Fillmore and the Presidency:
Resolved, That WILLARD FILLMORE, the
present President of the United States, by his
just appreciation and faithful discharge of Ex-
ecutiye duty his wisdom and skill in the man.
agement of our national affairs amidst the most
embarrassing difficulties, his loyalty to the
pledges of the Constitution and firmness in
maintaining the laws passed by Congress for
their observance, his patriotic devotion to the
Federal Union, and his noble efforts to pre-
serve it as perpetual bond between sister
States, has eminently justified the expectations
of the Wing party, and entitled himself TO its
continued confidence and to the support of the
whole country.
RESOLVED That the Wings of Virginia de-
sire to cooperate with their brethren of other
States in the furth erance of the same national
policy which has 70 sfynaiiy marked the pres

fidelity to the Constitution and the measures of
adjustment shall not be beyond all question"

TOO GOOD TO BE LOST

awe heard of conversation which took
place few evenings since between one of FL
mira's fair daughters and young merchant of
the place which runs as follows:
@The merchant was speaking of the excel
lent qualities of young female friend of his,
and closed his remarks by observing that she
was noble, generous-hearted lady, and one
that was right here accompanying the last
words with gesture which bOrdered near the
heart
"Her reply was Fudge! that is half cot
ton!
A similar remark might be made, if applied
to the hearts of certain politicians who flourish
in these days; bat in their cases it would be
said their hearts are Gall cotton

The warrant was served by Officer Wolard,

LYNCH LAW.

The following is said to be copied from the
Richmond TIMES: 80.
aOn the 18th inst the Vigilance COMMITTEES
Of the county of Grayson, in this State arrest,
ed man named John Cornutt a friend and
follower of Bacon, the Ohio Abolitionist and,
after examining the evidence against him, re-
auired him to rcnounce his Abolition senti-
ments. This Cornutt refused to do /; thereupon
he was stripped, tied to a tree, and whipped;
After receiving dozen stripes, he caved in, and
promised not only To recant but 70 sell h's
property in the county consisting Of land and
negroes and leave the State. Great excite
msnt prevailed throughout the county, ana the
Vaudeville Republican of the Goth instant states
that the Vigilance COMMITTEES Of Grayson were
in hot pursuit Of other obnoxious persons
Whether this man is an Abolitionist, Seces-
sionist Jew, Turk, or Hottentot we do not care
10 inquire. In any case, the Committee Of
Vigilance deserve punishment and stigma

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
VENTION.

This body met at Madison on the 10th O
September, and appointed Timothy Burns, Pres
ident Sixty-eight delegates were in attendance
The Convention nominated d. A. l. Upham fol
Governor, and Timothy Burns for Lieutenant
Governor.
The Convention then proceeded to appoint
delegates to represent the State of Wisconsin
in the Baltimore National Convention. The
following persons were sent
Delegates at Large.-Nelson Dewey and H
c. Hobart; LIST Congressional district, John A.
Bryan of Milwaukee; I'd district David Nog-
gle; Sd district John Delany
State Electors were appointed as follows: At
large Satterlee Clark and NJ NJ Cothren LIST
district Philo White I'd, Beriah Brown; Sd,
Charles Billinghurst
The following resolution was adopted A
motion was made to postpone indefinitely, and
adopt the platform of 1S49, but the substitute
was voted down:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Wisconsin
now stand where all true Democrats have stood
since 1896, on the platform of principles then
drawn by that pure and lamented statesman,
Silas Wright, and approved by every National
Democratic Convention since that day. And
occupying, as our party does, this devoted posi-
ton, we would, in their name, repudate all ex-
traneous issues and sectional tests of party faith,
as pernicious, clannish, and disorganizing in
their tendency.
The Kenosha Telegraph, under the title of
q I'D E6aot ,o,,hls.haa H. col
tract from letter of Mr. c. H. Donaldson to
friend in Iowa
"ln regard to platforms avoid all new tests,
especially that Of Land Reform Partly re-afhrm
the Baltimore platform, cithom offending our
Free Soil dilieS-who have pledged themselves
in good faith to us--as their vote will be most
formidable, you may depend upon it; and we
can afford to make few sacrifices Of the South
where 80 irascible a disposition is shown.
"If you could but prevent the passage Of
Land Reform resolutions an the State Contention
of Iotrd, and other portions of the Wes, then
Walker, of Wisconsin, could be easily kept IN The
background, and Houston's ok0nces greatly i'm
proved"
1t adds:
II il said that several reliable individuals in
Wisconsin have been intrustcd with these in
structions and as these individuals were promi-
nent in our late State Convention, the suspicion
is fully confirmed by their action there. Look
how exactly that Convention has complied with
the directions Of this letter--all new tests have
been avoided, especially that Of Land Reform,
and the Baltimore platform has been partly re-
affirmed. Whether however, il has been done
without offending our Free Soil allies remains

GREAT FIRE AT BUFEALo.---A very destruc-
tive fire broke out here ON Friday night, Sep
tember Goth. The whole of the section of the
city known as the Hooks together with several
squares north, between the Niagara Falls Rail
road and the Lake, are in ashes The flames
are still rapidly spreading, and the wind blows
a gale from the south, rendering the exertions
of the fremen almost powerless. The damage
is already very great, and there is no telling
when the fire will be checked
Friday September 26--i p. M-That por-
ton of the city extending along down between
the Canal and the Terrace is entirely destroyed
Thousands poor people are rendered houseless,
and millions of property has been consumed
An area of no less than ten acres has been
burned over. The flames have just been check
ed, though the wind is still blowing perfect
gale from the south. One dead body has been
taken from the ruins, and fireman is seriously
burned.
