The Game.

Extremes often meet" and it is sometimes
found to be the first that those who are appa-
renty the antipodes Of each other, fall into the
same general course of action, and, in respect
to common opponent become allies and CO.
adjutors
This is exemplifed at the present time by
the game being played by the foreign or anti
American party in Congress and the Northern
sectional party: which is to represent and en-
deavor to create the impression that Mr.. FILL
MORE and tho American party have no strength
anywhere at the North, and that he will not
be able to get single electoral vote north of
Mason's and Dixon's line And, furthermore,
that Mr. Fillmore will not accept the nomi-
nation.
AS to the latter assertion, prompted as it is
only by the wishes Of those who make ii, we
are not authorized of course to contradict it
officially because Mr.. Fillmore has not vet
been heard from since informed of his nomina-
tion but the assertion is made without the
least authority as all know. We haze not a
doubt but that he toil accept the nomination
not a particle.
As to the alleged weakness of Mr.. f. and
the American party in the free States, it is ut
terly false, and known to be so by those who
make the assertion. Their object is to drive
weak and timid men from his support, and to
draw them over into the Abolitionized party of
the North, who want to keep the country in
continued state of agitation and turmoil
about negroes. They know that there are
thousands in this country who will join party
if they think it is likely to succeed and who
will also desert it, if they think it will be de-
feated; and on this knowledge they go to work
industriously, every man of them adopting the
same cuckoo song, singing the weakness of Mr..
Fillmore and the Americans, in hopes thereby
to bring about this weakness. But it is aLove's
labor lost and breath spent in vain: for when
once Aepeopte of this country become thorough
y convinced that public man is really honest,
and has the courage and intention to do right,
they attach themselves to him with hooks of
steel, which demagogues and politicians will
in vain attempt to unloose. Such was the opin-
ion the people had of General Jackson and
such is the opinion they entertain of Mr. Fill
more.
The effect of his nomination is, like himself
quiet, steady, sure and steadfast. There is no
Juror about it or him; both are like the deep.
clear, placid stream which does not go dashing
and foaming and tumbling over rocks and talLs,
but moves on with noiseless, irresistible
force; and the more it is attempted to be i'm
peded, the more its mighty power will be per-
ceived: His popularity is not the growth of
single night, like the gourd we read Of but
that of the mountain oak, which takes deep
and firm root in the soil The hold he has
upon the American people is not feeling of
the moment but the deliberate Judgment of
mature reflection and close observation: thew
know that he will take care that under his ad-
mlnistration the Republic shall suffer no detri
ment and that their interests will be cared for.
But the huckstering, bargaining trading poll
uclans are not quite so sure about their inter
ests being taken care Of by him, and therefore
they are endeavoring to persuade the people
that ne will not do 1t is hopeless task, and
you had better give it up 80, Mr.. Brown
Mr.. FILLMORE soiU Be the candidate of the
american party, and wiH be elected 6y the
american people.
