Glad Tidings from Illinois.

Our news from all parts of this State, says the
Conservative, the new Fillmore paper just started
at Jacksonville, Illinois, is really glorious The
name of Willard Fillmore is becoming a magic
watch-word, rousing the people to strange and
beautiful enthusiasm. That which cheers us the
most is the glad news that greets US from the
North. The Fremont papers had let US to believe
that the whole North was Abolitionized. This il
but one of thousand kindred falsehoods put in
circulation by them. Letters containing money
and long lists Of subscribers are reaching US by
every mail, and each letter breathing bold and
determined patriotism. The good work goes brave
ly OH. All unbought, true Wings are ranging
themselves beneath the Fillmore banner, and
thous ands of Democrats are joining them, to save
the country.
Three weeks ago Millard Fillmore's name was
scarcely heard. Now we have every assurance to
believe that he will carry this State. The Fremont
farce is becoming ridculou, even to the actors
themselves. They are beginning to feel that the
miserable speculation won't pay, land the people
are realizing how foul deception was about to be
played upon them.
"A thousand glad omens cheer US. Then to work,
each and every one of us, to work for glorious
leader and our still more glorious cause.

Hon. James A. Pearce, of Maryland.

Our attention was called this morning to
the letter of Mr. Pearce dated SCI tember 9Th,
and published in the Intelligencer of yester-
day, in which letter that gentleman denies the
truth of an article heretofore published in the
Organ, touching his application fer seat on
the bench of the Supreme Court The article
to which he refers was written by our assis-
tant and was founded upon information given
to him by gentleman of as high character
for truth and vsracity as any man enjoys in
this District
The informant was himself at the time re-
ferred to, clerk in the State Department, and
upon being applied to, to-day, for an explana-
ton of the matter, he states, that he sdD the
endorsement upon the application, rejecting
it, on the ground stated, in the handwriting
Of Mr.. Fillmore. We shall take steps to as
certain whether this recent clerk is or is not in
error We have no motive to do Mr. Pearce
any sort of injustice, and If the facts do not
confirm the representation made to our assist
ant, we shall with pleasure cause the publcaa
ton to be retracted.
Mr.. Pearce, in his letter above referred to,
is venemous enough to say that the statement
is 81 bald falsehood, manufactured to answer
vile party purposes" Our assistant is not the
man to knowingly publish bald falsehood,"
nor do we think him capable of doing any man
injustice for "vile party purposes" Indeed,
there is no necessity for his or our saying one
word beyond the truth, either to sustain the
claima Of Mr. Fillmore 81 70 rvaaLoY tba fo,ca

Let it be Remembered.

That, on the 10th of July, what was called a
Kansas Aid Convention was convened at Buff
falo, and a programme of civil war was deliber-
ately adopted. 1t was determined to raise fund
switch should not fall short of 100000 each
month" Gerritt Smith agreed to pay " fifteen
hundred dollars month during the war" The
latter gentleman, more noted for his holiness than
his prudence, was in favor of marching an armed
force to Kansas" and said "that he felt he was
now called upon to contribute means to arm men
and send them out to fight" Gov. Reeder, al
though not differing from Mr.. Smith in the end
aimed at, was far more prudent in reaching it.
" He didn't wish to give the South notice of their
intentions by marching armed men into the Terri
tory He wanted the enemy to have the first no.
tice of the blow in the blow itself" Mr. Smith
replied to Governor Reeder's fears about "notice,
by putting proper Interpretation upon what the
Convention had already done he said g the South
could not but know that something was to be
done, when resolutions were passed to raise 300,
900 MONTH"
That the 100000 per month thus provided
was committed to the committee located at Chca-
go that this committee at once entered upon its
war-like duties-concentrated the force under
Lane, who recommended the war from which the
Republican demagogues are now endeavoring to
make capital sufficient to elect Fremont. That
these Republican leaders and agtators are Just as
guilty, and as responsible for recent results as
the border ruffians themselves. That their hands
are red with the blood of their CONFERENCE.-The

DOUGLAS ON FILLMoRE--In a speech at Rich
mond, Virginia, on the 9th of July, 1852, Mr.
Stephen A. Douglas, addressing Democratic au
dience, said:
I'VE feel-ay, all of us feel--that Fillmore was
real god-send. 1t was the calming of the waters
When the ship was sinking in the tempest"
The people of the United States must be well
aware that the ship, managed of late by Douglas &
Co., is even in more danger of sinking in the tenn
pest now than che was in 1851. So let the man
who Gained the waters then be called on by his
countrymen to perform the same glorious Office
again. Why should the nation hesitatef How

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 6, 1855.
The largest and most enthusiastic political meet.
ing ever held in the State of Tennessee has closed
it's Qualifications and deliberations here
Every county in East Tennessee was represent
ed, bringing together upwards of twenty thousand
Americans, whose first and last and only choice
for President, is New York's favorte son, Millard
Fillmore. This great mass Of humanity was ad-
dressed for four hours and half by the eloquent
and inimitabe Haskell, "whose blast upon his
buge-horn were worth thousand men," Other
distinguished speakers were present and spoke
Brownlow-you have heard of him--sung the songs
of Zion, and preached damnation to the radical,
jaccobnical, red-mouthed, latterday saint, Bucha-
nan-old-line-Whg Democracy.
The result in this State is mot doubtful. Ten
nessee will cast her vote for Fillmore by larger
majority than she ever gave any Presidential can
ddate, ranging from five to ten thousand majority.

