The Washington National Intelligencer, says:
As we are not members Of that party, we
should con eeive that We had no right to find fault
with its selection were il in any respect objection
able SO, perhaps, it is not particularly incumbent
on us to praise its choice, free as it not only is
from exception. but fit, and proper, and worthy,
as every body knows the distinguished citizen to
be, whom the party has chosen as their candidate
for the Presidency. What course the Wing may
pursue under the present political circumstances
of the country, what candidate they may select
or what person they may support for the Chief
Magistracy, it is not for us to decide or for any
one now to say. It will doubtless be deemed

the path which their duty to the country and to
their principles shall prescribe and that path we
as unwayering adherents of the party shall be
prepared to tread without hesitation and without
faltering. Whether they shall resolve upon an
independent course or not. and whether it lead to
success or failure belong to the future; but we
should be unfaithful to our known sentiments and
uniform avowals if we were to suppress now the
expression of our opinion of the merits of Mr.
Fillmore, and the confidence with which, on trial
he inspired the country in his qualifications for
wise and safe and conservative President.

Jackson's family and once a leading member oil
the Democratic party, but his career has beer
marked by great political independence, evincing
integrity and patriotism.
