vention have found man moro worthy
the second office in the gift of tie peo-
plef The nephew of Andrew Jackson.,
his private secretary, executor and
confdant--with talents, wisdom and
energy--an ardent advocate Of Ameri-
cans ruling American Southern man,
but warmly loving the Union-where
IS the American thatscan refuse to give
HIM his feryent and hearty support?
In connection with his nomination tho
lntelligencer of yesterday calls atten,
ton to remarkable and heart moy.
ing fact"-that prominent among the
members who, nominated this old rela-
tive of old Hickory was Thos. Hart
Clay, eldest son of the sage of Ash
land. Who can hesitate when the
blood OF Clay and Jackson mingle to
save the Union? The mighty battle
which severed them when alive is done.
Like tabled gods their mighty war
shook realms and nations in its jar;"
but now the strife is ended the green
clods of the valley co-cr both, and their
children unite for the perpetuity of
glorious common inheritance.
BsA The American State Council
of New Iork,in session at Canandagua,
Feb. %, unanimously
ResoIved, That this Grand Council
halls with the lvcliest satisfaction the
nomination of Willard Fillmore as the
candidate of the American party for.
President of tho United States ; that,
IN his tried craftsmanship and patriot
lc integrity, and his devotion to the in
forests of the entire people, we have
the surest guarantee of his fitness for
the high position for which he has been
named; and that VIC cordially and ear
ncstly commend him to the American
electors of the Empire State as emf
nently worthy of their suifra ges, which
we doubt not he will most cordially re-
ceive. ". .... .... "a,
Re$olred, That in the nomination of
Andrew jackson Donaldson, of Tonnes
see, for the office of Vice President of
tho United States, we recognize pa
trlot and statesman of the Jeffersonian
and Jacksonian school and that, in the
language of his illustrious predecessor,
"By the powers of Sam, re will elect
him - -.
Nine hearty cheers were given for
each nominee, followed by the thunder
of 100 guns. .. ... f..
| In New York city 100 guns were
fired; enthusiasm prevailed for our
nominees; and the largest Geo. Law
Club in the city has changed its name
to the "National American Associa-
ton" and enlists its valiant host under
the Fillmore & Donaldson flag.
At Washington city the anti-Amcri-
cans were startled by the thunder peals
OF cannon after cannon until 100 guns
had greeted the news of the nomination
Of Fillmore and Donaldson. Pierce
stock had no buyers in market, and
holders 'lot down to merely nominal
rates; Black Republican stock fell 90
per cent; while SAM, joyous and full
or enthusiasm, smiled placidly at be-
holding the elongated visagcs of the
wo-bcgone Pierceocracy!
