The American Candidate.—After viewing the many persons talked of for Presidential candidates, the Palmer (Mass.) Journal closes as follows:
In looking over the list of proposed candidates, we see none that we should prefer to the nominee of the American party—Millard Fillmore. For soundness of principles, correctness of example, and purity of political character, none can be pointed out who will excel him. Should he accept the nomination tendered him, declaring himself in favor of true Americanism, it will not be inconsistent with the principles we profess to give him our support.
