The South did not desert him. Taking out Virginia, where too many seem content to live on the memories of its States’ Right devotion in the past, and Louisiana, which is no exemplar of Southern principles, the South stood firm asa rock for Pierce, and only yielded the struggle of grati- tude and reverence when New Hampshire withdrew him from the field.

Advertisements should be handed in by 32 o’clock, m., otherwise they may not appear until the next day. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Inte/ligencer republishes the paregraph of the Alexandria Gazette deprecating the custom of calling cut high public functiona- ries to discourse to meetings upon politics, and especially the late visit to the President (to that end) of the Washington city demo- cratic ratification meeting; says upon the sub- ject: “We doubt not that the above paragraph expresses the feeling of considerate pe here and every where. The visit appeared tous at the time in bad taste, on general grounds, and under the circumstances of the case was particularly so—quite as much so as was & like visit made to Mr. Webster by a large body of citizens on the night after the nomination of Gen. Scott.” The Union devotes much of its space to-day to the republication of favorable newspaper notices of Mr. Buchanan’s nomination. The same paper regards the article in yesterday’s Intelligencer upon the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, as an intimation of the intention of the conductors of that journal to support the Republican ticket ———q307-— WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOssIP List of Patents issued from the United States Patent Office for the week ending June 10, 1856—each bearing that date: William W.

New York.—In view of the general publi- cation of the detailed report of the proceed- ings of the recent Cincinnati Convention, itis hardly necessary tor us to say that the ques- tion with reference to the admission of the two delegations presenting tnemselyes from the Empire State was settled wholly without reference to the merits of the case, and rather upon the probable effect of the admission of either wing upon the nomination about to be made. The committee on Credentials, com- posed as that was of the most experienced and intellectual member of each of the thirty delegations—selected, on account of their su- perior abilities, to dispose of that knottiest sub- ject arising in the course of the Convention’s deliberations—devoted three days and nights to the examination of the case. Almost all of those on the committee, who, on account of their own location, entered upon the labor with strong feelings against the Softs, were impelled by an abiding sense of justice to de- cide in favor of the regularity of their organi- zation and against that of the Hards; and for the admission of forty-six of them to that of twenty-six (we believe it was) of their op- ponents, as undoubtedly due to the numerical tuperiority of their constituents, Upon the question (in the committee) of the adoption of the report of the majority, the vote stood— yeas 19, nays 11; the mass of the Southern States’ committee men voting in the affirma- tive. It will be recollected that the Convention voted by a very small majority, to set aside this report, and adopt that of the minority. We invite a comparison of the detailed vote by which that was done, with a vote on the first ballot for a Presidential nominee, that the reader may comprehend at a glance the entire justice of our declaration that the merits of the case had very little to do with the terms on which it was settled The record or his- tory of the Democratic party of New York for some years past, as proven before the commit- tee, generated upon the minds of most of the Southern committee men the impression that the Hards, with all their professions of steady Opposition to Abolitionism in all its phazea, had “ slipped’? whenever 20 to do seemed likely to serve their temporary purposes. Or, in other words, that the difference between the two contending interests upon the slavery question had been little more, in effect, than that between tweedledum and tweedledec. | Wil R. Thomson, of Cleveland, 0.—For The bearing of the Soft delegates throughout wheats ent in constructing rcilroad car whee. the contest won forthem the respect of most of those of the South who took sufficient interest in the question to study it carefully. Itis to be hoped that the National Convention’s re- commendation for a single convention of the Democracy of New York to select candidates for electors and State offices will be carried out in good faith. The call already Published for such a con- vention is indicative that this will be done. The recult of the election for members of that convention will surely vindicate the justice of the proportions in which the Credentials com- mittee above referred to Proposed to receive (at Cincinnati) the representatives of the Democracy of New York. A large majority of the body will thus be composed of Softs. We trust and believe that, though they will have power to select candidates from their own ranks only, they will accord to their rivals a full share of them pro rata with their Proportion of delegates elected. If they do so, the unanimous sentiment of other States will frown down any that may be made by the other wing to demand more considération than that to which their comparative strength, as mani- fested in the selection of delegates to the approaching convention to which we refer will justly entitle them. We know that the Softs are determined to give the vote of the State to James Buchanan, if their exertions, without thought of them- selves, can accomplish that so desirable end. The Hards were, toa man, original Buchanan men, and, of course, will labor faithfally to thesame end. Under these circumstances, it can hardly be possible that New York will Edward A Tuttle, of Williamsburgh, N.Y. For improvement in registers and ventilators.

