Hungsrians in their present glorious struggle for
liberty. Another is to be held IN New York, this
week, a, which Gov. Fish has been invited to pre-
side. great gathering is anticipated
Nomination of Henry N. Fuller, Esq.
The nomination of Mr. Fuller. was anticipa,
ted, for his Abilities integrity and high public and
private qualities, had gone before him into the
discussion and the unanimity which combined
the voices OF all sections Of the State, is proud
and gratifying evidence that, with an enlightened
people true merit never fails 10 win an adequate
appreciation. This triumph has been produced
by no influence nor exertion of MIR. Fuller for he
has never raised voice nor stirred hand 10 OBJ
tain his nomination. Nor have his friends-and
The foremost of the State are his friends--re-
cognised any serious necessity for interference in
his behalf. There is buoyancy in his many
merits that has upborne him, and that will secure
his election, as it has his unanimous nomination
He is emphadcally the candidate of the people.
Mr.. Fuller is generally known TO the people Of
his native state; yet brief notice Of his career
and character may not at this time be unaccepta-
ble Henry NJ. Fuller is the only son of the late
AMI Fuller, Esq, very able and esteemed law
yer of Wayne county The elder Mr.. Fuller was
universally respected and beloved not only in his
own section, but throughout the state. He left
10 his son the inestimable heritage Of a fair name
and noble example. The candidate of the Wing
party in Pennsylvania was born in Wayne county;
and received every advantage that can be bestowed
by the most liberal education--having graduated,
as we are informed, al Princeton. From the ear
hest perod of his life, he has been known as a
sedulous and severe student, and, returning to his
home he was, within the regular period, admitted
TO The practice of the law. His early virtues gave
promise of great future excellence; and we have
been informed by an aged citizen of Philadelphia,
of unsurpassed reputation throughout Pennsylva-
MIA, ,ha, he has known Mr. Fuller from childhood
end has always noted him as one worthy of, and
destined TO, emnence--for that IN all the relations
of life, and in reference TO every duty he has con-
stantly challenged admiration and confidence
Immediately after his admission TO the bar in Lu-
zerne county, he entered upon the practice of his
profession at Wilkesbarre Here in a community
Of eminent intelligence, and at highly intelligent
bar, he soon rose to enyiable station. AS a
lawyer, he is well-read, logical and eloquent.
In the Legislature, Mr.. Fuller Immediately as.
sumed position of high rank and influence. His
ample knowledge of all the extended and varied
interests of the State, and especially of her inter
nal Improvements secured immediate attention
and respect; and his lberality, moderation and
urbanty constrained his party opponents TO admit
that his triumphs were meried as well by his fair
ness as by his force. His first speech was made
upon the subject OF the completion of the North
Branch Cdnal--an interest placed peculiarly under
his charge OF this effort we shall have occasion
10 speak -affer suffice it TO say that it was
pronounced TO be equal, in range of information
originality Of thought power of argument, and ell
oouence of defamation, TO the best efforts eve
made in the House. The friends and the oppo
nents of the bill emulated each other in the
praise and Locofoco presses, for the most part
characterized it with equal warmth and eulogium
From that moment, he stood among the ablest O
the statesmen ofthe keystone. His course through
outthe session, confirmed these impressions and b,
ief Harrisburg with reputation of which any pub
lie man might be proud. Liberal in all his senti
menis, Mr. Fuller is in favor of the largest Demo
cratic Wing principles; and is numbered with tn
friends energetic but wise and guarded progress
He advocates strict economy; and will be foun
an unsparing foe TO the ruthless and corrupt ez
raragance with which the majority of the presor
Board have disgraced the State. He consider
reform to be demanded in all branches OF the ad
uins,ration of the public works. The patronag
OF the Canal Board is enormous and overshadop
ing ii has been in the hands of Locofocoism f
many years; and they have built up giant stru
ture of oppression and wrong. The State d
mands reform Of these abuses and Mr.. Full
has the ability. the courage, and the patriotism
meet any expectations in this regard, which Il
vir,uous portion of the people may form Of hir
W ith such candidate, it needs only union a,
action to secure triumph that will outshine th
OF Last fall-North American.
