To Messrs. Thompson, Crawford and others.
GENTLEMEN Il am sorry to inform you, that
my i'll health forbids my attendance at your pro-
posed meeting at Jefferson. Your course, so far
as your circular purports, meets my cordial APP
probation. Self preservation is the first law of
nature" 1t is right freemen to assemble togeth-
er, and lay their grievances before their oppres-
sors. 1t is passing strange that the Legislature
should pass bill to license houses of entertain
ment, and entail bond of from $500 to $1,000
1t is odious it is repugnant to the feelings of free
men, and ought, with its authors, to be frowned
down. But, the sober second thought of the
.reemen of Pennsylvania is always right. The
fmember offering such Bill must have an indirect
interest in this bond matter. My opinion of it, is
that it offers only a bounty to informers, These
are the mildest views I can take Of such Bill, and
with them, Gentlemen, permit me to subscribe
myself. Your very humble servant,
=. SHIELDS.

Fillmore and DoneIson.

We have now heard, through our exchanges,
from all parts of the United States upon the no
nations made at Philadelphia; and when we say
That no nominations were ever more cheerfully ac-
quiesced in--save that of Henry Clay, in 1874
we say only the truth. We do not mean to say
that there is not oppugnation in parts of New
England, and in parts of Ohio, and a silent oppug-
nation in Pennsyvanis--but when it is reduced to
choice between Fillmore and some President
Pierce, it will be powerless-if it give away, or
only attempt to throw away votes on some person
that can command no strength in the electoral
colleges The Seward opposition to Fillmore in
New York-for 1t is only Seward opposition when
out of the Democratic ranks--will be Of no avail
hre. We have met it twice. measured swords
with it, and whipped it, and can whip it more and
better the next time. 1t is only misfortune that
the cunning creature of Bishop Hughes can de-
lnde men in New England and Ohio to follow him.
The more these nominations are tested and eau
cussed, the stronger they will grow. Fillmore is
OF the true stuff that viii standall sorts of fire
aud hence, the longer they are before the people,
the more popular they win grow. The "Law"
humbus of the 18th of June will explode, just as
did the nomination. The Pittsburgh movement
will dwindle down by October to a Birney and
Francis Adams sham. Sensible men, in these try
ing times, MOI going 70 throw their votes away

administration and al its oifice-holders with it,

Fillmore in Massachusetts.

The Lowell Daily Journal--by no means jour
sight and truthfulness:
"Several of the Boston newspaper writer's and
Boston correspondents of the New York journals
have been trying TO convince the world ever since
the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore at Philadelphia,
that he cannot ever begin to go--that he stands
no sort of chance OF carrying the electoral vote OF
Massachusetts, ts-that in the expressive language OF
the South, ',he is dead cock in the pit to start
with. The wish of these writer's and correspond.
ents is evidently father to the thought. They would
film have it that Mr.. Fillmoae is an unlikely candi-
date to run, and so they pertinaciously decry his
prospects. Per contra, we venture the assertion
that there is not an intelligent politician in the
State who does not in his heart believe that if Mil
lard Fillmore ia in the field next November, and
nothing remarkable turns up to effect radical
change in the sentiment of tha Commonwe ealth,
that he is as sure of its electoral vote as the sun IL
to rise during the month 10, iohich it piH be given
to him. Fillmore is popular man in this State,
and has been ever since he was first brought con-
spicuously before the country. There is no Presi-
Dental candidate likely to be put In nomination
who can compete with him in popularity here, who
can begin to run with him and those who talk
and write to the contrary, are simply talking and
writing 6osh. Further than this, we have reason
believe that the Philadelphia nomination is grad
uily increasing in popularity, with the lapse OF
every day and week, throughout the country at
large. The more this nomination is discussed the
better it is liked. Ii is now generally conceded
that the only nomination that has chance of sue
cess against it, will be the nomination to be made
at Cincinnati in June next"

Mr.. FnLMoRE-We beleve--and we are viii.
ing to place our opinion on record as prediction
that the name of Fillmore will in time rally the
great bulk OF the American party in Massachusetts,
and with favorable prospect Of carrying the State
We cannot of course anticipate the reply of Mr.
Fillmore to the letter informing him Of his nomina
tion but if he accepts it upon the broad platform
Of American principles, he will carry the State
Gen. Taylor's chances were not more favorable in
lS4S than those Of Fillmore seem to be now, but
he carried the State by han nisome majority. The
prospects of General Scott were not brighter at the
time he was nominated, yet Massachusetts was one
of the few States which gave him plurality. 1t
is too early in the campaign to expect any enthusi-
asm for Fillmore. Indeed, the nomination was
made too early. But there viii be waking up be-
fore the November election which win surprise
