The Nomination of MIR. Fillmore.

The profound wisdom which induced the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Fillmore for the Presidency is becom-
ing more and more apparent every day. At the
time it was made, many timid persons said it was
made too early. But the experience of the last
six months proves that ii was not.
When that nomination was made, the good ship
Union was at sea, with an incompetent comman-
der, and a drunken crew-drunk with fanaticism
and all the vile passions which it engenders and
utterly powerless to navigate her into safe har-
Dor. There were breakers under the lee reefs on
the starboard and larboard and, right ahead. the
waste Of waters, merciless and fathomless, rolled
its angry waves. And there she still remains. In
such terrible emergency, COOL sagacious, honest
and experienced pilot can alone save the ship from
total wreck.
The Americans, inspired by the dangers Of the
crisis, nominated Millard Fillmore for the post
His nomination was warmly endorsed by good and
true men in every State of the Union, as the only
man in the nation who combined oil the qualifica
tons required for the discharge of its onerous du.
ties. He was the pilot who had already weathered
the storm, and what he had done before they we're
confident he could do again.
A few months passed away, and the Demo
Gratis" tried their hand at the nomination Of pilot
They selected James Buchanan, an old Pennsylva-
MA landsman, whose recent clumsy attempts ir

stranded the good chip Union on the rocks Of o.

Politics-The Skies Frightening.

No journalist can avoid discussing politics just
now, even were he so disposed. Everybody is
talking upon the subject, and everybody is eager
to hear what others say upon the theme. For our
own part, We feel less averse than we were three
weeks ago to discourse upon upon the topic. for
we deem the prospects Of the conservative and
patriotic candidate whom we desire once more to
see in the Presidential Office, much more hopeful
and promising than they then we're. The dis
heartening cry that |" Fillmore cannot be elected
is dying away before the increasing demonstra-
tons in his favor and the proofs that the feeling
of confidence in him, though not vociferously ex-
pressed or loudly boosted OF, lies deep in the
hearts OF the American people. The question is
no longer "can Mr. Fillmore be elected ?n but
shall he be electedp" And now that the popu-
lar sentiment has reached that point the desirable
solution of the question is comparatively easy.
MIR. Filmore's strength is shown in this that the
reflective element in the American character ia in
his favor; and having successfully withstood the
fierce assaults upon him by his opponents design
ed to drive him from the contest the issues he
represents are fairly before the people. The dust
of the first charge made by the Republicans and
Democrats having cleared away, the people can
now see, and take time to reflect upon the princ-
pies he represents 1t is fortunate thing for him,
as candidate, and for the people in view of the
danger of rash or precpitate action, that all
the nominations have been made so early. The
strength Of such men as Millard Fillmore, and of
those conservative principles which he represents
lies not in clamor, vehemence and loud protesta-
tons, but in the power of waiting until those sub
side, and the people have both tho disposition and
the time for reflection. Had the election taken
place within month of the nomination, the prob
ability, we freely admit is that Mr. Fillmore would
have been defeated, and Mr. Buchanan elected
The opposite result is probable now, for the people
have time for sober second thought, and the voice
Of conservative patriotism can obtain hearing.
When a patriotic people are constrained, oy
their own convictions Of what Is right and Just
and likely to be beneficial to their common coun-
try, to acknowledge that one out OF three cand-
dates for their SURFACES is more eminently than
the Others fitted for the Office he seeks, they
will If time be allowed for such convictions
TO work their legitimate results, disregard minor
differences and throw their willing and hear
ty support in favor of that candidate. II is just
so IN the case of Mr.. Fillmore Every week al
lowed for reflection is addition TO his strength.
The last two or three weeks have demonstrated
this 1t isappsrent everywhere--North and South,
East and West Mr. Fillmore is gaining open sup
porters in all directions and the Democratic and
Republican candidates are losing the popular ia
vor and sympathy In proportion, Of necessity.
Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1856-07-23

And this IS natural just What We have expected
from the first Men cannot always be expressing
their conviction that such man is the best man
for the Presidency, without at length asking them
selves then why do not openly ayow INV prefer
ence and support him And they are answering
the inquiry in the way every noble nature must
by conforming their action to their convictions.
And this strength ill grow upon Mr.. Fillmore
up to the very time Of bis election, when we hope
10 see Il eliminate in his election TO the Prcsden-
tai chair. That will be glorious result for this
Republic. Justice will then be done to all The
storm OF agitation will be hushed. Harmony will
De restored at home and peace abroad The be-
loved institutions of our land will be fostered and
strengthened, The bond of the Union will be
drawn tighter Its deiences viii be consolidated
and made impregnable, and out Of all the present
confusion and peril, proud temple of prosperity
will arise. To secure this glorious result lei eve.
ry friend of the Union, of freedom, Of domestic
tranquility, of universal peace, labor heartily and
diligently to convert to the true conservative faith
every fellow citizen within the reach of his voice
and influence and then all will be well.

A DEMOCRATIC 0FFIcE-H oLDER.-A California
correspondent states that Sam White, who shot a
police officer lately in Sacramento, was genteel
kid glove gambler, and came near being elected,
two years since, to the Legislature, by the Rose
water wing of the Democratic party. Sam was the
financial agent of Belle Cora in the late Cora trial.
and principal witness for the defence. The
question was asked him by the Court: "What Is
your business ?" He answered ~ am copying

get your appointment Gin October last" "Do
you spend your whole time thereY" 81 don't

"Don't think have" "Have you spent twenty

The Fredonia Advertiser repeats the statement
that Fremont was a candidate for nomination at
the hands of the Democrats at Cincinnati. We
quote:
We have before stated, and we now repeat that
Col Fremont had emissaries from California and
elsewhere to attend the Cincinnati Convention, to
press his claims in the event of the favorable con-
tingency anticipated to occur, by reason Of DEM
ocratic disagreements. One of these gentlemen
admitted to a friend of ours, that he came from
California to assist Mr.. Fremont to nomination !;
that he was instructed to attend the Cincinnati
Convention, and wait Mr.. Fremonts chances
there; that he was also to attend the subsequent
Boiling American and Republican Conventions if
Mr.. Fremonts interests rendered it necessary
This gentleman, who was an intimate and devoted
friend of Mr. Fremont solemnly averrcd that
Mr.. Fremont was no more Of Black Republican
than he was himself, and he was a Hard-shell
