The Fire spreadsth Z

In Loudoun county, Virginia, Willard Fillmore
has been the idol Of the people; and when John
Janney returned home on Tuesday evening from
the Convention, in which he had laooree LOT Mr'
Fillmore with giants might, he was visited by
a goodly number of his friends and neighbors
who had already heard the result but desired to
know how il had been brought about, and what
were their delegates opinions on the subject.
Mr. Janney told them that majority had
fairly trumphed in the Convention, and that
submission to the will of that majority, and co
operation in the work before them, comprised the
duty of every Whig--that it was not that they
loved Scott less, but that they loved Fillmore
more He admonished his friends OF the I'M
seemly and ungraceful attitude in which that
Wing stood who was less q Wing because ne
could not dictate the line of duty IN all things.
For himself, he said although he had ylelded
UP the candidate of his choice with deep regret
for the necessity, he had departed from the
Convention and returned to his home determined
that no action of his should be withheld that could
tend to lead onward, with the cry of SCOTT,
GRAHAM, AND THE COMPROMISE" to triumph
ant and glorious victory!
The assembled company, who came dropping
and with tardy pace, animated by the hearty good
feeling evinced by Mr.. Janney, and the bouyant
hopefulness with which he spoke, shouted n
hearty response to his appeal, and departed with
the resolve to battle with light hearts and firm
resolves in the cause that has been honored by
the vote of that most patriotic and beautiful of all
the counties of the Old Dominion
Three weeks ago, we had an interview on Penn
5ylvania avenue with n talented and influential
citizen of Montgomery county, Maryland. 81
assure you," he said, /" that Mr. Fillmore is the
first choice of the Wings Of our county, and that,
if you give US General Scott as our nominee, we
will not support him" This gentleman was in
this city two evenings since, and expressed the
opinion that there was no human being in
old Montgomery, who had ever given Wing
vote, who would not now delightedly cast
his suffrage for ScorT, GRAHAM, and the Compro
mise! II tell you" said he, the partialities of
ardent friendship, though superlatiyely good in
often lead the best of us astray; and
like Willard Fillmore, go for the patriot whom
our party has pronounced worthy Of its support"
The Baltimore American of this morning re-
marks that the Wing papers of the interior Of
Maryland and of Virginia and North Carolina
have endorsed the nominations of the Wing Ma
tional Convention with great unanimity, and with
many expressions of cordially. The platform of
principles is everywhere commended, and viewed
as the means of uniting the Wings of the Union
in the earnest and successful support of the NOM
inees
OF 80 men from Rockingham county, Vir-
ginia, in party on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road line on Tuesday, (as we are informed by
reliable and intelligent gentleman who was a
witness to the test,) 20 were Democrats IL were
Wings and 81 were pledged to vote for SCOTT
AND GRAHAM
