Yesterday, We published extracts from speech by
Mr. Buchanan Democratic candidate for the Presi-

Gen. Scott in which Mfr. Fillmore was spoken Of in

Fillmore we took pleasure in calling their attention

by reading the deliberately expressed views Of such

Now for another distinguished Democratic endorser
! Of Millard Fillmore. The Hon. John b Ward, Of
Georgia was the President of the Cincinnati Demo
cratic National Convention, which nominated Mr.
Buchanan, manufactured the platform OF principles
and started the Presidential canvass. Some years
since, Mr.. Ward was Mayor of the city Of Savannah
During his occupancy of that Office Mr.. Fillmore made
| his Southern tour, which was perpetual ovation
fron, its beginning to its termination most Of
readers will remember As the chief magistrate of q
beautiful and prosperous Southern city, Mr.. WARD
was appropriately selected as the organ TO formally
welcome the ex-President, whom the people every
where, without distinction Of party, then cordially
welcomed. That he did 50 in eloquent truthful and
unqualified words Of commentator, the subjoinei
language Of his address positively demonstrates.
Said Mayor Ward:

/ We5have no comments to make upon the foregoing
We regard Mr. Fillmore as among the first, best ant
most loyal Of living statesmen but with this feeling
strong upon u.s. have words to add to the eulog,
pronounced upon him by the President of the Cincin
natl Democratic National Convention. Ali we woult
ask Of a Buchanan editor or orator, under any cir
| cumstances would be to read the above address o
Mr. Ward before assauIting the character, or depre
ciating the claims Of Mr. Fillmore before the Ameri
4 can people,
| With Mr.. Buchanan as a valuable endorser, ant
with the chief officer Of the convention which nomna
ted him as eulogist, it seems to us the friends
Mr.. Fillmore are warranted in calling upon every
honest and intelligent man in the Union to rally
around his standard, and bear him into the White
House with unanimity which has no parallel in oul
political history.
