blinded by obst'nacy and fanaticism, that In the
approaching Presidential struggle, the Ameri-
cans are prepared to do battle in behalf Of their
candidates With an unanimity Of spirit, aud de-
termination that augurs prOmisingly for their
cause. It Is folly to persist in undertaking the
strength Of this party. Every right thinking
member of it feels that inasmuch as it was
through his individual influence that Mr.. Fill
more was nominated and induced to accept that
nomination, it would be in the highest degree
censurabie and dishonorabae to dbandon him
evenin the prospect Of a defeat. The party en-
tertains the belief that the election must be
decided by the House, and they insist that he
will be the compromise candidate, and that his
chances of election are equal to Buchanan's, and
infinitely superior to Fremont's.
The attempts Of the press devoted to the Ne
gro worshipping cause, to account for the
strength of this mutinY is highly amusing. The
Times, with characteristic meanness, declared
that the audience, prompted by the lose Of tho
fine arts, availed themselves Of toe opportunity |
to visit the Academy because the admission was
free;the" foul Tribune attributed the attendance
10 fireworks and music. and the Herald to the |
Incorporation of the Democrats, but all agree
that it was large, united and enthusiastic. The
New York meeting numbered 2O,0o0 persons.
and that OF Brooklyn, $4,000. Such overwhel-
ming enthusiasm was never before witnessed.
1t is evident that an extraordinary political

sands have already deserted it, and other thou
sands are preparing to do so. In New York
last week, a regular democratic State Con-
vention," was held, when the Cincinnati nomi-
nees were openly denounced. The Germans
have gone en- masse over to Fremont, and in
, conjunction with what heard the Hon. Hum
phrey Marshall, of Kentucky cay at the Acad-
emy of Music, that after the Presidential elec-
ton the Democrats win be as good Americans
as we could wish them. Yes. this poliucal rev.
luton is turning the tables in favor of Fillmore.
and instead of Buchanan, as was supposed,
