While absent we took occasion to correspond with our readers through the Star. We are indebted to a friend ee gst sce serra: every thing appearin; in the Star’s iDg- iaias aaa aon Thursday before last, and take this occasion to state the fact, not being willing to assume credit for articles for which the Scar is indebted to others. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer announces the acceptance by Colonel Benton of the nomination for Gov- ernor of Missouri, tendered to him by his friends there. Those nominating him are really the Republican party of Missouri, their feeble pretence of identification with the Dem- ccratic party was scouted by the Cincinnati Convention, who, it will be remembered, unan- tmously kicked their application for admission out of Smith and Nixon’s hall. From the best information at hand, we are satisfied that they cannot carry from the Democratic ticket more than ten thousand votes—by no means suffi- cient to endanger its triumph. The Union chronicles the demonstrations in favor of the Cincinnati Convention’s ticket already made by the Democracy in various sections of the Union. moo WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP The Nomination —Having been among those who strenuously opposed the selection of James Buchanan by the recent Cincinnati Convention, it becomes us frankly to state our position with reference to it, and at the same time to explain to those with whom it is our lot to act in politics—the States’ Rights men—the reasons impelling us tothe course we propose for ourself. As indicated in let- ters from Cincinnati to the Star, the endorse- ment of the portion of the platform treating of the Kansas-Nebraska and kindred ques- tions, by the Pennsylvania delegation, who were the immediate representatives of Mr Buchanan, was everything in its way that the Southern opponents of his nomination could justly ask; and, contrary to our expectation, all his supporters from other non-slaveholding States gave its every obligation equally hearty pledges. There was no disposition to dodge its just interpretation manifested in any quar- ter whatever—no endorsements with men- tal reservations. On the contrary, it was heartily acquiesced in by all those who sought h:s selection avowedly, because having been original opponents of the Kansas-Ne- braska bill, they saw no other way of get- ting back into full communion with the Dem- oeratic party of the day than through the nomination of a new man (so far as the Kan- sas-Nebraska issue was concerned) under whose auspices—though pledged to maintain intact in his administration all that the cause of States’ rights has gained during the last three years—‘‘ by-gones shall be by-gones. On reaching Cincinnati, we conceived that it was the purpose of the original santi-Ne- braska_men who were urging Mr. Buchanan’s nomination so strenuously, among others, to seoure their man, and then toplay the South false. In this opinign we were mistaken. We narrowly watched every thing occurring there, and came away with the conviction upon our mind that all in the Democratic party of the North are hereafter to be true to the great fundamental principle of the right of the people of the Territories of the United States to adopt institutions to suit themselves in the formation of State constitutions in a legal way and at the Proper time, and to that of the right of the South to all constitutional protection of her institution from the effects of the in- sanity of the times upon the slavery ques tion as manifested in a thousand ways. We dreaded, above all others, the possible in- fluence of the anti-Nebraska-bill Democrats of Ohio, Wisconsin and New Englend. Ere leaving Cincinnati, we became convinced that there are uo longer any such politicians who propose hereafter to act with the Democratic party. All who are not anxious to stand on the platform, as interpreted by the States’ Rights men of the South, have gone over to the Know Nothings or Republicans We appeal to any and every Southern rights man who attended the Convention, to bear witness to the truth of our assertion, in here declaring that all of them were equally cur- prised at the heartiness and unmistakable good faith with which the entire North and West at Cincinnati, in and out of the Convention, pledged themzelves to the interpretation of the platform as given by the South, and to the maintenance hereafter of that interpretation. Under such circumstances, we do not perceive how an honorable man, pledged to abide the action of the Convention if it adopted a sound platform, can for an instant hesitate to labor to discharge his obligations under that pledge as earnestly as though its action with