We this week place ut the head Of columns

and Vice Presidency. the names Of MLLAnp Fill
MORE, OF New York, the present acting Executive,
ana JOHN ). CRirTEHDEN, Of Kentucky; and in
doing 80, we wish to explain, briefly, reasons.
Upon the success oithe Wing party at the ballot
box in November next, and the consequent success
OF the principles which that party advocate, de.
ponds the prosperity of our country for the next
four years; and to render success certain. a man
who will be acceptable TO all sections OF the Union
the East the West, the North, and the South
should be selccted the standard bearer. Such an
one we deem Mr. Fillmore to be. No man,
we believe, has flled the chair of State more
to the satisfaction Of all parties in every part OF
the country, since the days Of Washington, than
he has done. Being called to administer the Gov
eminent at time when portion Of its subjects
seemed bent on it's destruction, by his wisdom and
frmness he averted the direful calamity, and
assisted by Clay, Webster, and others, gave to the
country a compromise securing to all sections their
just rights and with which all, except few ultra
lists in either extremes are Satisfied. His efforts in
securing the passage of this measure, and his sub
sequent firm maintenance oft, have rendered him
Justly popular with all in whose breasts love Of
country predominates over wild fanaticism. Then
came the Cuba expedition, which, fine did not en-
treIy destroy, he at least by his energetic action
rendered powerless, and saved the country from
that greatest of national calamities-foreign war.
While some no doubt did at the time condemn
him for checking the "extension of the area
of freedom" his course this on all other sub
jects claiming action at his hands as Chief Magis-
trate, received the appreciation of large majority
Of the people. We therefore deem him the strong
man of the party; and while We should not fear de
feat under the banner Of either of the gentlemen
spoken Of as candidates, we would make assurance
doubly sure by selecting one whom we believe to
be invincible when opposed by any person in the
ranks Of the Democracy.
Nothing need be said in favor Of our candidate
for the Vice Presidency. He has been in public
service long enough to be known to every voter in
the land, and there is not one who will deny his
moral worth his ftness for the station proposed
to be conferred upon him.

ANOTHER "OLD FoGY"-Governor Marcy has

on the whole commend the Governor to the De-
mocracy, particularly the South and West, remains

One thing, however, appears certain, and that is,
that his cxceency is to be regarded us an "Old

We cut from the Springfield Daily Post, of the
10Th ultimo, tho following notice, which sup.
pose ia correct:
"Gov Marcy, who is candidate for President,
was born in Worcester county. Mass, on the 18th
of December, 1882, and consequently 90 years
old on the 18th day Of December last"
If this be so, his excelIency, at his Inauguration,
should he be elected, (of which, to be sure,
no grea. prospect) will be nearly II years of age;
which consideration alone should surely induce
"Young America" to exert itself vigorously, and
thus avert the calamity of age.-N. Y. Express.

clustered and bullied at such rate that the sold

avowed intention Of having an expression in favor

m0cracy, and TO tickle the palate Of secession
as well as abolition, it was taken up by Colo
mel JACKSON, of Georgia, who had avowed the
opinion that the consideration Of the Compro-
mise acts ought not 10 be entertained by Con-
gress, or in caucus, but that II should be adj
journed over TO the Baltimore Convention.
With these views Colonel JACKSON could find
no difficulty in the adoption of DR.. FIrcH's
resolution as his own:
"ResoIred, That we recognise the binding eff
cacy of the Compromises of the Constitution, and
believe ii TO be the intention Of the people gene
rally, we hereby declare 1t to be ours individu-
ally, to abide such Compromises, and to sustain
the laws necessary to carry them out--the provi
sion for the delivery of fugitive slaves AND THE
ACT OF THE Last CoNGREss FOR THAT pURPosEl in
cluded; and that We deprccate all further agitation
of questions growing of that provision. of the
questions embraced in the acts of the last Congress
known as the Compromise, and of questions gene
rally connected with the institution of slavery. as
unnecessary, useless, and dangerous"
This is Colonel JAcKsoN's resolution, iden-
teal with that Of DIR. FIrcH, save only the
passage in small capitals, covering that portion
of the Compromise which Colonel JACKSON is
disposed to "sustain;" but otherwise not touch
ing, even remotely, the acts of Adjustment.
Compare it with the resolution Of Major Polk
that the Democratic caucus voted down, or
with the resolution Of Mr.. HAVEN that the
Wing caucus adopted, and then say if there
would be any reason for surprise if the South
ern WINGS should vote in body against the
call for the previous question.
Let us have no lodges or subterfuges in this
matter-no cunningly devised brief of unmean-
ing generalities-no one sided endorsement
no mere acqulescence in small per centage Of
the Compromise measures. If Colonel JACK
SON will consent to receive something substan-
tial in lieu Of DR.. FITcH's resolution-if he
will receive the resolution of Major Polk, or of
the Wing caucus, as an amendment-and bring
the House to the yeas and nays on its passage,
then we should know where men stand; but as
for defining their position on such resolution
as this Of Colonel JACKSON, one might as well
take the sense of the House on the riddle of
the SPHINX, and hope TO employ it to some
practical purpose.
