Fillmore is our first choice for the next
President. lie is tried man, and he came
forth from his trial commanding the respect
and confidence of his opponents as well as his
friends, and with a hold upon the affections
of the latter, which time can never remove
lie was ever found in the path Of duty' ever
acting for his country's interest, never sinking
the President in the partizan, and never
thinking what the result of his course might
be upon his own personal popularity. Shall
we not say he had an unconquerable reliance
upon the people; believing that they would
give their confidence to one who, regardless
of mere party clamor, should nobly dare TO
pursue the path right! We are urea OF
brawling politicians; tired of tenth rate men,
Our nation needs n Chief Magistrate who
shall lend dignity to his station, not one who
shall depend upon his station for his charac.

we have somewhere told our readers, the no.
ton" Principles and not Men, is a false notion
and has done us incalculable injury. Prin-
ciples and Men are reliable; the lack of either
is ruinous. The President of these United
States should be man of experience, of de.
cision, Of frmness, of far.seeing sagacity, OF
great prudence, of unboundcd integrity, and
possessing the confidence of the people,

the other a humane and unselhsh motive. 1t

England fights for her interest, for the integ-

advancing upon India. But, on the other
hand, England and France, representing the
principle Of constitutional government are
opposed TO Russia which represents dead
Asiatic despotism; for although France be
now in form almost an absolute monarchy,
yet every man knows that in France the En-
peror is an accident, and in Russia che Gar
is a principle. II is this conviction which
secures to the Western Powers the sympathy
of all truly thoughtful minds. What power,
except Russia, can possibly gain by the ex-
tension of the Russian empire; and who, spite
of his commercial calculations, which certain.
ly are forcible within their sphere, does not
know that the great, and final, and formidable