refer- ence to men had entirely accorded with his personal wishes and preferences. We conceive that the North having accorded to the States’ Rights men the great point of the conservation of sound Principle, there rests upon the latter a double duty of earnest and unflagging exertion throughout the canvass. First, to redeem the pledge of hearty scqui- escence in the Convention’s nominations in- volved in their acceptance by every Southern delegation at Cincinnati; and next, for the sake of the great cause of Strict Construction, upon the supremacy of which in the councils of every Democratic national administration, the permanency of the government and its in- tegrity reatly rest. It is now, more than ever before, the im- Perative duty of the strict constructionists and rigid economists of the South to place them- selves in a position from which, after the elec- tion, they can say, with truth, to the new ad- ministration, that it owes its triumph to the hearty labors of the poworful minds and the per- sonal influence and eloquence of those iden- tified with the States’ Rights wing of the party, Without their support no slaveholding State fouth of Maryland and Kentucky can be car- tied in the name of the Democratic party. Mr. Buchanaa and his immediate friends who are men of experience and sound judg- ment, know this fact well, and also that no Democratic administration can really main- tain power for a day (in Congress) unless heartily sustained by the States’ rights mem- bers of both Houses and th hising constituencies. lta There can be no question of Mr. Buchanan's election; nor of the fact that strenuous efforts will be made by democrats of loose notions from all sections of the Union to give tone to his administration, as are uniformly made on each new Demooratic administration as it comes in. A vigorous support to him through- out the canvass, such as we indicate above, and manly attitude after victory shall have crowned their exertions, is surely the path of duty for all States’ Rights men. If that policy be pursued by our friends, one and all, it can- not fail to lead to the desired results. We mean, to Mr. Buchanan’s eleetion; and, then, to the formation of his administration upon the principle of equal and exact justice to all sections of the Democratic party, and to the discharge of its (his administration’s) functions upon the principles which cannot be abandoned by a Democratic national administration, with- outthe complete disbandment of the present Democratic party, and the entire overthrow of any faction or fraction that may essay to con- tinue to wear its name as a cover under which really to set at defiance in its acts, the doc- trines which alone render the Democratic party organization valuable to the public in terest; as, without rigid adherence to them (the Democracy being in power) more injurious effects would result to the country’s future, than from the policy of a national administra- tion elected to carry out latitudinarian ideas of the rights and duties of the General Govern- ment. We intend, therefore, to do our best to aid the cause of Mr. Buchanan; and trust and be- lieve that every States’ Rights man, from Ma. son and Dixon’s line to the western boun- dary of Texas, will also thus aid in the good work of perpetuating in the government the principles of the strict constructionists and States’ Rights party. The Wagon Road.—The resolution adopted by the Cincinnati Convention, urging the prompt construction of arafe means of over land communication with California and the Pacific-side Territories, has no reference what" ever to the Pacific railroad; butt> the military or ordinary wagon road so earnestly and im- ploringly prayed for from California. This view of it is in strict keeping with the decla- ration of the Hon. Mr. Inge in urging it on the Convention. Though a hearty advocate for at once granting the petition, we saw no propriety whatever in the Convention’s adop- tion of the resolution, even as a simple expres- sion of the opinion on the subject entertained by the gentlemen composing the Convention. No other domestic question is just now of grea er importance. The problem of the contin- uance of political connection between the States of the Atlantis and gulf elopes and our Pacific possessions, hinges on the fate of this proposition in a great measure, as we have repeatedly taken occasion to explain of late. No one questions the constitutional right of the Government to open such a road for military purposes; nor can any well-informed person doubt that the military exigencies of the Gov- ernment require its prompt completion—the mere clearing away the growth from a wagon track, laying down a few causeways, grading a bill and hollow here and there, &c. Theex- pense will be a mere bagateile; hardly greater than the cost of the session of Congress for the month the body may possibly take it into its head to discuss it, now that the Democratic National Convention have formally taken up the subject. The Delegates, &c.