cans and old line Wings are shaking the
dew drops from their garments and pre-
pairing in earnest for the contest. Some
of our correspondents in giving orders
for papers throw in words of thrilling
encouragement, which give vim and
earnestness to us soldiers enlisted in the
Fillmore and Donelson army.
We are assured that all is right. Our
friends have been reposing in conscious
security and strength, but they begin to
smell the battle afar off and are eager
for the fray. 1t needs but blast from
the great Union bugle to marshal the
patriotic conservative men of the whole
country under the Fillmore banner.
AS specimen of the spirit breathed
by our correspondents, we give the fol-
lowing extract of letter from genuine
old line Wing. We assure him Fillmore
stock is six per cent above par and ris-
ing daily in these parts
PATTERSON, Aug. 20, 1856.
Messrs. Editors rejoice to see that
your banner is again unfurled and wav-
ing proudly before the world, in behalf
of men and measures, well calculated to
excite the warmest sympathy and most
ardent support of all true patriots
whether "Americans" or old line wings,
native born or adopted citizens. I mean
of all who can appreciate patriotism and
the devotion to the Union which ami
mated the big souls of George Wash
ington, Henry Clay and Daniel Web
j ster.
From accounts from the East, pre-
vious to the last mail, |, with many
others had prepared to be content with
the hope Of electing Millard Fillmore
by the next Congress but now there is
a better prospect of his being chosen by
the people. Ifthe many evidences con-
tanned in the expression of public SEN
timent as given in the last Louisville
Journal and other reliable papers, are
not sufficient, let us find additional and
stronger grounds for hope in the course
of the present ignoble administrations
Its endorsement by the Cincinnati Con-
vention and adoption of a platform
which taken together would by with
drawing Fillmore ensure the triumphant
election Of j. G. Fremont, the most mar
row minded, sectional and incompetent
man ever offered to the American peo-
pie.
Consider the standing and position of
the present stultifed administration, the
national character of Fillmore, the evil
dence of his capacity in his late admin
istration. Read his late speech at Al
bany on his way home, and then read
only Fremont's letter of acceptance and
by it measure and weigh the man, and
say if we have not reason to hope for
Fillmore's election by the people.

literature from which we have had a
bountiful supply during the past week.
We return thanks for Harper and nu-
merous Atlantic and California papers.
