The Union, in announcing the Democratic nominations of the National Convention, says: “The democracy would have been invinci- ble in the approaching Presidential campai; with any candidate whom they might ha’ nominated en tle platform of the Cincinnati Convention. With James Buchanan as their standard-bearer, they can scarcely encounter @ contest.” In conclusion, it says: “It is not necessary, at this time, to dwell longer upon the eens and standing of the distinguished gentlemen who have been placed in nonination for the Presi- dency and Vice Presidency by the generous, cordial, and unanimous action of the Demo- eratic National Convention. The history of Mr. Buchanan is a part, and a brilliantly con- spicuous part, of the history of the Democrat- ie party. The pastof Mr. Breckinridge gives assurance of high political honors, gallantl. won and modestly worn, and of further effi- cient, consistent, and self-sacrificing efforts in behalf of those principles which must forever remain identified with the cause of civil and religious freedom. The Intelligencer says of Mr. Buchanan : “ He is the choice of his party, and it is not for us to praise or to blame their celection. But we may say, without offence we suppose, that the party might have done worse; we know not that it could have done better, al- though there are eminent men in it of equal ability and experience, if not of equal devo- tion to the party. Mr. Buchanan isa man of character, of stainless private 1 long and varied experience in publ As a gentleman we have notbing to object to him save his party politics and party career, and, slthough we trust that the anti-Demo- cratic conservative power of the country will be able to beat him, yet if they should fail they may still hope that his success will give to the country a President who will prove a friend to the Union and more conservative in his administration than is the political plat- form upon which he has been placed by the Convention.”’ ———@9.7q THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. [EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. | Cincinnati, June 4, 1856. The Virginia delegation sentto the Conven- tion's Committee en Resolutions three or four resolutions upon the slavery question, with a request for their consideration But they were received only after the platform report had been agreed on. The character of that report, eo far asthe slavery question is con- corned, is the key to the fact that South Caro- lina, Georgia, Lovisiana, and Kentucky voted in the committee against re-opening the ques- tion of the platform, even to consider reso- lutions coming to them with the endorsement of Virginia. A strong effort has been made to induce the Virginia delegation to decide among them- selves, by resolution, the New York contested election ques‘ion before it shail be reported on by the Convention’s Committee on Resolu- tions. Up to noon to-day it was wholly un- successful, having been strenuously opposed by those of the delegation who have mani- fested devotion to thorough States’ rights prin- ciples throughout their deliberations. It is understood that the Credentials Committee's report on the subject will be a recommendation that delegates from both sides—Hards and Softs—shall be recegved in proportion to the relative strength of the wings as manifested ia general elections for the last three yearr. This report. I apprehend, will give the Softs thirty-three seats in the Convention, and three to the Hardz. I do not believe that it will be adopted, though firmly convinced of its justice. Mr. Soule is believed to have been the au- thor of the resolutions from the Platform Com- mittee treating of the future foreign relations of this Government. They failed to receive the approbation of some of the delegations be- cause it was believed by many that they were Susceptible of latitudinarian construction; and they received the votes of others on the ground that it would be impossible for any Demo- cratic National Administration to put a lati- tudinarian construction upen those resolu- tions, or any other branch of the platform, in view of the resolution embodied therein, de- claring that strict construction of every thing is the fundemental doctrine of the party. W. D. W—ana. Crversnatr, June 5, 1836. The foreign questions portion of the Plat- form adopted yesterday, does not give univer- sal satiefaction among the delegates. The elder and more experienced of them shake their heads and urge the adoption of the quali- fying resolution offeredg yesterday by the unanimous vote of the Virginia delegation, declaring that it is to be regarded not as a point of Democratic party faith, but as a sim ple ezpression of the views of those of the Convention who voted for it. So many dele- gates are deprecating the declarations which it Involves, as to justify the belief that if again urged on the Convention the Virginia resolu tion stands @ fair prospect of success. I was in error yesterday in my explanation of the ratio of representation involved in the sealing to be proposed this morning by the credential committee inthe New York election case. It is to be 22 Softs to 11 Hards, and not 43 of the former to 3 of the latter. Im- mense exertions were made last night to ob tsin pledges against the majority report in advance of its rendition to the Convention They were, of course, made only to effect the result of the ballotings for a nomination, No other motive could have been at the bottom of them. The committee have labored faithfully upon the case for three days, and are said to have adopted their report by a vote of 24to7. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, I hear, bas prepared a minority report, (so far, signed by himself onty,) Proposing to admit them, balfandhalf. The majority report en- dorses the regularity of the Soft organization. All the representatives from the slaveho! States, (on the committee, ) except Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, voted for the majority report, I learr. Mr. Buell, the editor of the Democratic Review, (published in Washington) who, as the Scar’s readers will learn this afternoon by telegraph, wes stabbed in the back last night, while addressing the crowd in front of the Burnett House, is somewhat better this morning. If he lives his recovery will be wonderful. He was depicting the beauties of Know Nothingism when some assassin slipped up behind bim in the crowd and plunged a knife in his back, and then instantly vanish- ed. This effort to vindicate the eternal justice and propriety of ‘‘ American Principles’’ is not calculated to strengthen the cause in which it was essayed. A more Jowardly assassina- tion never transpired in Rome, which Know Nothingism is constantly abusing ; and such a thing, I believe, never occurred in this coun- try before such “‘ Americans” essayed to“ rule America.’’ The California delegation are indignant at the failure of their resolution reported trom the Platform Committee. Thoy acted in good faith in asking the endorsement of the Con- vention only fora post and military road— not for a railroad to the Pacific. Though an ardent advocate for the immediate construc- tion by the Government of such a road as California asks, I am by no means an adyo- cate for the adoption of any such resolution by the Convention, which has no business to grind any State’s axes. Is bad enough to have its action shaped to grind the axes of aspiring politicians, which is the case on all such occasions. That is being done here, of course, at a great rate. The road will, deubt- less, be ordered by Congress ere the body separate, and will be constructed in less than two years, though this convention has refused to make the question of their proposed im- provement an article of national party faith 11 a. u.—The reports from tho Credentials Committee have been made. All the States (eleven) signing the minority report are un- derstood to be Buchanan States. A clap-trap effort was made to shout up the minority re port when read. A close inspection of the different delegations as they face me leads me to believe that the effort to get a snap judg- ment is based not on its merits, but upon the probable way the two interests in New York would vote when admitted to seats‘1 the Con- vention. The majority report was a simple statement of the conclusions to which they had come, while that of the minority embraced a long written argument for the Hards. Ww. D. W—u. —_—__oO eo WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The Democratic Nominations.—At noon, yesterday, dispatches from Cincinnati an- nounced the nomination of Hon. James Buch- avan, of Pennsylvania, for the Presidency by the Democratic National Convention; and in the course of the afternoon information was received of the nomination of Hon. Jobn C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for the Vice Pres- ideney, on the second ballot, by a unanimous vote. The Convention has reason to congratulate itself and the country at large upon this prompt and auspicious conclusion of its la- bors. The present Administration, and its foreign and domestic policy, haye been fally and heartily endorsed and approvcd of, and the general action of the Convention has been such as to meet the cordial approbation of solid national men in every section of the Union. The enthusiasm with which the nominations have been ressived in all quarters indicates the universe! corfidenca felt in the integrity, patriotism, and statesmanship of the nomi- nees. All personal preferences have been promptly and ch¢2rfully waived, and a re- markable and general harmony exhibited. The neutral and independent press, without exception, so far as we can see, express satis- faction at the nominations, and testify to the gratification felt by the people at large. The Baltimore Sun (Independent) says : “Oarcitizens generally of other political views congratulated the democracy upon the selection of their candidate His eminent talents, distinguished public services, irre- roachable life and manifest popularity are Figh qualifications with which to enter upon the campaign.’’ The New York Mirror (Fillmore) says : “Mr. Buchanan is a man of eminently re- Spectable character and talent, and the very best and strongest man the Democrats could have named. He will be a hard candidate to beat. ai The New York Express (Fillmore) says: “ Tbe nomination is personally respectable, politically consistent, and probably the strong- est that could be made.” The New York Journal of Commerce (in- dopendem) says: “The selection of Mr. Buchanan will tend to strengthen the public faith in the fitness of the people for self-government. Among the most experienced of the few remaining states- men who have been employed in the national service during @ period extending over half the existence of the Republic, be has exhibit- ed in the various exalted stations which he has been called upon to fill, a thorough fit- ness for their respective duties, a perfect com- prehension of the interests entrusted to his charge, an undeviating sense of equity and justice in judgment and administration, and a liberal and petriotic estimate of those con- siderations necessary to the adjustment of con- flicting rectional interests, which have hitherto so happily controlled the counsels of the coun- try, Fo to it an unprecedented devel- opment of expansion, power, and prosperity, and which the advancement of genera) civiii- zation and progress, no less than our own per- manent well-beiog, require to be maintained in paramount supremacy.”’ The New York Commercial Advertiser (Whig) says : ‘ Perhaps no gentleman whom a Democratic convention could have nominated, would have commanded more respect from the country large than James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. Personally, he is entitled to and willcommand respect ” Telegraphic reports announce the holding of congratulatory meetings in New York, Phila- delphia, and various other places, on last evening. In this city, a mass meeting of the Democratic citizens of Washington has been called for this (Saturday) evening, June 7, at half-past seven o’clock, in front of the City Hail, to ratify the nomination of the Dem ccratic National Convention. Hon. Lewis Cass, Hon Stephen A. Douglas, Hon. 8. A. Smith, and other distinguished democrats now in Washington, are expected to address this meeting; and should the weather prove fa- vorable, there will undoubtedly be a great demonstration. Venomous —The Organ, like a caged rat- tle-snake, in the despair of defeat, poo nes strikes venomously at its own body. Never did partisan make more Malignant attacks upon politieal foo than those the Organ has visited upon its own political friends since the mortifying defeat it received on M last Its Jast onslaught directed upon the Seventh Ward Know Ni things, accusing them of treachery in the late election, was, how- —_ _ ever, repelled with such vigor and indigne tion from that quarter, that the Organ in Thursday’s issue was compelled to make & most precipitate and ungraceful retreat, and “ pe-establish the Seventh Ward as the strong- hold of faithful, true and undeviating Amer- icans;"’ (the itetics are the Organ’s.) Now, these fam'ly quarrels are unpleasent effairs at best, and if the Organ had not shown a hopeless proclivity to making bad worse in all its history, we should expect to see it own upto being handsomely beaten on Monday last, and make its peace in the best manner possible with ‘‘ the faithful, true and undej viating Americans’’ it has so wantonly abused. The Senats was not in session to-day. In the House, thirty or forty members were in their seats, and some of the chairs were oc- cupied by ladies. The reading of the jour- nal, the motion to adjourn, and the conclusion of the question, occupied a minute by the clock.
