A number of papers have fixed these names into
a ticket for the next Presidential canvass. 1t
would, doubtless, be a strong card-one that could
hardly be beaten in a majority of the United
States.
principles, not men, is very good theoreti
cal motto; but experience has proven that great
party, which is obliged to carry its principles by
the box, not at all, must have the right
sort of men to represent those principles. popu-
lar principle might elect unpopular man, but
the experiment is dangerous. Unpopular men
have been known to defeat popular principles.
We think Mr.. FILLMORE is popular in the best
sense of the term. He has gained the general es-
TEEN by his discharge of Presidential duties. He
has not been compelled TO make the fame acquired
in station covering for deficiencies in another.
His friends are not forced to bolster his Admins
tration by reference to the ability he
years ago as chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means in Congress, nor do they ever feel the
want of some great battle, in which he figured con-
spicuously, to make his course as Chief Executive
respected or tolerated by the people. He stands
before them upon his undisguised and unaided
merits President; there is single fact or cir
cumstance to call their attention away from close
scrutiny Of his executive conduct; they have not
even the complacent motive for forbearance which
their having elected him to that station might sup
ply to nation, by means forward, to call in
question its own sagacty; yet it is everywhere
honestly asserted and nowhere honestly denied
that the efficiency, ability, and true nationality
of his Administration have seldom been equalled
and never surpassed in the history Of this Gov
eminent There may not be enough clap-trap
about this sort of popularity to catch what is called
by professional politician the "fioating vote;" but
it is surely sufficient to claim the support of very
large majority of the independent and intelligent
voters of the country.
OF Mr.. CRIrTENpEN il is sufficient to say that no
man holds more enviabe place in the affections
and esteem of his countrymen. His native State
does not estimate him more highly than he ia
priced in every State of the Union. Unlike the
prophets, he has equal honor at home and abroad.
His merits doubtless reach beyond the Vice Presi-
dency; but every thing cannot be done at once. If
Mr.. Calhoun's cherished project for giving us two
Presidents part of the Constitution,
Crittenden would certainly be one of the Wing
candidates. AS it is, he may be chosen
didate for the one highest office; if So should
greatly like to the pedigree of the man who
could beat him. He would have to clear more feet
in second on the political course than ever Fly
ing Chiders" did on the turf. OF course, how
ever, circumstances make public sentiment point
more directly to Fillmore for the first office; and
if Kentucky permit Crttenden to for the Sc
cond, it will be partly with the view of restoring
the old order under which the Vice Presidency was
in more than the next thing to the Presidency.

MIR. Eillmorc.

The politician, of whatever caste, in glancing at
the history of this country for the last two or three
years, is struck favorably with the wise policy pur
sued by WILLARD FILLMORE, and the irmness and
integrity which have characterized his official con-
duct since he first came into power Unknown,
comparatively, at the time of his entrance upon
the discharge of his executive duties, untried in
craftsmanship, unskilled in the science of govern
ment from want of practical experience, the
wonder is the greater that single act of his Ad-
ministration has afforded his POLITICAL enemies
reasonable excuse to denounce or abuse him.
In reviewing the life of Mr.. FILLMORE, from the
time he first called to act the part of citizen,
it is found that uprghtness, calm and dignifed
respect for the opinions of others, and fidelity to
the best interests of his country, has marked every
step from that period until now, which could argue
alone that the post which he selected to fill
would be honored by his judicous course, rather
than that the post itself should confer honor on
himself. MIR. FILLMORE is the President of the
people, not of party. In the exciting controver-
sizes growing out of the Compromise, he has known
no North, no South, no East, no West; the welfare
of the whole Republic has been uppermost in his
mind, and with commendable though modest dis
regard OF the opinions of those who differ from him.
and had sought to identify him with the South,
North, East, or West, he has boldly performed his
duty in view of the oath of office which should ever
be the guide. board of the Executive.
The newspaper press is not called upon to defend
the Administration Of Mr.. FILLMORE; neither do
the political friends OF this feel that they have
a duty to perform in standing in his defence" in
street or neighborhood controversies. His life is
before the masses; and it is mingled with wis
dom, prudence, frmness, and modesty, to dis
arm the most INSCRIPTIONS. No defence is needed
from any quarter. The people unite in declaring
that since the days Of Washington, President
has had greater difficulties to encounter, and no
President has been successful in overcoming
them. But, while defence is unnecessary, it is
good to revert TO the past in order to refresh
memories, and to express just admiration for
the who will do his duty despite of all oppo-
| sition.
Happy will be the States of this Union if, in the
selection OF candidate to fill this Office in 1852,
possessing the great traits Of character Of Mil
LARD FILLMORE is drawn from the numerous aspi-
rants Let the convention select whom il may, il
is due TO the merits Of this to say that better
President has never occupied the scat Of Washing
ton, and perhaps never will.

CAMDEN, 1901
The Tennessee elections are over, and have re-
suited in glorious Wing victory. The patriotic
Democratic Union men assisted to bring about this
result We have Wing Governor and Wing
Legislature. General Campbell, in all his stump
speeches, came out boldly for the Compromise and
President FILLMORE. His willy opponent, Governor
TRoUsDALE. as you well know, abused the Compro-
mise in all his speeches, but would say that he
would aequiesce. He constantly charged President
FILLMORE and Mr.. WEBSTER with abolitonism!
This was all for effect. He well knew that the
charge was utterly groundless. The people could
see and understand the hypocritical course Of the
Governor. They saw that he favored the Secession
lists, &C.; and had he been elected, his election
would certainly have been claimed as disunon tr-
umph. Our citizens know that there
President of the United States who acted pru-
dent and patriotic than MILLLARD FILLMORE.
He is charged at the North as pro- slavery man,
and at the South abolitionist! The people
knew that both charges could not be true and they
soon became satisfied that both charges were with
out foundation.
The editor of the Union like drowning man,
is catching at straws. He seizes upon small mat
tiers, and magnhes them TO render the Admins
tration unpopular; but he cannot succeed You
appear at all times TO be able to refute, by facts a
figures, all the erroneous suggestions of your coz
temporary.
1t is truly gratifying to every patriot to behold
the straightforward and patriotic course pursued
by the President and his able Cabinet. The coun-
try Is safe while it remains under the control OF
such able statesmen. The Democratic party ia
split into fragments, and the good of the country
requires that these heterogeneous particles should
not be again ANAL gamated.
