AMERICAN NOMINATIONS.
OF THE PRESS.
From the Richmond American.
The Nominees.

Inc nominees
Never, for one moment, has our faith in the
fidelity of the American party to the Constitution
and the Union wavered. At no time during the
prevalence of vague reports in relation TO the ex
element and confusion in our nominating Conven-
ton could we allow ourselves to doubt, that when
nomination should be made, the candidates pre-
sented would be such as true and patriotic men in
every section of our beloved Republic would be
proud to support. Our confidence has been fully
vindcatcd by the news received to-day of the NOM
inaton of the gentlemen whose names we place at
our masthead
On the public character OF Milard Fillmore, and
his claims to the confidence and hearty support OF
all who appreciate the blessings of vigorous, pure,
and conservative administration of the Federal
Government, it would indeed be work of super
erogation to expatiate The history of the period
during which he our President presents stri-
king contrast to the yenality and corruption which
characterized the Democratic administration from
which the country was relieved by the election OF
| l84S, and which resumed their sway when the
| present Executive assumed the rens of govern
| ment. So ably and SO patriotically, indeed, did
| Mr.. Fillmore discharge the duties appertaning to
| the Presidency, that whilst sense of the injus-
| tice which they deemed had been done him, rather
! than any want of confidence in the patriot hero
who received the nomination, kept back many
Wing from a Jealous support of the Scott ticket in
1882 Democratic journals and orators at the South
were lond in their reprosches against what they
] called the abandonment Of man who had in the
hour of need proved true to the constitution and
4 the Union.
/ OF Mr. Donelson, we will not speak at present,
except to say that he was of the first to assist
in raising the standard of the National American
Party, which he supported up to the hour of his
nomination, with eminent ability and untiring zeal.
Originally Democrat, the private secretary OF
Gen. Jackson during the whole of his administra-
ton, and brought up at the feet of that democratic
Gamaliel; he had many ties both of interest and
association to bind him to the party which still
processes to adhere to the principles Of the patron
of his youth, and the friend of his maturer years.
But, disguised at the hollow professions and cor
rupt practices of the men in power and convinced
of the true patriotism and sound national prnci-
Piles Of the American party, he did not hesitate to
become one of us; by fighting gallantly in our
ranks he has fairly won the high distinction award
ed him by the nominating Convention.
We feel assured that the Americans of Virginia
win rally as one to the support of ticket so
eminently worthy of their enthusiastic exertion for
its success. United and enthusiastic effort is all
that is now needed to place the Old Dominion on
the list Of American States, and to insure a final
triumph:
"For triumph we must our cause 1t is just,
| And this is our motto In God is our trust"

THE AMERICAN CONVENTION.

The National Convention Of Americans have
done well, all things considered. The nomination
Of Millard Fillmore is the best they could have
made and that Of Andrew j. Donelson is not bad.
Mr.. Fillmore is thoroughly national, and when in
the Presidential chair on former occasion, gained
the confidence OF the whole country, always ex-
cepting the Abolitonists and their coadjutors. lie
win command large vote, but whether sufficient
10 carry him in, remains to be seen. This will de-
pend very much upon the character of the Demo-
cratic nominee yet TO be designated. They will
nominate good man, and very probably win elect
him. But, should they fail in this, il is some com
fort to believe that hfs place win be occupied by
SO safe, upright, judicious and worthy man ss

THIRTY-FOURT CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION. - 4...
SENATE.
FRIDAY, Feb. 30, 1855.

A message was received from the President
transmitting the answer of the President to the
resolution of the inquiry by the Senate, as to
whether the British government had ever offered
to refer the difficulties between that government
and ours From this message it appeared thatsno
formal offer to submit the difficulties between the
governments, to arbitration, had ever been made,
but that much conversation on the subject had
passed between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Buchan-
an, which was regarded by the British govern
ment as formal offer, but which was not so view
ed by Minister. 1t also appears that some rep
resentatons on the subject was made to the State
Department by Mr.. Champion in letter, dated
February ~, 1858. s.~ M
Mr.. SEWARD congratulated the country on the
more pacific appearance matters had assumed, in
an offer which it now appeared the British govern
ment had made, or intended to make to refer the
subject to arbitration. He would never consent
to our government offering TO refer the matter to
arbitration, but he did not think il derogatory to
the dignity of the United States to accept the Of
fer when made by England. He thought the mat
ter in good hands, and that the State Department
could manage without the assistance Of Congress.
Mr.. SEWARD then went into an elaborate con-
sideration of the correspondence on the English
nfraction of the neutrality laws, in which he seem
ed to take the view that England had made sufh-
cient apology for her conduct.
Mr.. PEARCE was not the advocate OF war. But
he did not think that Great Britain had rendered
sufficient or indeed any apology for her conduct.
Instead, he thought that the correspondence on
the subject showed that England was adding insult
to injury.
Mr.. MASON offered resolution, which was
passed, ordering the printing of 10000 copies of
this message, and the message concerning the in
fraction of the neutrality laws.

