The statement that was made at Philadel-
phia, that Mr.. Fillmore was not member of
the American party, was fatty contradicted by
the President Of the Council No 1T, of Buff
falo who gave the assurance, at Canandaigua,
that he himself was present when the obliga-
tion of each of the degrees was administered to
Mr. Fillmore, and that he is a member Of the
Order in good standing
Daily American organ., 1856-02-28
Exactly So.

The American party are the first in the field,
with an unexceptionable candidate, and there ia
really no use in the Democrats putting up one, un
less they really want to elect a Black Republican
Richmond Wing.
The Sag NIGHTS would prefer the election OF
a sectional candidate to any conservative Amer
lean. They have lived upon sectional agita-
ton, and are determined to make that the is
sue in the ensuing contest, The Richmond
Enquirer and the Washington Union have
already foreshadowed this course of policy. II
there is any sincerity in their professions Of
love for the Union, it can only be proven by
adopting the suggestion of the Whig, for q
love for the Union will certainly demand Of
them a sacrifice Of their partisan feelings, and
as the Washington Union has already endorsed
Mr.. Donelson's Democracy, they had better
hoist the names of Fillmore and Donelson and
thus effectually "crush out" fanaticism and
sectionalism, and attest their devotion to the
Union.

Hon. Andrew Stewart, Of Pennsylvania.
This distinguished statesman is now in this
city, at the National Hotel. 1t viii be recol-
lected among the old politicians of the day,
that Mr.. Stewart has never made mistake in
his calculations for the Presidency. In 1910
he was the advocate of Harrison; in 1s4s the
first who nominated Taylor, and in 1856, Cat
the 22d convention in Philadelphia which
nominated Fillmore and Donelson as the stand
ard-bearers of the American party,
In the two first. cases, his counsels prevailed,
and the candidates were elected; in the pres
ent case there can be no doubt of a like result
In the ratification of this nomination, which
will take place in our city, let the American
party do honor to this distinguished and sue
cessful gentleman.

WASHINGTON, ID. G.
Elective Franchise In Washington.

Mr.. Meacham, Chairman Of the Committee
on the District Of Columbia, yesterday intro
duced bill in the House of Representatives,
which was referred to the Committee on the
District of Columbia, providing that, from and
after It's passage, every free white male resident
of Washington of the age Of twenty-one years,
(vagrants paupers, felons, and persons non
con,pos n,sntis excepted,) who shall have resi-
ded in the city one year Immediately preceding
the day of election, and who shall be citizen
of the United States at the time he offers to
vote, and shall have paid the school tax and
oil taxes on personal property due from him,
shall be entitled to vote, in the Ward in which
he shall be on the day of election bona tide
resident, for the various officers who are elec-
tive.
Here, then, is the issue, and we are right
glad it las come. The people of Washington
are not the only people interested in this bill !;
the whole country is interested, and the great
masses of the people are opposed to it The
maiority of the inhabitants of this city, as has
been proven by two elections, are opposed to
it. Why should this privilege be conferred
upon these foreigners Why should foreign
ers who have been in this country only five
wears be authorized to vote in our municipal
elections The very men who are now advo-
eating the granting of this privilege to foreign
ers, but few years ago were opposed to CIV
ing the elective franchise to the native poor I;
they insisted upon property qualification /;
but now, to crafty their ambition and to Sc
cure share of the municipal Offices, they seek
to destroy that provision in the Charter which
requires foreigners to be naturalized one year
before exercising the elective franchise.
The introduction of this bill is undoubtedly
intended to affect the ensuing municipal cleo
ton; and we hope the Americans of Congress
viii attach to it a provision, requiring all for
eigners to reside here twenty-onc years before
they shall exercise the privilege of voting; and
we call upon the Americans who will assemble
in mass meeting tomorrow night to declare
their opinion upon this question. 1t is blow
directly at the interests Of the city, and the
first shot in the campaign of '56.

From the Richmond Wing.


Contrary to our expectations for some days past,
the Philadelphia American Convention has termi-
mated its protracted and stormy abors in a manner
gratifying to every friend Of the Constitution and
the Union, and most auspicious for the harmony
and best interests Of the country. We hail the
nomination of Millard Fillmore for the Presidency
of the republic with feelings of the highest salts
faction and pleasure. He was our first choice four
years ago, he has been all along our first choice
fer the coming contest, and we now proudly nail
his flag to the mast, and mean to battle for his
success with all the power and energy, with all the
zeal and enthusiasm, which it is possible for us TO
command. ~ y.
/ The life and acts OF Mr.. Fillmore, the excellency
and conservatism of his administration during one
of the most trying periods Of our national existence
is bis own best eulogy. In himself alone, in his
ability, in his integrity in the purity and compre
hensveness of his principles, as illustrated and
tested in times of unusual difficulty and danger, is
included platform broad and strong and sound
enough to command the enthusiastic support of
every freeman and patriot in the land whether!
living In the North or the South, the East or the
West. gs.s.s.t4n
IN word he is thorough, true, tried national
man, embracing in his affections, and in the scope
of his policy all sections and divisions Of the
try alike-knowing no North, no South, no East,
no West, but looking with an eye single to the
general good Of common country, bound together
as sovereign States under the protecting agis of
common constitution. Such is the man now pre-
sented for the suffrages of the American people
for the highest Office within their gifta man with
out spot or bemish, untinctured with scctionaiism
and hating Aboltionism with perfect hatred. He
has been, tried, and not found wanting He has
served the country with fidelity and zed, andre
ceived for that service, so ably, faithfully and pa
triotically rendered. the voluntary tribute of COM
mendstion and applause from men Of all parties
and all portions of the Union. And such is the
man the times again demand at the helm of State ;
one around whom the conservative, law-abiding
constitution and Union-loving everywhere can rally
without distrust or apprehension a sound, safe
just man sagscious, firm, prudent, and expert.
