The George Law Association:

A meeting of the Young Mems George Law As
sociation of New York was held on Tuesday even
ing last, at the Smithsonian House, DR.. Charles A
Peck presiding +. r. Hubert, Secretary. Severa
interesting speeches were made, advocating the
open American movement; after which the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That although our first choice for
President of the United States was George Law,
we approve of the nominations of Millard Fillmore
for President, and Andrew j. Donelson for Vice
President and will by all honorable means support
said nominations.
Resolped That the name of this association be
changed, and that it hereafter be known as the
National American Association Of the city of New
York.
RESOLVED, That the members of the various Liv,
Oak and Fillmore Clubs in the city, and all Others
in favor of the election of Fillmore and Donelson
the Union and the Constitution, be invited to join
with us in the cause of our country and the main
tenance of true American principles
The meeting adjourned with nine cheers for Fill
more and Donelson-subject to call of the Execu-
tive Committee,

sble doubt. That it win meet with a hearty re-
sponse from this numerous and influential body OF
citizens, we have every reason to believe. OF all
our modern Presidents, Mr.. Fillmore is the only
one whose yesterdays look backwards with a
smile" Firm, yet not stiff in his opinions, cour-
teous and conciliatory in his manner, of moral
character above reproach, he proved himself du-
ring his last tenure of Office, scrupuously faithful
to the high trusts conided to his care and to the
best interests Of all portions Of the Union.
The nomination of Mr.. Andrew Jackson Donel-
son, as candidate for the Vice Presidency, appears
also to meet with very general approval. Inde-
pendent of bis personal claims to the recognition
of the American party he stands before the people
with certain adyentitous advantages which are
well calculated to render his selection popular In
the rural districts of the North and Northwest and
with the people of the Southern States generally
There Is one circumstance connected with the
selection of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelson as the
nominees of the American party, which we have
deferred noticing until now, for the reason that
we desire TO make 1t more impressive. The nomi-
mating convention neither accepted rejected the
platform Of tie National Council, but eschewing
all platforms, left the nominees free from all
pledges, and unfettered by any other restrictions
than those which are imposed by the Federal Con-
stitution.

Meeting Of Fillmore wings.

A meeting of the Constitution Hall Whig Gen.
Cral Committee of New York was held on Tuesday
evening in that building.
The meeting was called to order by the Presi-
dent, Horatio Reed; after which George Dean said
the object for which II had been convened was to
take measures for the ratification of the nomina-
ton of Mlard Fillmore by the Philadelphia Con-
vention. This, he said, was rendered particularly
necessary in consequence of the bolt which had
been made by number of the delegates at that
Convention,
Mr.. Quals, Of Virginia, said that there was no
man his State would more delight to honor than
Millard Fillmore, and he pledged its earnest and
faithful support to secure his election.
motion was made that the committee direct
one gun to be fred to-day in the Park, at five
o'clock, for every vote which was given in the
American Convention for Millard Fillmore. The
motion was adopted, and a committee of five ap-
pointed to carry it out
This motion was reconsidered, and another
adopted in favor Of firing one hundred.
The meeting then adjourned.

served.
The South especially should congratulate herself
upon having presented for her suffrages at such
time as this so full of peril to her peculiar instttu.
tons a gentleman and a Statesman, who, as IN the
past viii be ever ready in the future TO protect
her in all her rights, and shield her against the
shafts of Northern fanaticism. The warmest and
firmest friend of the Compromise measures of $780,
Mr.. Fillmore promptly affixed bis signature to the
Fugitive slave law and during his entire term Of
office, willingly exerted all the power with which
he was invested to promote its faithful execution
The South warmly commended his conduct then,
and wished to testify her gratitude afterwards by
honoring him with the Presidential nomination IN
1852. An opportunity is now offered for her TO
redeem her obligations TO and signalze anew her
confidence in him. Aud will she not do IL? We
need not put the question, believing as we do,
that che win rally around the standard Of Milard
Fillmore with earnestness and enthusiasm which
will proudly reinstate him in the high Office he has
already filed with such signal ability, honesty and
devotion.
OfMr. Donelson, the nominee of the Philadelphia
Convention for the Vice Presidency, we have
but little space to speak. Suffice it, however,
that he is acknowledged on oil hands to be a
gentleman of great worth and ability and emf
nentIy fitted for the duties of the office for which
he ia a candidate. Andrew jackson Donelson is
his name-the nephew we believe, perhaps the
adopted son, of "0ld Hickory" and was the pi-
vate secretary of General jackson during his Pres
idency. AS might be readily inferred from his
name, he has always been consistent Democrat,
until the last twelve months or two years, since
which he has been jealous and efficient member
of the American party, and took a prominent and
active part in the last canvass in Tennessee in be-
half of its principles. But more hereafter.
Determined to engage heartily in the canvass
ourselves, we appeal to the Whig and American
party of the State to buckle their armor afresh,
| and go boldly and nobly to work. 1t would in
deed be proud and auspicious day for the coun-
try should we succeed once more in elevating the
well-tried pure and incorruptible Fillmore to the
Presidency of this great and at present dscordant
republic. His Inauguration as President would al
most without doubt inaugurate new and long era
of peace, concord, general confidence, and general
prosperity. Faction and fanaticsm would die out,
and the Constitution and the Union would be safe.
Let the party then organize thoroughly, and let
all hands go to work in earnest and, whether we
carry Virginia or not, that's neither here there
Well just try-that's all.

AMERICAN NOMINATIONS.
OPINIONS OF THE PREsS.
From the Eatiotal Intelligencer.
The phiIadeIphia Nomination,

Our paper yesterday informed our readers of the
nomination made at Philadelphia of candidates for
President and Vice President of the United States
by the Convention Of the American party, namely,
Millard Fillmore for President, and Andrew Jack
son Donelson for Vice President. AS we are not
members of that party, we should conceive that
we had no right to find fault with its selection
it in any respect Objectionable; So perhaps it is
not particularly incumbent to praise its choice,
free as it not only is from exception, but fit and
proper, and worthy as everybody knows the dis
tinguished citizen to be whom the party has chosen
as their candidate for the Presidency What course
the Wings may pursue under the present political
circumstances OF the country, what candidate they
may select, or what person they may support for
the Chief Magstracy il is not for us to decide, or
for any now to say. Ii will doubtless be deem
ed proper by them to take counsel together as TO
the path which their duty to the country and to
their principles shall prescribe, and that path we,
as unwavering adhsrents of the party, shall be
prepared to tread without hesitation and without
| taltering.
Whether they shall resolve upon an independ-
ent course or not, and whether it lead to success
failure, belong to the future; but we should be
unfaithful to our known sentiments and uniform
avowals if we were to suppress now the expression
of our opinion of the merits of Mr. Fillmore, and
the confidence with which, on trial, he inspired
the country in his qualifications for wise and safe
and conservative President.
| Of the respectable gentleman whom the party
has placed on their ticket for the Vice Presidency
we are less qualified to speak He is man Of tai
ents and of some experience in public affairs, hay
ing represented the country abroad both at Berlin
and Frankfort. He was member OF Gen. Jack
sons family, and once leading member of the
Democratic party, but his career has been marked
by great political independence, evincing integrity
| and patriotism.
