The Democracy In Trouble,
The Froceaolon Is Honor of Mr, Fillmore, if V In New York. . 1 Oh the arrival of Mr. , Fillmore at the r Governor's room, the ceremony!of intro1 duction was commenced, and continued * for abqut fen minutes, when the Mayor a rc rived. After the usual hand-shaking, the . Mayor addressed him as follows; g Mb. Fkxmohe;—In .behalf 61 tire corporation of the city of Now York, it becomes my doty to receive yon on tlds.ocs casion and. to tender the municipal bospi- * talUies. We ore. ever ready to do public . honor to those Who have filled eminent a stations with.fidelityand usefulness. In ; this instance we have an sdditionalincentive in your personal relation tons as our . own fellow citizen—well known to ns and * admired in oU, the walks of private life, 1 and as truthful and libcral/ixl the posts of * public duty. . / ? 'Yon have never disgraced year State or 5 shocked its conservative; sentiments by a *. resort to sectional agitation or appeals to the passions or prejudices of -men. Yon r hove, indeed, in this respect, refloated its 1 public opinion by refusing:to lend year t countenance or aid to seditions efforts of : demagogues, who Would embroil tho States > and citizens of Uni .Republic in sectional ■ and fratricidal warfare to gratify their own unjustifiable ambition forplaco and power. > Asa public roan you have been nation- . al and conservative, and Now York can havo no reason to receive you in auy other way than os &; dutiful 'Son, who has been > true to her interests. In this spirit I bid 1 you welcome back to your native country, and am happy (p bo made the organ of 1 yonr reception. Sir, the Con mpn Council have passed resolutions upon which this public reception is based, and which 1 I will now read, as expressing .the opinion and feeling of that branch of the corporate authorities; Mr, Fillmore responded as follows: Mr. Mayok—This unexpected and agre* able welcome from, the great commercial emporium of lire United States, leaves me without language to express the grateful emotions of my heart. 1 had hoped for a moment to arrange my ideas, but you know, as wolf as otheie within the sound of my voice, that from the lime I landed 1 scarcely hud a minute for thoughti It i*, however, hardly necessary. 1 have known this city,,and thought 1 led its importance, hut until 1 traversed Knrope I was not so sensible of the importance of this city to the United Stales and the importance of .the United States to this city. (Applause ) Yon have been pleased to refer to the fact that my public life has been of a conservative character, and I regai d this conservatism as the proudest principle I have been able to sustain. (Applause.) We have received from pur fathers a Union and a constitution above all price a ad value, and that man who cannot sacrifice anything for the support of both is urnworthy of his countiy. You, rir, know fori have had the gratification of expressing it to you in .person, how highly I appreciated the stand you took in sustain iug the laws. Vou know bolter than I can express it, tl)at liberty can only exist in obedience to TaW.- (Itenewed applause.) That county which is governed by despotism instead of law, known not liberty. I n;vcr was so strongly impressed with this as since my return. It has been my fortune to visit most of the principal cities on the Continent, and I' have only to say that the governments of Europe exercise tjieir control over every subject the same as the master exercises his power over the slave. No roan is permitted to go without the walls of the city unless with a passport, nor enter another ■ kingdom, without'the seme permission. 1 thank God, when I stepped upon the shore of America ray passport was not demanded. (Enthusiastic applause.) Sir # «yomr beautiful bay ' has often been compared with that of Naples. 1 have had the good fortune to look 1 on both. Italy with its sunny skies is a 1 delightful region, Ob, that it bad a gov- 1 eminent like oars and a people to niamJ 1 tain it. (Applause.) v ;. s . i Theronrepointa of resemblance between ; the two bays, bat when you look at the waters and the surrounding scenery, there the comparison ends. When I-entered that city-1 was surrounded by hundreds ofj beggars, bat I no sooner entered tbi* than j I was surrounded by thomands oi free- 1 1 men. [Applause,] That is the dilference j 1 between New York and Naples. 