The New York Sunday Dispatch, neutral
paper, makes the following remarks relative 70
the prospects Of the candidate OF the American
party in the approaching presidential election:
sOn all hands, we find men who had been
talking in favor of Buchanan and Fremont. now
giving in their adhesion TO Fillmore. Commo-
dore Stockton is out for him. The North Amer
lean, it is whispered, will endorse him in a day
or two Edward Everett is to take the stump
for him, and in word, it seems as if the peo-
Pile had made up their minds 10 administer
signal rebuke to the sectionalists. north and
south, bv the triumphant election OF Willard
Fillmore. Ii his friends can keep the steam at
the same figure it has been the past two days,
Willard Fillmore will be the next president
There is no Disgusting the fact that the sentiment
of the country is against sectional strife and
diseord. With the exception of few fanatics
in the north and secessionists and bullies at the
south, we verify believe that the people of these
States desire to perpetuate our form of govern
ment and live in peace with each other
The Philadelphia Sun says:
whilst the political demagogues are making
good deal OF noise and creating some confu
sion in the public mind, there is class ofsober,
thinking. observing men-men who ask moth
ing, desire nothing from party success, but who
love and reverence the constitution of the Union,
and prize country more than party-whose in
fiuence will be seen and felt at the ballot-box
on the first Tuesday in November next. With
in the last week or two we have mingled large
ly with people from different parts of the State,
and confess that we have been surprised at the
expression OF sentiment and feeling favorable
to Mr.. Fillmore, which we have heard on ev
cry hand. Go where you may, and there is
but one sentiment among the moderate and con-
sentative classes, and that is, that Mr.. Fillmore
is the only safe man now before the people, that
he has made good president, and that the
country needs bis services to put down agita-
ton. Such is the substance of the spontaneous
heart-language of the honest, sober minded
men OF all parties, and in all sections.
