Long before tae nominations of Fillmore
and D0nelsop, large number Of the Pha-
lAnx journals of this State increasingly en-
.leavarel 10 establish that the American
party IN The Atlantic States was affiliated
With Black Republicunism: nut the antece-
dents of its nominees being conservative
and antagonistic to sectionalism Of all
stripes, the mouth-pioce of Phalanxdom,
with ahe smaller whelps following IN its
wake, ceased the bewailing howl Of -Ab-
olnonism and instituted others, which in
reality are rs frivolous and about as ludic-
rous as the story Of the man III the moon,
Unli) recently our consistent Phalanx CO.
tcnIporaries have lahorel unscrupulcusly
TO substantiate among Other things that Mr.
Fillmore never associated himself with tic
"order:' but, no sooner is this vague absur-
dity proven faliacious, than they, with a
remarkable degree Of unanimity, force the
conclusion that he will not do as its stand
uIO-DG~eIok III tuC CDoultlS NOAtOoG iCA tAN
highest Office IN the gift Of the American
people. Now, WE call this L bare-faced
aulaci1u5 assumption on the part of our
Pha,Anxa friends 1t is to be presumed that
the American party IS capable Of selecting

Democracr. II matters rot WHO is plac-
ed in nomination it is not expected he will
receive The support of other tLan his own

IN ton to laisa from The dead, esposse y
mericanism ard placed n Filmore's stead,
We are Grm i. The opinion he would receive
the yeromvus jeerS Of Plalanxdom, to-
tall hostile l. it to yer.fthing save its own
repravity.
The rh4lluxers have also arrived AT the
unwise conclusion that Mr. Fillmore viii
not accept the nomination So unanimously
and cordially rendered lin, and by so 10
ing take from, the American party it, only
prestige IF success. Cpon this hallucina-
tory foundation DO they build their hopes
of seeing it dissolve and 60 The way Of the
once powerful WhiE party. But they are
doomed TO disappointment in this as in al
other puerile hobbies heretofore resorted
to in order to disSever il. Its name is le-
gion, and being composed Of the intelligent
and legitimate portion Of the confederacy,
and it having chosen him as its beacon light,
and he having its confdence and profound
alteration, occupies a position too exalted
TO do otherwise tuan serve it in any capac-
ity it may desire, and should defeat ensue
from the combined Efforts of the "tag, rag
and bob-taiP' party yclept Democratic, he
will have the proud satisfaction of know
ing he has, "a in hygone days, discharged
his duty. But defeat is impossible. The
effulgent lays of his past career is too re-
Observation-Disclosures justice too unerring
in its aim 10 permit such an event The
halcyon days of his administration is too
indelibly impressed upon the minds of eve
ry lover of peace anu tranquility, to be SO
easily forgotten. Compare it with that Of
Pierces Almost simultaneous with his
succession to the Presidency, began the az
itation Of those elements Of discord which
were deemed happily settled forever, under
the Compromise measures of l850-neas-
ures which had secured peace to all sections
of the Union. Mr.. Pierce has endeavorpd
to favor both North and South and has fal-
ed Not so with Mr.. Fillmore. CAS- a
Northern nan, true and just, and fearless
in the discharge of all his duties, he has the
confidence Of the North, and his equitable
administration of the government from
1850 to 653. VOL for him the confidence
of the North"
We would a6monish our Phalanx cotem-
por4ries if they can produce any good and
sufficient arguments why Fillmore and Don
elson should not be elected, to herald them
forth, or forever withhold their splenetic
venol Perchance Pierce may be your
standard-bearer in the ensuing contest
therefore, lose no time in placing him as IA
vorably as possible before the people. He
is bitter pill, but You may be compelled
t. swallow him.