'Rome ' is in its decay. Venice opco shone forth .with more i, splendor, perhaps, than New York does now, but where is it, and what is Venice f; now but a waste in-the midst of the ocean? i ■ New York has just emerged to greatness;! • ana if our people remember the lessons taught them by onr forefathers, they most maintain the constitution intact. If they - do this;, they Will find that this city has . but, commenced its igreat commercial careef. ’ . ‘ | ’ " ’ - * England at present wields the destinies j 1 of commerce, and of the world, and her • power is centered in London, hot if this country canmaintainits Union, there are* j those now within the hearing of roy voice who'will live to see Now York what Lon- ■ don i? DOW* (Appjanso.) I congratulate 1 too, sir, lliat you are the Chief Magistrate ot this great city, aiid I congratulate my fellow-citizens' that you are to the , burden imposed upon. you. j I also congratulate yon, that yon niy j follow-citizens, no matter what may be your private feelings, are determined to 1 stand by the Union of your country.— M Pardon mo for these remarks—-they are} i desultory, but I speak with a sincere heart* ( when I return you ray sincere thanks. j When they reached the City Sail three! cheers were given for Mr. Fillmore, and; then for Andrew J. Donelson. For some.' time it was feared that Mr. Fillmore! 1 would be borne down a'nd overwhelmed 1 1 by the crowd; but with the timely assis-1 i tance of a file of police, ho was enabled; j to maintain his ground, As it was impossible for Mr. Fillmore | to be introduced to a)l his friends scparatly,: and as the majority of them were on the outside of the City Hall, it was consider- 1 cd absolutely necessary that he should ad- f dress them from the balcony. They had i
called for him- repeatedly, and wete becoming rather impatient when he made his appearance; hat in band, bowing bis acknowledgments. When order was restored, he delivered a brief speech, which yras received with great applause. At half-post eight o'clock, the Whig Central Committee, numbering over one hundred members, presented themselves, anti made a speech, .through Mr. Brooks, their Vice-Chairman, who informed him that they were' ready to raise the banner once more, to do battle in the cause, and a great many other things to that effect. Mr.-Fillmore, in reply, then spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, I receive these congratulations with inexpressible satisfaction. It reminds me of tbs hard-fought battle through which we have all passed. It is a great gratification for mo to look around upon the faces of those who have so often been associated with me in the struggle of our common country, • I trust apd hope, although you may be called by a different name from what you were, that there is yet no difference of sentiment between us. I have long seen that the time was approaching when that uobe whig party, of which, I was ever proud, wonld.be unavoidably destroyed. Yon ba\e spoken of the treachery that defeated Henry Clay in 1844. The canker worm that has Been, cnaw* ingat the very vitals of that party Das at last, 1 fear, destroyed it; but, sir, them is a phoenix that has arisen from its ashes that is yet.to save the country. (Applause.) 1 confess that in looking around upon my former associntosbera it reminds mo of tho scenes tbrovgh rfrhicb we passed in 1850. Fortunately, when I was unexpectedly called tO) the Presidential chair, by that calamity! which shrouded our country in mourning, I had made no pledges which prevented me from discharging my duty to my country. If I rendered auy service to my country al that time, it was chiefly owing to thefbCt that 1 bad come to that position partly by the will of the people, and partly by the act of Providence, But, sir, if I rendered any service, I was greatly indebted, the country was greatly indebted, for that servile, to that very conservative portion of the Whig party that stood around : me, and that equally conservative portion of the Democratic party which rallied around my administration at that time. [Applause.]

