H1r. breckenridge Speech.

John C. Breckenridge having received the unani-
nous nomination for the Vice Presidency, and being
called for, amidst the widest enthusiasm, came for
ward in the convention and said
Mr.. President and gentlemen of the Democratic
National Convention: The result thus announced is
quite unexpected to me as it could be to any gen.
neman on the floor. In the inferior and personal as
pect of the matter beg you to consider all said that
ought to be said on such occasion l am truly and
sincerely without words to convey to you my pro-
found gratitude for such IL unexpected and signal
testimonial of your confidence and favor. | may say
sincerely, and call upon my associates in this body to
bear witness to lis truth, that in my course mem
Der Of this body, have made concealments Of my
preferences, used any art Or taken step to-
wards bringing about this result.
But it IS not my purpose to make speech. |
merely arose to express to you the thanks of true
heart. | may add, too, the declaration of my high
appreciation of the association of my humble name
with that of the distinguished and tried statesman
of Pennsylvania. | have always regarded Mr.. Buch
anan as The last survivor of that noble band of Amer
lean statesmen and orators whose names are associa-
ted with the brightest glores of our country, and
whose deeds constitute its most cherished memorials.
He has come down from that generation TO teach
and guide US of the present. He has lived down
calumny and detractlon, and now stands forth the
peerless champion of Democracy, honored and be-
loved by all his countrymen, and only waiting few
months to be clothed with the highest dignity of the
nation the people can confer.
The platform you have unanimously adopted, |
need not, as State Rights man, say l cordially ap-
prove and endorse. With these true Jefersonian
principles and with the temper of Jackson to enforce
and maintain them, the Democracy will enter this
contest with the determination to add another to the
brilliant victories which have often crowned their
efforts 1t would not be appropriate to discuss any
general principles enter further upon the issues
which will be involved in this contest. | will there
fore conclude by expressing my purpose to devote al
my heart and mind 10 the great duty which has beer
so unexpectedly conferred upon and to strive tc
justify the confidence which you have manifested
Immense applause. Loud cheers within and with
out the hall.

Fillmore in New JERSEY.

We learn from the american Organ
that the friends of FILLMORE and loN-
ELsoN in New Jersey are carrying on the
canvass with a spirit and enthusiasm
which presages well for our glorious cause
Organizations of the most spirited kind
are rapidly being formed throughout the
State, and immense mass meetings are
being held. A tremendous gathering of
the friends of FILLMORE recently took
place at Newark. 1t is represented to
have exceeded anything in the way of a
political demonstration ever before wit
messed in that State. Eloquent and stir
ring addresses were delivered. and the
widest enthusiasm prevailed We think
New jersey may be safely pnt down for
FILLMORE.

and spirits, that stories of lukewarmness
and abandonment Of our candidates must
be based upon something in the future diff
terent from the past, to be true that North
and South the friends of our candidates are
true as weil-tempered steel, and are work
'4ng with more heart, zeal and confidence as
the canvass progresses. The hearts of
true national men, North and South. beat
in unison with each other, and their hands
are being vigorously applied to common
labor, and for common result; and there
is not the least reason, III any section, for
distrust of friends in any other Let not
the enemy reap any fruits from the insidu-
Gus policy pursued by them We say to
you that it appears to us from this point of
observation, that if all who in their hearts
prefer Millard Fillmore for President shall
vote for him, he will be triumphant!y clcc-
ted.
We do not pretend to direct, govern, OF
control the movement of the American
cause, That is amatter solely in the hands
OF the people at large. It is theirs; they
originated it. We believe our candidates.
however, are infinitely stronger amongst
the peopie than among politicians, who
happen at this time to be in power, or strug-
Cling to acquire it. Let their friends be
OF good cheer. Let them do their duty,
and they viii be astonished at their great
strength at the polls. Let each man 90 to
work and confde IN has friends else,chere,
and the cictory IS ours No cunningly
devised stories should induce them for one
moment to think of taking side between
the candidates of those dangerous section
al Organizations which are now struggling
to concentrate the North against the South,
or the South against the North. They
should, and will, both be overthrown. The
count y requires repose and demands safe
ty. The friends of Fillmore and Donelson
are the friends of the Union. They have
the power to elect them, and thus strength
en- the bonds of that friendship and conf
dence between the North and the South
which in other days added such power and
glory to the Republic.
Let us now pledge ourselves each to the
other that EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY
to our candid ties and our cause, and YOU
may rely upon it the country will be saved
from the dangers that encompass it, and
restored to the quiet and confidence which
blessed it at the close of Mr. Fillmores S

Fillmore Demonstration in Cincinnati.

