The Union and Americans Republican
Ware,s Nest.

Fillmore and Donelson, the n. Y. Tribune,
the proceedings of so-called Fillmore Club
in New York, which has pronounced for
Fremont and Dayton, and remarks
1.-THE Fillmore National Club of New York,
consisting of between two and three thousand
members. have formally abandoned all hope of
accomplishing anything for Fillmore and Don
elson, and in view of the pressing necessity of
an organized and united Oppo ition 10 the De-
mocracy, have determined To- give their undi-
vided support 10 the Black Republican ticket.
This is an important desaormentfor the South.
We must defer comment for the present"
We would respectfully ask our contempt
rary to state his authority for saying the
club consists of between two and three
thousand members" There is nothing in
the proceedings of the club to justify the
statement. The Tribune does not say any
thing about the number of members com
prisiug the club, nor of the number present
at the meeting. Neither does the Herald.
These are the only papers besides the U'nion
and american, in which we have seen the
proceedings of the club. Their silence as
to the number, is significant
We would also like to know our contem-
porary's authority for stating that the club
formally abandoned all hope of accomplish
ing any thing for Fillmore and DOnelsoa."
1t does not appear that the club ever did
support Fillmore and Donelson. There is
evidence enough in the proceedings of the
club, as republiShed by the Union and Amer
ican, to prove satisfactorily that it belonged
to the boilers section of the American
party, and has been opposed to Fillmore
and Donelson ever since they were nomina-
ted-just as ready and willing as the Union
and american to strike them down. The
following is one of the resolutions. We
copy from the Union and american
"Resoyred That the American Convention
which placed in nomination the names of Fill
more and Donelson-a Convention TO the ac-
ton Of which We have looked forward as an
ark OF promise in the political sky-in its con-
csssi0n to the South, whose sggressions have
become intolerable, dictation of the principles
by which its candidates are to be guided, if
successful has SeDered itself from the National
american organization, and thereby abSOLUed as
from tie support Of its nominees"
The concessions to the South" made
by the American Convention last February,
which nominated Fillmore and Donelson,
"absOlved them from the support of its
nominees" That absOlution was received
in February and of course the club has
since been opposed to Fillmore and Donel
son. So soon as the Republicans made
their nominations the Club with the other
boilers sustainS them.
The president of the club in his address
declaring his intention to support Fremont,
discloSes the fact that he was in the Ma
tional Convention of February, and ''came
away an altered man upon the subject of sla-
very" a Black Republican at heart He
says:
"In the American Convention convened at
Philadelphia, February IS, | here openly &C
knowledge that | went there as an American,
devoted to its principles aud favorably inclined
toward the South. In that body portion of
the Northern delegates stood firm and undivi
ded, as q unit, against the aggressiOns of the
South. thought they were too extreme, that
they allowed the question of slavery to be a
paramount one; | felt annoyed at their acts
but had not been in the Convention many
hours when the truth convinced me that she
was the true tyrant; that she was the 'parri
eide of the party | idolized,' because she &C
knowledged no principle but self | therefore
returned back an altered man upon the sub
ject of slavery
What's more natural than his present
support of Fremont !
We regard the whole thing as an inge-
niously devised Black Republican trick, the
object of which was to create an impression
which the true character Of the proceeding
would not warrant. The enemies of Mr.
Fillmore in New York have been very &C
tive. They have even been, as we learn,
getting up secret councils, and calling them
American councils, and we should not be
surprised if some of them should soon pro-
nounce, to the great qualification Of sham
democrats, in favor of Fremont.
2. S. Since the above was put in type,
we have received the n. Y. Express of the
oath inst, in which we find the following
brief article mailing this counterfeit to the
