: From what follows. the reader will see with
how sincere and enthusiastic satisfaction the
nominations of the Philadelphia convention have
been received by the friends of the constitution
and of conservative government. The feeling
seems TO be one Of implicit confidence in the dis
tingushed statesman set forward as candidate
for the Presidency, and a conviction that. for
these times Of national trouble and peril, he. Of
all our public men, is best qualified, by tempera-
ment, capacity and experience, to assume the
management of public atfairs,aud, like the great
1sraete, lead our people out from the bondage
of party rule, and guide them through the will
derness of false doctrine and political deusion.
The recollection vet remains wildly in the plb-
lie mind of another most portentous crisis in
our fate, when madness ruled the people, and dis
traction rent their councils when, fanaticism
grown furious and treason insolent, the bravest
of our statesmen stood appalled-and the most
hopeful of free government began to despair-at
such time, called, it were. by Providence
TO take into his hands the dcstinies Of the ma
ton, he so directed them as soon to bring order
out of chaos. TO calm the wild tempest, and re-
store peace and safety. Now, that the ship OF
State is again drifting stormy sea. 1t is nat.
sral and well that those whose dearest interests
are embarked should look TO him They believe
him to be equal to the eyent-aud they look 10
him with an interest infinitely above the unthink !
ing zeal OF the partsan-a sentiment stronger
even than mere love Of country-a feeling that
the lives, the fortunes, and the sacred honor Of
American freemon in peril, and that he would
IL Iatx.
have no disposition to awaken unnecessary up
prehenson, we would not exaggerage the diff
eules that exist, or the danger that menaces the
country-there is no occasion to do So for the
conviction is almost universal that we are within
fearful proximity TO convulsion that may up
benve our institutions, and deluge our land in
blood Surely, such is not time for doubtful
experimentation new and untried men-for
foolish party contest, and beggarly scramble
for spoils. rather let all unite in the policy
which wisdom points out, and safety demands
let all who desire to rescue the Republic from ru
in come together, aud give firm and cordial
upport to the man., who has been true when tried
who, amid excitement and alarm, has been calm
and undistHrbed who. amid temptations, that II |
lower ambition might not withstand has given !
no evidence that he thought Of self who under
appeals the most powerful to sectional interest
and prejudice, has exhibited none other than a
national feeling; whose ''hgher law"is the con
stitution and whose supreme sentiment is
the rights of the States and the union of the
States" Bot our object was more to let cur
readers VIVA others think, than. AT this time,
to declare own estimate of the ticket pre-
scented by the American convention. We there

Mr.. Fillmore is of the most eminent states

his undoubted conservative and truly national
principles At the contest which resulted in the
success OF General Taylor for the first office. Mr..
Fillmore was elected Vice President. and suisse
quently became President through the death Of
the iatnented Taylor administration was dis
tnguish by ability and purity. He called in to his
Cabinet some OF the strongest men of the nation,
and although at the very moment that he entere
upon the duties ct the Presidential Chair, the coun-
trywas conyulsed by sectional crisis of the mo st
serious character, he soon succeeded in sooth
