Willard Fillmore.

To those who are acquainted with the internal
politics of our State. it can hardly be necessary to
say that WILLARD FILLMORE stands preeminent
in the affections of majority of the Wings OF New
York, eminent in the affections Of all, and would
have been nominated for Governor had he desired
to be, as he did not Having peremptorily declined
unanimous denomination to Congress four years
snce, on the ground that he had performed his
share of public service received his share OF public
favor and honors and had now right to indulge
his growing Discrimination for official duties and ~
urgent necessity pressing upon him for devotion
Of his time and attention TO his private affairs he
consented. two years since TO be candidate for
Governor only because the Wing State Conven-
ton unanimously insisted that such consent was
essential TO the Wing cause limitations having
been given that similar call would be again made
at this time, Mr. L. decidedly dissented from that
view, and insisted that some Wing whose atten'
ton had been more thoroughly given OF late TO
State affairs should be selected for that station,
and intimated his personal preference OF joins
YOUNG as the man. A part OF the Erie Delegation
accordingly voted for Mr.. Young throughout though
others on the the two first ballots, felt bound tovote
according to the strong preference OF the majority OF
their constituents. On the third informal ballot,
we believe but one vote was given from Erie
County for Mr.. Fillmore, though the Delegation
felt bound by the early decision OF MIR that every
good Wing owed his services TO the common
cause whenever they should be imperstively de
manded and so didrnot peremptorily insist tina, his
name should be withdrawn. Indeed, they were
informed that il would make no ditference-that
many Delegates felt constrained by their own
strous convictions and the urgent wishes OF their
constituents to vote for him all events the end
It need hardly be added that Mr.. Fillmore will be
more endeared than ever to the Wings ofNew. York
and Of the Union by his course in this emergency,
aud that heacefoy,h when individuals shall be
elanorously pressed for exalted station account
Of their alleged claims and services when others
sball insist ON refusing 70 accept nominations be
cause Of their personal tastes engagements, the
example of WILLARD FrLLMoRr in declining sn
honor which many We're eager to press upon
him, yet in standing ready TO serve in case the
Convention should declare an overwhelming neees-
sity therefor must exert silent and salutary IN
6uenee 20 shame alike the presamptuous and the
devotees of personsl interest pleasure Il need
not here be added that Mr. Fillmore, on being ap,
psised of Mr.. Touns's nomination by Telegraph,
promptly returned an answer expressing his high
qualification at the choice and his resolution to give
it "a energetic support.

this FAIL because SINCE the ,iuty on Coal has been
