The nomination Of Willard Fillmore for
President by the American Convention, is
hailed we see by some journals in his in
terest, as sure pledge of a great triumph to
the party which has set him up. We look
at it in a very different light. lie was nom
mated by the thorough-going o.slayery
men from the South, aud their few associate
dOughfaces Of the North. Yet he will get but
small vote even from the South. I'm the
main, the sayeholding States will give their
votes for the democratic nominee (Pierce
quite likely) because they are sure that he
and all who cling to that party will do what
ever they ask for, Fillmore could do no
more than that, and perhaps would do some
thing less Besides, change OF front in
face Of an enemy is always attended with
risk. Fillmore cannot therefore get the vote
Of the Slave States
As for the Free States, among those mon who
once voted for him there will be found a few
thousands who "iorget nothing and learn
nothing politically, who will vote for him
again. These, with his adherns associates
in the Order, may possibly divide the Free
State vote, so as to secure u democratic pro-
slavery victory, Any other candidate set IN
by the American Party might do rs much,
and could do no more That danger to the
Republican cause is one which has ALWAYS
been admitted, and is a real one, not to be

The Enlistment Difficulty with England

The attempt of the English Government to
enlist soldiers in the United States for the
Eastern war, and the prompt check put by
the United States to the proceeding, the pub
lie are quite familiar with. Ofcourse the mat
ter led to u long diplomatic correspondence,
most or all Of which has been recently pub
i,hcd in some of the large journals, and is
exciting good deal Of attention. 1t is al
together too long for our columns. We can
give but brief notice of the chief points
o. it.
nder date of June 9th 1855, Mr.. Marcy,
[ 5. Secretary of State, writes to the Amcri-
can Minister at London, Mr.. Buchanan, that
the enlistment of soldiers for the British ar
my was going on in our country. lie is told
10 bring the matter to the notice of her Ma
'esty's Government-and that the |. S. Gov
oTnmont expects such illegal acts to be disa-
vowed and the Offenders punished Mr.
Buchanan does so. The British Government
said stop had been put to it Mr. Marcy
again says it has been kept up-and insists
on a stop and reparation, July l6, 1855,
Lord Clarendon says any infringement of the
[. 5. laws was contrary to the wishes and in
s;ructions of his Government-admits that
recruiting had been done, but says it was not
authorized. Sept. 5, 1855, Mr. Marcy shows
that the English Minister at Washington,
Mr. Champion, was concerned in the bust
ness. Lord Clarendon gets little hufy--
says the L. S. Government hunted up evil
d-nce in an unhandsome way, and that the
citizens of the United States have sent arms
and stores to Russia. Mr.. Marcy says, as to
that, the Americans had sold arms and stores
to Great Britain also-both in conformity
with international law,-and that all that
had nothing to do with the case in hand
\ removal Of Mr.. Champion is insisted on,
or his walking papers will be given to him,
Under what seems to be a rather unfair re-
presentation of the main points Of the cor
raspondence, by Lord Palmerston to Parlia-
mcnt, a great fume is raised there, at the
ment But the publication of the cores
pondcnce shows the duplicity Of the English
in so plain light that the end
of it all must be a justification of our Cow
ornment both at home and abroad unless
indeed it may be iaultcd for not promptly
telling Mr., Champion to go home, in the time
oft. lie will probably have to quit at all
events, As for any bloody and costly quar-

ton. But Mr.. Fillmore stands no chance at
all Again it says "Not only is Mr.
Fillmore notoriouslya Southern and sectional
candidate renomnated on a Southern and sec
tional platform he is VIGOROUSLY nominated,
notwth any expectation to elect him, but as a
mere bob to the tail of another sectional kite.
and as a means Of helping in that capacity to
elevate Wise, Pierce, Douglas, or whoever
the nominee ofthe Cincinnati convention nav
/ be, to the Presidential chair" The Journa,
of Commerce is enraptured but dubious ale
will command large vote, but whether sufi-
cient to carry him in remains to be seen. -
The v. y Herald considers 1.-THE American
party demolished and the Wing party gllva-
nised,' and thinks Mr. Fillmore ..has no
chance, from present appearances, of a solit-
airy Northern State, and but n sorry show
/ for more than three States ia the South. ."
The y. Y. Courier and Enquirer says "Thc
| party that dares not 60 into battle under
leader and with standard Of its own, is no
longer party-it is a mere collection Of mer-
cenaries. 1t no longer fights for a cause !;
spoils are its only object" Again it says
"Not even his strongest friends can count

very good reason that they cannot securely

itably divide the two sections of the country
during the canvass Willard Filmorc's horos-
cope would be the very last one any sensible
seer in the Know Nothing party would I'M
dertakc to calculate" The Ercning Post
says 1.-The nomination made yesterday at
Philadelphia does not in the least change the
nature of the great strife of opinion which is
going on in this country. There are but two
great parties in the United States-those who
seek the extension of slavery and those who
resist it. The friends of extension are now

Though the split in the Philadelphia Coun-
