THE OBJECT OF MR.. FlLLMORES NOMINATION.
In reply article in the Commercial Advertiser APP
proving the nomination of Mr. Fillmore the New York
Tribune says:
"Mr. Fillmore notwithstanding his nomination. and with
all the votes he may be able to pick up know nothing
silver gray is likely be chosen President of the
United States than he is to be chosen Pope of Rome 1t is
paying particular compliment to the sagacty of the
merca Advertiser to suppose that it this fact clearly
do But, though the votes given Mr. Fillmore
not elect him, they may help to elect Mr. Pierce Mr..
Wise whoever else be the nominee of the Cincinnati
Convention and for that purpose, and ether that
the southern at Philadelphia nominated Mr.. Fillmore
They have hopes of carrying the South for him. They
generally cannot have the shadow of hope of carrying the
North but they do hope and without reason that the
votes drawn off for him have the effect of throwing
three northern States into Pierce Wises SCALE and
So added to the whole South Perces Wes
on Thus that Mr.. Fillmore has still third title
be called border-ruan candidate the sole purpose for
which he is nominated is to keep border ruian admins
tration in power"
We have expressed the opinion that the only effect of
the running of Mr. Fillmore will he to endanger the cleo
ton Of democratic President by the popular vote and
think there strong circumstances indicating such
purpose the part of the nominating convention There
is section in the platform which ought to satisfy
the Tribune that the convention which made Mr. Fillmore
its candidate ireconciaby opposed to the PRES
administration and any who might be the noml-
of the democratic party than the republican party
its probable nominee In looking the platform there is
to be found any sentiment indicating hostility
black republicansm which compares in malgnancy aud
recessness with the following concentration of msrep-
reservations and fasehoods contained in the thirteenth
section:
l3. Opposition to the reckless and unwise policy of the
present administration in the general cement our
national affairs and more especially shown in removing
Americans (by desgnaton and conservatives In principle
from office, and placing foreigners and ultrast in their
places shown in trucking subserviency stronger
and nsoeut and oowardy bravado the weaker
Powers shown in reepenng sectional agitation by the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise shown In granting
unnaturazed foreigners the right to suffrage and
Nebraska shown 10 its vacang course on the Kansas
and Nebraska question shown in the Judge
Bronson from the eoectorshp of New York upon and
untensbe grounds shown in the corrupons which per-
wade of the departments of the as shown
in dgraoing meritoous naval officers through prejudice or
caprice and shown in the laundering
our foreign relations"
With such aggregation and enumeration of blunder-
ing misrepresentation the foregoing before them we are
at a loss understand how the editors of the Tribune
could infer that the object of the Americans was to adj
the election Of any democrat who might be nomnn
ted From beginning end this section is made up OF
tissue Of Interpretations there is not truthful allie
CATION in IT. the charges evidently emanating from the
worst foes of the administration and of the democratic
party To suppose that body of capable Of voting
such plank into their platform actuaed by pur-
pose other than of impscable hostility the nominee of
the democratic party whoever be may be- is to outrage
common sense.
