SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

Inc infeftseacer says of the nomination of
Mr.. Fillmore by the Nnow Nothings:
I'VE are not members of that party. we
should conceive that we had no right to find
fault with its selection were it in any respect
Objectionable 30, perhaps, it 10 not particu-
larry incumbent on us to praise its choice, free
as 1t not only is from exception, but fit, and
proper, and worthy as everybody knows the
distinguished citizen to be whom the party
has chosen as their candidate for the Presi-
dency. What course the Wings may pursue
under the present political circumstances of
the country, what candidate they may select
or what person they may support for the Chief
Aagistracy, it lie not for US to decide or for
any one now. to say. 1t will doubtless be
deemed proper by them to take counsel to-
gether as to the path which their duty to the
country and to their principles shall prescribe,
and that path We, as unwavering adherents
OF the party, shall be prepared to tread with
out hesitation and without faltering. Who
ther they shall resolve upon an independent
course or not, and whether it lead to success
or failure, belong to the future but we should
be unfaithful to our known sentiments and
uniform avowsls if we were to suppress now

Mr.. Fillmore, and the confidence with which.
on trial, he inspired the country in his quail.
hcations for a wise, and safe, and conserya-

The Union quotes the Pennsyivanian upon
the subject Of the relations of Mr. Buchanan
with the British ministry, as follows:
1--WE are well persuaded, says the Penn.
sylvanian, that all the late statements of the
English press, in reference to Mr. Buchanan's
personal course on the questions at issue be-
tween Great Britain and the United States,
are either wilful fabrications or ignorant mis-
representations. The fact that these state
ments have been adopted on this side of the
Atlantic, and have occasioned a good deal of
uneasiness in all circles, has induced us to
make inquiries, and the result is our full con-
victiOn that they are equally unfounded and
absurd.
" 1t is not true that Mr. Buchanan has had
high words with Lord Clarendon, on either of
the two questions at issue between England
and the United States.
'Of course it is not true that because of
these alleged high words Mr. Buchanan failed
70 attend Lady Paimerston's reception.
"And, finally, it is not true that Mr. Buc.
hanan has conferred with Sir Henry Bulwer
as to the settlement of the Central American
question.
The relations of Mr. Buchanan with the
present England ministry do not lead US to ex-
pect that he will be called upon to demand
his passport. The frmness and decision of
Mr.. Buchanan in the difficulties now existing
between this country and Great Britain have
never been abatec, nor are they manifested in
that spirit which would pre,ipitate war with
cut FIRST exhausting all the methods that would
continue an honorable peace"
