Then, if Willard Fillmore is elected, it
will have to be by the North. What
hopes are there for him there? The
delegates from seven Of these States
withdrew from the convention which
nominated him, and it is not probable
that the citizens will repudiate the action
of their delegates. Delegates generally
reflect the sentiments of those who send
them, and if this be true he cannot hope
to carry those States.
The Black Republicans, who held a
national convention in Pitts5urg, at the
same time, not satisfied with Fillmore,
will have a candidate of their own, and
what States the Democracy do not carry
will fall to their lot. Where then are
the votes to come from which are to elect
Willard Fillmore President of the United
States? He is man of discretion, and
is not callousto the fate Of his popularity,
and therefore, we think that, after taking
look at the beauty of the Old World,
he will survey the political horizon of
America, thank the now-nothing party
for the "honor conferred" and beg to
be excused
ANDREW JACKSON DoNELsoN, the nom-
inee for Vice President, is a native Of
Tennessee traitor to the Democratic
party-and is now receiving this reward
for his treason. The immortal Jackson
scaooled him in the true Democratic
principles, but he now deserts them
strikes blow at the party that nourished
him, and insults the memory OF the great
man whose name he bears. If the old
hero of New Orleans could now inspect
the affairs of mankind he might well
exclaim, :" 1T tu Brute" "dare YOU pro-
scribe me, my father was an Irishman. y
Mr.. Donelson deserves the name OF
jackson as much as Napoleon the third
does that of the mighty emperor, and il
the Know-nothing party expects to i'm
pose upon the American people piece
ofrotten hickory for the genuine article,
it will have to take the consequences.
Every day the prospect of the Demo-
cacy grows brighter; the whole South
is awake to its lasting interests, and the
conservative States of the North arc
ready to enrol themselves under the ban
ner Of the constitution We will not BE-
surprised to hear of another American
convention between this and the Presi-
Dental election, and, of course we shall
be favored with another platform.
We subjoin the protest of the boiling
delegates;
