Mr.. FillmOre's Acceptance.

The Richmond Wing Of the 18th con-
tains MIR. Fillmore's letter Of avce ptance
IN full. Mr.. Fillmore accepts the NOM.
nation and adopts the platform presented
by tho February Convention which nomi-
mated him. 1t will be remembered that
that Convention struck out the 12h section,
which in meagre terms pledged the party
to abide by existing legislative acts. 1t
will be also remembered, that the Viz
ginia delegation in that convention. through
John Howard McCue, Esq, Of this place,
repudated and spit upon the platform, and
that the Convention adjourned IN state
OF confusion, pending motion Of Mr.. Me
Cue to abolish all platforms. the platform,
lists declaring the motion was lost, and the
Virginia delegation claiming that the mo-
ton had carried. Mr.. McCue now claims
that the motion carried, and tina: there is
no platform. Mr.. DonelsoH, the candidate
for Wee President, also desired that there
shoald be no platform. We will give the
letter OF MIR. Fillmore in our next issue,
and endeavo. to show up the inconsistent.
cy OF the grounds OF Filmores acceptance
with the actual state Of things as developed
by the see'Saw Convention OF the Know
Nothing party In February last.

Virginia and Buchanan,

There has beeu singular consistency in
the vote OF Virginia IN National Conyen-
tons for the past 10y years. Buchanan was
her fist choice in 1884, he was her first
choice in 1913; he was her first choice in
1882; and her first choice in 1856. She
nomin ated him in 1852, and continued vo-
ting for him until his own State gave up.
She nominated him in 1856, and continued
voting for him until her long cherished
hopes were realized. After the FIRST days

Vegetables claim the first consideration in the
market report this week, as they are of the first inn
portance. Potatoes look very fine, Notwithstanding
the late drought and are selling for from 81 rs to
81 rs per barrel. Green corn is beginning to be
baundant, though it is not SO good as IT should be
in consequence of the want Of rain. Moreover, the
late showers have hardly touched some portions Of
New Jersey and Long Island, much to the detr-
ment of the crops. Tomatoes come in slowly, and
are dear for the season. The fruit in market is
very nice; currents and gooseberries are pretty
nearly finished, and all the berries will soon be

that there are not enough of berries coming to this

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.


FRIDAY, Aug. l-6P.M
There is nothing new in the stock market. There
was fair amount Of business in Erie Central and
Reading, but prices were not sustained and the
general tendency was downward. At the drst board
New York Central Railroad fell of per cent; Erie,
!; Michigan Central, 4. Illinois bonds advanced
per cent; Chicago and Rock Island, 1. Galena and
Chicago closed firm ut yesterdays prices. At the
second board Erie declined per cent, and closed
heavy. These small fluctuations in the stock market
nom day to day do not suit either party in the street.
In the absence of any activity the bears have the
advantage but there is very little disposition to sell
short at current prices. There are parties waiting
anxiously to sell but they want the market to go up
nrst. There is at present very poor prospect for
either buyers or sellers.

Value put the market during the week. ~ os sj3
The business for the past week In dry goods has
not been large. but il has been steady, with an in
creasing tendency. A good many merchants from
distant States OF the South and Southwest
making purchases for their fall trade The importa-
fions for the month Of July which ended yesterday
were larger than ever before made at this port for
Che same period. The duties, by the returns Of the
Assistant Treasurer, Mr.. Cisco for July on account
OF customs amounted to S. .5lo3g3 &C., large pro
portion Of which was derived from the tariff on dry
goods. Notwithstanding the heavy intro iuction Of
foreign goods prices are well supported, and some
styles OF staple goods have an upward tendency,
owing in part 70 accounts Of advanced views Of
manufacturers in England and France, demanded
by the high range Of prices at which the mate
rias OF cotton and wool have for some time ruled,
and in part TO the prospects Of another year Of good
crops In this country and the probability that there
vill continue good demand for them In Europe at
rmuperative prices
The corn crop may, and probably has been injured
in certain localities by drought but In the main,
taking the whole county, with the recent general
rains and scarcely doubt exists bat that we shall
have an average crop. The wheat OF the United
States was probably never larger Of better quality
or saved in q better condition. The new samples
exhibited at the Corn Exchange uniformly good:
Che berries large. sound and heavy. This year the
xres, buIk Of the -four win be Of good 70 extra qua
Tty, and reduce the margin In prices between the

tbe large quantity Of sprouted wheat, the
quantity Of poor -four greatly preponde-
rated over the extra brands, and in some
cases az muth AZ IS per barrel existed be
