Dental Parties, Candidates and NJ NINA
ucEs.
IT il now us csr'aip as any political event
OF the future can De, that there will be three
PRESIDE nijal alni6aies in Inc field for the
peAt election.
Tie Know Notbings, or Americans, have al
res6y presented their men. Willard Fillmore,
tie associate of General Taylor In the contest
Oh the death OF the General, formerly whig,
and now the chief oil the national Know No
thines, has been selected as the standard beag-
er Of that parry. Mr.. Fillmore lie in every re-
gard most respectable man. Without having
shown msIked abilities, he has ever maintain
ed the character OF q gentleman, and as far as
we know, that OF an upright, fair man. As the
President or the United States, he did few
things justly sutjectipg him to censure. He
EFT office with the positive distinction of hav-
'rg strained at nothing, and with the repata-
ton Of patriotic chief magistrate. 1t is, per-
baps, to he remembered that Mr.. Fillmore's
administration was signalized by certain dis
fusion of the most prominent and distinguish
ed of our public men. Its undoubtedly true,
therefore, that Mr.. Fillmore enjoys certain
amount Of reputation tor extreme party
moderation which is borrowed from the
circumstances of the times in which bs
acted prominent part. Mr.. DOnelson, the
Vice Presidential candidate on the ticket with
Mr. Fillmore, is also highly respectable gen.
~tleman, and none the less known for his early
connection with General jackson.
The American party, thus arrayed in full
costume, are yet to form national cha-a cter
and exhibit their real purposes before the
country.
The Niger WoRsRIPPERs or black repub-
leans, are to hold their nssionSl convention
and make their nominations on the 17th of
June. They, too, are new corners, and if trey
succeed in exhibiting their real character and
purposes, there is q strong probability that
their leaders, instead of being elected to the
Presidency, will be tried and convicted OF
treason to the constitution. 1t is remarkable
fact, indeed, that the public mind Of 8 section
OF the country has become SO poisoned and
6ehased that formidable party Of NIGGEa
WoRsHlrPERs has been organized and is dis
pnting the election Of President and Vice
President with that old and at least respect
sole family, called the democracy.
There are at the head Of the phalanx Of Nc
GER WoRsHlpPERs about half dozen men
posted as car didates The effort now ID to fall
away from the old abolition stills and to give
the concern responsibility by the nomination
of Judge Mclean, Of Ohio, and John Bell, OF
Tennessee. This project signifies the con-
viction that the race is hopeless on the
bats Of the Niger WoRsHIPPERs' creed-ut-
ter hostility to slavery in every conceivable
shape; CT rather, perhaps, it is kind Of cog
n6st Of Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Chase, who retire
from the field becauze, like the people Of Kansa :,
they do not find the required number to effect
a complete organization. 1t is safe to say that
neither Seward nor Chase, nor any other per
son who asrires to honors higher than nom;-
nation will be put upon the course. Banks may
he used, Mclean may be used, Campbell and
Fremont may be used; but neither of these
last mentioned gentlemen could be nominated
for any other position than that of being can
didates. Ifsn election was possible Seward
would be the beneficiary.
On tie I'd OF June the democracy, which
stands alone as to antecedents, will present
their candidates. ct least they have in Il 9
field many names identified with the history OF
the republic names Of distinction all over the
world Ger. CASE, Mr. Buchanan, Ar. Dougla !
Mr.. Wise, Gen. Rutk, Mr.. Hunter Mr.. Dallas
all these gentlemen will have their friends c.
Cincinnati. Mr.. Pierce will also be there by
proxy; but we greatly fear that, failing to get q
rG-n oninstiop, he will be unable to 60 control
his friends as to confer that distinction upon
another. The truth is, Mr.. Pierce has had
very good luck. He was candidate With 1ut
a biography-a great man without history
He served his country so mcdestly that
no one knew how-and for these things he was
nominated and elected, and thereby the -
count IL thought to be squared Just of this no
nent &c is President, and the greatest service
which be car do for his country is yet before
hin,--that Of leaving the White House.
Il is now most probable, impressed and de-
graded alike by the exceedingly mortif5 :ug
failures Of the past, the democracy will pr !:
cent as their candidates men of the higbesI
character and known political experience and
probity, They are invited to do 50, hoo: enis
By their own past errors, but by the great folly
and madness Of their opponents. Justly rey
resented by able and worthy candidates, they
win be prepared to enter the LETS with y ny
promises Of success.
One thing ought to te considered that par
ties, ike irdividuals, are apt to feel buoyant,
and 10 possess, in truth, increased power " zen
suddenly relieved Of oppression Yhe tota!
extinction of the present administration will
60 far to revive the latent energies OF the
democracy, and concedirg that they are cbIc
at CinciDnati to unite upon respectable IN
they will have the Presidency closely corner
