The Cincinnati Enguirer, the leading or
gan of the democracy Of Ohio, states that
the Fillmore Americans in Hamilton coun-
ty out number the Black Republicans. Our
information is that the genuine Fillmore
Americans are thoroughly organized, and
are quite confident that they will be able to
carry the State. Buchanan has no chance
whatever-the struggle will be between the
National Americans and Black Republi-
cans. The Ohio Statesman, democrat, print
ed at Columbus, in late number said:
ave learn from several gentlemen, well adj
vised 10 the premises, that in many counties
where it was hoped that Mr.. Fillmore would
be repudiated by the councils, the order are,
on the contrary, almost unanimous for the
Ware organization. Ia one large and leading
county, in particular, carried heretofore by the
Know Nothings every since their organization,
and where the anti Fillmore schismstics hoped
20 make u success fol stand, we are assured
there will be hardly single council ifone, In
which the Philadelphia nominations and plat
form will not be ratified"

The American Electoral Ticket for TN
State at Large.

The American Electoral Ticket for the
State at Large.
We place at the head Of our columns to-
day, the first name on our State Electoral
Ticket-that of the Hon. NELL S. Brown,
of this city. In another column will be
found his letter in reply to the note inform
ing him of bis selection. The party through
out the State viii hail this announcement
with peculiar qualification, and rise from
the perusal of his noble letter with increased
admiration for q favorite, who has always
held high place in their regard. BY this
act Of personal sacrifice, Gov Brown has
renewed his already heavy claims on the
gratitude Of his political friends. With but
a feeble state of health, and to the neglect
of private concerns demanding his entire
attention, at the call Of his party for his
services, he promptly presents himself, in
the language of the glorious cheftain whose
banner he bears, without waiting to in
quire of its prospects of success or defeat"
In him the American party Of Tennessee
repose their leadership with the utmost con-
fdence in his ability to conduct the struggle
TO a victorious cOnSummatiOn. Since 1886,
every Presidential contest in this State, with
perhaps but one exception, has found him
foremost in the ranks of the successful par
ty, dealing his lusty blows with terrible ef-
feet on the opposing squadrons. This year
he enters the lists as the leader in another
triumph. The battle before him will be
holly contested, but it is not doubtful. The
indications are even now suspicious that
Tennessee, as in the five preceding contests,
will range herself among the band of con-
sentative States, whether their number be
few or many. In 80 and 80, she had but
few to share the honor with her, in 40 and
'4S a majority were with her, and in the
memorable struggle of IA her victory was
a doubly proud one, from the spirit and
vehemence with which it was contended
for, and in the fact that she rejected one
of her own sons in winning it. In 1856, we
repeat she will be true to the renown of
former days, and any public man may well
pride himself that he has been chosen as
the chief instrumentality. Gov Brown will
exert every energy of his nature, physical
and mental, and will be prepared in a few
weeks to enter on the labors of the can
VaSS.
His colleague on the ticket has been Sc
lected, and will be announced in few days

Saturday evening, l4th inst, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted

ton, the acceptance of Mr.. Fillmore OF the nomina

that we will use every fair and honorable means
from this time until November next to procure his
success.

Cincinnati Democratic Convention as eVdencing an
utter abandonment Of SoutherE Rights by Demoo-
racy and deserves the unqualified condemnation Of
every conservative Union-loving American.
Resolved, That we consider the National Ameri.
can Party as the only political organization that
holds the true doc trnes that should be incorpora-
ted in the administration of our government, and
as such, we should use our most untiring exeEtons

Resolved, That request every member Of our
party in Rutherford county, to labor diligently for
the dissemination of our doctrines.
Resolved, That we recommend the Hon. Neil S.
Brown 10 the State Executive Committee as Elector
foe the State at large, TO fill the vacancy Occasionod
by the declension Of Hon. J. s. Brien.

The PeopIe,s bank of Kentucky.

On Monday, the second inst, in accordance
with the provisions of the Charter the books
for subscription Of stock in this Bank were
opened, and in a very short time the whole
amount of the capital stock, $250,000, was
taken-mostly by citizens of Bowling Green
and the county of Warren, the balance in
different parts of this State, except few shares
by one or two CT tizens of Nashville, Tennessee
We are oredibly informed that the principal
stockholders are not only gentlemen of the
highest respectability, but eminently qualified
to conduct such an institution with credit 10
themselves and in the most satisfactory man
ner to the public generally; hence we bespeak
for the Peoples Bank bright and prosperous
career.
After the stock had been taken, few dis
appointed individuals, prompted, doubtless, by
selfish and mercenary motives, but ostensibly
actuated by desire for the public good, Great
ed no little disturbance, by their denunciatons,
as TO the manner in which the stock was sub
scribed-very common nowadays. They even
went so far as to get up what they termed an
indignation meeting, where eloquent and phil
anthrOpic speeches were made; and passed re-
solutions expressive of their (envy) feelings.
We would not be so much disposed TO re-
mark upon this movement of the woUld-be
people lTlenus, IOT the LhoeVihS was OuihPOseul
in part, of gentlemen for whom we entertain
the highest regard aud indeed, We have no.
thing to say against any of them, were it not
the fact that many of them are at this time
Directors in that old lordly institution, the
Bank of Kentucky, the friends of which, it is
well known, resorted to every means in their
power, last winter, to defeat the passage of the
bill authorizing the Peoples Bank, but having
most signally failed in their efforts to do so,
are the first to come forward with their bags
of coin, fresh from the old bank vaults, and
list OF proxies to subscribe the stock, and ali for
the good of the dear people, White's Louis.
