Our readers are aware that the Ma
tional Kew Nothing Convention which
assembled in P~hiladelphia on the 22ud
inst, put IN nominationM ILb4RD FILL
MORE of New York, for President, and
A. j.. DONALDSON for Vice President.
There is no Disgusting the fact that this
lisa strong ticket, and one that isscer-
tain to receive a liberal support in every
section of the country. Mr.. FILLMORE
was a popular President with tho Wing
party when in Office, and thousands and
tens of thousands of eld-line Wings in
all parts of the Union, Will be found
1ocking to his standard. The old Wing
banner which has been trailing in the
mire of Abolitionism for the past four
years is again thrown to the breeze, and
The old Wing party, which has been box
ing about in the political seas without
chart or compass, is on its legs again.
The nomination of FILLaoRE will I'M
doubtedly have the effect of resuscita.
ting the Wing party of the country, and
we should rot be at all surprised if a
regular Wing Convention is called to
confirm the nominations. Mr.. FILL
MoRE's strength consists in his nation
akty-he will run equally as we'll or bot
ter in tho South, as in the North.
In Mr.. Fn1uonE's own State, New
York, lis nomination is received with
perfect enthusiasm. We have before ny
lengthy extracts from q large number of
leading New York papers, which we
should be glad to publish, but have not
the space. The New York Ezpress and
the Commercial Advertiser, Charleston
Advertiser, Buffalo AdUertiser, Albany
Express, and the New York Bee, the
Know Nothing State Organ, have all
hoisted the FnLMoRE and DONALDSON
flag. 100 guns were fred in the New
York City Park on the 28th, in honor
of the nominations In Albany, on the
9th, 100 guns were also fred. bonfres
blazed all over the city at night, and the
Morning Eap'ess Office was brilliantly
Illuminated. The KNOWN othing mem
bers of the Legislature held a meeting
the same evening to make preparations
for a grand State ratification meeting.
The State Council of New York Know
Nothings, which assembled in Canaan
=daigua on the goth, also unanimously
endorsed the nominations, and the Pre-
s;dent of Buffalo Council No 177, gave
the LIE to the statement made in the
protest of the seeding GEoRGE Law
delegates, that Mr.. FILLMORE was not a
member of the Order, by stating that he
himself was present when Mr.. FILLMORE
was regularly Initiated in his Council5
and all the obligations of the Order ad-
ministered to him in due form. A fund
of CSC, 600 is about to be raised in New
York City to start a FILLMORE paper,
the size of the Herald and 1ti5Wne.
There can be no doubt that FILLMORE
will beat the Black Republican candi-
date IN his own State tive to one. Tho
Pennsylvania Inquirer, n of the old
est Wing papers in the State, also en-
the ticket. In Ohio, the Cincin-
natl Times, Portsmouth Herald and
H~illsborough Citizen, have run up the
ticket. These demonstrations have all
been made in less than two weeks. At
this rate, tie fight will certainly be be-
tween the Known othings and the De-
mocrats next fall-ths.e will not be
enough of the Black Republican party.
to make q decent funeral,
The nomination of FILLMORE has
been received by the Black Republican
leaders with CONSERVATION and dismay.
Unless things shape themselves differ
emily from what any man expects, FILL
MORE will receive a scattering vote in
the North at least, hat will give near
~ every Northern State to the Demo
Gratis, and the prospects are fair that
the Black Republican party will dwin-
die into insignifcances Looking at mat
tiers in this light, it is amusing to hear
the leading fusion presses talk. The
Ohio State Journal says, " it is not to
be disguised that these are nominations
of great strength and that as at pre-
sent aduiSed's it is of the opinion " that
the Republicans of. Ohio have nothing
to hope for from this nomination, and
cannot support it" Philosopher GREE
LEY is mad, and simply says we hope
they will have a good time electing
them.,n The Cincinnati Gazette, how
ever, caps the climax It gives up
whipped in advance, and advises that
the Black Republicans nominate a man
of their own for President and unite
upon the same electors that are run on the
FILLMoRE ticket. and thus defeat the
Democrats in every Northern State and
throw the election into the present
House of Representatives., where either
or the Black Republican can
didate. would be sure to be elected.
This scheme of the Gazette is more
shreWd than honest, and shows the cor
ruption of the source from which it cmi-
mated. That both the-Knew-N othing
and Black Republican factions aresrot-
