| The Baltimore Clipper says:
"THe woRK GOES BRAvELY on"
A correspondent of the Baltimore Democrat writes
thus from York, Pa:
"We have the pleasure Of giving you, from York,
the first victory Of the Americans over the Buchanan
party in their State. After spirited election on
Saturday we beat the sham Democracy by largely
increased majority over last spring The Buchanan
party here are dismayed at this unexpected defeat.
1t is but the beginning OF the end The Americans
of Pennsylvania love principles more than men, not
excepting their own favorite ones"
i, MARYLAND.-The Miltonian says:
at cannot possibly be disguised from any close OBJ
server that MIR. Fillmore is drawing to his support
very rapidly, hosts of people. 1t matters but little
in what direction we look it is evident everywhere
that Fillmore has place, and firm one, in the
hearts of the of the most patriotic of his coun
trymen and it is equally evident that they pre-
pared to place him where, like the ilustrious Wash
ington, he can honor and serve his country best
MIssIssIPpI-A letter from Pontotoc county states:
"1he American Council fires burn brightly, in this
proud little sovereignty of old Pontotoc. From
every quarter we hear cheering accounts of the deep
but not noisy, enthusiasm for the "model President
and the conservative, Unionloving, American Vice
| President, Doneson.'
! ARKANsAs.-A correspondent of the Albany i'd
vertiser from Arkansas, June 22d, says:
"The nomination of Yell for Governor, fowler for
Congress- in the southern district, and Thompson for
Congress- in the northern district have been received
with enthusiasm everywhere. The news of Yells
nomination threw Governor Conway into the ague,
from which he has hardly recovered"
New YoRK.-In New York. the Seneca Reveille,
sterling American journal, publishes Mr. Filmores
letter, and adds:
"The prospect grows brighter and brighter. Amer
leans shall rule America The people are only wait
ing for the des of November, to give an expression
to the patriotic principles which they possess.
Coward right onward, is the word-and victory
shall assuredly crown their efforts
FLoRIDA-The Florida Sentinel commenting upon
the recent American Convention in that State, says
"The American Convention, which met here on the
I'd nst was, in many respects, totally different from
all other political meetings of the kind before
attended. They did precisely what the people sent
them to do and they did in workmanlike manner.
There was no boastng, arrogance, no unnecessary
parade but every delegate appeared to be moved by
the same spirit and enthusiasm which animated the
great heart of the American people in the good old
days of Rough and Readyism.' We believe that
Millard Fillmore has to-day popularity in Florida,
and hold upon the affections of the people, quite
equal to that of Gen. Taylor in 1648 and Andrew
jackson Donelson has endeared himself to the hearts
Of the American people everywhere, for the ability
and statesman-like grasp which he brought to the
editorial management of the Washington Union, in
support of the great compromise measures of 1850"
VIRGINIA.-The National american, of Richmond,
says:
"The most gratifying reports reach us from all
quarters, from and other States. The great
middling classes-the woof and warp of the country
are moving. They are convinced that the nation
needs a safe man. and they see none more so than
Mr. Fillmore There is silent but deep current set
ting in for the American cause and candidates"
The following items are from that sterling Ameri-
can paper the Louisville Journal:
In Alabama, twenty-five papers-four daily, one
triweekly and seventeen weekly-support the Amer
ican presidential ticket with hearty good will,
This is very well for State whose whole voting
population does not exceed $4,000 souls
A gentleman requests us to say that he desires to
bet one thousand dollars that Kentucky will go for
Fillmore. Any one willing to take this bet will
please address box 327, Louisville post office.
Mr.. Buchanan said in his late speech at Baltimore,
that he had made more speeches on the subject of
slavery than any other man living. And on more
sides Of it, he might have added.
