The following article, from the Buffalo
Commsrcjay 4acertiser, the special home or.
gan of Willard Fillmore, (Which runs up the
Chicago ticket at the head of its columns, in
dicatcs the course which is to be pursued by
the Americans of the East, in the present
canvass
The result is before the people. Abraham
Lincoln Of Illinois, is the standard bearer
Sofaras the Opposition is concerned, the choice
rests between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Bell
For the latter, all conservatives have respect
so sincere an affection so earnest, that only
a strong political necessity could lead them to
refuse him their votes But what prudent
man, wishing to cast his vote where it will
tcilagainst the Ubiquitous power now enthron-
ed at Washington, can honestly say that he
expects to attain that end by voting for Mr.
Bell in this State? The fates have ordered
that not even his acknowledged purity OF
craftsmanship can meetits reward, and though
we and all those who think with us, should
bend our every energy to his support, il
would result only in failure, or, worse than
that, in Democratic triumph Where then
lies the path of duty? Mr.. Lincoln is nomi-
mated by powerful party His success is
more than possible. 1t has strong probabili-
ties in its favor. Ifhe is not personally OBJ
iectionable, if there is no reason in the man
himself, why he should not merit the sup
port and endorsement of honest national men
then it is the plain duty Of erery old Wing
and american tcho hopes to do anything for
hiscouat,y in this campaign to come up square
~ to thu. flag and pledge to abraham Lincoln
all the aid and comfort uhich true mans
hip can gipe him. Mr.. Lincoln has not that
long experience in public service which we
could have wished, but he has something bet
ter in the strong, sagacious mind, cool and
unshaking nerve, ard intelligent familiarity
with public measures which lie at the bottom
of all true craftsmanship. His colleague on
the ticket, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin of Maine,
is a statesman Of cultivation and experience.
No one can doubt his ability and adaptation
to the place, or would fear to see the rcns of
the executive office placed in his hands in
event Of the death Of the President
With such views Of the Chicago platform
and nominations, with the knowledge that
the little strength belonging to John Bell in
this State is already diminished by consid-
cradle secession to Sam Houstan, and with
the Old Wing hatred Of Democracy, nursed
in with our mothers milk, and strong to-day
as in 1874 in our hearts, we conceive it to be
our duty to place the names, of Lincoln and
Hamlin at the head of our columns, as a
pledge that we will extend to them such hon.
orable and faithful support as may belong to
our position and influence.
DOUGLAS Bound TO Run, WHETHER NOM
MATED OR Nora Washington correspon-
dent says
A gentleman who is thoroughly intimate
with Mr.. Douglas, and understands his pur-
poses, says that he will be in the field as a
Presidential candidate, no matter what the
action of the adjourned Convention may be.
