AMERIoAN NoMINATIoN.

We give the following article from the Phila-
delphia North American, not as expressive OF
any views Of our own, nor as Indicative Of the
feelings Of the editors of that paper, but as
showing an impartial view of the manner in
which the nomination made by the American
party, has been favorably and unfavorably re-
ceived BY the Eastera and Northernpre From
it our readers Iil see that some presses, atleast
which were expected to hail the nomination of
Mr. Fillmore with joy, acceptit with no warmth
whatever, whilst others giveit the cold shoulder
fiatly. The nomination, which we must say is
the very best they could have made, has not
bcen received with that unanimity of feeling an
ticipated BY Mr. Fillmores friends
TnI AMERICAS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS
are variously received by the presses.of thatpar-
ty in the Northern States. Those newspapers
which have been heretofore knownas peculiarly
friendly 10 Mr. Fillmore of course greet the
ticket loyfully. Among these we may mention
the New York Express, Buffalo Commercial Adj
yertiser, and Troy Wing. The Albany State
Register, a paper originally established to pro-
mote Mr. Fillmore'S interests but latterly in ia,
yor of the nomination of George Law, repudi-
atcs the ticket Indignantly. The New YorkHer-
aid, which has steadily favored the American
movement, and advocated the nomination of
George Law, denounces the ticket, and treats the
idea of its-probable success aspreposterous. In
the great city of New York, the Express and
Commercial Advertiser are the only two infiu-
entail papers which support the ticket, and the
support Of the Advertiser isa mere acqiescence.
1t is as yet impossible to tell how the party in
New York will receive the ticket, but from ap
pearances it seems probable that portion of
the anti.slayery wing will bolt. In New Jersey
the Newark Mercury and Morristown Jerseyman
repndiate the ticket The Jcrseyman does not
know whether to treat it rs joke or as of seri-
Gus Importance, and says that there's nOta ghost
of n chance for Mr.. Fillmore. The Trenton Ga
zette does not support the nominations. Acon-
siderable section of the party in New Jersey has
been, and still is, strongly attached to Mr. Fill
more, hut this is mostly confined to the cities
In Pennsylvania the Pittsburgh Commercial
Journal and Daily Dispatch refuse to support
the ticket The Carlisle Herald treats it with
indifference; and says that the convention would
have acted more wisely to have postponed the
nomination to a latter period. Several promin-
ent and influential American Journals in the in
terror Of this State seem to be disposed to wait
and see the course Of events before under taking
to support the the ticket while others, such as
the LewiStown Gazette, and Mauch Chunk Ga
%ette, attempt to make the best Of the matter,
and hoist the ticket at the head Of their columns
The course Of the newspapers in this State will
he regulated to suit the action Of the local Ameri
can councils. The elements Of discomfort are
stronger in Western and Northern Pennsylvania
where no doubt the result will be the organize
ton Of q powerful Republican party. It is
mistake to suppose that Mr.. Fillmore isuot iden-
tilted with the American party or a supporter of
its principles. He was initiated into the mys-
teries of the secret order, although henevcr was
in any Of Councils. 4 committc was appointed
who waited upon him at his residence, and adj
miniStered the 0athS. Moreover a letter was
written by him, shortly after the election of Gov
ernor Clarke, to gentleman of this city and has
been extensively read in our local councils, en-
torsing in full the principles of the party, and
arguing at length in favor. of them.
InNew England, as might have been expected,
the nominations find many dissentients, The
BostOn Daily Advertiser, heightened conserva-
tive paper, has had a good opinion of Mr. Fill
more, and, under other circumstances, would
have rejoiced to see politician of his character
returned to the Presidential chair; but its re-
gard for him has been asa Whig-not as mem
Der of secret oath-hound political society.
Hence the Advertiser says, if ut shall prove
true as we regret to find it very confidently
stated, that Mr. Fillmore has entered a Know
Nothing lodge, and passed through the three de-
SASGS VI tuG SCClCb OAGSlb IaA1llS llSlucnL
0aths and obligations, We submit that he has
forfeited therespect of the intelligentand honest
people of the United States to an extent that
will make his clectionimpossible"
The Boston Journal halls the nomination of
Ar. Fillmore with pleasure. The Boston Trav-
eler praises the American platform, but says no.
thing Of the candidates. The New Bedford
Mercury thinks the ticket oughtto be supported
by the party. The Lowell journal and Portland
State Of Maine, advocate the nominees The
Boston Bee defers all remarks upon the merits
Of the candidates, but place their names at the
head of its columns The Charlestown, Mass,
Advertiser approves of the ticket. The Boston
Chronicle and Atlas, two influential American
papers, denouuce the nominations as unworthy
Of support. The Portland Advertiser repudi-
ates the ticket. A number of leading New En-
gland papers remain silent on the subject The
division between the American and Republican
parties seems likely to be as strong in that sec
ton as in the Middle States
