Fillmore and Donelson.

With an e~xuItant heart and nerves which
thrill in common with those of every true
American throughout the Union at the good
tidings that MlLLARD FILLMORE is our chosen
standard bearer-we hoist his pure and I'M
| polluted name at our mast head, resolved to
urge his claims and battle to maintain his
| cause-our own-and the cause of every true
American, until the people gather in their
might and by their ballots reclaim our coun-
try from misrule, and place a at the helm
Of the battered and plundered old Ship OF
State, who once before guided her ever the
sun ken rocks that endangered her progress
and brought her into the wide opel sea OF
safety. The darkest hour is always Just be-
fore dayn-and in the gloom of defeat, when
the murky cloud OF despair had closed and
settled upon our people, one star still lowered
over the horizon, cheering the faint hearted
and encouraging those who saw no means OF
disentangiing our Union from the many for
eigu and domestic troubles into which it had
been plunged by the reckless hand of Pierce
and his crew--but in the person Of him who
knew no North nor South, but whose heart
beat for the Union.
His name will be greeted with cheers and
Joy, and every city, village and town through
out the country will gather together its clans
Of true hearted men, and rallying to the slogan
of FILLMORE and DoNELsoN, march onward
to battle under their proud banner. Our
party has been defeated at the North and
ncattered in defeat at the South, but not for
one moment has the cloud Of despair inter
Nee pied the CLEAN of hope that the time must
icone, when united under one great leader
,iship, and cleaned of the chaT that hindered our
| progress, We should overwhelm our political
foes and gain that aseendancy of which we
were deirauded, by lies ISLANDERS and corrup-
tons of the great miscalled Democracy.
Our readers will scarcely require our cau-
ton, but beware, for a thousand volcanoes
Of corruption will cloud the very heavens
with thier Locotoco and anti-Amerlcan filth

the falsehood will be reiterated at the South
that WILLARD FILLMORE is Il traitor TO her
interests at the North that he is a fulsome
adorer of the South Let them remember
his past ca:eer-,,et them remember the peace
and quiet of the country when he filed the
Presidential chair, and above all. let them re-
member that what Deniocracy-antt-.7mc, ican
focofocoism is at the South-as fully developed
by their thug representatives in both houses
OF the State Legislature, in their total disre-
gard of constitutional rights and privileges
SO is it throughout the Union!