By Thomas [ngoldsby, Esq , (the Rev. Richard Harris Barham ) ith a Memoir of the author. Reprinted from the Tenth English Edition. With [lastrations ty Cruikshank and Leach. Philadelphia: illis P. Hazard. (For sale in this city by Franek Taylor.) We well remember the feeling of delighted astonishment, the amusing flow, and facility of versification, of theso legends, occasioned us upon our first coming upon them in Bent- ley’s Magazine. With the single exception of Byron’s Don Juan, we think they have no parallel in the English language. The writer of the Memoir says, with truth, ‘‘popular phrases, sentences the most prosaic, even the cramped technicalities of legal diction, and snatches from well nigh every language, aro wrought in with an apparent absence of aly art that surprises, pleases, and convulres the reader at every turn.’”? The humor is all- pervading, hovering at times on the verge of the irreverent. As with Sterne, the title of “Rey ” ia connection with the author's name strikes one rather oddly. The reader may enter upon the legends, however, without fear of encountering the grossness of Tristam Shandy. The illustrations are bad copies of the originals. Lire or Narotgon III. Eureror or tar Frenca. By Edward Roth. Boston: Pub- lished by Patrick Donahoe. The interest which this narrative excited on its appearance in the columns of a Boston weekly newspaper, causes its present appear- ance in book form. Without laying any par- ticular claim to originality, the author has made good use of materials drawa from the best French authors, and has, altogether, made a very readable book. The description of the escape from Ham, for instance, haa all the fascination of a romance. Like Abbott, he is a firm believer in the Napoloon dynasty; and the history of the present emperor takes a natural rose-colored tinge. The extensive extracts given from the works of Louis Napo- leon, with his correspondence, proclamations, decrees, measages, &c., are valuable additions to the work. From Franck Taylor we have ‘Mother Goose’s Melodies,”’ beautifully illustrated All attempts to supplant Mother Goose by more “ instructive’? lyrics have signally failed, as the constantly required new editions of the old favorite sufficiently show. Also, from Franck Taylor, we have “The Children’s Picture Gallery,” got up ina style to gladden the eyes of the little folks.

The united hard and soft Democratic State Convention will be held at Syracuse, in Mar- ket Hall, July 10, when the electoral ticket favorable to the election of James Buchanan to the Presidency and J. C. Breckinridge to the Vice Presidency will be chosen, and State officers, including Governor, put in nomination for the suffrages of the democracy. The ar- rangement to make this call was made on the last day of the session of the Cincinnati Con- vention. The Selma (Ala ) Sentinel, Know Nothing, says. if Fillmore is to be run as a Whig for the Presidency, it would cut the Sentinel out of all chances to support him, and it would, in that event, be feral back to the support of the Democratic nominee. $<» —______ GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Groreetown, June 11, 1856. A most shamefal outrage was committed on two unoffending colored persons yesterday, by a party of lawless fellows said to be from our city. The facts as we gather them from some of the Injured oedsee fre as follows: As one of the Cumberland coal boats was coming up from Alexandria, and when near the Aque- duct, she was forcibly drawn to land, and the parties in question went on board, when find- ing no person except a colored man and his wife, they entered the cabin and forcibly opened some of its apartments, considerably injuring some of the doors, &c , while ev doing. They afterwards beat the man in a most shame- ful manner, took the woman on shore and car- tied her by force over to Analostan island, where she was handled pretty roughly by them We understand that the captain of the boat, a white man, who was absent at the time the outrage was committed, has gone to Alexandria this morning, for the purpose of securing the services of some of the Virginia: officers to arrest the offenders, all of them be- ing known. = Lhe following gentlemen were elected direc- tors ot the Georgetown gas light company on Monday: R. P. Dodge, A. H_ Pickrell, Geo. Waters, Henry King, Richard Pettit, 8. R. Brick, W. F. Seymour. Forrest hall was thronged last night with as gay and agreeable a company as we ever saw assembled in it. The tables are teeming with useful and fancy articles, together with an abundant supply of seasonable delicacies. At a regular meeting of the Democratic Association on Monday night, resolutions en- dorsing the nominations of the Cincinnati Convention—Buchanan and Breckinridge— was Poop passed, and a committee appointed to make arrangements for a grand ratification meeting at an early day.

ANNEXATION oF NicaRagua.—A writer in the Mobile Daily Register argues at much length in favor of the annexation of Nicaragua to the United States. This movement seems to be a favorite one at the southwest, and in New Orleans especially the greatest interest is manifested in the fate of Walker and his men. The filibuster chief was formerly a resifent of New Orleans and is a native of Nashville, Tennessee. One southern writer anticipates that, when the Mexican and Central American States are annexed to the United States New Orleans will become tke great commercial em- porium of the western world, and overshadow entirely New York, Philadelphia, and other nerthern marts.
