We will give him the money, but will prohibit
its application to such purposes.
During the past yeas, the President en-

such election, for the discharge of official

the enactments Of those M:;sssourians to whom

THE VOICE OF GEORGIA.

lFrom the .hiliedgeriils tGa Recorder]
Mr. Fillmore's nomination has been every
where received with uumistakab'e manifes-
tations of popular favor. Though presented
as the candidate of the American party-a
party composed Of sound aed patriotic
Wings and bemocrats--the moderate,
thinking ..ational men of the country, who
dseire to witness the cessation of sectional
agitation and strife, vii gladly mite in

Though nominally the candidate of a

Of the people, as he was once actually, the

Platforms nowadays are dead-falls to the
great men Of the country and hy-traps OF

national stand taken by Mr.. Fillmore in
tho alarming crisis of 1850 and '5l--his
stern and unwavering adherancc to the Con-
stituton, and his bold enforcement of the
laws under the ccnstitution---his wise and
conscrv ative domestic and foreign policy,
are the best guarantees of his future con-
duct. The people of this State have seen
him, heard him, taken bin by the hand,
and nobler specimen Of frank and true
hearted gentleman and pure hearted states

They will delight to honor him.

MR. Editor--The House has at last passed

The County Council met in Bedford on

was large, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. The nomination of Fillmore and
Donelson was cordially responded to, and
the Council adjourned. in the best possible
manner. From the feeling existing, We
would not be surprised If Bedford County

Sarannah Republican.
The nomination Of Mr.. Fillmore, We are
sure, will meet q very cordinl reception
throghout the South, among the American
party, and ala5 with many who are not mem
bars of the party. He has been ''trTcc in
the balance aud not found wanting" and
the whole people of all parties hare the
highest confidence in his integrity, and bis
sound national and conservative principles
Such man they delight to honor, and viii
most chcerfully unite to place him at the
head of the Government.
Mr. Donelson has been less prominent
actor on the political stage, and is, there
fore, less known to the masses. To South
ern men it is quite sufficient to know that
he il one of them, was the near relative of
"Oid Hickory" and enjoyed throughout
his cyentful life his highest confidence
The ticket Is good, sound, national one,
and VIC shall support it most cordially and
zealously. ly.-Chronicte & Sentinel.
The Sumter Republican in announcing the
nomination of Fillmore and Donelson, says
it's good ticket.
ave are glad that the recent Convention
has given some evidence, in the nomination
of Mr.. Fillmore of a willingness TO place
their banner in the hands Of well known
well tried and well approved public servant.
In the high position which hls friends desire
again 10 elevate him, he gave proof Of abil-
ity, integrity and sound national spirit
which commanded alike admiration Of
friends and the respect of the whole Amer
lean people. He knew in his adnlinistra-
iior, no sectional division of his country,
pandered to the prejudice of no eonteupti-
bic sectional division of parties; but stand
ing By the constitution, and sustained by
the laws, he governed the country and the
whole great country as one united confed
Grated republic. His foreign and domestic
policy alike secured peacs prosperity. and
respect, at home and abroad. All Of this
is well known to the millions of American
citizens before whom this nomination is
placed. But we are rather uninientionally
doing what We promised not to do until
we knew whether or not Mr.. Fillmore would
accept the profered honor.
With the public life of DIR. Donelson the
people are necessarily less acquainted He
is q southern man of the high-sonled sons
of Tennessee, the State of heroes, orators
and statesmen. So far as We have any
knowledge Of his antecedents, he has served
his country with ability and fidelity when
ever and whercver that country has de-
manded bis assistance "-Coiambus Inqu,-
