RALLY AT CLINTON.

The American Mass Meeting on Sat
nrday, Of which an official account is
gwen in our columns to-day, was a
heart-clating and a soul-chcering occa-
sion fol- the friends of Fillmore andDon-
elson. The meeting of the Delega-
tons at Morgantown, and the procession
as it passed out of town, CHALLENGED
the admiration Of every beholder; and
as 1t passed on meeting fresh recruits
at every diverging road and foot path,
greeting them with cheers and song,
the gay and enthusiastic cavalcadc of
carriages, buggies, wagons, horscman,
and iootman, ornamcntcd throus hout

minded us Of that "good time" the
campaign of 1910.
At the American Springs, the place
OF meeting, crowds of people we're on
the ground when We got there, and
Delegations came in one after another
until II o'clock, from independence,
Gainesville, Pleasant Valley, Fairmont,
&C., until from 800 to 1000 persons
had assembled. The speakers stand
was decorated with the American flag
from the Morgantown Fillmore Club
Hall, inscribed with the names of Fill
more and Donelson, and all around in
the various vehicles, we're banners, flags
and other trimmings, pertinent to the
occasion. There, too, were the ladies
in goodly numbers, with us, cheering
by their presence and appreciation the
gaypageant. The Morgantown Brass
Band with their lively airs were there,
discoursing the best of music. Glce
Clubs from Rowlesburg and Morgan
town sung we'll and strong, gay, blith-
some and stirring songs--in fact all
was enthusiasm, not however the rev.

The exercises at the grove, inter
spersed with music, songs and speech
cs, were most orderly and agreeable.
The Americans were delighted, and
cool-hcadcd Democrats went away well
pleased. We hope We may have some
more such occasions as the Clinton
Mass Meeting before November. 1t

wanted second term-Douglass was
painting after the succession-and the
Slavery hobby presented fair chance,
if suitably harnessed, to override every
other issue--hence agitation, in its
worst aspect, has been sprung upon us
by the Democratic party. ..
What hare they made By aP The
Democratic party embarked all its cap
ital in the Slavery fight, now what is it
paying them? Well, the question is
soon and readily answered. They, as
the authors of our present distracte d
condition, stand convicted of tramping
IN the dust their solemn promises and
dlsregarding the very pledges upon
which they elected Pierce. But that
is not all. The Democratic PARTY as
the parent and progenitor Of the Black
Republican party Of TIE North! which
has grown up like rank weed in tho
prolific soil of violated Locococo plcdg-
es, and which is even now absorbing
the Democratic party North daily, as
evlnced in the recent election in Iowa,
heretofore staunch Democratic State,
but now Black Republican by 5000!
What confidence can the country
now repose in Democratic platforms or
pledges? Our Union bleeding at every
pore, how can conservative men trust 4
party that will change peaceful Union
into a sectional Babel without grim
ace, and trail their pledges under foot
without shuddcr or an apology?

