pected. That there may be favorable changes may
be safely admitted as not beyond the limits OF all
probability but that there will be in either great
section of the Union more favorable than unfavor'
able changes, cannot be nationally assumed, and
adopted as the basis Of any calculation which
reliance 10 to be placed.
II may be admitted to be possible that some one
or more of the free States which gave Democratic
majority in the last Presidential election, all of
which have given still greater Democratic ma
jorty in the elections held in those States since,
may in this election come over to the Wing side.
But il is significant fact, that of the members of
the present Congress representing the free States,
all elected within the last two years, majority of
twenty Of the Democratic party. And yet
some people seem to imagine that these same
States, without aid from the saveholding States,
may choose majority OF Wing Presidential elec-
tors, and thus elect Wing President! The sup
position is too absurd to be adopted the basis of
any proceeding whatever.
II is therefore not only important, but it ia india
pensable to any expectation of a favorable result
Of the election. that the Wing candidate nominated
by the National Convention should be one accept
able to the Wings Of the slaveholding States as
well as to those of the free States This would be
a reasonable consideration, even were the object
attainable only by the sacrifice of some desirable
qualifications in the candidate agreed on, in COM
parIson with one who might be the first choice of
the free States. But surely when the object ID at
tainable without any such sacrifice, and by a
mere sacrifice ola personal preference, on the part
of the delegates themselves, or OF those from
whom they derive their instr ctons-without
the slightest pretext which any Of them
dare make, of the superior qualifications of the can
ddates of their preference, the score of talents,
political. tried fidelity and patriotism, in the
important recommendation of being thoroughly
known to the people of the whole country-it must
be admitted that serous matter ia deserving
of the most careful consideration. At least it de-
mands full and satisfactory inquiry into the fact,
whether the candidate who might otherwise obtain
the preference Of the representations of the free
States is utterly repulsve to the electors OF the
slaveholding States that he is not likely to receive
one of their votes

From the Ns,o York Erpress.
MIR. Fillmore at Home.

The Wing press of New York not all one
way in this State by good deal. The Mirror, the
State Register, the Albany Express, the Brooklyn
Advertiser, the Utica Gazette. the Buffalo Adur
tser, the Rochester american, and great many of
the weekly and semi weekly papers, come to US in
every issue with warm, generous, and just defences
of President Fillmore, as the true son Of New
York. We could fill columns with reasons
given in those journals why Mr.. Fillmore should
be nominated.
The Brooklyn Adoertiser (two- thirds of the
Wings in Brooklyn being friends of Mr.. Fillmore)
says:
"The only question. then, is to take the best, the
most available, for attaining the principal object in
view, and in our humble opinion that man ID Mil.
lard Fillmore. He is that has already rendered
invaluable services to the country, and who has
never failed faltered in the discharge OF trust
confded to him. He embodies many the noblest
qualities that adorn and dignity human nature.
Why, therefore, should there exist doubt to
his qualifications, availability with respect to
the great contest into which we are about to enter?
We repeat, that in him we find one known, tried,
and faithful; who, springing from the people, pos
sesses every qualification which enlightened and
experienced craftsmanship can bring TO the office "
The following pointed paragraph is from the
State Register:
The Tribune stigmatizes Mr. Fillmore as the
'impracticabe candidate and charges upon his
friends the design OF dlVldng ana oreaklng up the
Wing ranks by the introduction of new tests &c.
What warrant has that paper for this statement?
Mr.. Fillmore is presented as candidate, unitedly,
by almost the entire South; he will have more
northern delegates than any other candidate will
have OF southern; he will have more delegates from
his native State than General Scott can get from
his; there no better more staunch and reli
able Whigs in the Union than the portion who urge
his nomination; his Administration has been as
successful, and stands as high and as firmly, at
home and abroad, any OF the best that have pre-
ceded il; he is Wing, and nothing else he Is a
tried and true patriot; he is the hearty choice OF
hundreds of thousands OF the Wings whose votes
must elect Wing President if one is chosen at all
next November-and yethis supporters, these very
Whigs Of whom we speak, are charged with seek
ing 10 force upon the party the nomination Of an
impracticable canddatel There is no truth in the
charge Neither is it true that they seeking TO
divide and break up the Wing ranks by the useless
introduction Of tests and sectional questions
They have neither advanced nor pressed any thing
novel at all i"