On the 9th ultimo there was glori-
oils FILLMORE demonstration at Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and Newport and Covington,
Kentucky. Our exchanges contain glow
inc accounts of it. We have only room
for the subjoined extracts concerning
this grand affair, which is pronounced
to have been the most imposing political
SDectacle ever witnessed in the West
Surely, Americans of Arkansas, while
cur brethren are hard ct work, up and
doing, battling nobly in our great cause,
YOU will rot be idle Let us send up a
shout which shall be heard in response to
the calls which come to us from every
direction FILLMORE and the Union =
1t is a glorious slogan. Let it float over
hill and plain, lake and river, through
the hamlet and above the crowded mart
and its echoes shall be heard on the 4th
Of next March, as the people say amen,
to the oath which MILLARD FILLMORE
Will take to support the Constitution of
the United States and administer the
laws in conformity thereto.
The Cincinnati; Times of the 2Sth ult.,
says:
yesterday was glorious day for the
Union. The Fillmore and Donelson de-
monstration exceeded, in numbers and
enthusiasm, all anticipations- The peO-
Die were here from the North and the
South, and from the East and the West.
Although no notice was given of the demon
Stration except in the Fillmore papers of
the West, the number of strangers in the
city yesterday is variously estimated at
from twenty to twenty-five thousand
They were not gathered together at any
one point, SO that fair estimate could be
made"
Speaking of the procession, the Times
says:
The sidewalks of the streets through
which the procession paraded were almost
blocked up with people, from which cheer
after cheer went up for Fillmore and Don
elson, and were heartily responded to by
those in the procession. When the two
divisions of the column met in front of the
Times office, the streets presented a sea
Of heads in every direction, and the
cheers for Fillmore and the Union were
deafening
AS the procession passed along the
levee the scene was a magnificent one
Not less than 10000 people were assem-
bled on the wharf, while the windows and
roofs of the houses were filled or covered
with people, many of them ladies' Each
delegation or organization was received
with cheers, and the waving of handker-
chiefs and hats. The houses fronting the
levee were mostly decorated, which added
10 the magnifcencc of the scene"
We learn from the Memphis Eagle d,
Enquirer that the Kentuckians were out
IN great numbers, and that the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed Eloquent speeches
We're made, and from one end of the city
tOthe other great shout went up for FILL
MORE and DoNELsoN, the National Union
candidates.

PROFESSIONS VS.. PRACTICE.--We doubt
whether an instance can be found in the
history of any party of any country, where
subsequent acts have been more directly
in the face and eyes of solemn resolutions,
than they have been in the opening of the
Slavery agitation by the present Democra-
tic party. The following are the resolu-
tions adopted on the subject by the Balti-
more Convention, in 1852:
Resoircd, That the Democratic party of
the Union will abide by and adhere to the
faithful execution Of the acts known as the
Compromise measures, settled by the last
Congress-, the act for the reclaiming of fu-
gitives from service included; which act,
being designed to carry out an express pro-
vision OF the Constitution, cannot, with e.
deity thereto, be repealed or so changed
as to destroy or impair its efficiency.
Resotced, That we will resist all at
tempts at renewing, in Congress, OF out of
it, the slavery agitation, under whatever
shape and color the attempt may be made.
Could language be more expressive, OF
pointed? And could acts more directly
opposite be possible, than those which have
been performed by the party since? What
dependence can or ought to be placed in a
party that thus violates its most solemn
and formal enunciations of principles and
practice? Is it now a time to continue in
power party thus recreant, that thus tri-
ies not only with its own acts and self res
pect, but with the peace, and even exis-
tence Of the government? What value
can attach itself to any platform which
such party may construct? The above
resolutions should be carefully read and
pondered over by all intelligent citizens.
They are eminently suggestive.
The st. Louis Republican states that
the contest in Illinois between the three
parties is carried on there in most excl
ting manner. Never before were the peo-
pie so thoroughly aroused throughout the
whole State. They turn out at political
meetings in all weather and under all pos
sible circumstances. The Republican de-
clares that Fremont is losing ground, that
large numbers who, awhile ago, talked
of supporting him, now, since they dis
cover the black flag of disunion as his
banner, are turning into the Fillmore line,
and will do all they possibly can to cause
his election; and although the the Repub-
lican, being strong Buchanan journal,
will not admit that Fillmore will carry
the State, still it AYERS that his supporters
are carrying on the war with determined
stubbornness and enthusiasm which are
worthy of all praise.

