.ENcoURAGISe TO EDIfoRs.AAt the late
Irish meeting in New York an onslaught
wasmade upon the editorial corps by one
Of the speakers. Another speaker came
10 the rescue, and had the courage TO ex-
press " the opinion that editors we're gen.
erally as honest and respectable as the
majority of men of, other callings." We
are sorry to see it recorded that this cour
ageous and liberal sentiment did not seem
TO meet the appzobaliop Of the assemblage.

1t is now decided that Fillmore electoral ticket
will be placed in nomination in this State, and a
Convention for that purpose viii be held in New
port on Tuesday, September I'd.
The meeting at Providence was at once the re-
suit of deep feeling in favor of Mr.. Fillmore's
election, and the cause of an increased enthusiasm
in that behalf 1t is among the curiosities poll
tics that this step has not been resolved upon and
put in execution at an earlier period.
1t is to be noted, however, that the support
which Mr. Fillmore viii receive comes not alone
from those who enter fully into all his views re-
specting our public policy, and in this fact lies very
great strength for him. Aside from those who COR
daily endorse his political opinions, there is large
and increasing class who SO appreciate the purity
Of his administration, the executive ability dis
played by him, and the integrity of his whole heart
that they are more than willing to sacrifice any
difference of opinion on the altar Of public good in
order to secure once more to the nations service
those excellent qualities which they know him to
possess and which the history Of the past and the
uncertainty of the future constran them to prize.

AN Important ACQUISITION.

We were not less surprised than gratifed yes
terday (remarks the N. O. Bee of the 9th instant,
on opening the National-the organ of the Franco
American population of our city--to behold at the
head of it columns the names of Fillmore and Don
elson for President and Vice President The Ma
tional has hitherto been absolutely neutral in poll
tics. Its editors, in an able and well considered
article, set forth the reasons which have induced
them TO declare in favor of Fillmore. They hold
that neutrality In the present critical situation OF
the country should be discarded that the South is
bound to support the candidate who stands upon
the Constitution, and whose past is guarantee OF
his fidelity and probity; that Fillmore is the man
for the times; that Buchanan's strength and popu-
larity daily declining, and that the South, hav-
ing to choose between the two, should not hesi-
tate to enroll herself beneath the standard of Fill
more, as the only candidate who can defeat Fre-
mont.
The National will prove an effective auxiliary,
and we welcome it into the Fillmore ranks with the
greatest pleasure. 44 H

Governor Jones, of Tennessee.

| This gentleman, borrowing the language OF
| the lamented and unrivalled Webster, asked in
the Senate on Saturday last, "Where he should
go ?" and answered his own question by de-
claring his purpose to fall into line with the
Van Burens, Cochranes, and Bentons or, in
other words, to support cold Squatter Sover-
eign." Having made this declaration, it seems
to us there is one place to which he should not
90, and that place is TENNESSEE If he should
go there, however, regardless Of this sugges-
ton, and Of the well-known Americanism of
the Tennesseeans, it may be at least conjec-
tured that the people of that State will consign
him to political retiracy for which he is so
| admirably qualified. a
We are most happy to observe that Senator
Bell took the occasion of Senator Jones's an
nouncing his prospective declination of further
public service, to state emphatically his inten-
ton, as at present advised, to sustain Millard
Fillmore-not that any doubt has existed that
Senator Bell would thus throw his influence,
into the conservative, anti-flibustering, anti
"squatter sovereignty" scale, but that it was
fit and proper occasion for public declara-
ton on his part to prevent the possible belief
in the minds of those who know these two
Senators, that the detection Of Governor Jones
would work the least change in the votes in
Tennessee.
The prompt declaration on the spot by Sen
ator Bell, that he should pursue the directly
opposite course to that indicated by Governor
Jones, sinks the announcement Of the latter
into perfect insignifcance. The opinions and
inAuence-the political soeight Of statesman
of the high eminence Of Senator Bell, present
ed to the people of Tennessee or Of any other
State, in opposition to the determinations Of
Ex-Governor Jones, viii produce precisely the

"RoAsr BEEF AND TEN DOLLARS DAY !"--The
battle cry of the Fremonters is soon to be settled
in roast beef and ten dollars a day. Col. John
Charles Fremont has charged the United States,
in one of his accounts for expenditures whilst COM
manding in California with fourteen pounds of
beef per day for each men in his army! This
charge, in the matter of beef we understand will
SOON be forthcoming from the books of the Treas
uly Department Only think of it--oNE man to
eat FOURTEEN pounds of beef in ONE day If John
Charles gets to be President, won't the soldiers of
his Mariposa army have glorious timeG The old
Whig war cry of ''two dollars day and roast
beef" will be thrown in the shade. But, then, It
is said that John Charles charged the government
with the beef and drew the money, without giving
his men more than ration or three-fourths of a
pound per day keeping the thirteen and quar-
ter pounds for his own use from each man What
gormandizer he must be ..
If he had two hundred men under his command,
he must have had for his own use two thousand
six hundred and fifty pounds Of beef per day!-
That's good business transaction, and is proof
that John Charles is fit to be President VASE
