COMING OUT FoR FILLMoRE.-The National De.
fender Is the title of new weekly, which has just
been started in Norristown, Pa, which is also in
favor of Fillmore for the next Presidency.
The American Banner Is the title of a new Fill
more and DoneIson paper just established at In
dianapolis. 1t is to be the central organ OF the
American party in Indiana II starts into life With
a subscription of ten thousand.
The Somerset, Pa, Whig has also run up the
Fillmore flag The editor, in allusion to the fact,
says-"We do this at the urgent instance and
request of numerous party friends, and in accord
ance with what we believe to be the largely pre-
yailing sentiment Of the county"
The editor of the Brownsville (Tenn.) Journal
has abandoned the Democratic party, and declared
his adhesion to Fillmore and Donelson. So it
spreads. Within the past few weeks, papers in oil
parts Of the country are deserting from Buchanan
and Fremont, and hockng to the standard Of Fill
more. The good work has commenced, and "tbe
end is not yet"

SATURDAY, August 23, 1856.

huSueb Go1 IoOO-
A message was received from the President Of
the United States, enclosing reportfrom the Sec
retary of War in relation to the balances ON hand
for the support of the army.
Mr.. JONES rose TO make personal explanation
in relation TO some remarks reported 10 have been
made by Senator BENJAMIN, rejecting upon him
personally. That Senator denied having made any
such remarks.
Mr.. CLAYTON offered resolution 10 appoint
committee of conference of seven Senators and
eleven Representatives to confer in relation 10 the
passage of the Army Bill, laid on the table for the
present He said he believed that compromise
could be made, which would not conflict with the
honor of either House, and save the Army OF the
United States from disbandment, and the Terri
tories from civil war.
Mr.. T0UCEY said the action of the House was
an attempt force legislation upon the Senate by
threat of stopping the wheels of Government
He was bound to remain there as long as this Con.
gress existed, and to oppose the passage of the
bill as long as the Kansas proviso as thereto at
tackled.
Mr. BENJAMIN said, that while Senators were
speaking, the House Of Representatives had moth
ing before them. 1t would be better to take vote,
and then speak.
Mr.. TRUMBULL said, that the discourtcsy rest
ed upon the Senate, and not upon the House, that
the bill originated in the House.
Mr.. HUNTER said there was no dscourtesy in
the matter.
The vote was then taken on the question to ad-
here to their amendment--yeas 35, nays o.
Mr.. SEWARD objected to the consideration of
Mr.. CLAYTON's resolution, and declined to waIye
his objection.
On motion, the Senate adjourned .~

eff there be those either North South who desire
administration for the North against the South
or for the South as against the North they are not
the men who should give their sutfrages to me-
For my own part know only my country my whole
country, and nothing but my country"
TMILLARD FILLMoREs SPEECH IN NEW YORK
"The foundation of my preference is, that Mr.
Fillmore has administered the Executive Govern
ment with signal success and ability. He has
been tried and found true, faithful honest and
scientious wish to say nothing in derogation from
his eminent competitors, (Webster and Scott) they
have both rendered great services to their country;
the one in the field, and the other in the Cabinet
They might possibly administer the government as
well as Mr.. Fillmore has done But then neither of
them has been tried he has been tried in the eleya-
ted position he now holds and think that prudence
and wisdom had better restrain as from making any
change without necessity for it, the existence OF
which do not perceive. ."-OhayS letter TO Uilmann,

Mass Meeting at Springfield, Virginia--Mr.
Evans in the Field.

