Of our country The New York Express, one
Of the leading commercial journals in the Uni

the very man, in these trying and critical times,
| 70 preside over all parts Of the republic, with
justice and equity for all, and with firm hand
to reform and redress any wrong that may be

N. York Journal of Commerce, neutral sheet,
with national democrats as editors and pro-

a man Of talents and of some experience in pub

abroad both at Berlin and Frankfort. He was
a member of general Jackson's family, and
once a leading member of the democratic par
ty, but his career has been marked by great
political independence, evincing integrity and
patriotism No paperin the Union is more ca
pable of Judging of a politicians qualifications
and talents than the National Intelligencer.-
The Richmond IVA Dispatch, neutral, says:
'sThe nomination of Mr. Fillmore for the
presidency Of the United States, has been re-
a1~oIh v Ic;, f.,
Is we can ascertain, with great enthusiasm 1t
S beyond our province to intermedde in poli-
cal matters, but as chroniclers of the events of
he day, we may be permitted to say that we
lever knew a nomination to give more satisfac-
ion to party. All parties agree that it was
be very best nomination the American party
ould have made. Mr.. Fillmore is statesman
It eminent ability and experience, of highly
Conservative character, and whoever may be
rought out by the democracy will find in him ;
foeman worthy of their steel'' .--
