Hon. Willard Fillmore.

We invite the attention of our readers to
the correspondence between the committee of
the American National Convention, and Mr.
Fillmore, which win be found in this days
issue. We have never doubted Mr.. Fillmore's
acceptance Of the nomination, nor do we see
how any one could have doubted it knowing
Mr.. Fillmore's patriotism and his devotion to
the interests and welfare of the country. The
issue is now fairly made between the National
Conservative American party, and the pseudo
Democratic Filibustering Foreign party, and
the people must decide this issue according to
their own views Of their true interests and
permanent welfare. Can any man hesitate to
say that in every aspect in which the subject
can be considered, the rejecting and conside-
rate portion Of the American people will prefer
Mr.. Fillmore, with his antecedents and his
platform, to Mr. Buchanan, with his antece-
dents and his platforms
THE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
Every good citizen will feel peculiar graft
fication at the just, national and American tone
of Mr.. Fillmore's letter Of acceptance, which
we publish to-day.
It will be seen he wrote it Immediately
upon reaching Paris, and the day after the re-
ceipt Of the duplicate letter of the committee,
and without waiting or caring to inquire as to
the prospects Of success or defeat
He very properly refers to his previous a6-
ministration as an exponent of his future,
should he be elected and with sincerity and
national spirit that has marked his whole pub
lie life, promises, with the same scrupulous re-
gard for the rights of cpery section Of the
Union, to perform ecery duty con1ided by thc
Consultation and the laos to the Executive.
What part Of the country can justly claim
more
When Willard Fillmore says it it is not
merely form of expression, but on honest
declaration fresh from an honest heart.
He very squarely and gracefully approves
and adopts the platform of the party, and in
manner that will effectually silence all men who
have assailed his American sentiments.
We are glad to know he is soon to return,
He has been uniformly received with great
courtesy and consideration whilst abroad, and
will be welcomed home again by thousands of
patriotic hearts, that appreciate his worth MS a
public man.
How different will he find his country from
what it was when he left the Presidential
chair
Then twas all peace, contentmcnt and tran
quillity, with none but bright prospects in the
future-now he will find it torn and embittered
with violence and sectional strife-one section
arrayed against another, and arson and blood
shed, If not civil war, perpetrated in the Terri
tories by men who, under his administration,
would have remained in the kindest fraternal
relations with each other, thanking God for
government fraught with 50 many cherished
blessings to each and to all
The practical good sense Of the country. re-
Numbering gratefully the past, will, in his
election, make proper provisions for still bet
ter future.
Americans now know where they are--let
them clear decks and get ready for action.
