We are glad to see that the nomination OF
Mr.. Fillmore gives satisfaction in some quarters
at the South The St Louis InIelligencer thus
speaks of the nominations:
1t is astonishing to observe the unbounded de-
light with which the nominations of the Ameri-
can Party, for President and Vice-President, have
been received in this city. We all knew that MIR.
FILLMORE had deep hold on the confidence OF
the people and that he had admirers and ar
dent friends in our midst, We even knew that
this general and pervading popularity of the
man was not confined to his old political friends,
but had reached all parties, and that Democrats
by scores and hundreds, if not by thousands. in
Missouri, preferred him over all other men for
President.
We knew all these facts well enough; but we
did not know the intensity CT feeling that &C
companied the conviction of the peoples judg-
ments We did not know that the popular con-
tidence in the man, was accompanied by a burn
ing enthusiasm for the man. We did not know
that the popular head was warmed up by the
volcanic fires of the popular heart We did not
know that TO name WILLARD FILLMORE for the
highest office in the Republic. was but to record
the verdict that had been quietly written, with
ont consultation, in the Utmost hearts OF per
haps two millions of American voters. But SC
it was. And the JOY that has bean.ed from eve
ry face since the news reached our city, tells
more emphatically than words, the relief and
the qualification of our people,
And was it not great relief? sudden
hound from anxiety to full satisfaction--fton
perplexity TO clear comprehension of the truth
from doubt 10 the full assurance and reaiiza'
ton of safety! There was never ANYTHING like
it All further thoughts OF sections" 'piat'
forms," .eests," &c, were forgotten. The man,
FILLMORE, stood forth. the embodiment of what
the people believed in, loved aud desired, in a
President.

Discovery of the Upper Mississippi.


On the tenth day Of June, in the year 1878,
the meek, unpretendins Marquette, and the
brave and illustrious Joliet, with four other
Frenchmen, and several Indian Guides TO direct
them on their perilous journey, started for the
| banks of the Wisconsin, with two bark canoes
upon their shoulders. They had no sooner ar
| rived there, than the Indians, true to their ma
ture deserted them As Marquette expresses it,
| they were left alone in this unknown land in
the hands of Providence. But they are not east
| y daunted They boldly embark and as the
swift-running water carries them down the river
they are greeted only by the the ripple Of the
canoe and the lowing Of the buffalo. In seven
DAYS they reach the Mississippi, the most majes
tic of all waters. As they float down this mighty
stream, their sails are raised in ther bark ca
noes, and they are waited rapidly along by the
soft and gentle breeze. The JOY with which the
happy company gazed upon the innumerable is
lets in the river, fixed like gems in a cosonet,
and the expansive plains and the majestic forests
of Illinois and Iowa, as we'll as the numerous
species of waterfowl lowering about must in
deed have been great.
About two hundred miles below the Wiscon-
sin on the banks of the Mississippi, footprints in
the sand were discovered leading into the prai-
rics. Marquette and Joliet determined alone to
encounter meeting with the Indians. After
travelling six miles, they came to an Indian viii
lage They were the first white men in the ter
ritory of Iowa. They utter loud cry. Four
warriors advance and offer them the cal
umet of peace which is received. During their
stay they are treated with the most marked at
tention. After remaining six days, they leave
for their canoes, accompanied by hundreds of
warriors. Down the adventurers go, passing the
mouths of the Missouri and The Ohio. Prairies
soon begin to disappear, in their stead are seen

descended the river short distance below the
Arkansas, and then retraeed their journey. On
their way up they explored the beautiful Illinois
and the country which it waters. The grand
prairies along this river, dotted with buflaloes
stays, ducks, swans, "a species of wild parrot
and wild turkeys, were charming sight for the
adgeenturers. Marquette remained in Illinois
amongst the Miamis, preaching the gospel TO
them until his DEATH while Joliet returned to
Quebec to announce the discovery Of the Great
River, which waters the most fertile and grandest
valley on the globe.