—Some three or four hundred persons from a distance, who at. tended the recent convention at Cincinnati, are now in Washington, having arrived with- in the last twenty-four hours. Many from the South have extended their trip to Niagara» and may be expected to return home, via Washington, shortly. Many, again, remained a day or two in Cincinnati, after the conven- tion adjourned, to cohoodle. Not a few pious souls among them have al- ready set out on a pilgrimage to Wheatland, where they are destined to meet the blandest reception conceivable from the polished gen tleman who presides over its hospitalities. We have no idea, however, that the solicitous pa- triots who have gone thither to lay anchors to windward, will make more by their trip than acerued to more or less gentlemen at Cincinnati who are supposed to have shaped their course upon the Presidential question with reference to the chances for the Vice Presidential nomination. The wags at Cincinnati amused themselves not a little in laughing at what they conceived to be efforts of the friends of more or less as- Pirants to make Vice Presidential capital for their respective favorites, earning, all of them, in return for their labors, only fishermon’s luck.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill introduced by Mr. Trumbull to restore order and peace in Kansas, was de- bated on the question of its reference by Mr T. for it and Mr. Douglas against it. tt was then referred to the Territories Committe and the Senate adjourned. ag a Preceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, after the reading of the journal, Mr. Thompson, of Ky., called at tention to the fact that fromthe journal it would appear as if Mr. Stuart had been elected rmanent President, pro tempore; whereas, e@ understood the motion to that he be elected te fill the chair merely during t! sence of Mr. Bright. He presumed the error wae an inadvertent one. Mr. Butler said that there could be but one President pro tempore ata time under the constitution; and his motion was that Mr. Stuart should be elected to that office ; which Was agreed to. Mr. Seward concurred in the view that Mr. Stuart would be entitled to retain the office after the return oy Mr. Bright. — gubject was then dropped. +. Poster submitted a resolution in ref enee to the issue of a register to the barque Resolute ; which after some remarks upon the subject by himself and Mr. Mason, was witb- drawn, Mr. Crittenden submitted resolation re- the exist- uesting the President, in view of ig ulties in Kansas, to em: the ser- vices of Gon. Scott, at the head o tbe mili- the Government. He spoke at » Pay- ing a high compliment to General Scott, and d it hi time that some adequate pone = ed devised to restore peace in Kansas. Mr. Mason was not prepared to vote for or inst the resolution, aaa he asked that it t lie over until to-morrow. aig Crittenden was still advocating the measure when our report closed. In the House, after the reading of the journal, the question arose on the pending motion of Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, to amend the journal of the day before yesterday, wherein that represented the bill of Mr. Ed- wards for the removal of the seat of govern- ment to have been received and referred, and put; no quorum voting, a call of the House was ordered, and one hundred and twenty- one members having answered to their names, further proveedings under it were dispensed with. The bill to amend the act to protect life on steamboats, also the bill to expedite the is- suing of land warrants, which were special orders for this day, were severally postponed until to-morrow. Mr. Burlingame presented resolutions from the Legislature of Massachusetts upon the Brooks and Sumner affair ; laid on the table and ordered to be printed. The question on the motion of Mr. Jones, of Tenn., to amend the journal, above referred to, again came up, and no quorum voted.

