So sIillard Fillmore, of New York, and
Andrew J. Donelson, of Tennessee, are the
candidates of the samerican Order" for
President and Vice President OF the United
States.
When this was written we were without
the particulars of the circumstances attend

suit, but we cannot refrain from congratu-
lating our readers and the country upon a
fact that speaks at once of union, harmony,
nationalism and success.

| Ii is enough foi us to say, at present, that
We proudly and cheerfully run mp the flag
of Fillmore and Doneson to the mast head
and shall give them our Jealous and cordial
support during the coming campaign. To
the Wings aud Americans of the South
Side, We say, let us organize for the fight
and do battle once more for the tried, hon
est national statesman. who has been ever
found true to the Constitution and the
Union. "Once more unto the breach, dear
friends, once norcf'
From the .7ugusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
The nomination OF Mr.. Fillmore, we are
sure will meet very cordial reception
throughout the South, among the American
party, and also with many who are not mcnl-
bers of the party. He has been "tried
in the balance anG not found wanting" and
the whole people of all parties have the
highest confidence in his integrity, and his
sound and national conservative principles.
/ Such man they delight to honor, and will
most chcerfully unite to place him at the
head of the government.
From the Hanterdon IN. u Gazette.
The Philadelphia Convention could not
in our judgment, have selected candidates
more acceptable, not only to the american
| Party, rs at present organized, but to the
great body of those who prefer to retain
the honored name Of WING. Since tbs
affective dispensation of Providence which
unexpectedly called Millard Fillmore to oc-
cupy the high position Of President of the
Uuited States no man, perhaps, in the Union
has been so firmly entrenched in the great
| Americen heart. His sound, practical con-
servatism-his clear comprehensive, patri-
otic views of National policy-hs apparent
desire, while occuying Presidetial Chair, to
administer equal and exact justice TO every
section of the Union-his well-known and
acknowledged strict integrity and conscien-
ciousness-have combined to give him a
hold upon the affections of the American
people which but few uen have possessed
since the formation of the American Re-
pubic. m thus proclaiming our prefer
ence, we believe that we reflect the views
of very large majority of the people Of
our adopted State, aud of those of three
fourths of the States Of the Union. We
expect tue bitter opposition, not only Of the
Loco Foco Party, but of sectionalists OF
"tigh aud low degree" yet with Millard
Fillmore as standard bearer, We expect to
triulnphantly override the handed forces of
fanaticisln, north and south. We ask no
pledges from our candidate past career
shows him eminently worthy Of the high
honor which has been conferred upon him,
and s guarantee sufficient, that If elected.
be will guide the Ship Of State clear Of the
shoals aud quicksands which sometimes seen
TO threaten her deetr,stion.
