Convention Of the anti Fillmore American boilers is
also, still in session in New York These two fac
tons, il In certain will unite upon the same
ticket Fusion and Fremont in all probability, will
be the common battle-cry Of both. And thus
shall have three separate and distinct party organ
zatons with their respective candidates, in the field
in the present Presidential contest
The course Of the George Law anti Fillmore sece-
ders takes man by surprise. They unadutc-
rated wooldyed Abolitionsts at heart and they arr
only preserving their consistency and carrying
their convictions in repuGiating a sound, national
man like Fillmore, and fusing with the Black Repub
licans. But the hypocrisy and mcanness of these
boilers unequaled in the party history Of the
times. At the Philadelphia Convention, year ago,

South than these INSCRIPTIONS and mercenary

the decision and accept the choice, fairly and egiti

and making themselves hoarse with the slang cry of

In contemplating the conduct Of these vile and mer
cenary hangers-on of George Law. we have no Ian
guage strong enough to express our adherence and
contempt Of them and their big bodied idol 1t is
some consolation to know however, that their pow

will receive but little injury from their treachery
and dishonesty. On the contrary, consider him
fortunate in having been relieved of the reproach o
being supported by unprincipleda faction.
And thus the fusion of these anti-Fillnore Ameri-

pleted in Philadelphia, to-day. 1t is not to he de
MED in view Of all the developments and indications
in the Northern States, that the Black Republican
organization, il prudent in the selection of ticket
will be most formidable in the present contest
The existing complication of affairs in Kansas and
recent occurrences at Washington have contributed
powerfully TO swell the tide Of Abolition excitement
and agitation, and have impaired new strength new

until they elect their President, I'LL Congress with
men Of their own stamp, and thus obtain complete
possession of the government, will they be prepared
to lay down their programme in all its length and