We learn from the Alexandria Gazette that
grand mass meeting of the friends of Fillmore and
Donelson was held at Springfield on the Alexandria
and Orange Railway on Thursday~last
A Virginia barbecue was served up at midday,
and il was such a feast as yirginians know how to
give. Everything passed off in the happiest man
ner There was great enthusiasm, but all was
conducted in order---n short, more delightful
barbecue and meeting was never given or held In
the Old Dominion.
"Among the speakers present were Mr.. I. M.
Monroe, assistant elector for this District; Mr.. w.
d. Massey, the elector for Alexandria county; Mr..
H. w Thomas, from Fairfax Mr.. French ). Ev-
ans, of Washington city; Mr.. ii. D. Ball, Of Fair
fax and others. - .a
"Mr. French S. Evans, of Washington City, com
menced by recouuting the causes which had brought
the country from condition of repose and pros
verify TO ts present condition of distraction and
disorder lie arraigned the ruling powers as being
responsible for the present unhappy state OF affairs
His dissection of the present administration, the
exposure of its msdeeds and folies, was cruel in
tbe extreme He tore away the himsy veil which
covered their inconsistencies, and left them naked
and exposed before the world in all their defor-
mites. .....
he showed that the American party was the
olv national party of this country, and had claims
upon the hearts and affections of the American
neople, which would sooner Or later insure its tri
nmph and permanent ascendency in this country
"He contrasted the claims of Buchanan and Fill
more for Presidential honors--showed the shifting
and vaci!lating course Of the one, the manly ant
indopendent course Of the other.
@ The whole Of Mr. Els speech was character
iza5 by the most manly and forcible argument
and the most npassioned eloquence. During 1t
delivery the shout after shout which went up a
cecb well turned period and pointed home-thrus
fIlly attestcd the merits Of the speech and tn
power Of the speaker"
The Washington correspondent of the Evening
Post, who recently set Mr.. Evans down for Ere
monter, Ton the authority, as he informed US yes
terday, of an NJ c. from Pennsylvania, is requested
TO notice Mr. Evans's remarks above quoted in hi
next letter.

EXTRAORDINARY ELoPEMRST AND STUPENDoUs
SwINDLR IN MADISON COUNTY, ALABAhA.-The
community of Madison county was suddenly star
tied by the elopement of John Il. Townsend with
the step daughter OF his overseer, on Friday night,
the 25th of July, and the discovery of the extern
siye frauds he has committed-taking with him, 1t
10 supposed cash funds TO the amount of over one
hundred thousand dollars, belonging to the assets
of the estate of his uncle, Edmund Townsend, oi
which he was the co-administrator; as also funds
obtained from two commission houses in Hunts
ville in drafts to the amount of $35 900 $40 900
besides contracting sundry bebts about Hunts
vilIe leaving his wife and children, and all his
property, growing crop, &C., except two negroes
Attachments up to Monday 2Sth, to the amount OF
$780, O0O had been placed in the hands OF the sher-
i'll, and had been levied on his property.
1t has been matter of much speculation as to
the motive which influenced Townsend to thus abb
scond. He was not in debt-his property that he
has left is worth, it is said, very near the amount
for which il has been attached, and he was the
heir, in prospect,t, OF all of Samuel Townsend's
propertv-( estimated at 5000, 900 )--besdes other
lsgacics in prospect So that the only advantage
he has apparently gained in his situation by the
operation is the "ga"--a boon rather costly to
him ANYHOW, as it is said he bought 300 worth of
iewelrv to deck her off with, in Huntsville, day
or two before he started Apparently to the pub
lie there is no motive for his eopement, nor is it
known which way he has gone. II he had intend
ed to pursue planting, the only business he knows
ANYTHING about, he would have taken his negroes
and gone southwest. But we incline to think his
object is some secluded spot, where the chances
for discovery will be very few, and where he can
live on his money in seclusion.--AtheRs Herald,
I,J1Si 8.

Massen yersammIung in New York.

The Germans of New York held a grand Mas
sen Versammlung at the Tabernacle on Thurs.
day night The Express contains pictorial report
of the proceedings. There were 5000 Germans
present, nearly all of whom have heretofore acted
with the Democracy.
A German band furnished the music. Not an
American tune in the whole repertoire, but Mour-
rir pour la Patrie, France je tAdore, the Mar
sellaise," and such like Red Republican melodies,
were repeated without stint.
The speeches were in German, or broken Eng
sh. Old Dorsheimer, Of Buffalo, whom Van Blu.
rem appointed Postmaster Of that city, was one of
the principal orators.
Many German songs were sung, and the follow
ing chorus to one of them was uproariously ap-
plauded:
"Vree vrow vree pay, yree Limberger kaese,
Vremont and lager bier r.
The Express thus alludes to this German de-
monstration:
"We want the Southern Democracy to see where
their Northern allies are gone, and what they are
doing. AS for US Americans, this crevasse of the
Germans will give thousands of votes to US from
the American workshops, and the American farms,
and without distinction of party, too.
