WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
IRON OUR SPECIAL CoRREsP oNpENT.1
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1885,
The telegraph has already carried to nearly every
portion of the country the glorious tidings of the
nomination of Willard Fillmore, by the American
party of the Union, at the late Philadelphia Conven
ton, for the high office of President of the United
States. This nomination has already been received
by the country with ccrdality that gives the best
assurance of success. 1t was in response to the
almost unanimous sentiment of the people. No man
now living possesses such a hold upon the popular
heart as Willard Fillmore. The people have tried him,
an6l#they ever fotind him true and worthy. They
recognize him as firm and loyal supporter of the
Constitution and the Union-a statesman enlarged
and liberal views--a man Of Roman firmness and
dignity They are tired Of pop-shop politicians and
miniature statesmen Who can contemplate the
transfer of tile administration from Pierce to Fillmore
without feeling that it is like emerging from Egyp-
I was in the Convention at the time the nonlina-
ton was made, and the which ensued defies all
description The young and the old, the grave and
the gay seemed for the moMent to be lost IN Wlnrl
Of uncomfortable enthusiasm. Men of severe and dig
nifed aspect appeared to participate IN the excite
ment Of the occasion with all the zest and heartness
of exuberant youth. have never heard such voclf-
erous cheering, such glorious and manly outburst
of popular feeling. The large crowd on the street
outside of the hail. took up the cry, land in few min
utes the shouts of the people echoed through every
street of the city The Convention but ratified the
voice of the people, 1t remains now for the people to
ratiy the voice of the Convention VIII they do it !?
Let us hope for the best.
You will have observed that portion OF the Con-
venton from the Northern States seeded This step,
SO far from being accuse Of regret should be cause
of rejoicing. The seceders were principally men who
are tinctured with. Black Republcanism, few only
being mere tools of outside politicians, who care moth
ing for principle, and whose allegiance to any party
proceeds always from selfish motive Their presence
in any party always damages its cause and detracts
from its purity Their secession has left none behind
but those who Lave the ring of the true metal With
such man as Willard Fillmore for our standard bearer
and in such holy cause, we must fight the battle
with all the energies Of nature. The feeling OF
victory already begins to pusate in the heart of every
true American.
The Democracy affect a, belief that it will be an
easy triumph for them over Mr.. Fillmore. In reality
they know otherwise--ands the symptoms OF their
alarm are already visible Let thepeope at once pre-
pare for all manner Of Misrepresentation, tasehoods
and receptions Inscriptions as the party has al
ways proved itself to be- it has not yet exhausted its
capital of mendacity.
The President yesterday sent in a special message
to Congress- asking for an appropriation OF three
millions of dollars for the purpose Of Strengthening
our army Notifications and increasing the power and
efficiency of the army service. At first it was sup
posed that some dreadful war news had come by the
last steamer-that Pierce and Marcy had become
| alarmed-and that we were the eve of an oper
rupture with Great Britain 1t turned out, however
that there was no real ground for such conjecture
that our relations with Great Britain not of such
& critical character ms to expect any immediate col
lision with her and that the three millions asked
| for only by way of preparing ourselves to meet any
| exigency that NIGH occur. From what has been de
veloped in regard to this matter do not anticipate
any difficulty with Great Britain. The application
for the money has, no doubt grown out of the natura
tmidity of Messls Pierce and Marcy, the former O.
| whom, Judging from his exploits in the valley o
Mexico, has no inordinate. fondness for the field O
strife and the latter being of that class who neve
set squadron in the field, nor the division of bat
tie knows more than spinster."
In the course of the debate on the reference of tht
message, Mr.. Faulkner of Virginia, said that if an,
| serious misunderstanding should occur with Grea
Britain it would be the result of the most bmgln;
| diplomacY." Whether he intended that his remarl
should apply to Buchanan or to Marcy is matter o
doubt-but as Faulkner is here considered the chic
fugleman Of the administration, it may perhaps b
taken as a side blow at old Buck. AS the prospect
of old Buck for the Cincinnati nomination have BEEF
looming up very much in the last. few weeks, it
coniectured that the affection with which he is re
garded by the present Cabinet has not been very sen
sibly increased. They have rid themselves of Dallas
but in lieu of him they have now a much more form
dable competitor in the person of the old avorte
the Democracy of the Keystone. much suspect tot
that there is internal treason in the White House, an
that the Kitchen Cabinet, while ostensibly laborn
for Brgader General Pierce, in reality laying the
pipes for Buchanan. Forney is the chief cook of tt
kitchen, and his past career has shown that he
equally an adept in political intrgues as he is in pc
sona and private ones.
The Senate is engaged in discussing the Kansf
question: Jones, of Tennessee, has delivered an all
speech in reply to Hale, of New Hampshire. IL
trouble has commenced in relation to this mucllveXe
question of Kansas but it has not yet gotten to i
worst. consider it by far the most dangerous que
ton to the stability and permanence of the Union
any that has yet occurred in the history of tt
government.
The Democracy of Virginia are holding n Sta
Convention to-day in Richmond It is said that VII
is their choice for President 1t makes little dife
encc, however, who is their choce-for they will vo

Beau Hickman, or old Diobolus himself. The Dem
cratic party of Virginia is the most illibcral hid
bound and uncompromising of any in the Union.
