In Favor of Fillmore.

The Philadelphia Daily Ntrs, hitherto not poll
teal paper, places Fillmore and Donelson at the
head of its columns, and remarks:
Thus procaiming our preferences, we know
that reflect the sentiment Of an overwhelming
majority OF the people Of Philadelphia, and, ~e
verify believe OF Pennsy lVania. No man nov liv.
ing has a stronger hold on the affections and con
fdeuce Of the American people than Millard Fill
morr, aud eminently does his past career show that
be is deserving Of it,
"The foundation Of my preference" said the Ia
mented Clay, in a letter TO Daniel Ullmsn, in 1859,
us that Mr.. Fillmore has administered the EKscu.
tive Government with signal success and ability.
He has been tried and found true, faithful. honest
and conscientious" These were Mr. Gays reasons
for his preference in 1882 and these are reasons
now. As is well remarked bya much esteemed
contemporary, rho he is, and rhdt he is, We all
know, and hotr he has been tried, and neper been
found lcaiiiHs. He comes before Us with the heTl-
tsge OF a Clay snd Webster-and is the very man,
in these trying aud critical times, TO preside over
all parts of the Republic. with justice and equity
for all, and with firm hand TO reform and redress
any wrong thai may be attempted in one section oil
the country against another. With him as the can
didale OF the National American party, no platform
is at all necessary His administration Of the Cow
erument for nearly three years. is platform enough
for any reasonable nTn. Tine man is the main thing
nov. To have sound, safe man, secures sound
aud safe principles. Willard Flilmore's Plato, N II

Lieut.. Governor Leake, of Virginia, wound up
his TRADE in the Democratic Convention,
against the American nominees, met with the
following just and sensible rebuke from Gov.

Letm exhort this Convention to harmony
Let there be no sectional jealousy or bicker

From the Baton Rouge Gassitc We clip the state.
ment that Mr.. Duncan Stuart the District attorney
of the Sixth Judicial District Court which was IN
session few days since, moved the Court, that
George M'Gowan, one of the Grand Jurors for the
Parish be discharged, on the ground that he was
not anaturalized, citizen.
The Court, in questioning the man, brought out
the fact that he alien, and had voted at the
last eieciiOr and had also ercsed tie privilege of
the franchise for The last ten or nceioe yearG The
Gazette pertinently SAYS:
SO that at every election, since that time this in
famous scoundrel has been guilty of moral, if not
of legal perjury. Notwithstanding he knew that he
not eBtited to citizenship yet.he sneaked into
the Grand inquest Of this parish, to find bill Of in
dictment against AEnericaH citizeR. This man
thrusts himself into the very sanctuary Of a trbu-
nal, that is held sacred, and cannot be decorated
by the footsteps Of those who do not possess the
qualifications of citizenship. Such unscrupuous
conduct of foreigners has produced the scenes of
bloodshed, that have disgraced the country. For
these encroachments and for consequent scenes Of
riot, disorder and boodshed, we hold that the Dee
mOcratic party are responsible.
