FILLMORE AND STUART.

(From The Harrisburg Na.) American
Much has been SAID ard written recently about
the probable candidates Of the democratic party for
the Offices Of President and Vice President. We
must confess that we arc almost entirely indifferent
o. 10 the selections the democrats may make. We,
however, have little paitality for Wise, the letter
writer Of Only, near Onancock; for We would like
10 have him stump the Union, tell The aboionists
OF their sins face 10 face, aud fight he must Wise
isa brave nan, and can talk bravey at long taw;
would, the efore, like to him test his spunk, by
Of bis superior courage. We are for Wise. But we
interested about the probable candidates Of
own party than those OF another party. We
believe that II the proper selections made, the
American party" can trumphaBtIy elect the next
President aud Vice President OF the United States.
The signs Of the times Indicate that with the Hon.
Miiard Fillmore for the Presidency and the Hon. A.
H. II. Stuart for the Vice Presidency, we could rout
the democratic foreign Catholic party, horse. foot
and dragons, and rid ourselves Of democratic mis-.
Iulc. hr Fillmore, during his entire admlnistrA-
ton did nothing that WAS not worthy Of Washing
ton himself He has secured the confidence Of the
whole American people, and his re election to the
IIesi6tLcy would lie hailed M the harbnger Of bet
ter days for the republic. We are that gene.
rous people would delight " honor him.
Mr. Stuart is man Of whom We need say
thing. He, no Less than Mr.. Fillmore deserves the
support and confidence Of the people OF the repnb-
lie, and We are confident that our party could not
select n upon whom they could bestow their
sufifages with more credit 10 themev with bet
ter chances OF success.
u these men ARE nominated by the American par.
~, We shall support them willingly, heartily aud
wiih all the ability we Possess.
