IL, in our opinion, not merely the strongest cand
date whom the WING party could select, but the
man whom, OF all othcrs, it ought TO prefer. MIR
FILLMORE was elected chiefly upon The popularity
and strength Of General TAYLoa. AZ that time he
was only known rs prominent Wing politician
from the North, and, though his abilities we're con
coded, he had not then become universally known,
and enjoyed none Of that celebrity which follows

In his reiterated determination TO accept them az
hnai settlement of tho slavery question; in his pa
triotic and steadlast opposition to sbotionism on
The one hand, and secession on the other; in the
whole scope, tenor, and conduct OF his Admins
tration throughout this trying difficulty, the poo
pie recognised iniallible evidence of the
wise IN forecast, thoughtful and delberativc, low
ing his country with a constant and unfaing az
lection, unswayed and mistaken by the clamors Of
discohtehted faction, holding the helm Of the Gov
eminent with firm and steady hand, and guiding
the precious barque safely amidst tumultuous
winds and raging seas, The consequence of this
able, upright and honest course has been that Mr..
Fillmore's Administration stands high with all
we'll thinking and moderate men, He possesses
the profound attachment of his own party, and
even his opponents speak Of him with habitual re.
spect. He has been $50 even minded in his great
oince, 30 little of the partisan and has dspla we'd
30 much Judgment, consummate tact and skill,
that he has succeeded. to notable extent, in soft
ening the virulence Of party, and has won golden
opinions from all sorts ofmen
Were Mr.. Fillmore candidate for the Presi-
dency, the Democracy would be puzzled how to
assail him. Occupying position that exposes
most men to thousand attacks, difficult to parry
his public conduct Inns been 80 free from reproach,
that II Is almost unassailabc. Abolition might re-
vile MN because he has sustained the Compromise
and disunion might level at him it's battery of
abuse because he has discountenanccd its insane
and reasonable doctrines; but the healthy sent-
ment Of the whole country would be enlisted in
his behalf and would triumphantly sustain him
against the assaults offactions 80 contemplate we
should like to see Mr. Fillmore ptted against some
unobjectionabc Democrat as conspicuous rs hnscf
for devotion to the Union and Compromise The
contest would be apleasant one, without acrnony
or personal bitterness, and the result would hardly
bring with it a sting to the defeated party.
