We can, perhaps, perform no more ac-
eeptable service to our readers than to pub
lish, in as brief and clear manner as pos
sible, the record which MILLARp Full
MORE, the "Nlodel President" presents to
the people of the United States. We do
this with heartfelt pleasure, knowing full
well that no candidate for the Presidential
chair has ever exhibited more honorable
career, or more blameless private life.
HIS YOUTHFUL DAYS.
Millard Fillmore is in the true sense of
the word self-made mar, and it IS fact
well worthy to inspire spirit Of emulation
among the youth of America, that, with
scarcely any exceptions, the eminent men
Of our country have all been The architects
of their own fortunes. cit is true," said
Henry Clay, replying to the sneers of John
Randolph, 81 was born TO no proud patri-
mouial estate !" And it was fortunate, no
doubt, that he could not point back, with
the eccentric lord Of Renoake, 70 his boast
ed line of ancestors; for in such case,
Henry Clay could never have warmed his
noble soul to the wants, the sylnpathies, and
the feelings Of the masses. or gained that
ascendency in their hearts which eutitle BIN
to be hailed as the 'sGreat Comnoner." 1t
is SO in every case. The life Of Nlillard
Fillmore. the candidate Of the American
party for the Office Of President of the Uni
ted States, is another triumphant yindica-
ton Of republican institutions, as alfordiug
that encouragement and opportunity needed
for the full development cf the intellect
and talents of the people. lie, too, has
risen By his own unaided exertions, TO the
highest honors in the Empire State and in
the Nation. The story of his early career
and his subsequent success cannot be too
often told to the young men Of the work
shop and the farm. 1t should be read at
the freside of every hamlet in the land,
and the children be melted to initiate his
example.
Millard Fillmore was born at Summer
Hill, Cayuea county, New York, on the 7th
day Of January, 1900. lie was the son of
a farmer, and early accustomed to toll. =
At an early age he was sent from home to
earn his own support, and at twelve was
placed with clothier to learn the business
of dressing cloth Soon after, he was ap-
prenticed to a wool carder, with whom he
labored faithfully until he reached the age
of nineteen, and became master of bis cal
ling. Many anecdotes are related of
young Fillmore during this interesting PEI
riod of bis life. showing him to have been
early animated by that indomitable spirit
which is the surest guarantee Of success =
He was great reader, and literally "trim-
med the midnight lamp" throughout the
heyday Of his youth, in storing his mind
with these treasures Of knowledge to which
he owes his subsequent greatness. Il may
be hard for the reader who only knows Mr..
Fillmore as the accomplished statesmen and
the finished gentleman, remarkable every

He is IN FAVOR OF a CHANGE IL THE NAT
FERTILIZATION LAWS.
bIr. Fillmore had for several years beer
Of the opinion that a radical change was
needed in our emigration and naturalization
and naturalization laws, and when the
American party, advocating these reforms
openly and zealously, arose Ike q young gi-
ant in It's strength, Mr.. Fillmore was one of
the FIRST to enter its ranks. lie at once
joined the American Order, and is at this
time member IN good standing, of Coun-
Gil No. III, in the city of Buffalo. We
know this to be tue fact, aud if elected to
the Presidency, the American party viii
find that their confidence could never have
been placed in better or more consistens
man.
HE VISITS EUROPE.
Nearly one year ago, Mr. Fillmore sailed
ed for Europe. and since that period has
visited nearly all the Continental Sta tesy
thus adding to his already ripe IDEAS Of gov
ernment, by close examination and com
rarison Of the institutions Of Europe with
those Of our own free and enlightened land.
He has observed for himself the deteriora-
ting and blasting influences of monarchy,
the degrading condition of monarchial gov
eruments, the pail of ignorance which broods
over these lands where free press and free
speech are prohibited, the ruinous ctnse-
quences Of superstition and licensed crimes.
Viewing ali these things in their proper
light, contrasting the fading glory of one
continent with the dawniug greatness ofan-
other, we cannot doubt that Mr.. Fillmore
returns to his own beloved country with, if
possible deeper reverence for its illustri-
Gus founders, a more endearing love for its
eunohling institutions, higher pride ig its
extending influence, than ever before.
HE Is NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT.
| Ga tie I'D Of February, 1856, Mr.. Fill
more was unanimously nominated by tue
American party, in convention, for the Pre-
sidency, with Andrew j. Donelson, of Ten
ncssec, for Vice President. The nanina-
tion was accepted, and every one of his
country is now called upon to do his duty
And if elected, as we earnestly trust he
| will be, to ill again :he Presidential chair,
we have an abiding trust that his admins
trarion will be honorable to himself, glori-
ous to our Union, and true 10 the great doc
trines of the American party.
HIS RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES.
On the 22i day Of Juue, Mr.. FIlaoro
arrived OF New York, and was received
with every demonstration IF regard from,
the corporation of New York aud his fellow
citizens without distinction of party In
course Of a reply to brief addle<s of well
come delivered by an eminent citizen Of
1 New York Mr.. Fillmore uttered the follow
ing patriotic sentiment:
''lf there be those either North or SeutG
vino desire an administration fol the North
as against the South, or for the South as
against the North, they are not the men
who should give their suffrages to me. For
my part know only nv country. my Whole

TO screen him the aristocracy of the

JoHN G. BREcKENRIpGE was one Of those
who volunteered TO 90 from Washington to

public cpi4ion which would allow poor
man to be insulted or murdered with inpu-

TO sLow their disregard Of equality and
justice, the politicians recently assembled at
Cincinnati under tie livery and in the name
Of Democracy, put forward such man as
their candidate, and for the further purpose
Of showing how far the poor and downtrcd-
den could be dc;udod By hypocrisy, aud by
mere name.
As il the issue was not yet sufficiently
clo:.r, another atonemeut seemed to be re-

Because the former was laboring man
aud an actual Demoerat, and the latter was
an Aristocrat, nearly every member of Con-
gress WHO supports Buchanan votes to re-
tain Herbert as has fit companion, and thus
IN effect decides that the poor aud friend
less laborer is made for a hewet of word, to
be slaughtered whenever he shows the spirit
Of independence or asserts his manhood.