THE RESULT IN MIssoURI-The official returns
in Missouri have at last been made public. The
result will be seen to be somewhat anomalous
the Democrats having elected their candidate for
Governor, and the Americans the Lieutenant Gov.
ernor The vote for Governor is as follows: Polk,
Democratl 46,sS9; Ewing, (American) 4O,57s
Benton, independently 1851 For Lieutenant
Governor; Newland, (American) Al, 2O5; jackson,
(Democrat) 4l,0l7 Kelly, Independently 23,964.
The Democratic party elect all their inferior Off
GERS. There is some dispute about votes irregu-
larly returned from St. Genevisve and Jackson, but
giving them entirely to the Democratic candidate,
it will still leave Newland, the American candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, majority of 10, instead
of 1873 as at present.

If any vengeance Is to be taken by any
body, and upon any either body, as intimated
In the right hand extract, it would seem to US
that the South, who have been fooled into the
idea that Buchanan has any strength Mt the
North, might rightfully take vengeance upon
those men who had fooled them, and especially
upon him who could pen the above paragraphs
within six days of each other
The Washington Union has known from
point of time anterior to the Cincinnati Con-
vention, that Buchanan had no strength any
4ohere, and hence its preference, before the NOM
nation, for Frank Pierce, of New Hampshire
Why, even the Faithless Phantom of Star"
had sense enough to understand Buchanan's
weakness and when such astute men as
Charles Irving, of Virginia, had openly opposed
Buchanan's nomination, because his record was
not satisfactory, it was remarkable that Blu
chapan was dominated. But the pire-Workers,
such men as Forney, Saunders, and Sickles,
with the aid of Colonel Benton and his Mis-
souri, Free-soil friends, forced the nomination,
reckless of consequences to the Democratic
party. Colonel Benton, I'm his letter to Gov
ernor Price, the leading Bentonian delegate to
the Cincinnati Convention, distinctly asserts
that he and his. friends forced the South to take
Buchanan.
Now, it is seen that the Union on Friday
the 9th instant had received such "p~ipate
adpices" rs warranted its "belief" that there
would be an overwhelming Democratic tri-
umph," in Maine on Monday, the 9th instant !:
though the modest man would not claim that
triumph "in adpance :" and yet on Thursday
the 18th, when il had been demonstrated that
the Republicans had overwhelmed the sham
Democrats and Wings united, this same press
coolly says, it had received Geographic reports
which leave Che thinks" but is not sure, no
doubt of Hamlin's election, and adds This
has not been unexpected to us ~ He announc-
ed on the 9th, that his 'private advices" would
seem to justify the suppostion, there would be
an overwhelming Democratic triumph in
Maine, and certainly he did not hazard too
much in asserting bis belief" that the result
would warrant the strongest hopes of Blu
chsnan's success there in November-and vet
on the 18th, when the Buchanan forces had
been routed and disgraced, he says, "Ths
pas not unexpected to us"
No doubt he expected the defeat of Buchan-
an in Maine on Monday last, and, no doubt,
he expects Buchanan's overthrow, and the to-
tai annihilation of the sham Democracy every
where in November next--snd yet he winds
up his article, on yesterday, as follows:

When one Of the prominent leaders of the
Wing party joins himself to the forces Of that
other party, whose principles he has always
bitterly opposed, and especially when he does
this on the miserable prstert that Fillmore
has no chance" simple statement of this fact,
with all intelligent men, consigns him to a
lower depth of obloquy than that to which
thousands of "bald falsehoods" could transfer
him. Mr.. Pearce is mistaken if he supposes
that any "bald falsehood" which mortal man
could indite, would sink him an inch lower
than the truckle bed which he has voluntarily
made for his political resting place.
National Club OF the City of New York.Y
We have just received circular from the "Na-
tional Club of the city Of New York." addressed to
the americans Of the United States, from which
we make the following extracts. 1t bears date at
Headquarters No. 66S Broadway, New York
city;
Knowing that at the present time system OF
gross deception is being practised by the Black
Republican press in this city and State, with re-
gard to the prospects of our candidate, Willard
Fillmore Also that these false representations, II
not counteracted, may influence many who wish
our cause well, into giving their votes for an
tagonists, we have thought it advisable to issue
this circular to our friends abroad, to assure them
that we are well satisfied from our returns of can
vases in the city and State that shall give the
American ticket such vote as win ensure the
State, beyond doubt, for Willard Fillmore and
Andrew j. Donelson.
This is not with us now q mere hopeful con-
lecture but is based upon actual returns, made by
the various clubs and associations, both In this
section and in the West and we desire our friends
everywhere to be of good cheer We are doing
our duty, and if they will only rally around our
standard with the same steadfastness and devotion
with which we are working, we cannot fail to elect
our candidates.
GB-" say to you, do not doubt the Empire
State. She as safe for Fillmore"
| The best informed and most reliable men in New
York assure US that Fillmore and Donelson will
carry New York by majority of from $4,000 to
| 10000 votes! We renew our assurances to the
friends of the American party" and the advocates
Of Fillmore and Donelson everywhere, that the
contest is not between Fillmore and Buchanan,
but between Fillmore and Fremont and that Blu
cbanan cannot get majority of the votes in any
one of the free States, and our judgment is that,
in less than thirty days from this, Buchanan viii
cease to be regarded candidate, if not formally
