The New York Commercial Advertiser thus al
ludes to the beneficial ELECT already produced by
the nomination Of Mr.. Fillmore upon the action Of
the Republican" party:
IL Is well understood that when Mr.. Fillmore was
last heard from, March 81, he had not received
Official advice Of his nomination. In 4 letter cf
that date 70 Mr.. Haven, he remarked, after m !.
gretting the necessity for 50 early nomination.
and that the choice had not fallen upon another,
!" am fully prepared for any sacrifice which il
may be necessary 70 make, and any responsibility
Il may be necessaryto take" The words are woi :
thy OF Milard Fillmore, and are like him. He
never hesitated at sacrifice for his countrys good,
or shrunk from respons biity that ofice imposed
upon him. And it Ii this nnboasting bat active
and selfdenyLg patriotism that has given Mr.. Ffll-
more such bold upon the hearts Of the American
people, and that have especially commended him
TO the rejecting, pescelovine ctisens Of the Union
Men know that Millard Film0re's patriotism Il not
in word only, but In very deed and Of truth thar
with him devotion TO country means something,
and that when intrusted with executive power, Il
will be welded nsishsr for personal exaltation nor
even with undue partisan preference but Nr the
Of fraternity and mutual good win throughout the
Union, and for the elevation Of the country q Q
prosperous example Of free government, before
the nations Of the world.
/ The nomination of Mr. Fillmore by the Ameri-
can party, and the general adoption of biz cause
by the Wings while still retaining their separate
organization, has already, beyond controversy,
proved wholesome check to the ultrs-sectioDal
spirit that was abroad prior to his nomination.
The Republican party at that day had no idea
OF nominating such conservative candidate as
Justice Mclean, or man 30 utterly without po-
litcal antecedents as Colonel Fremont. Nos only
have their tactics undergone an entire change
with reference to q Presidential candidate, but
their views Of the one question on which they
profess to stand, have been greatly modified; 20
modified, In fact, SO far as publicly ayowsd, that
the sole issue now contended for by their organs
is that Kansas shall be admitted as free State
Again and again do the Republican organs and
the Republican leaders assure the country that
this is the only issue they intend to fight upon.
On this they found their appeals to all men 10
drop their former political associates, be they
Wings. Democrats, or Know-Nothings, and unite
with them. The ground taken Is, that the Re-
prospect Of election, whatever his views on other
questions, If he is only IN favor Of the admission
Of Kansas as free State n 8g 4lf1s
AL other Planks of their platform are to be
thrown away, and only this retained. The men
who were essentially the anti-Slavery party, we
might say the Abolition party, who openly declared
that they would not con6ne themselves 70 opposing
the extension Of slavery, (for that had been Wing
doctrine, and, Il they meant no more, Il was most
impolitic to break up the Whig Organization, but
demand its destruction; who vowed that there
should be no peace TO the cocntry until the Mis-
souri Compromise was restored; who abused with.
out stint all men, and especially those Whigs who
would not subscribe to these heresies, and who
opened vials of unmeasured denunciation upon the
remnant Of the Whigs IL they hut dared 70 hint ct
giving the'r votes to an American or Democratic
oto to<{1x A~
sbAndoned those issues and openly proclaim their
readiness 70 cooperate with (nay, invite their aid
either Of the parties named, or any other. They
In Mct that, a. party, they are In
. powerless minority, and that their only hope of
succsss is in political amagamation, aud are cast
ing about with but poor success Tor candidates Who
shall be an illustration Of such amalgamasion.
1 We have not the sllghtsst doubt that the noui-
nation of Mr.. Fillmore has done much toward
compelling the Republican party TO this change OF
issue and Of position. The appeal TO the conser-
vatism and sobricty of the people, the calm con6-
dence with which that appeal was made, the re-
sponse that It met with, even though IL had the
taint OF Nothingism upon 1t, the deliberate
purpose evinced by the old line Wings Of this
State and BY many in other States, to aid in se-
curing his election, the promptness with which
the nationality Of The people felt and responded 10
the Domination-these warned the agitators and
disturbers Of the Union, and sectional men gene
rally, that notwithstanding the means taken to
establish sectional and geographical lines, and TO
keep up perpetual conflict between the ffee and
alave States the sober sense and abe Inherent pat
riotism Of the American people win evsrI revolt
from participation In any Attempt 10 elevate can
didate standing on such platform to the chief
magistracy Of the Union. Now that the sole point
Of dispute between the Republicans and the coun-
try is this single measure Of the sdmission Of Kan
sas as ftss Stste-a measure that time itself will
aco0mplish--ws have 4 strong hope that the peo-
pie Of the United States win turn gladly to man
for President, who brings to the o1acs such quail