NATIONAL AMERICAN TICKET,
For President I M I I, Ij A U D F I L bM O U H, I . . OF StW-VORK,
For Vice Frcaldenl t ANDREW J. DONEbSON, or TKxacsatr. ■ - ,
ii - > . . i ■ ■ ■ ■ SST A correspondent writes us from Switzerland county that there is gioit ' dissatisfaction in that and Ohio counties; on account of (be composition of-the State ticket—but two out of the nine being understood to bo in favor of Mr. Fillmore.- This donVsait tbein at all, and they arc decidedly in favor of getting np another State ticket, unless there can.be something like a fair compromise made between the American and ilepuhlican segments of the People's party, with-re-gard, to the.; Presidential ticket in this State. . They will never consent to the summary disposal of Mr. i Fillmore, as contemplated by. I lib leading Republicans of . the State. I We hope that our friend is mistaken in supposing that the present State ticket will[tow.l,000.votes in those two counties, unless some arrangement can' lie made satisfactory to the friends of Mr. Fillmore. We suppose they would be satisfied with a ,nnion Electoral, ticket —nothing short pftbis w ill totisfy them.' Ourlriciid writes us that a regiilaroutand- rot Fillmore ticket could carry those two counties by [a majority of. 100 over the Locofocos and Republicans combined; and he is willing to stake $50. on the re-, suit.— Xe'w Albany Tribune, —The Tribune's correspondent speaks '•by the board” in regard to the feeling in Old Switzerh.nl; but Mr. Gregg is gioatly mistaken when he intimates that we want a "union Electoral ticket** with the Blacks Republicans; There is not a single American in the county who favors such a monstrous absurdity I As to (he State tickets, unless things change greatly from the way they now stand, the result will stand about this way : Willard will receive about one-fourth of tire Amcricaij vote; Morton about one-fourth—-the other two-fourths will bo blank; ani if the Old Line candidate was J man of good moral character, equal to the present incumbent, Switzerland county would give him about 2,000 majority over the Black Republican candidate. Our people bore are almost unanimously in favor of the American party bringing out a candidate for Governor and Attorney General,'at least. It would be a very good plan to do so. — We believe, from present indications, that the Old Lino ticket will be elected; for our people ennno' and will not stullify themselves by voting for a man for Governor, who is opposed to the American candidate for President. Wo believe there are no Fillmore men 1 on the "People's Ticket,” as it is called. If there is one, we slionld like to know < his. name. ' . . :

Mr. Matheny, from said committee, bubiuittedjho following jircumbtc ami resolutions, to-wit; Wiieiieas, On the 7th day of Juno, 1856, there was a largo meeting of Democrats, of Brown county, assembled for the purpose' of appointing dclegntes'lo a District Convention, to be hold at Columbus on the 11th inst., to nominate n candidate for Congress, ami nt which said meeting delegates were appointed; ami, I. Wbeheas, Suid delcgatcs, who attended ' said Convention, represent' to. this meeting. Uiat in their opinion, the action of said Convention at Columbns in adopting*' as the ratioof representation, the Vote for a Member-of Congress in 1852, did-violent and gross injustice to the Democracy of. Brown and other counties, which proved their attachment to Democratic' principles in 1854, and gave an undue preponderance in favor of thoeo counties, which in lb54, faltered in (heir attachment to Democratic principles, i ; Therefore, Rttolvtd, Thnt> in. the approaching Congressional election, (if the so-called nominee of said Convention shall continue to bo a candidate,) ire mil withhold our t'otes from A/m, and recommend pur friends to do the same, until our just rights shall be respected as Democrats.
THE CAMPAIGN.
In t riler ty place Ihe Rkvcim-f. within the lend. of all during the great political cant' paign of the present year, we have determined to furnish;! I fjom now until the Presidential election for PfFTY CENT'S, in advance, liy a little exertion on the part of our friends, n large club may be raised in every neighbor-' hood in the county.
AMERICAN STATE CONVENTION. By reference lo a notice, which is published all over (bo Slate, we’ learn tlmt there wilt bo a Convention of tbo friends . of Fillmore and Donelson, at Indianapolis, on Wednesday, (be IClli day of July. Wo me gratified to be able to make ibis nimonncemcut; it is an unmistakable in* dication of the uprising and organization upon a National Platform, of the American and ' conservative forces of tbe State. Witli a proper and thorough or* ganization, riierc ■' is a strong hope that even Indiana may bo carried for Fillmore and Donelson. The Democratic party is scattered into fragments on account of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, and the outrages committed in Kansas; while Fremont has little or no strength with the people. The American Party and its candidates are popular with tbo people, and only need to be properly presented and advocated before tbe masses, to ensure a complete triumph over all opposition. The contest will bo between the two parlies, namely: Fillmore and Americanism on the one hand, and Buchanan and Foieigimm on the other. People may talk about Fremont, but before November next his supporters will be "like angcPs visits—few and far between." It is not worth while to consider him in the way —for what little support he will git .will, be confined to small sections of the Free Stales; so wc will "let him slide" without further notice. The only prominent candidates in the field for the Presidency are . Millard Fillmore and James Buchanan; and one of these men will be elected, and will take possession of the White House on the 4th day of March n*xt; so the people of this Union, who are as yet undecided, may ns well commence making i up their mind on this subject to-day.