Who he is. and what he. is. we all know, and how he has been tried, and never been found wanting.

He himself has had no hand in se curing this nomination. It may be said, nerhans. he left the country for a while. so as to be free from all suspicision of interference or connexion witn tnis high obiect of honorable ambition. The tri- bute given to him, therefore, is the spontaneous tribute ofacountryto probity, qualification, and sound princi ple. "There is some dissatisfaction inPhila delnhia, we see, among some Northern men, because "no platform" has been laid down. With Millard Fillmore, no platform is at all. necessary :.

Fillmore, administered the government with a justice, a conser vatism, a nationality, a purity, an hon esty, parallel, or furnishes a parallel in Washington alone. They bear in mind that the robes of the highest office that it was ever vouched safe for man to hold on earth, never sat more gracefully on any sohulders than they did on his; and that when, with all the" honor of a Cin cinnati, he laid down the power of his high position, he went into retirement, without leaving behind him even the smell of smoke on his official garments ; t it J" -.
