Fillmore i'm California

We copy the following cheering article
from the Sacramento California american
of the 4th Of August:
However iuauspiciously the Presidential cam
paign opened-or seemed 10 open-ior Mr. Fill
more, one short month has suiiiccd 20 brush away
"all the clouds that lowered DER his house, Be
fore his letter OF acceptance OF the Philadr phia
mination had reached New York from Paris, the
Buchanan and Fremont presses prophesied, most
Justify, that he would decline the proif-red hOuor
When the lie given TO this vain prophecy, by
his bold and manly letter, these presses fell back
upon another prophecy, and that was that, as soon
as he should reach New York, and see the poverty
OF his chances OF success, he would peremptoriy
decline the nomination. Well-he returned TO
New York, and was received by a popular demon
srasion, far eclipsng anything of a similar charac-
ter before enacted in that city, aud then these
B1chanan and Fremont wiseacres ventured third
prophecy, 10 wit, that, after looking about him aud
finding he had party, he would recall his letter
of acceptance and iucOntinenty retire irom the po
litical arena Wel-he has looked about him; and
his personal and political friends have hOcked
around him in myuads, declaring him the man Of
their choice, the man destined by Heaven to save
the American Union! Wherever be has shown
his face since he landed ct New York on the night
of the 22d Of last June, he has been met by hosts
him the only sure champion of the Republic. His
speech at Albany, which we published Yesterday,
which breathes the very soul Of the glorious days
OF Washington aud Jefferson, shows that he has
looked dbOa. him, and that he has no intention Of
banking the wishes Of the friends OF the Union
who look upon him, in the present crisis OF our
country, the sheet anchor Of their patriotic hopes
Fillmore is a candidate for the Presidency-a can
ddate under whose banner all the true Union lovers
Il lsl,. d.
Fremont prophets are left TO vince over the failure
of their predictions. Fillmore is n candidate

and be will 90 ia into the Presidential Chair on a
tide Of popular favor Ihat will set all precedent at
defiance.
A few DAYS ago we had occasion to chronicle
some demonstrations, 10 favor of Mr.. Fillmore in
the mountains of California. IL then seemed or
might have seemed, to a novice in politics, that
the Fillmore men in California only 10 be found
in the mining regions. But-"bchod what a day

have buckled their snnor and are doing yeo-
mems service in the cause OF the American Union.
Tbis letter will be found ia another column OF this
days American, and it's patriotic iervor will rouse
;he hearts OF mountain friends like the peal of
the war trumpet. The political battle in San Franz
cisco, will lie between the Fillmore men aud Free
monters-between the UnionisIs and Secuonalists
and the Buchauanite- will dwinde into a minority
too insignificant to command even the poor COM
phment Of newspaper criticism. Some time, next
week, a ratification meeting of the Fillmore men
will be held on the Plaza aud after that we ups

ing how near the truth the San Francisco editors
were when they represented ''the American party
extinct in California and Fillmore as a Presidential
candidate without party - IL will 90 hard with
the Americans Of the Bay, if they do not shortly

From numberless mining localities we are in the
