The Cincinnati Commercial Fillmore
1 Feeling &c.

The Cincinnati Commercial is paper OF the
Horace Greedy stripe. 1t is indeed close
imitator Of Horace Greedy, at least as close as
the short mental legs Of the Commercial editor
will permit him to follow the long strides of
Greedy. He certainly presents at times a
rather amusing spectacle as he pit-pats and
puffs and heaves, to keep within sight of
his leader, while Horace strides on uneon-
Ecious apparently Of the existence Of his West
ern imitator. Horace Greedy is generally
found is opposition to every popular excite
ment which is taking hold of the minds of the
people, on the ground that there must be re-
action, and then he will be found on the popu-
lar side. The Commercial is trying on this
same policy Tt oppose the "Know Moth
ings'' in imitation of Grccly-it became in
tsnsely 'black Republican, under his lead,
and now it is actually trying to step on
Horace's heels in its eagerness to catch up with
him in opposing the late nominations Of the
American party. The only reason we see why
the Commercial cannot become the Tribune Of
the West, in accordance with its evident am
bition, is simply because it hasn't got Horace
Greedy at its head.
The Commercial thinks the nomination Of
Fillmore has been received with shocking
degree of GOODNESS and apathy in the Free
States. We fear the Commercials exchanges
are composed almost entirely Of Old Line and
extreme Republican papers. Its remarks
about the feeling in Indiana towards Fillmore
illustrate that its comments on the same feel
ing in other States, arc more prejudiced thar
correct. It says of this State:
an Indiana some half dozen journals, most
~ country weeklies, with limited influence
constitute the strength Of FILLMoREne wspaper
dom"
In Indiana, there are probably twenty pa
pers, comprising some of most influential il
the State and five Dailies, each with Week
ly and several with Tri-Weekly editions, warm
ly supporting Fillmore and Donelson. We have
already published list of sixteen papers, al
influential in their respective neighborhoods
and all just as honest and patriotic and zealou
IN the support of the American nominees, a
the Commercial or any other Republican pape
can possibly be in the support of its candidate
for the Presidency. The Commercial is eithe
shamefully ignorant of the feeling for FiIImor
in this State, or it purposely misrepresents tn
truth. We presume it is no more correct il
the expression it gives to the feeling in othe
free States. In speaking Of the feeling in New
York, it is grossly mistaken in saying tn
friends of George Law generally refuse to g
for the nominations. The Law Americans il
the Generally Assembly endorsed the nomina
tion-the same in the State Council. All owe
the State they are giving their acquiescence
olive Oak" clubs are changing their title
Fillmore clubs. The Law men opposing th
nomination now, are exceptions to the grea
mass of Laws friends. The Albany Regste
is the only American paper in New York {
any prominence which has refused to endors
the nominations. The Commercial canno
win in this game and it might as we'll be stop
ped at oEce.
