Willard FiIimoro-The Presidency.

| We this week place the honored name of
WILLARD FILLMORE at the head of our col
umns. Among the many prominent men spoken
of as Wing standard bearers in 1852, we know
of no one that, together with the necessary
qualifications for the office, blends the elements
of popular appreciation in the same degree with
Millard Fillmore. He is eminently national
in his character. His Administration has been
national He has done justice TO the North and TO
the South-to tho East and West-to the centre
and to the circumference. lie is altogether free
from the narrow and contemplate sectionalism
which has been exhibited by some Of states
men, and has contributed so largely to the agita-
ton and CONFUSION of the body polite.
II was an eventful hour when he assumed the
reins of Government. Men were to be aeen at
nightfall talking in undertones at the corners of
the streets, in the highways and byways and in
the rotunda Of the National Capitol. alienation,
disafection. disunion, stalked abroad at midnight
and at MONDAY without mask LEAN looked
prophets whispered fearful changes" All the
signs and tokens of conspiracy and foul treason
were as plainly stamped upon the political ele
ments-their traces were visible as the hand Of
Omnipotence in the physical changes and aspects
Of the world.
A masters hand was required to subdue these
upheavipgs of the sources of power Calmness,
self possession, unwavering frmness, patriotism
co. extensive with widespread country, were
indispensable prerequisites of him whom Provi-
dence should send to rescue
A man not only among, but of the people, was
chosen to discharge the functions of this great ms
sion. That man was Willard Fillmore BY him,
and tho noble spirits by whom he surrounded,
confidence restored, fanaticism rebuked, and
disunion driven to its cave--where, powerless for
evil, it writhes from self-iniicted torment
Honor to the man who was equal to the great
emergency into the midst of which he so sud
denly and SO unexpectedly thrown.
We have hoisted the name of Willard Fillmore
to he top of the mast. There we shall keep it, I'M
less National Convention shall decide that some
other, equally as worthy. shall take its place.
The doctrines in regard to internal improvements,
avowed by Mr.. f. in his message, peculiarly
acceptable to the people of the West.
They are the doctrines which, if carried out will
improve our rivers, build railroads, and de-
velop our resources, bring into proximity to the
eastern markets, enable Us to dispose of our sur
plus products, and make our habitations places
which will be proud to call "home."
We believe that Willard Fillmore will be the
peoples choice for President We notice that sew
era papers in this State, and others, have already
flung his banner to the breeze, with determine
ton to stand by the man who in trying hour re-
gardless of manifestations of disapprobation from
his native State, stood by the Constitution

ssThe TRAVELLING Preatdensy

We struck with the above caption to an ar
tice in one of our exchanges the other day. II
not the Iitieness of the affair (Which written
with view of getting up feeling against the
President, because of his summer trip for relaxa-
from the onerous duties of his station) which fixed
our attention. but it the fact that sheer despcr
alton alone could have driven an editor to bring up
in the shape of an accusation gerry small a thing
1t is an in the world of politics when no rail-
ing accusations be brought against Chief
Magistrate other than ''he is taking pleasure ex-
cursion,' and to our mind is the most convincing
evidence of the correctness and purity of an Ad-
mnstraton whose opponents are driven to such
desperate shifts to manufacture capital against it.
Our memory runs not back to the time when the
turmoil of national politics hushed and still,
when all men seemed 30 content with the admins
ration of public affairs, when general feel
ing of security and peace pervaded the public mind.
the probable result of the Joray against Cuba
has (out of the cities) created excitement. AT
ter the first natural outburs of horror at the ruth
less saying of their unhappy captives by the Span
sh authorities, the people appear to be quietly
willing to leave the whole affair in the hands of
the President, feeling of is wise and honor
able and speedy adjustment When have we had so
model an administration, that "knew no North, no
South, but abored for the good of the whole coun-
try,' and that commanded such universal respect
and esteem from an entire people. President FILL
MORE came into power amidst most terrific Storm
that shook the very foundations of our glorious
Union, and now nothing but the voice of content
ment and harmony is heard throughout the land.
Although the credit of this mighty change is not
due to him alone, yet his labors, much as those
of any other patriot in the country, instru-
mental in producing settlement of the vexed
questions, and to his self sacrificing devotion to the
Union, together with the wisdom, moderation, and
Cancellation displayed by him, is doubtless to be
attributed the present calm and sunshine of the
public mind.
1t appears as if these things had but lately &C.
Cured to others as well to ourselves. From
many portions of the country indications of
awakening to the blessings of 30 I'M
excephonable and deserving Administration,
and it behooves the politicians of both parties W no
casting about them for candidates for the next
Presidency, TO first inquire of the people whether
a change from the present happy and contented
state of affairs under the present Executive is de-
sired by them.

