RoxsURY FOR FILLMoRE.-A well-sttended and
spirited meeting Of the American party Of Roxbury
Massachusetts,, was held on Saturday evening last
ut Guild Hall Sylvester Bliss, Esq, was appoint
cd Chairman, and in few appropriate and intro
ductory remarks called upon Jas. NJ Keith, ESQ.
TO address the audience Mr.. Keith responded.
and gave condensed and most interesting &C.
count OF the proceedings Of tho National Council
and the Nominating Convention recently convened
at Philadelphia de proved to the satisfaction Of
all present that in many and very important par.
tculars these gatherings Of the Americans Of the
Union had, through more than one reporter, been
unsupported and miSrepresented. lie also disclosed
the fact that no efforts were spared on the part OF
certain representatives Of the Press from Massa.

lives and the acts Of the respected delegation of
our own State. He unhesitatingly endorsed the
nomination Of Fillmore and Donelson, and believed
that the party had presented TO the people ticket
that could and would be elected. Il. w. Bum
stead, Esq, then rose and offered series of reso
lutions ratifying the nominations. Co. Brewster
followed, la stirring speech, and pointed to the
prospects in the future bright and glorious, lead

Daily American organ., 1856-03-05
From the Nashville Patriot.

We have yet to converse with the first Ameri-
can who did not express himself more than salts
fed with the nominations of Millard Fillmore and
Andrew J. Doneson. Even our good friends, the
Democracy, are forced to admit that it is good
ticket, aye, and strong ticket. Above all men
does Millard Fillmore stand supreme in the affec-
tious of the masses of Tennessee. He was her
choice four years ago for the nomination, and he
was the candidate of her delegation unanimously
in the Convention which nominated him on Mon
day, and she will attest her appreciation of him by
casting her electoral vote for the American ticket
in November next by majority Of thousands
Had we no other index of such result than
the exultant expression of American countenances
in this city yesterday, 1t surely was enough. Con-
gratulstions and rejoicings were the order of the
day. The disorderiy proceedings of a few factious
Northern fanatics, which threatened the disruption
of the convention, had plunged our friends In
doubt, and not a few felt msgivings as to the re-
suit. They knew the fearful extent of the anti
slavery feeling which the reckessness and imbecil-
ity of the administration had aroused among the
Northern people. They were afraid that the dele
gates from that section had entered the convention
with the determination to force upon it such mea-
sures as would have certainly rent il asunder and
scattered the party and its hopes to the winds
They breathed freer when they found that mod
crate national men from both sections, by q large
majority had agreed to recognise the rights of the
Southern people in the Territories and whilst
earnestly deprecating the agitation of threatening
sectional questions, had, by majority of two to
one, sustained the Ksnsas-N Nebraska legislation,
aud refused to declare in favor of the restoration
of the Missouri restriction line These were satis-
flying evidences that sense Of justice, that the
constitution and nationalisn, had triumphed in the
Convention. But the crowning act which attests
the National Conserv tive, Union sentiment of the
Convention, was the nomination for the highest
Offices in the government of two such distinguish
cd repressn natives of that sentiment Millsrd Fill

FLIsHT OF NEGRO WEscH WITH A WHITE
MAE--THE FATAL KIss--THE CAPrURE-THg PAR
TIES JUGGED.--Early yesterday morning negro
woman belonging to Mr.. Jos. Newland, mer
chant well and favorably known in this city decamp-
ed from the premises of her master, and, by
previous understanding, met a miscrcant Abo-
zionist by the name of Elisha Hyler, from New
York, on Main street, at the Portland Railroad
Depot, and the twain took passage and repaired to
Portland, and thence across to New Albany.
The womaH was most georgeously attired, being
dressed in a rich black silk robe, hung with innu-
merabe floating founces. magnificent set of
furs graced her shoulders and neck, while over
her interesting physiognomy hung thick green
vail. Thus equipped, no one eyer suspected her
of being of Ethiopian extraction; but the pair
were foed in their endeavors to escape by slight
indiscretion on the part of the man. After the
boat had reached the Indiana side, and when the
passengers had gone ashore, the party in question
was about to leave also, when the New York gent
concluded that he would steal delectable kiss from
her ruby lips and, in order to do this, the thick
vail was raised, which displayed to the view of the
collector on the boat the color of the woman's
face-whereupon he called upon her for her free
papers, and they not being forthcoming, he instant
ly brought her back to Kentucky and put her in
possession of an officer, who brought her up to the
city to the Office of Esquire Matlack, who, after
full hearing of the case, had her committed to jail
to await an order from her master. Mr.. Newland,
up to that period, was not aware that she had left
his family residence. rHs.aa
At the critical juncture when the woman was
seized on the ferry, her valiant and enamored
modern New York Don Qui1ote suddenly disap-
peared, but vigiant and efficient officers were dis
patched in quest of him, who, nfter short but
diligent search, found him in New Albany, and
brought him to this city and lodged him in jail,
where he win remain until speedy course of law
shall send him up to Frankfort to serve the State
for a few years. Louisville Democrat
