Everybody Likes it.

1T is astonishing to observe the unbounded
delight with which the nominations of the
American party, for President and Vice Presi-
dent have been received in this city. We all
knew that Mr. Fillmore had deep hold on the
confidence of the people, and that he had ad-
mirers and ardent 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 know the intensity of feeling that &C
companied the conviction of the peoples
judgments. We did not know that the pOpu-
lar confidence in the man, was accompanied by
a burning 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 MILLARD FILL
MORE for the highest Office in the Republic, was
but to record the verdict that had been quietly
written, without consultation, in the inmost
hearts of perhaps two millions of American
voters. 'But-so twas. And the joy that has
beamed from every 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? A sudden
bound from anxiety to full satisfaction-from
perplexity to a clear comprehension of the
truth-from doubt to the full assurance and
realization ~cf safety! There was never any
thing likeit. All further thoughts of ''sec-
tlons," platforms" "tests," &C., were forgot
ton. The man, FILLMORE, stood forth, the
embodiment Of what the people believed in,
loved and desired, in a President.
