HOW THE NOMINATION IS RECEIVED.—The Philadelphia North American says that Mr. Fillmore's nomination in that quarter "falls coldly and unimpassively on the public mind." The New Haven (Connecticut) Register says: "We take it for granted that no important section of the American party in the free States will support the nomination of Fillmore and Donelson made by the Philadelphia convention." A very large number—estimated as high as one-half—of the lodges in New York openly repudiate the nomination of their "favorite son."

In New Jersey, but one know-nothing paper has hoisted the names of Fillmore and Donelson.