preceded him. That gentleman yc,
stood in the old Wing ranks, but wen,
for Mr.. Fillmore because he believed
him to be safer and sounder man than
either of the other candidates. He
(Mr. S. mot only preferred Mr.. Fill.
more because he was the best and safest
man, but because he was the candidate
of the American party of this glorious
Union, and occupied the only true ma
tional ground. Mr.. S. continued his
remarks for about two hours, clearly
demonstrating his positions in every
point, not only backed by sound argu-
mcnt and common sense, but fully cor
roborated by the documents themselves.
The shouts of applause that went up
during the delivery of the two speech
cs, told Enthusiastically that what was
said was fully approved and heartily
sanctioned by every one present. It
was gratifying to see many belonging
to the Democratic party pre- sent, who
it is hoped, will lay aside all party pre-
JUDGES and come to the rescue and vote
for the great Statesman who would
Z" rather be right than be President, "
and who alone occupies the broad Ma
tional ground, as broad as the Union
itself--wide enough and strong enough
to hold and support all the Union l6y-
ing Americans, Wings and Democrats
throughout the length and breadth Of
this whole glorious country.
During the exercises Of the day, the
audience were RECALLED and cnl'vencd
by the sweet sounding melodies from
the Brass Band, interspersed with the
interesting songs of the Rowlesburg
and Morgantown Glce Clubs. :
At Al O'clock, p. m. the meeting
separated with the kindliest feelings,
making the wclkin ring with eRthusi-
astc shouts for the candidates Of the
whole Union, Fillmore & Donelson.
1t is gratifying to state the fact that
the best order prevailed during the day
and the Clinton. Fillmore & Donelson
Pic MIC and Mass Meeting, will long
be remembered with pleasurable emo
tlous by every one who was present
The several Delegations. reformed or
the ground and returned to their scve-
raj localities, waving their banners and
flags, amid the shouts of the multitude
and the sweet sounds of music and song.
The Morgantown, Coal Ridge & Flats
Delegations returned to town, in pro-
cession, and after parading through
the principal streets, quietly retired to
their homes, feeling encouraged and
assured that their cause is that of their
country, and that no sacrifice is too
great for its preservation and perpetu-
alton.

Returned to the prue Faith.

Our Southern exchanges state that
Capt. Albert Pike, Of Arkansas, who
flew off at a tangent on account Of the
modification Of the 18th section in the
June platform Of the American party
OF the last American council, has re-
pented his hasty action and has come
back to the support of Filmorc& Don
elson. We are gratifcd at this result
of Capt. Pixies sober second thought.
We never believed that he could long
remain in opposition to the American
party. This is another evidence of
the rapidly increasing strength Of Fill
more and Donclson. All true lovers
of their country, North and South, who
will throw away party prejudices and
look at things as they are, will do as
Pike has done, declare thor intention

nlTTER from Mr.. T1EEy,goRn,

The following letter is from Elk Pre-.
sldent Fillmore in reply to that Of
Windham Robertson, Esq. transmitting
a copy of the preamble and resolutions
adopted by the Wing Convention of
Virginia. ..
BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 9th, 1856.
WYNpHAM ROBERTSON, ESQ.
Sir,--I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of your letter of the
Odd ult., transmitting copy Of the
Preamble and Resolutions adopted by
the Wing Convention of Virginia late
ly assembled at Richmond, by which
that intelligent and patriotic body re-
commended TO their Wing brethren
throughout the State to yield to my
nomination for the Presidency their
active and Jealous support.
Standing, as do, as the known can
didate of another party, / yet receive
this recommendation with gratitude and
pride. feel that it is made, not be-
cause the principles Of the two parties
are identical, nor with q view Of merg-
ing them into each other-for such an
object is expressly dsclaimed by the
Convcntion-but because the princi-
pies which by nomination represents,
approach more nearly to those main
tanned by the Wings of Virginia, than
those of any other candidate; and be-
cause, as the convention was pleased
to say, of their confidence in my late
administration Of the government.
Whatever may DO our differences on
minor subjects, I am sure there is one
ON which We agree--and that one at
this moment is paramount to all others.
! allude to the preservation of the u
mon of these States, and the rescuing
the country from sectional strife. The
question is not SO much, how shall the
government be administered, as how
shall it be preser0ed; and on this great
vital question, national Wings, national
Democrats, and Union-loving Amori-
cans may well act in concert. On this
basis, | shall with great pleasure re-
ceive the votes of all who have conf
dence in my integrity and ability, and
who ask no other pledge than my past
service, for my future conduct This
position seems to me alike honorable to
all. No principle is sacrificed. No
deception is practiced; and | trust that
no ono, casting his vote for me on this
ground, will ever have cause to regret
it.
With many thanks for the fattcripg
manner in which you have been pleased
TO communicate the result Of the Con-
vention, / have the honor to BIO
Your friond and fellow citizen,
WILLARD FILLMORE.
