QUIZ rrczxET: TzzE RESPONSE.


rywherc received with the livelicst OK
pressions Of qualification, and from the
four quarters of the Union comes one
united, enthusiastic, jubilant shout of
applause for Fillmore and Donaldson.
The American party, by their nomina-
ton, has been united, harmonzed and
imbued with q well founded hope of
triumph. We CLEAN few extracts,
from our late papers, showing the spirit
and unauimity with which our ticket
is hailed:--
The Baltimore american Democrat
says;-"By these nominations, party
malice and vituperation is hushcd, and
the mouth Of political SANDER shut
The masses Of the country, the people,
they who like the air, are seldom heard,
save when they speak in voice of
thunder, will send back ashout of APP
-proval and joy to the selection of the
National American Convention, and
mere politicians and spoil seekers who
would utter word Of dissent, will be
crushed before them as an elephant
tramplcs down cane brake"
n contemporary during the sitting Of
the Convention said =" a man is
wanted whose character, history, ante
cedents, principles and associates are
known, fixed and universally popular
a man who will inspire confidence and
~:n support, with or without u plat
form--a sensible, matter-of-fact con-
scrvative practical go-ahcad man. -
-uch a man is Willard Fillmore. With
h.s name on our banner no man can
doubt Of success b; with him the day of
battle is the day of victory.
The american Organ at Washing
ton, says:
I" 1t is but sufficient to present their
names TO tho American people to insure
success. Willard Fillmore, the model
Statesman, the well tried, true and
trusty patriot, tho modest and unassu-
ming man, beloved and honorcd by all,
cndearcd by the nearest tics to the A.
mcrican heart has been selected as the
standard-bcarcr of the American party
in the coming contest. We hail this
nomination with unmingled Joy. lie
is the man for the times. He is a man
of stern integrity, Of unyielding pa
triotism, and of unninching devotion
to the " Union, now and forever, one
and inseparable."
And who is Andrew Jackson Donal
sou? The only living preventative
Of " Old Hickory" lie was in his
early youth the frcside companion of
the Hero Of New Orleans. his private
secretary during the entire Presidential
term Of President Jackson, graduate
Of West Point, and Minister to Berlin.
He is Union man, and abandoned
the support ofthc Pierce administration
because of its dis,mion and sectional
Vows and sentiments. lie is "chip
Of the old block" and as near Jack
son as a man could be; possessing the
indomitable will Of the " Old Hero"
and the native modesty and honesty of
Andrew Jackson.
"Thesc are tho standard bearers of
the great American party. Let us do
our duty, and there will be no doubt of
our success.
The st. Louis Evening American
holds this jubiIont language:
Welleard the Eagle scream and felt
tho wild thrill Of JOY that vibratcd to
every national heart in the Union, as
tho nomination of Fillmore and Donal-
son was borne on the lightning wing.
The most national man Of all national
men is nov the candiduto Of the only
national party for the Presidency of the
United States. With the name of Mil.
lard Fillmore, we have no fears of the
result. North, South, East and West,
national mon must uhitc upon him.
Language utterly fails us to express
the deep heartfelt satisfaction we feel
ut the final action Of the National
Convention.
