OPINIONS OF THE Press.

Philadelphia nominations, that they betrav,to al
unusual amount, a genuine and ardent gra,ihca
tion with the American ticket. But IL is usual. w
are aware, when party nominations TO importan
offices are made, for the journals in interest IL

entirely forced and Fictitious. II is not difficult
to distinguish the deghtdeep seated in the NOR
ais and the patriotism of our people. which tho
nomination of Mr.. Fillmore has produced from
the false buster and artificial enthusiasm, with
which politicians accept the action and perform
the bidding of their |. aders 1t is evident that
the presentation of Mr.. Fillmore's name is not
merely assemted to, that is not merely adopted
BY par,sans party proceeding, but that 1t Is
eagerly received and rapturously responded to by
vast preponderauce of the scundest and purest
sentiment of the country. We cont,nae our ex.

Is n national conservative. ,whoee PRESIDE ntal
administration not orly commanded the rcpect
of the North and South, both on internal and
foreign policy, but snguarly addressed itself
to the whole popular regard. Since his re-

(rrom the Rochester lN. " American)
In the integrity, ability and patriotism OF Mil
lard Fillmore, the country has the hrmest and
mes, unwaverng confidence. During the period
when he served the nation in its highest office he
displayed all the qualities of thegreat statesman
and the upright citizen. Firm AMI unyielding
in the performance of every duty pertaining to
his Office he was conciliatory aud 70, bearing TO
wards those opposed 10 his administrations ma
hgned his character and his motives. The sound
ness of his judgement-ihe kcrnness of his Fo-
,ieat foresight -and the unbcnding fidelity with
which he performed his constitutional obligations
TO the whole country, have exalted his name and
his fame To- the highest place in the affections OF
the conservative. law revereucing and law abiding
people Of the United States. Mr.. Fillmores
character ut this day, inspires greater degree
of confidence than that of any.other man in the
nation. That proudest Of appelations IAN HON
EST MAN" is accorded to him by universal con
sent. He is now before the American people as
a candidate for President. 1t would have been
impossible for thcsConventien to have made
more judicous selection. He possesses all the
elem, nts Of strength, and we have the strongest
possible confidence that he will be triumphantly
elected. He has been ubsen, from the country
for many months, and has in no way, directly or
indirectly, aided in placing himself in nomination

From the Louisville Journal
We feel thrill of joy in announcing to-day
the nomination by the American Convention ut
Philadelphia of Willard Fillmore for the next Pres
idency and of Andrew Jack son Douclson for the
Vice Presidency This nomination will be enthu-
siasticay greeted throughout the whole South
and we trust throughout the whole North rs the
very best that could have been made. The high
est hopes of those who hoped most from the Phil
adephia Convention fully realized. Other
and most worthy names have been much thought
of and spoken of in connection with the nomina-
ton for the Presidency. The Hon. John j Crit
tendon and the Hon. Carrot Davis have myriods
of friends and admirers and the nomination of
either of them would have been greeted with
loud applause, but there be no question that
the name of Fillmore will excite amore univer
could have awakened. MIR. Fillmore has been
tried in the greatest exigencies of his country
and was never found wanting. The most power
.ful array of adverse influences could not turn
him IA hairs breadth from the straight line OF
duty. Even when the voice of old political
friends and the fierce clamors of his own sec
tion were raised against him. he taltered not for
moment but pressedan in obedience to the cal
of his country. And his triumph was noble ant
cnfnplpfe Alfhouph his nolitiCaI re-
viled him during the greater portion of his AID
mnstration, yet, when they found that he was
not.a candidate for reelection, they united with
the rest Of the country in rendering him homo
for his wisdom and matchless patriotism. .

and Donelson will NEST assuredly be the mex
President and Vice President of the Unite