— Wo will endeavor to show, from lime to time, as will our State Electors, that Mr; Fillmore'is Me man for tbe times, and the most suitable person to administer the affairs-of the Government in the present crisis;. and if' wo eatisfactoHUy prove this, and we are confident it can be done, we have not a doubt but tbe .vote of Indiana will be cast for him. Let us go op to the Convention, with a determination to otganizo and counsel together for the sake of. the Union. Let no plan of "fusion" with opposing factions bo entertained for a-moment*We want no more "fusions;" they have heretofore disorganized and rained the party, and will do so in future, if : they are cop* Rented to. Henceforth and forever tpl tbo American parly, of Indiana sland bp-’ on its own platform, aeparate and distinct from all other parties. Let.’our motto ever be, "no entangling alliances with foreign powers." .The principles of. the American party are entirely national and conservative—if they were not wc would not advocate them. They are broad and comprehensive, and well worthy tbe snp* port of good and pure men of all parties; 'and it is a source of gratification to us, to know.that great and good men of all parlies, from one end of tbe Union to the other, are rallying around tbe standard bearers, of the American party—and long before the ides of November we anticipate an enthusiasm in their behalf .uncqnaTcd in the political annals of this counUpr. Take courage friends, and let the watchword be— Fillmobe, Dokelbos and Victory. . Convention on thelBth of July, is not strictly an American Convention, in lha political meaning of that term. It is a meeting of tbo National men of all parties,—Americans, Whigs, Democrats, —who are in favor of Fillmore and
Jtetoloed, That wo reiterate our determination to give the Democratic nominees for President and Vico President, and, also, the entire State ticket mu united and undivided support. But, that we will not be uriven or cajoled into the support of a candidate for Congress, who is KVKIIY WAY objectionable to us. Which, upon motion, was unanimously adopted.
Our Cause In Pennsylvania.
A large American meeting was fold in. Pittsburg, on Thursday last, which-al-most unanimously jcsolvcd to support the Fillmore and Donelson ticket. In Philadelphia a largo meeting was recently held, which was addressed by Hon. E. Joy Morris, late member of Congress, who “expressed his great regrot for the defeat of Judge McLean, as a Presidential candidate. Ho thought llio .friends of Sir,'Fillmore, at least in Pennsylvania, without any inconsistency, might in a certain contingency have given him their support, and secured the State against Buchanan. Ho was above all sinister influences, and could never be igmlfcjhc instrument of other men’s designs. x As a' Constitutional jurist his rule of action would have been tho Constitution, and ho would have enjoyed the confidence of the whole country.”
Sir, tup measures which finally restored peace to an agitated country then, wore notthe one man, they were not the measures of one party, but they were the measures two great parties into which the country, was then divided. I should hope, if it be thy fortune again tu occupy the elevated position of the Presidency, that I might again rely upon the conservative oOicea and support of thoso who may be called Democrats, ‘and those who may bo called Whigs.’. I cannot doubt that I shall have-the support of those conservative whig#, old line whigs, true Whigs, who now .stand a ouml mo.. (Applause.) j I canuot doubt that I should also have ;lho’ -support of those true hearted democrats who rallied to the support of the country in 1830.-— (Applause.) But, sir I have said'more than lintcnded to say—perhaps more than I ought to have said. • • ■* I only intend to express my tipn and grateful feelings in response to the welcome tendered me by old line' whigs, for whom I still feel an afiection and re ganl. Nothing could be more gratifying to my feelings after returning to ibid country, a d after receiving the nomination of the distinguished 7 association to which I am attached, than still to be remembered by my old confederates as worthy of thrir confidence and respect. Three hearty cheers were Lore given for. Mr. Fillmore. After the noise had subsided, Mr. Fillmore was introduced to the members of the committee, and afa r that he wae again called upon to make another speech from the balcony to a largo crowd, who bad just come from the meeting of the National Club. - ;
THERE CAN BE NO UNION.
Some of oar friends,* we arc sorry to observe, still indulge the delusive hope of forming a Union Electoral Ticket with some othfir party. . Wo are surprised that any man in.Iiis'right mind could propose such an inconsistent and -.impracticable project. Wo have always* thought that oil 'and water would . hot.mix together. Of course, »vc are opposed to (his movement, for w.*: are opposed to fusions of every kind, and Specially to a fusion Electoral Ticket ; Nothing.short'of ah ont-and-ont Fillmore and jDondson Electoral ticket the American sentiment in this Wart of tNe Slate. It docs seem (6 ns, that no consistent man, who honestly, advocates American principles, will any each arrangement— We are figling for principles, and nnder no circumstance will sell oar principles, for ‘ a' Unless of pottage. 1 - 1 Those who opposed to Fillmore and American principles, will have' an Electoral ticket of their own/ if they have hoi already formed one; and the Americans will have one of their own, or abandon the. danse altogether. The day of fuiiovs is past. Let no friend of onr glorious cause bring dissension again into our ranks, by cherishing false and delusive ideas in regard to onr great enemy—Mr. Fusion.
