Never. peshaps. since the days of Washing
con. has there been more unexceptionable ticket
presented to the American people for their sup
pors, than the enc selected by the American
National Couveatica which met at Philadelphia
recently. We consider, aud SO we presume,
does every American. the ticket most excel
lent and admirable one. It is strong in
point Of ability, strong in personal popularity,
strong in qualification for the discharge of Off
cial duties. and unusually strong in the moral
and political character of the distinguished gen.
tlemen whe compose Il. They are not, and
never have been, social drones or the mere
hacks of party. But they are pure and unex-
oePtienaeae men, and always have been, in their
personal private and public relations. They
are high.minded, honorable, capable men. In
word, they are both Statesmen and patriots,
and will adorn and dignity the high and dis
,inguished positions to which it is proposed to
elevate them. 1t is well known to our readers,
that we have had the name Of MnLARD FILL

heart would say to our American friends, raise

Ne Fillmore is statesman whose qualities hav

y. is constitutional mana man with the courag
