Mr. FuLMoREs NOMINATION RECEIVED AT
RoME-A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger writing from Rome says:-, eE
The news OF Mr.. Fillmore's nomination by the
Americans was received here on Monday
last, and caused great rejoicngs. 1t was an
noupced to him by q numerous body of his
friends, but had not the least influence on him,
who really seems to be the most imperturbable
man l ever saw in my life He returned the
other day from Naples, in very good health
and in very fine spirits, and will return ear
", this summer to the United States. Balls
and festivals have been given to him all over
Europe, and ut this distance from home where
party feelings naturally subside, and American
sentiments naturally become the only ones dis
tinguishabIe to patriots, it is no exaggeration on
my part to say that Mr. Fillmore has no enemy
on this side of the water, where every American,
Il use the term in its legitimate, most extensive
meanihg) is proud to see himself so handsomely
represented in the person of our worthy digni-.
fed, self-possessed Ex-President. We have now
some three hundred Americans from East, West
North and South here IN Rome and | am quite
certain that among the diversity of opinion and
political convictions that must necessarily exist
among them, there is not one who wouid not
think the country perfectly safe, should MIR.
Fillmore be once more called to the administra-
ton of the government. That his administration
would not enlbarrass our relations with Europe,
| feel quite certain myself; though fortunately
for the country, we have gone through the
darkest period and may hope for better times,
happen W hat may. -

Last evening, the weather being proptiouss the
Democratic ratification exhibition came Oft on lalay

BY dint of blazing tar pots, rockets, flags, anda
band Of music, very respectable Hail-Columbia at
mos phere was difused in and around the Square, and
an assemblage Of about thousand persons, irespec
tive of party collected to see what would take place
The formaities Of an organization were had, Mr..
Dunbar being made President.
Mr.. Dunbar, upon taking the chair, made short
but sanguneous speech-the substance Of which was,
that he was distinctly and emphatically man OF
peace but had come to the conclusion that unless the
Democracy went to the polls at the next election, de-
ermined to vote at all hazards they had better stay
away. This was duly applauded by the Democratic
third of the audience
Pierre soule was introduced as the first regular
speaker. He devoted half an hour or so to drawing
an ingenious picture of Know Nothingism and Blacl
Republieanism as the twinhorrors that threaten thu
overthrow of the republic, and of Buchanan as tn
Cuur de Leon who would save said republic. He re
tired with faint round from the Democratic fourt
of the audience, and blast Of brass music.
Mr. villere, of Plaquemine was introduced next

siderable talent, both of which he displayed to goo

dience gave him round, and the brass band ollowe

Mr.. Elnore, excandidate for the Mayoralty, too
the stand next and made short but vigorous tape
ingoff speech The Democratic guard gave him
cheer, and the brass band made as much noise q
| ever.
Then came an interval, in which the audenc
paired off into social teteatetes as between the ac
at the opera.
Gen. Cronan suddenly moved an adjournment. Til
motion carried by reclamation of the whole assembly
and in two minutes the square was vacant.
The affair was, upon the whole, an agreeable re
of the vaeuty in public amusements, and afforded II
greatest qualification to all who were present.

The Albany correspondent of one Of our exchange

The Albany correspondent of one Of our exchanges
writes as follows:
Willard Fillmore is the very impersonation Of
good health and vivacty He is above six feet in
height square built, somewhat corpulent, with pref
ty full face and highly intellectual countenance !;
and the brown complexion which the atmosphere of
the ocean has given him, renders him. physically and
intellectually, and noble specimen Of humanity.
Certainly man in the nation could look more the
President of the United States than does Mlliard
Fillmore.
"1he most amusing incident that TRANSFERRED in con-
nection with Mr.. Fillmores temporary soourn in our
midst, was his meeting with Prince John Van Buren,.
1t took place on the platform at the capitol while Mr.
Fillmore was shaking hands with the immense crowd
there assembled. The Prince took his regular turn i'll
the crowd as they passed by the distinguished states

multitude. Some cried out at the top of their voices
Give him the grip while a robust American occu
pied himself by patting John the back and asking
him to repent Mr. Fillmore laughed heartily during
| the entire ceremony, which lasted some minutes
| while the Prince preserved the greatest degree Of
dignity and finally left the platform apparently pref
ty well satisfied that he had strayed into the wrong
| crowd
