u The Express, in behalf of harmony
and Cancellation, protests against the selection OF
Ex-Gov. WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON by the Wing
State Convention of Pennsylvania as Delegate
to the Wing National Convention. Ii is admitted
that said State Convention pursued conciliatory
and magnanimous course-spoke kindly and
warmly OF Mr. Fillmore and his Administration

This is polite way of telling Old Chip he is
fool and don't know how even to form Cabinet
but never mind.
The Express pursues the work OF cenciiating
and harmonizing the Wing party in a leader,
which accuses the opponents Of Mr.. FillmOre's
denomination in our State of heaping all manner
Of calumny and obloquy on the Presidents devo
ted head-for which accusations there is no
shadow of warrant. Mr.. Fillmore has been even
kindly treated by the friends Of Gen. Tsylor's
policy and its supporters whom, for that course,
he expelled from the stations to which Old Zack
appointed them True, they have said that Mr..
i. cannot be reelected President, and given
good reasons for their faith but they have not
personally assailed him. We know Mr.. Fill.
more better and respect him more thoroughly
than those who now fawn around him We re
gard him a man Of more ability than he gives
himself credit for, his integrity We have never
doubted but he has deferred to bad advisers and
made grave mistakes since his accession to the
Presidency which will prevent his reelection
No President can afford to ALLEVIATE and treat
enemies considerable portion of the party
which elected him, no matter though they do
happen to differ from him on some questions.
Mr.. Polk tried it and mserably failed of re-
nomination Gen. Cass was forced to attempt it
as a candidate, and failed of an election. Mr..
Fillmore has been driven into the same rut by
selfish advisers who now pretend to desire his
denomination, though they know perfectly well
that this would expose him to anignomnlOus de-
feat. Here, for instance, Is a specimen of The
EXPRESSES efforts at cancellation

That sort of language may help to contracts
and fat pickings at Washington, but they won't
aid Mr. Fillmore's reelection, and are probably
not expected to.
