NoNIEArIoN FOR PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR -
writer in tho Diamond State nominntes Willard
Fillmore as the candidate of the American party for
the Presidency in 1860, and James S. Buckmaster.
Of Kent county, as the next candidate for governor
we are opposed to early nominations, particularly
Tor the Presidency, as we dc not know what NAV
turn up in the next four yeRrs. There are few
who stand higher with US than Willard FilImere
and we regard Mr.. Buckmaster as one OF the most
poPular men IN the state. He is jovial, whole
souled man, and will get a large vote whenever be
may come before tho people. In fact no could not
be beaten, unless In tornado like that we have mai
passed through.
A NEW oRaAN.-The congregation connected with
the Second Presbyterian Church in this city. have
procured splendid organ the largest in our State

citizens are invited Ohe Of the most skfu
in the country will preside at the organ which fact
taken in connection with tho reputation Of tho nam
beIs OF the choir renders any eulogy at our hands
entirely super auous. We were present at a rehearsal
in the church, on Saturday evening" when wo were
not only pleased, but delighted. Go and hear them
BARN BURsr.-The barn on the farm of James
Foote near Mecannon's meeting house, was burnt
down en- Saturday morning. There had been none
otthe family out before the light was discovered

there in the night. There were some $50 busheIs NJ
corn on the barn floor, beside wheat hay straw ID
which were consumed with the adjoining corn oribs
