You may be assured however, that it would be done under no circumstance but from necessity and with great regret."

Charles Hudson (1795-1881) was a Massachusetts politician, minister, and abolitionist who served multiple terms in Congress before his appointment as Naval Officer in the Boston Customs House, the post referenced in this letter. As a moderate Whig, preservation of the union was Fillmore's most cherished value. He was willing to put up with slavery if that was necessary to prevent a disruption of the Union and Constitution. He thus supported the Compromise of 1850, particularly the Fugitive Slave Act, so hated in the northern States. Hudson was not removed, and retained his position during Fillmore's presidency.…