At a meeting of the Wings of this county,
held at the courthouse on the Sth instant, Dr.
BARTON b. WRIGHT was called TO the chair,
and DIR. BENJAMIN ANDERSON appointed secre-
tary. Among others, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
"Reioued, That we ardently attached to the

There can be no difference of opinion concerning
the shocking affair which occurred at Christana on
Ihursday-the resisting of law of Congress by q
band of armed negroes, whereby the majesty Of
the Government defied and life taken in one
and the same act There is something more than
mere ordinary something than even a
murderous, riot in all this. II is an act of insur
rectlon-we might, considering the peculiar class
and condition of the guilty parties almost call il
servile insurrection-n not, also, one of treason
Fifty, eighty, or hundred persons, whether white
or black, who deliberately in arms for the pur-
pose OF resisting the aw-even the law for the re-
covcry Of fugitive rlaves-arc in the attitude of e
vying war against the United States; and douby
heavy becomes the crime OF murder in such case,
and doubly serious the accountability of all who
have had any connexion with the act as advisers
suggesters, countenancers, or accessories i'll any
way whatever.
Along with the first account of the atrocity-
that which we published yesterday morning-was
report that it originated in consequence of some
OF" the leading abotionsts'' advising the negroes
to " stand their ground"-that lie, to resist-to arm
and fight. We are no friends or npologists of the
abohtionists; but we must say we feel IT difficult
to believe there can be any foundation for such
dreadful charge. Were il the bedlamites of more
northern regions-tbe Garrsons, the Abby KEEL
lys, the Frederick Dougasses, who have made the
name equally ridiculous and odious-were il the
theatrical and atheistica crackbrains who declare
their independence alike of the laws of man and
God, against whom the accusation was made--it
would be credible enough. because they have con-
tinually preached such doctrines, and been proud
to be abused, or laughed at, on account of them.
But not aware there are any fanatics of this
class in Pennsylvania, and we should never have
thought of looking for them in Lancaster county.
Nevertheless. this charge, having been made ought
to be investigated, as il assuredly will be, in the
most exact and rigorous way, so that full Justice
may be done against all engaged in this most sedi
tious and sanguinary tumult.
While we thus doubt, however. tho direct COM
pcity Of the abohtionists or any other advisers we
must cay that we find, or fancy, a sufficient
cause for the fearful act in the infamous party
tactics oil the Locofoco press Of the State which,

WITHDRAWAL OF GENERAL QUITMAN-It
will be seen that General Quitman, late dis
union candidate for Governor of Mississippi.
has Withdrawn from the canvass He with
drew as soon as the result of the election of
delegates TO the State Convention was known.
The disunlonsts We're SO utterly overwhelmed
in that election that he saw there was no pos
sible chance for his success in November.
Qultman first came out in his canvass for
Governor as fierce advocate for the immediate
dissolution OF the Union account of the pas
sage Of the Compromise measures 1t was soon
ascertained by him and his friends that he could
not make successful or even a respectable fight
upon that ground, and SO they got up sort Of
convention caucus at the capital of the State,
and changed his ground and their own. They
passed series of resolutions, setting forth that
they would not exactly insist upon the dissolution
of the Union for any thing already done, but still
holding out fierce threats, and breathing the most
reasonable spirit. They hoped to collect upon the
platform of their new resolutions the WI ole OF the
Democratic party of the State, and they succeeded
in rallying large majority of that party, but still
a considerable number of the Democrats, mindful
of the obligations of patriotism, refused to go with
the Democrats masses, preferring to unite with
the Wings in the great and holy work of pre-
serving the Union The recent election of dele
gates to the State convention evinced the power
and the might of the Union party OF Mississippi
and showed that the device of the disunionists in
the shifting of their ground was understood and
appreciated and now Quitnan as before re-
marked, has precipitatey fled from the field, leav-
ing his chivaric competitor, General Foote, in full
possession of it.
Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama have been
the only Southern States, with the exception of
South Carolina, which the enemies of the Union
have relied for the promotion Of their Internal pro
jects. Already they are crushed in Alabama and
Mississippi, and there be no longer doubt
that they will be crushed in Georgia the day of
the election in lat State 1t is sad fact, a fact
that tells badly Tor the Democratic party, that,
although many of the organs OF that party in the
sIaveholding States, especially in Kentucky. Ten
nessee, Virginia, and Maryland, profess to be de-
voted in their friendship to the Union, not one of
them all, so far as know or believe, has mani
tested the slightest sympathy with the Union men
of Mississippi Georgia, and Alabama, in their great
struggle for the preservation of the country and
probably not of them will express the least
qualification at the Union victories.
! Most heartily do we congratulate General Foote
upon the reward he is now receiving for his noble
| services in the cause Of his country.

Mr.. Roman, again restored TO health, left Cum
berland Thursday morning in the cars for Freder-
ick, where lie will spend few days among his
friends, and then return, through Washin gton

hand for a regular canvass of the district, and
even if the time longer, it would be impossi.
BILE for Mr.. Roman-just out Of a sick bed and
with the thermometer at 95o-to undergo the great
fatigue and labor Of making his way in cars on
horseback, in stages, to every point where the
people might desire to see him. This Congress.
sional district is about enc hundred and fifty miles
in length, and, under the most favorable circum-
stances the task of canvassing it ia of no ord-
nary labor. In Mr.. Romans case the thing is i'm
possible.
We feel the less regret at this state of things,
from the fact that the friends of our candidate are
everywhere active and in fine spirits, and we have
now the comfortable assurance that Mr. Hamilton
will be relieved from the burden of further misre
presenting this important and intelligent district