NORTH CARoLINA.-We learn, (says
the Raleigh, North Carolina, Register,
from highly intelligent friend, who has
just returned frem a general tour, that
the friends of Fillmore and Donelson are
in the best possible spirits, and working
like beavers in every quarter, with great
confidence of success. The late move
ments of the old line Wings has given
fresh energy to our friends, and dispirited,
in proportion, their opponents. The same
friend informs us that, on his travels, he
met and converSed with men of intelli-
gence from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana,
in all of which States everything looks
well for the American cause. The state
ments of the Louisville Journal in regard
to the true condition of affairs in Kentucky
are fully confirmed, while in Ohio the
changes in favor of Fillmore are immense.

The Sweet German Accent"

The meeting of Red Republican Rad
| lcals, German Atheists and infidels, and
foreign disorganizers of every class and
sect, which was held at the Tabernacle
In New York, on the 22d ult, and to
which we referred in our issue of the
10th instant, is exciting attention and
following from the correspondence of the
New York Erpress, and in our next
issue we shall reproduce a very eloquent
article from that able journal, which We
would particularly commend to the careful
attention of our readers:
The German Red Republican Meeting-An
Insult to The American People.
To tie Editors of the " T. Express:
| have ever viewed with regret the for
nation of exclusive foreign companies,
such rs the German Rife Company"
the ''Irish Brigade &c, &C., as having
a tendency to foster a foreign spirit and
prevent the acquisition of that American
spirit and feeling which every true Amer
can, whether foreign or native born; should
possess But Messrs. Editors 1 was not
prepared to see this foreign spirit SO bold
ly avowed when applied to our political
institutions, as shown by the German
meeting last evening, and reported this
morning in your paper Why, sirs, my
very blood boils in my veins when read
it-a body of foreigners assemble as
body of foreieners-not as American citi-
zens-tO elect President to govern Am
erican citizens-at which not one Ameri-
can air is played by the band, or one Am
erican toast is given-where nought is
heard but the 'Marseillaise' and other
Red Republican tunes, amid the waving
of red silk flags, and red and gold ban
ners, and even to the tying of their red
cravats to wave. Where-where, would
ask, were the stars and stripes2 Is this
the party that is to elect our next Presi-
dent7 Can any true American, care
not whether he be foreigner or native
born, support such party2 Is this the
''great German party that is to elect Ere
mont? l had supposed when a man came
TO this country and became a citizen, he
became an American citizen, but it ap-
pears | am mistaken. Again [ ask, can
any true american citizen support such
party? For one. / consider this meeting
an open and deliberate insult to the whole

THE CAPITOL ExTENsIoN-Th oppo-
sition to military superintendent of the
capitol extension at Washington was abadon
ed on the last days of Congress, and an ad-
ditional sum was voted to continue the
work. The complete plan of the extend
ed Capitol contemplates one of the most
beautiful and magnifc ent edifces in the
world. Its length will be over 800 feet,
and its breath more than ESQ, and its
height from the foundation to the pinnicle
of the dome will be $50 feet. The original
estimate for the two wings was 81 100000.
More than So, 100000 have been already
appropriated. The estimate for the dome
on the plan of a civil engineer and architect
was Sl00, 900; but itisnow ascertained that
the probable cost will exceed one million.
and half. The extension of the Capitol
was begun July 4th, 1851. The work
has been diligently pursued for five years.
At least three years more will be required
to complete it, and the aggregate cost will
be three times what was estimated. The
edifce when completed will certainly be
magnificent national structure.

Let 1t tell go One reason which influ-

longer to battle for FILLMORE

all that sort of stuff Bah! Fiddle on
