domination Of Mr. Fillmore.
As we anticipated in our last issue,
Mr.. Fillmore has received the nomina-
lion Of the American National Conyen-
yen.ioa for President Whether this
nomination viii prove a judicious one,
we are not prepared to say. There has
been considerable boiling since it was
made. and several of the delegates, even,
iea the convention and returned home
before its proceedings were brough. TO Il
close,
The nomination has been yariously
commented upon by the newspaper press.
Below we give some Of them, which
show the state Of feeling at the North
Thus far, we believe the nomination Of
Alr. Fillmore gives very general satisiac-
ton to the Wings, the Conservatives, and
a Par;-perhups amajority-ofthe Amer
lean party; but unless they and the Re
Publicans unite on him against the pres
emf administration, his defeat must be a
"lorcgone conclusion" which would result
in the certain triumph Of Pierce, Buch-
aiau, or some other pro-5layery Demo
crat. The Republican Convention which
lately assembled at Pittsburgh to organ
ibc the party, has adjourned to meet again
al Philadelphia on the 9Th of June, when
they viii bring out their candidate, and
should they endorse Mr.. Fillmore his
election would be quite certain, but should
they repudiate him-which everything
at present indicates they will do-then
his nomination by the late American
National Convention amounts to nothing.
further than to distract and divide the
people Of the North.
Il is to be hoped that there may be a
firm union Of all the free States, to resist
the further entertainments of the Slave
power, in the next Presidential election.
The Republicans have put forth deci-
dcdly anti-slayery platform, one sufficient
IS broad to holdall the people ofthe North,
whether Wings, Abolitionists, Americans,
Or Republicans.
The Boston Courier says:
The stormy proceedings of the Con-
Yention ended with the nomination Of one
OF the best men in the Union as a candi
date for President, but in n house so es-
scHtially divided against itself the nom
nation docs not appear to be a matter of
much consequence. Mr.. Fillmore does
not belong to the order Of Know Moth
ings,"
The Boston Post says:
The Know Nolhings arc knocked into
a cocl'd hat by their divisions in rsaE,a,
council and grand convention. Fillmore
and Donelson are the candidates for
President and Vice President of the
southern section, and the northern section
viii, probably, play bob to Francis p.
BIair's kite, and dance to the abolition
tune OF black republicanism."
Tho New York Express CAmerican)
endorses the nomination ofFillmoro with
mach spirit, and says Of him:
"a Northern man in principle and
training, and thoroughly imbued in all
the constitutional principles Of the North.
he yet in his administration Of public af-
iars, has known no North, no South, no
East, no West,-nothing but the country
as a whole,-and he administered the
government for that whole in q wav that
party spirit could hardly cavil at. and
which gave satisfaction to nine-tenths Of
the people Of the country He himself
has had 10 hand in securing this nom
'nation. 1t may be said, perhaps, he left
the country for while, so as to be free
from all suspicion of interference or con-
nection with this high object of honorble
ambition. The tribute given to him.
therefore, is the spontaneous tribute Of q
country toprobity, qualification, and sound
principle"
The Lowell Courier GndependcnD
SAYS:
The nomination. Of Mr.. Fillmore bv
tie American convention at Philadelphia
VIII give strength to the party making it
=. tAe South, and vii. sadly perplex the
'unterriiied'. No President since Wash
lngion, has left the Presidential chair
more universally respected for the ability
and integrity which he displayed in his
high Office than Mr.. Fillmore. His
nomination is destined to be favorabIv
received"
The Now Bedford Nsrcay CWhigl
thinks that Mr.. Fillmore should receive
the general support of the American
party, and his election should be insisted
On an rs national measure, irrespective
o. sectional issues. Itsays:
We therefore regard Mr., FiIlmore's
nomination as a solid basis for the Amer
Ie'tl party to rally upon, however dimin-
G"'e may be the prospects Of success
As to MIR. Fillmore, their candidate. we
innG they might have gone further and
Jared worse"
