reception of the Nominations.


Every davis mail@brings additional evidence OF
the unpopularlty of the Philadelphia nominal
tons with the American party at the North
They appear tobe repudiated every where, ex-
ceptln few quarters at the South and among
the defunct remains of silver grey whig bunker
ism at the North, that section of the old whig
party, Of which Henry J Gardner was the expo
nent in this State, when he labored hard as
sisting President Fillmore's boodhounds IN their
foray upon the State Sovereignty of Massachu =
sets, when Thomas Sims was surrendered up to
the slavehunters, in violation Of all Constitution
al or Divine Right. These appear to be the only
quarters where indications are manifested OF stand
ing by The Fillmore ticket. Whether he be whlg'
democrat, or American, makes bus little diner
ence with them, provided he be sufficiently steep
ed in hunkerism. That he is SO steeped' suii-
GENTLY to he the first choice of the ultra South,
we give another extract from that staunch
"American PRINT the Richmond Wig, printed
in the very heart OF the South, a tried champion
of Fugitive Slave Lavish, Nebraskaism, and
every other iniquity, which speaks OF Fillmore as
follows:
"The man who signed the fugitive slave law,
and did everything in his power when president
to have it faithfully executed, is not the man
whom the southern people " will ever fear to
trust. Not at all. But they will evince their
gratitude by supporting and sustaining him
against any and all competitors"
OF all the Northern States, New York would
naturally be likely to furnish the most numerous
supporters of Fillmore, the party in that State
being mostly composed of old Silver Grey hun
kers; but even there, we find strong disposition
manifested to bolt. The Albany State Register,
a paper always, from its start noted for its con-
servatism, and the last one expected to manifest
any anti slavery sentiment, much as it has apol-
ogized for its pro-slavery course heretofore can
not swallow quite so Infamous dose as is now
offered The Register is the organ of the Gamer
lean" party in that State, and utterly refuses
to support the Fillmore and Donelson ticket. 1t
heads leader with s1We cannot, and we will
not do it! and gives its reasons, after this forci
BILE style:
g By this nomination, we have not only been
harnessed party into the service OF faction,
but we have been committed to the propagandism
of slavery. We have got to hight the battles of
slavery-for embodied in the candidate, is what
ever of the slavery sentiment there is of the
North. He is committed to by his anteceients,
by the great leading features of his administra
ton. We have got to fight for the fugitive slave
law. We have got to sustain the abrogation of
the Missouri compromise, and the Kanzas and |
Nebraska bill. We compelled to stand in
defence of sQuatter sovereignty, and uphold the |
long catalogue of wrong and outrage which have |
followed the breaking down of the barriers against
the extension of human slavery. We have got |
to stand, from the beginning to the end of the |
campaign, side BY side with slavery propaganda
ism for we tell the American people that it was
that power, and that alone, which placed the nom
inee Of the American convention in his present
position"
The remainder of the Registers article is
couched in still stronger terms of condemnation
of the ticket, if possible and it enters, at great
length, into mastery showing up of the iniqui-
ty concocted at Philadelphia in forcing Mil
lard Fillmore upon the party as its Presidential
candidate. 1t declares that by supporting the
ticket g We haze gotto s,Oing from our american
saoorirgs into the service ofthe slauery propdgan-
d." which the Register declares it sciH not do
Stomach oF ibs s sser nc Gla eyth her
tion-soe haze had enough experience IN that aOay.
We have stomach for the battles of slavery,
and zoe soU not fight them"
AS specimen of the manner in which the
Philadelphia nominations are repudiated through
out the Great West, we give short extract from
the indianapolis Journal the leading American
paper of Indiana, which says:
Such ticket upon such platform means
simply that the slavery contest must cease
and as it 'front.' cease on the part of the prosave
ry men, the North must yield Wedon't believe
that the people of Indiana, after rebuking the
Nebraska swindle, and crushing its advocates,
will consent to stultify themselves by much dec
laration."