Convention Week In‘Indianapolis.
Week after next will be s great week at Indianapolis. No less than three important political gatherings will be held that week, namely: On the 5th, the Black Republican ratification meeting. On the 16th, tho National American Convention and ratification meeting, On tbo 17th, the Democratic ratification meeting. It is estimated that 50,000 persons will bo in the city within the three days.
In conclusion, Mr, Morris made an eloquent and earnest appeal in favor of Mr, Fillmore—he urged the'peoplc of all parties to stand by him to tho last, regard; ing him as tho only man now before tho country, os a candidate for the Presidency, who enjoys tho confidence and esteem of tho people generally in every portion of our wide-extended country. . His speech had a. powerful effect, -for he is one of tho taost talented and effective public speakera in Philadelphia.. t In tho whole city of Philadelphia, according to the* Pennsylvanian, there is not a single paper -that’ openly supports the' Freemont ticket, *ond - scarcely:; any ratification meetings in bis favor have been held in the State.
All the newspapers in State.ate requested to copy the above •‘call.'’
An Old Revolutionary Flag.
In the procession in lionor of Mr. Fillmore, in New York, tlioro was borne an old Revolutionary flag. The Exprest
says of it: Its history is interesting, ns wall as , tragical. On the bloody field of Monmonth it was home aloft in tbo van of the battle, by Sergeant Thomas Oliver. Three times was it captured by the enemy, and three tiroes gallantly recovered by our troops. In the. Inst rencontie, the intrepid standard-bearer was mortally wounded; his brothers in arms wrapped this flag of their country around him and carried him froth jtha field. Tbo stains of his life-blood are yet visible. Tbo flag has ever since been in the possession of bra family, and was this day borne by his son, Gilbert W. Oliver, & worthy eon of each a sire, id the front of Americans gathering to do battle for. their country's cause, in imitation of their gallant fore-fathers.
(CrTho Madison Banner, daily nnd : weekly, has been snspendod for want of patronage. The Cornier, was one of the oldest papers in tbo State, having been published thirty years. As a Whig paper .it was well susUined, but a few months ago it espoused the B1 ack Republican and soon “pegged out." Its proprietors now know that Black Republicanism .“won't do to tie to."
tST Tho Washington Sentinel, the ablest Democratic paper in the country, has been suspended. It was the only Buchanan paper in Washington previous to his nomination. It'is . well known that the friends of Bocbonan are greatly discouraged, but no one dreamed that they would permit their central organ to "peg out" for want of support. — Tbo American Organ, of that city, has been much improved, and a new and talented corps of editors secured by tho proprietor, and is in a very prosperous condition.
(Kr The Fort Wayne Timet, edited by office-seeker John W, Dawson, who pie* tended to be a strong Fillmore American before May let, 1856, is now supporting an obscure moo by ;the name .of; Fremont for the Presidency. How many pieces of si Iyer did you get, John, for taming traitor ?
OCT The Kansas War appears io bo at an end, for the present at least. The Administration appears lo be doing its doty in the premises now* President Pierce has quite recently made the impor* tant discovery that he has the power to quell the civil war heretofore existing in that Territory, and consequently Colonel Sumner, with the U. S. troops, is keep* ing the peace and dispensing the armed Missouri companies, os he ought to have been instructed to do in the first place. All was quiet at the latest dates from the Territory.
03~TLe steamboat Julia waa nm into by (he Maria Denning, near.lho Chalk Banks, in the Mississippi, and hcrwaterwheel knocked down, and otherwise damaged. Both boats wore bound np stream.
SSrM will bo seen from oar Congressional proceedings, cur able and efficient Representative in Congress has introduced a very important bill, which, if it becomes a law, will restore quiet to the country on tbo vexed slavery question. Wo hope it will pass.
(KrTbo Portsmouth (Ohio) TV&unt, daily and weekly, has-hoisted the dames of Fillmore and DoneUon. It is one of the leading papers in the State. The cry is, “Still they come.”