Col. KINNEY AND GEN. WALKER.-The Nicara-
guam government has declared the grant of land to
Colonel Kinney null and void, and all grants made
by him also null and void.
The following account of an interview between
Kinney and Walker will be read with interest:
About ten o'clock on Monday morning, as Gen
eral Walker was sitting at his table overlooking a
despatch from neighboring State, Colonel Kin
ney entered the room, and, advancing to the com
mander-in-chief introduced himself He was in
vited to take seat, which he did ; and as General
walker talks but little, and never during business
hours, on irrelevant matters the visiter was con-
strained to open conversation, which we give in
substance:
Colonel Kinney-The difficulties under which
we labor In forming peaceabIe government for
Nicaragua, may be consummated by dividing the
country and creating two States one Of which shall
be called Mosquito
General Walker-If Nicaragua chooses to divide
her territory she will do so without advising with
any one, and least Of all with Mr. Kinney.
The yisiter felt disconnected but he was not dis
couraged, as the result will show:
Col Kinney-I have come to offer my services
to the Republic, and feel confident my financial
ability will be of great benefit in the procurement
OF money, the negotiation of loans, and so forth.
l succeeded very well in such matters, in Texas.
Von. "aher-lour anteceuents preclude the
possibility OF the States placing you in any official
position.
Col Kinney was disarmed, and the interview
ended, with the impressive caution from General
Walker to his vsiter that he should be particular
IN his speech, Or ne might be guilty Of uttering
reasonable language.
Another interview was had In the afternoon, but
II was curt and ended in nothing.
But short space elapsed after the first inter-
view before orders issued to the officer of the
day,-that Mr. Kinney could not be allowed to
leave the limits of the city--he was prisoner to

Investigation as to the Cost of Public
Printing.

Mr.. Sherman of Ohio introduced resolu-
ton into the House of Representatives yester-
day, instructing the Committee on Public
Printing to ascertain the cost of the public
printing for the last four fiscal years. The
Sag NIGHTS squirmed at this resolution, but
they dared not to object, because an objection
would have been virtual acknowledgment of
some improper management They shrink
from an investigation into the corruptions Of
this administration. We hope the committee
will thoroughly investigate this matter; but a
committee which will give contract to man
at such price as will permit him to sell it out
for $4,000 clear gain, without ever having
executed any portion Of the contract, cannot
be relied upon to be very thorough in their in
vestigations. 1t is time this jobbing was ar
rested, and if the committee will but perform
half their duty, this will save to the govern
ment hundreds of thousands of dcllars.

From the New York Commercial

Mr.. Fillmore possesses in an extraordinary de-
gree the qualifications for the Presidential Office.
He is a thorough, conservative, national Whig
independent Of bis a1iliation with the American
party. He holds, in all their fllness, the doctrines
of the old line Wings His history, associations
and sentiments are Whig.
He has had experience in the office. He has
been President, and no man. since the days of
Washington, more worthily discharged the respon-
sible duties Of that Office, in time of rare per-
plexity, excitement and danger. We need just
such man in the present condition of public sf-
fairs.
He has no isms or crochets, or violent partisan
feelings or sentiments. He is an eminently sound
and conservative man. Least Of all is he tainted
with sectionasm. He will be President for the
whole Union.
he will have the confidence Of the South, while
he is not and never was pro-slavery man, nor will
he ever lend himself to slavery propagandsm. But
we rejoice to have a candidate on whom the South
and North can once more cordially unite. We are
sick of this spirit Of sectionalism-the geograph
ical distinctionsthis dividing Of Conventions and
other bodies on Northern doctrines and Southern
doctrines and we devote ourselves heartily TO the
support of Millard Fillmore in connexion with our
felow-citizens of the whole Union.
