the most encouraging accounts OF the
progress of the American party OF that
State. He says while he writes, Mr.. Es'

are going to have a barbecue near the
same place next Tuesday to eat up
the scraps left. There will be enough
left, if it has not been wasted.
After dinner, Hon. CLANCY Burr, OF
New York, entertained the crowd with
forcible and telling speech. lie
showed that the Pierce democracy had
fallen out with Gen. Pierce because
he had proved traitor to them in that
State, and sought the favor ofthc free
soil party by turning every hard dem
ocrat out of office, and supplying their
places with the worst sort of freesoil-
ers. Mr.. B. said that large portion
of the hards had left the democratic
party and gone for Mr.. Fillmore
that New York was safe for Mr.. Fill
more, and Buchanan had no chance
there at all. He (Mr. Burr) had been
sent by the American party to the
South Gas New York was safe for our
ticket to do what he could in this Sec
ton. He said that he had been call
ed a freesoiler, but he said that whoev-
or said so was liar. He had been
fighting them all his life as an old line
hard Dickinson democrat, but when
his party pandered to ireesoil influence
he left it, and now is at work for Mil
lard Fillmore as the safest man in the
Union.
The speaking was continued next
day with a large crowd and several
speeches, but we were not very we'll
and did not 60 out. We understand
that all things went off well. There
was not single occurrence to mar the
harmony of the whole affair. We
never saw so large a crowd behave so
well before. Taken all together, the
whole thing had a fine effect, and will
give to Mr.. Fillmore the vote of Ten
nessee in November.

ut is a bad rule that will not work
both ways" is an old adage, and as the
democratic party is very fond Of rul-
ing, we just ask them to rule them
selves down to that rule. For some
time they have urged the argument
upon the American party that they
should support Mr.. Buchanan because
he had better chance for election
than Mr.. Fillmore, that Mr.. Fillmore
would not run at all in the South, &c.
Well let us suppose that validreason,
if true, and examine the facts of the
case: The late elections, so far as heard
from, both North and South, show that
old Buck is losing in every instance.
1t is now settled fact that Mr.. Fill
more will carry Florida in November,
that old Buck (as his folks call him)
will lose his own State. Indeed his pro-
spects are exceedingly gloomy. Such
being the case, we make the point on
the democratic party, that they wish
ed to make on us: that Mr.. Fillmore
has the best chance of being elected
and they should nowsupport him. This
circumstance will now test their sim
cerity, and give them an opportunity
of doing unto others as they would
have others do unto them If they
do not now support Mr.. Fillmore, with
the facts before them, then we impnte
to them insincerity in all their ar
gumcnts and positions. We cannot re-
spect their professions, but the con-
viction will be forced upon us, that their
pretensions are and have been hypo-
critical and insincere. Our confidence
being lost in their political integrity,
henceforth their pleadings and protes-
tations will pass by us UNDECIDED as
the idle winds that play in the forest;
and false, as in our private opinions
they have always been. Derived from
violated pledges, janus principles and
ambiguous double entendres, who now
can trust them7 Will the people be
longer deceived! In the name Of all
that is patriotic and conservative in
their natures, we ask them to look at
things as they are, and consider the
good of their country, which at this
time needs all the best motives of our
nature to preserve.
The Old Wings have held their con-
vention, and nominated Mr.. Fillmore
as their candidate for the Presidency.

cause they believed him to be honest
capable, and correct in his politica
views. They had voted for him be
fore, knowing his views on the slave
ry question, which the democrats say
is the only important issue in the pres
ent canvass. Ifthat is so, we ask tn,
old line wings if Mr.. Fillmore has
grown less sound than heretofore? Il
there less conse,va tism is his speeches
at Albany, New York and otheL pla
ces than he formerly avowed! They
must admit that he is sound on the only
important question before the country
and therefore have no just cause to
discard him. What has he done to de.
serve your rebukel Does merit re.
ceive no reward at your hands, that
the most deserving statesman in our
country is to be cast aside for a new
experiment whose position on the i'm
portant question of slavery is at least
uncertain?
Some of you say that you will stand
neutral. This is no time for neutrality.
Will you stand by when your country
is shocked to its centre by civil COM
motion and factous dissentions! Will
you let it be said, should this great ma
ton be destroyed by anarchy and
strife, that you saw the danger and
stoically refused to lend your aid in
your country's behalf? How can you
look upon the storms which now
threaten the country and repress the
impulses of patriotism which must
strive for some kind of expression!--
Patriotism is no passive agent; it can
not be repressed. Like imprisoned
fires, it will explode. A patriot, like
a good mariner when seas are rough
and breakers about, is always ready
to watch and to work. He never sleeps
in the storm; stubborn stoicism is no
element of his nature. The times
now demand the best offering of the
we say that the man who
will now refuse to offer the small sac
rifice of party pride on the altar of his
country, is but an irreverent worshiper
at her shrine. Shades of Washington!

five stories in height Every portion of il was oc-
cupied as workshops, the machinery of which was
driven by an eighty-horse engine in the basement.
Duval, lithographer, occupied one of the floors,
and sustained loss of 100000, on which there
is insurance to the amount of $4,000. He had
forty steam presses, and an immense stock of
stones, including the Autographs for Commodore
