FilImorels Prospects. .The Signs Mnst cheerinr.


We are gratifed to be able to communicate the
cheering intelligence to readers to-day that the
prospects of Mr.. Fillmore, in every quarter Of the
country, are of the most encouraging and animatng
character No matter to which point of the compass
We may turn our eyes, find the friends of the
Constitution and the Union full of zeal, hope and
confidence. We have rarely, in any previous Prssi-
dental contest, Witnessed higher degree of enthu-
siasin q fixed determination on the part of
any party than that which now characterzes the
supporters of Fillmore throughout the length and
breadth OF the country. From the North and from
the South, from the East and from the West, our ex-
changes daily bring glad tidings of great Joy
In scarcely any portion Of the Union do we observe
ukewarmness and apathy; on the contrary, all are
at work and all are in earnest, resolved upon the tr
| umph Of our noble candidate and the preservation
Of our glorious Union.
The example thus set by friends at distance
should be zealously emulated by the Fillmore men
of Virginia Although in a minority in the State
yet with timely and proper exertions we may re-
duce the majority against if We do not car
- the State-no little in November At all events
il is our duty nail our colors to the mast to ad
here firmly 70 our principles and our candidates, 10
toll with consiAncy and zeal, and thus deserce sue
cess, and leave the result TO Providence and the pe
PIE With proper and earnest efforts, we may &C.
oonPlisb mueh-very much-even here in Virgins,
Shere LooofCoOsn with all its reeking eorruptions
has % long held almost undisputed sway. Let US
At al hazards resolve to dare and do and the ides
Of November nay tell a tale, which will carry low
and happiness to every patriotic heart
As we nave said, the friends of Fillmore in other
states are working with a diligence and an energy
worthy Of all praise aud they appear entirely san
guine Of carrying their respective States for our
great aud glorious standard bearer The Washing.
