PRESIDENT FILLMORE.

Wnotu MS sCt cuCusSS oso So"soe'"Sa y
confess, is worthy to occupy the exalted
station Of tho Chief Magistracy Of this en-
liah,eued confedcracy. The Wings, tn
party who placed him in the Vice Psesiden
cy, AID whose political principles he faith
fully represents, are so we'll pleased wit
the judicious manner in which he has set
tied The several vexed questions that hav'
recently come up before him for adjudica
ton, that in every portion Of our UnIoI
they are waving personal predictions i
favor Of Mr.. Fillmore as the candidate To-
reelection. But while this nigh, be ex
pected, il is more THAI was anticipated, n
she spirit Of fault finding that charaeterizes
ihe American press, TO fad Democrats
cand,dly acknowledging Mr.. Fillmore wor
thy Of high honor and praise, for the fear
less manner in which he has grapp'ed and
the satisfactory way in which he has de-
cided, Questions Of serious import to the
American people. Before the irifiers, who
ahasg to the skirts" Of The Democratic par
", havc had time TO plan wel-set attack
upon the President Tor Executive nterle.
renee in the Cuban affair, the Hhoie cues
ton is settled and in manner So satisfac-
torily that, although unwillingls, they are
constrained to acknowledge it. The laws
are broken at Christians aud before the
censorious Of the party have time 10 nib
their pens, all concerned in the treason
able transaction are arrested and brought
to trial. The frmness aud dispatch With
which every measure iraught with inter
est 10 our common country is met and
overcome, are source Of admiration even
10 those who have been accustomed to re.
gard the actions Of sn opponent without
allowance.
That the above remarks do not proceed
entirely from the favorable impression
made upon our mind b. The statesmanlike
qualifications displayed BY President Fill
more, but by knowledge Of the facts, We
present the testimony Of a distinguished
Senator of the Democratic party, who, in
speaking of Mr.. Fillmore, says:
81 honor him for his course, an4 il the appro-
baton Of a political opponent, who has Al times
done him some wrong be at all grateful 10 him,
let him be assured that not | oaly, bu, THOU
SANDS or oTHEEs of my POLITICAL rRIENns, heart
lily thank him for VIVA, he has done, and fervent-
ly thank God tina, we have in this crisis patriot
and statesman at the head Of affairs who knows
his duty and dares TO perform it,
Numerous other testimony might be I'D
duced but this is sufficient for the present.
as il shows The light generally in which
our President is regarded By his political
opponents.
Az for his friends, those who represent
the great Wing party, the sentiment in IA
vor Of his denomination for The high office
which be now fills is SO general, that we
scarcely know where 10 commence to show
TO our readers its extent.
In Virginia twenty three WING papers
have run up bis name for the Presidency.
In Ohio, says the Chillicothe Gazette,
sslhere are thousands Of the most substan.
tial, trUsty Wings, who would prefer TO see
the gentlema4who at present fills The Pres
idential chair nominated for reelection
and believe that his moderate, dignifed,
able, enlightened and patriotic discharge
Of all the duties Of his high Office eaiiile
him to the great consideration Of bis whig
fellow citizens, both north aud south, as
their candidate for Presdeu, in 1852"
The following resolution was adopted
unanimously by the Wing Convention o.
the Frederick Congressional District oil
Maryland:
ssResolred, Tha! this Convention heartily ap
prove Of the course pursued by the present al
ministiation in its resoiu,e and firm determine
tion TO execute The laws or the land; that We rec
ognize in MiLLAEp FlLLmoRE those qualities Of
statesman eninently fitting him for The high STA
ton he has filed with so much credi, to the la
ton, and we recommend him TO the whig part,

The Harrisburg PA State Journal, il
on article upon Presidential movements
says:
eve observe that a number or the Ieadin!
and influential wing papers in Virginia, Mary
land, Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana, and in
deed oil Of the Southern and Western States
aad many Of the Northern States, express de
cided preference for Willard Fillmore, as th'
next wing candidate for President, Our owl
impression is that Mr.. Fillmore, at this time, i
the choice Of large majority Of the wings o