E.B Wakeman and Chatfield were engaged: During Mr. Chatfield’s remarks, Mr. akeman lost his equanimity, and flung a law book at Mr. Chatéela’s head, which Mr. C. threatened to retaliate with an inkstand; when Judge Ogden immediately stopped the affray. POLITICAL ITEMS. Ata meeting of the Democratic National Committee held at the Burnett House, in Cin- cinnati, Ohio, on Friday, June 6, 1856, pur- suant to notice, Hon. D. A. Smalley, of Ver- mont, was chosen chairman, and John H. George, of New Hampshire, secretary. Voted, that the chairman and Messrs. Dr. Graffenreid of Georgia, and Vallandigham of Ohio, be a committee to pears the publica- tion of the proceedings of the National Con- vention. Voted, to adjourn to meet at the National Hotel, in Washington, D. C , on Wednesday, June 11, 1856, at 12 o’clock, m. D. A. Saattey, Chairman. Joun H. Gzorcs, Secretary. The Chicago Democrat, edited by Hon John Wentworth, familiarly called in this city “Long Jobn,’’ who, fora number of years was the Democratic representative in Congress from Second district of Lilinois, has hoisted the name of Col. John Charles Fremont, of Cal- ifornia, for President. A“ Buck and Breck’? club is to be formed this week in Philadelphia. The Cincinnati Commercial learns positively from the Missouri delegation, that Col. Ben- ton has consented to accept the nomination for Governor, and is arranging his appoint- ments preparatory to stumping the State. Hon. Ryland Fletcher doclines the nomina- tion for Governor, made by tho anti-Fillmore convention of Vermont, and has written a let- ter to the Know Nothing committee officially notifying them of his declension. Green Adams and B. F. Rice, the former the Know Nothing and the latter the Demo- cratic Presidential elector in the Sixth district of Kentucky, have already commenced the canvass, and are stumping the district Visit to Mr. Bucaanan.—The Keystone Club, with Beck’s brass band, of Philadelphia, visited Wheatlead on Monday, sactetat by several hundred citisens. The President of the Club was introduced to Mr. Buchanan, and congratulated him as the nation’s choice. The work was begun and sbey intended to carry it on until success crowned their efforts. Mr. Bugbanan replied as follows: entlemen of the Keystone Club: I give you a most hearty and warm welcome to my abode. I congratulate you, not upon my nom- ination, but u the glorious privilege of being a citizen of our great Republic. Your superiority over the people of other countries has been fully demonstrated by the conduct of the vast concourse assembled during the past week at Cincinnati. Upon any similar occa- sion in Europe, the voluntary expression of the people would have beendrowned in martial music, and their actions controlled by an army with banners. How unlike the spectacle at Cincinnati, where delegates from the people of the differ- eut States met in Convention, and under the rotection of the constitution and the laws maces deliberated upon a subject of vital importance to the country. Gentlemen, two weeks since I should have made you a longer speech, but now that I have been placed upon a platform of which I most heartily approve, and being the representa- tive of the great Democratic party, and not simply James Buchanan, I must square my conduct according to that platform and insert no new plank, nortake one from it That platform is sufficiently broad and national for the whole Democratic party. This glorious party now, more than ever, has demonstrated that it is the true conservative party of the Constitution and the Union. Frox Mexico.—The EEE by Pres- ident Comonfort of the political chief, F. Sa- tillo, to the post of Governor of the State of Cobuila, had caused wide-spread popular dis- content. The people of fifteen settlements of the district had resolved to resist it to the last, and the measure was approved of by the citizens of two towns only. Gov. Vidaurri had, in consequence, suspended the execution of order of his installation, and referred the matter to the general Congress for reconsider- tion If persevered in a civil war was dread- ed, and Leon was already receiving 2 supply of arms from New York. Vidaurri was highly esteemed. Governor Garza had left for the sity of Mexico, hoping to induce the general vernment to take effectual measures for the i maagilalcape ye gay It was teagan i: jarge ds) arm: sent there. 4 New Amvsexext ror Junrusy.—We are told that at a trial in Charlestown, Va., the jury in the case of Gottlip Collimer for forgery, were out some five or six hours, and were un- able to agree, and getting tired of being con- fined to a small room in the court house, pro- posed to the constable in attendance to let them out in the front yard to play marbles, which he did, but forbid them to speak to any person. The scene attracted quite a crowd of the towns people; the constable had his hands full in keeping the crowd from encroachi too near the marblers. The jury having suf- ficiently amused themselves, and night ap proaching, they concluded it best to return to their room and agree upon their verdict, which they did, and the man was acquitted. ——_- +e -____.
