southern men. Pennsylvania has become miffed, because Mr. Buchanan has not been tendered an appointment. Ohio is "knocking at the door" and demanding a seat, juicl" Virginia has turned a cold shoukler upon her son, the talented Hunter, because he refuses to accept. Mississippi and South Carolina have both been tendered seats, but the last has "bogged to be excused," and it is very uncertain that the former will attend to the call or not. Tennessee has been placed on the list, but her card " has not been sent us yet.
