American State Convention.-Thc A.
mercan State Convention was held at Grccnsborough
on Thursday and Friday last the proceedings Of which
have been furnished us in an extra from the office Of
the Patriot and will be found in another column Of
paper to-day. We understand that more numerous
and respectable body Of men never before assembled
in this State on any similar occasion. AT the OPEN
bers, representing As counties. Several additional
members were afterwards in attendance, whose names
were not entered.
John 4. Gilmerof Grccnsborough, was nominated for
the office Of Governor the first ballot by the unanim
vote Of the Convention and being informed thereof
very checrfuly and promptly accepted the nomination.
Mr. Gimcr having actively and faithfully performed
his duties during long service in the Senate, he has
made himself know to all the people an able and
prudent statesman and having freely participated IN
the discussions Of important questions which have agi
tated the public mini, be has made himself equally
well know consistent, udicious and liberal poll
tican. Such being Mr.. Gimcr's aniecedcnis, feel
hesitation in placing his name at the head Of
lumns with Fillmore and Dnnclson.

have heretofore delighted honor tried men, who ha,
proved themselves honest capable, and faithful the

Fillmore as follows:
" With reference TO Fillmore as man, il IS
undoubtedly the best nomination the party
could have made. He is an independent,
candid politician. While he occupied the
presidential chair, he threw off all sectional
ism, and administered the government in ac-
cordance with the provisions and spirit Of
the constitution. dealing out equal handed
justice to the North and to the South. lie
exhibited his nationality by warm and man.
ly support Of the Compromise Measures.
This was his duty; and. for doing it, he de-
serves an approving conscience and the re-
ward Of duty well DONE"
An admission so frank and manly. says the
Nashville Patriot, is highly creditable. 1t is
one Of the bright spots in the gloomy horizon
of politics.

But the most severe cut is made at President
Pierce, of whom the Douglass organ says:
Malevoent persons are endeavoring to
circulate the report through the country, that
President Pierce will come again before
the Democratic Convention for renomina-
ton"
Having cleared the track Of all COMPETE

clares that all the necessary political virtue
and popularity for a Presidential candidate
are concentrated in Douglas, though the same
organ, by authority, announced short time
since that in no event would he be cand-
