BENTON ON THE PREslDsEcY.--Old Bullion
is out in letter, in which he says that he
cannot be candidate for the Presidency un-
der any circumstances. Maguanmous Sem
ator! But he is still cruel when he means
to be Kind, and intends to innict upon the
public condensation of the Congressional
debates Tor the past sixty years This, he
thinks, with some minor literary work, will
occupy the remainder of his life We should
think so. MIR. Benton then makes NOM
nation for the Presidency, thus; "a new
man, unconnecied with The agitation, is what
the country wants." That means Lieut.. Col.
John c. Fremont. As he has not been n
politics he had confne his attention to

Mr.. FILLMoRE's BUFFALO LETTER.-A
Washington correspondent writes MS follows
of Mr.. Fillmore's Buffalo letter, n copy of
which will be found in our paper today:
Fillmore's great letter on .Americanism,"
published in Saturday evenings Express, was
received here on Sunday morning. Ii came
like the Nautilus Engine Bombshell" among
the Black Republicans. The letter has given
the Americans more character and pluck 10
work on for the future. The Republican
leaders here have already backed down and
given way under the force of its PRESSURE
The Express WIS sought for in every direc.
ton, but there was only one or two copies in
town-and there was ut least fifty applicants
for them. The American party have now
every element of success all that is Leeded to
ensure the election of Fillmore and Donelson
is more concentration and energy in Con.
gress. There should be more prominent
leaders on the floor. ii. Winter Davis, Jacob
Broom, and others, should take stand in the
house. Clayton, Crittendrn, and Bell, should
also appear as leaders OF the American party
in the Senate, ready at all times to support
and advocate their principles before the
country. -ft I'D

t7Y- The democratic papers are Boosting
largely about their prospects of success in
the approaching Presidential election. These
boastings are all CANNON, intended TO mis-
lead. The "gay deceiyers" themselves don't
believe what they assert. The truth is, there
is only one way to defeat Fillmore and DON
elson--by fusion between the Democracy
of the Free States and the Black Republi-
cans. Movements are on foot looking TO
such q combination. If successful, the
American ticket may iai-otherwise it is
bound to win.

Henry a WISE lNsASE.-It is said and
believed in Richmond, by persons who have
the very best opportunity Of knowing, that
Gov. Wise's mind is very much impaired
indeed so much so that he should not be
held responsible for his language or writings
An effort has been made to suppress these
facts, but they have leaked out If this be
so-and there seems to be no reason TO doubt
it-Mr' Wise is entitled TO the sympathy and
pity, rather than the enmity, of those against
whom his yirulcnt, yet harmless ratings, are
directed Baltimore Patriot.
