The nomination of Millard Fillmore for Pres;-
dent has been received in this city with the
most enthusiastic appplause and his nomina-
ton may be considered as equivalent to an
election. That the Whig party throughout the
country, as general thing, will unite on Fillmore
there cannot be doubt. II will do very well foI,
dissatisfied politicians to say that Mr. Fillmore went
TO Europe to avoid answering questions which
might be propounded him, but his friends know
him too well to even harbor such a thought for
a moment. The New York Commercial AdyeI-
tser was out yesterday in a strong article in fa-
vor of the nomination, and will work with will
to secure Mr. Fillmore's election. In this connec-
ton, will you allow me to make the following que
taton OF a truthful paragraph, which l have just
found in New Orleans paper:
"Milard Fillmore is to-day the star toward
whose cheering light thousands Of eyes are trirr-
ed for deverance from our present troubles. He
is statesman of high intellect and firm resolve,
patriot pure and incoruptible. We have tried
him in the time of danger, and he has proved him
self worthy of his trust. Like the heroes of Buena
Vista, he was baptized in fire and blood and came
out steel His patriotism is bounded by no Mason
and Dixon line; it is as broad as the prairies and
forests, the lakes and rivers of our continent CON-
pretending all in common brotherhood"
The special committee OF the Board of Alder
men, to whom was referred the correspondence
between Mayor Wood and the Postmaster General,
in relation to an uptown post Office have reported
in favor OF such an Office, and recommend the loca-
tion OF the same at the junction of Broadway and
Sixth avenue This location is over three miles
from the business portion Of the city, and entirely
too far up town to be of any convenience to but
comparatively small number of citizens. The CON-
mittee have instructed the Mayor to address the
President on the subject, and have transmitted
copy OF the report to each member of the House
from this city, asking their cooperation to forward
the movement. hope the President will have a
thorough investigation made OF the matter before
adopting the above location If we arc TO have a
branch office, let it be where it will accommodate
the mass; and not select place which will only
be of advantage to land SPECTATORS who are
making every effort in their power to secure this
place for the Office
The Young Mems Christian Association Of Brook
lyn have rearranged their constitution, and so
changed it that ladies may become members This
is good move, and will undoubtedly be followed
by other similar associations throughout the coun-
try. Why not let the ladies have their say as well
as the lords of creation?
Andrew jackson Donelson, the candidate for
Vice President arrived in this city yesterday and
is stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel A large
number OF gentlemen have already called upon
him.
The United States steamship Relief sailed from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday for the Brazil
station. The following are her officers:
Lieutenant Commanding w. Cooke.
Leutenants Watson Smith, Theodore Lee, J.
z. Pyffe, Chas P. McGary.

Some forty or fifty ilibusters left this city on
Monday in the steamer Northern Light FOR San
Juan, for the purpose of joining Mr.. Walkers
corps in Nicaragua. When the steamer had got
near the Narrows an examination of the tickets
took place, when it was discovered that large
number OF them were counterfeit. All those who
held these spurious tickets were put on shore at
Sandy Hook, seven miles from any habitation. In
a card published this morning from fourteen Of the
number, they state that the tickets were furnished
to them by person whom they took to be respon-
sible, and who told them that the tickets were all
right. The United States District Attorney must
have been mapping, to have allowed so large del
egation to leave the city in one steamer
The old Masonic Hall on Broadway (who does
not remember the Wing meetings which used to
be held in it years ago?) is to come down this
spring, to make room for two splendid stores
This building is one of the old landmarks of Broad
way, and will be missed by ALL OMIoRoN.
