Tennessee and Virginia Right Side Up.

NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATIoN
Tennessee and Virginia Right Side UP.
We received this morning letter from one
Of the most intelligent and reliable men in Ten
nessee, which closes thus
The nomination Of Fillmore has excited bound
less enthusiasm here. His name alone is tower Of
strength which rises proudly above the storm, and
against whose solid base the black waves Of fanati
cism may dash and break in vain. He will carry
Tennessee by the most splendid majority she has
ever given. / knoto Tennessee, and know she is
sound on Americanism, and reposes the utmost
confidence in the tried integrity of Mllard Fillmore

around the memory of her Jackson, and whilst
true to such recollections she cannot abandon him.

We have resolved on a majority of 10000 for Fill.

This is the spirit in which the American
party will go into the contest Language like
this evinces the proper determination to "carry
the war into Africa, and TO rout the enemy in
his own strongholds. :" We haUe resoIoed ON a
majority Of ten thousand for Fillmore and

this be the watchword in every State where
Anti-Amcricanism has foothold, and it will

From Virginia, State so long under the in
fluence and power Of a pseudo Democracy, we
are daily receiving the most encouraging nc
sounts ofthe prospects of the American party.
From one of the counties in the Northern Neck
we have this moment received a list of subscri-
bers, who unitedly write to us thus
"We do most heartily approve Of the course of
the Ameriean Organ in regard to the platforms !;
but we have now the nomination of Millard Fill
more, whose public acts r platform superior to
any which could have been made. The agtators
at both ends of the Union may assa him in vain
he stands upon foundation which is invulnerable.
IL is said here by all parties that there ,ciH be no
serious opposition to his election I" ,.a.,
Americansl do you hear that from the Old
Dominion? All parties concur in the opinion
in lower Virginia, that there will be no serious
opposition to Fillmore and Doneson! And
why should there be any opposition to this
ticket in Virginia? What right or interest
guaranteed to the South by the constitution
has not Millard Fillmore maintained and en-
forced as President of the United States? Did
he not sign the Fugitive Slave law Did he
not enforce that la0? Can any Virginian or
other Southern man assert that Mr.. Fillmore
failed in any respect, or at any time, to dis
charge his duty towards the South, or any
other portion of the country, and without hes
itation or delay? A representative in Congress
from New York, he carried out by his votes
the will of his constituents, in accordance with
the true doctrine on which a representative
Democracy is based Transferred to the Pres
idency, without pledges or promises, he be-
came co instanti the President Of the nation,
and not Of a section
Acting under the high impulses of an ex-
panded intellect and true American heart
he rose superior to the sectional influences by
which he had been, during lifetime, sur
rounded and not only turned deaf ear to
the syren songs Of fanaticism, but rebuked it
with the sternnessand dignity ofa Washington.
Well may Henry A. Wise have said of the
and Of his administration cit was Washing
ton-like throughout" What fanatic North
or South, obtained power or place under Mil
lard Fillmore? What Union man, North or
South, was repudiated by Millard Fillmores
Not ono. The simple fact that Mr. Fillmore
repelled the advances Of fanatics, and promo
ted friends of the Union and the constitution
to places of trust and honor under the govern
ment; this simple fact alone, is guaranty
to the whole people that under his administra-
ton, the country would be restored to quiet,
peace, and happiness
When Franklin Pierce was installed into
the Presidency, at the end of Mr. Fillmore's
term, he found the country quiet, happy, and
prosperous Thus had Mr.. Fillmore left it,
without single cloud to darken any portion
Of the political horizon. All Was ,ceH What
is the condition of the country now2 We need
not describe it,--indeed, it is almost beyond
the power Of description. What has produced
this most alarming changep 1t has resulted
from reversing the policy Of Mr.. Fillmore
II has been brought about by the miserable
impolicy of Mr.. Pierce, in appointing ultra
men Of both sections of the country to
power and place, and giving up to such men
the guidance Of our national affairs. Discard
ing the Union-nen, as well at the South as at
the North, and yainly endeavoring to build up
party from ultra and opposite materials, Mr..
Pierce has inaugurated an era of disorder, dis
ruption and confusion amongst parties, which
has seriously threatened the existence Of our
Federal Union
