in that State, pays the following deserved compl-
ment to Millard Fillmore:
"Ex-PREsIDENr FILLMoRE.--This distinguished
statesman and pure patriot has been nominated for
the Presidency by the National Know Nothing
Convention in Philadelphia. We rejoice at the
nomination, though we do not expect to support
it. We rejoice on the principle that an honorable
man likes to have gentleman for his opponent
There is another feeling which gives us joy, and it
is, if the Democratic party should be defeated
there is not man in the United States we would
prefer to see heading the defeat, and enjoying
the success of such victory, TO Millard Fillmore
He is gentleman patriot and a statesman of
ability, soaring above all sectional con- deratons
in the administration of the government In his
hands we should feel that the Union, the Consttu-
tion the rights of the States ard the rights of the
South were safe."
The Patriot, after expressing it's determination
to support the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, proceeds:
/" If successful, we shall be proud of our sue
cess, and If defeated by President Fillmore. we
shall not mourn or grieve over our defeat In re-
gard to the Know-NothiRgs, we begin to think that
good may come out of Nazareth
The Tribune and the Courier & Enquirer style
Mr.. Stewards Kansas speech the greatest effort OF
modern times, no language of praise is too exalted
The Philadelphia Times says that twith all his
great and profound research, and his occasional
selfcommand, Mr.. Seward is seldom the states
man. but always either the politician or the dema-
gogue. His speech on Kansas is of much lower
grade than that on Central America The latter
was in our opinion, his very best and strongest pub
lie effort-whie we regard the other as among his
weakest and least satisfactory His vituperatiou
of the administration, and the whole tone and
spirit with which this portion Of his speech is Inn
bued, are unworthy the occasion, and of the lofty
place whence it was uttered 1t betrays in every
sentence the desperate resolve Of the ambitious
demagogue determined to PROSTATE a rival, rather
than the calm logic of statesman and patriot
anxious only to eliminate and enforce tn truth.
