kteWBUu1 q tOtAkEg - IA
First, Because Willard Fillmore has proved
himself to be HONEST and CAPABLE.
Second, Because having been tried, he has
been found faithful to the CONSTITUTION
ANDTHE UNION.
Third, Because his administration has re-
fected undying lustre upon the American
name.
Fourth, Because he is eminently practical
and enlightened and conservative US States
man, and every way qualified to uphold the
National honor and sustain the National pros
perity.
Fifth, Because he is pure, patriotic and dis.
interested, and like the iIlustrious Henry Clay,
would rather be right than be President.
Sixth, Because he is opposed TO all geo.
graphical distictions or sectional predictions ;
he is an American in The lofty and compre-
hensiye sense, and is in favor Of the Union as
it is, with all its benefits and ble( -
Seventh, Because lie knows A~last, no
West, no North, no South, except as compo-
nent parts Of our beloved and gloriops.country,
and as entitled alike to all the priv that
are guaranteed under the Constitution.

ton Of the rsjMeblic from the rest, or to enfee-

The NewYork Sunday Dispatch, a neutral
journal, has il review OF the political field, con-
Guiding as follows ~
The Fillmore meeting and procession on
Friday night, 10th instant, was vie to the
Buchanan aud Fremont men. the re-
peatetl assurances Of the opposit ess that
the American party was dead, tnese parties
really began to imagine that such was the fact.
The appearance Of $4,000 people III ths-Union
Park meeting, and ZONE 10000 voterS the
procession Oh that occasion has opeitl the
eyes Of these politicians. They have Just dis
covered that there is q Fillmore party iuENew
York. When the votes come to be Cd ntea
they will make some further discoveries that
will astonish them still more, not only in New
York, but in other quarters Of the Union. We
speak aavisedly when we tell our readers that
the Fillmore men will carry free States that
are regarded as sure for Fremont. The same
result will also take place in the South, where
Buchanan is supposed to he the only candi-
date. Mark the prediction, and call US taIse
prophets, il the result does not prove what we
say.
Two powerful clements are combined to pro
a'SS tiio leH'ilt. INT Americans anu the
Union men Of all parties go for the same ticket.
The American feeling Of the country is an cle,
ment that will never die while veiieration for
the Union OF States must live as long as The
memory of Washington is cherished by the
American people. 1t will not do for the Dem
ocrats or Republicans to run away with the
idea, that because Fillmore men do not make
as much noise as they do, they are not as
earnest and active as either Of the opposing
parties, 1T is not a party of wild fanatics, but
one that feels that a crisis has been reached in
the history OF the Government which requires
the united efforts of conservative and sober
men to avert. The sober second thought of
the people seems to be settling down to the
TACT lha' the only safety for tie country at the
pfeSe't tnne Is in the elevation Of Mir. Fill
more and hence they are not in a position to
make any great noise on the subject. After the
election, they will rejoice in the result Of their
iabufs.

ENGLAND AND MEXICo.-The fact
that England is about making naval de-

state the cause of the difficulty. Mexico

that unhappy and impoverished country.
Just as the nation, under the energetic ad-
ministration of Commonfort, is about to
emancipate itself from clerical control, and
many other of the evils that have always
been the stumbling blocks to its progress,
John Bull steps in and paralyses the cxis-
ting government by presenting his bill OH
the jib-boom of a ship-of-war The claim
is no doubt just, but John should make
some allowance, especially as he was so
wroth with Brother Jonathan for doing
similar act, at time when there were no
palllatlng circumstances, and no favorable
symptoms of better order of things in
Mexico. John Bull breaches we'll but
practices badly.-,Sm

DISCOVERY OF A RICH GOLD Deposit
AT CAMPO SEco.-A correspondent writing
to us from Campo Seco, Calayeras county,
Nov. 18th, says:
Messrs Butter, Joslyn & Co., recently
took up an abandoned tunnel run into a
hill north of this place, and commenced
work running it still further in. Their
enterprise has been fully rewarded After
running about forty feet further, they
struck rich deposit of gravel yielding
from dollar and half to fifteen dollars to
the pan. To-day, from five consecutive
pans, they have washed out .ffty-eight
dollars and half of worn gold, in pieces
varying from bit to six dollars. The
gold is identical with that taken out of the
famed Stockton Hill tunnel at Mokelumne
Hill, is of great purity, and will command
the highest price at the Mint. A week
ago the claim was offered for $25 a share:
its present value is hard to estimate The
lead is evidently one running through a
long range Of hills, and will prompt hun
dreds to try and strike it. Campo Seco
will in all probability now regain it's former
reputation. Nothing is wanting but en-
ergy, industry and perseverance. to de.
yelop the vast hidden riches of this Camp.

HEAVY OPERATIoN.-One of the long

Shaw's Flat, Tuolumne county A COM
pany has been formed, and the necessary
preliminaries commenced. This tunnel
will be commenced at Woods Greek, about
half mile from Shaw's Flat, and will be
run in, on grade, low enough to drain the
entire Flat. 1t is an operation of consid-
cradle magnitude, and will require heavy
capital, but the investment will doubtless
prove remunerative.

CONSUL DILLoN.-We learn that the
French Consul will leave here probably in
the steamer of the 9th of December, and
is expecting his successor, M. Gautier, here
by the next steamer. Before NJ. Dillon
leaves, we understand that not only tes-
timonial will be given him by the French
population of San Francisco, but that it is
in contemplation among some of our mer-
chants and Government officials to tender
him a public dinner, as a mark of the
high regard in which he has been held by
them, and as proof of the friendly rela-
tions which have existed between them,
