Tost this 's Mr, Buchanan’s opinion is known not ions to Me. kles, but vo ali his friends who have communicated 2h him on the subject. Bat this does aot by any means ply that such @ contingency migh; not arise, our does nvolve the absurdity of his revtring from » candidacy ich he neither sought nor assumed. [whe other mis-statements, though equally as decided , of minor importance. It may oe true that in Penn vanis Mr. Buchanan stands in nobody's way but it is Y because nobody else has any way. In fact, the feel- of Pennsylvania in favor ot Me. Buchanan is irresisti- . Ite sincerity and toree ere mads the more eyiaeny jm the fact that it depends upon no mavagemeat no ‘gaining, no intrigue, ana bas been evoked by no sys- Matic and persistent attempt to manufacture pudlic :timent and opicton. We have no desire to acsase ths ta of ignorance. It would, no oust, be more flattered be ranked among those who do not kaow thy truth. e facts in relation to Mr. Buchanan’s streng :o in Pean- vania are, doubtless, as well kn>#n to the etitors of » Delta an they are to us. The rastive with which they » concealed or falsified. is doubtiesa to deceive the and to regard Mr. Buchsnan as a Je candidate—one repudiated by his rty, in his own State, and tuar the only one fe three great Northern States whose vote ‘be relfed upon for the nominee of the De- cratic Convention. Of Mr. Dalias’s positive weak- 18, the Delta must be an well assured as of M-. Bu- inan’s , and we wil not so far attack its sa- sity an to suppose it sincerely desirous of his nomina- a. Even in the absence of Mr. Buchanan, there is no urance that Pennsylvania would cast her vote for Me. las, and the course ot the Del/a is such as t deprive a of apy chance of obtaining it in sush a contingeacy. fe gentlemen who contro) and conduct the Delia are | -y astute politicians. Mr. Pe-kias, Mr. Sigar wad Mr. \, Kiss, ‘are persons versed in political movements and iy eware of their effects. They wish to kill off Mc. chanan and Mr. Pierce, whtie if they ruccesd in this rough the course they Rave doped, thay kuow that \y must cestroy Mr. Dailas jas: as effectually. What, mm, can be the motive? What is tho real object of these vements? These are questions whieh cxanot be defi aly answered. The inference is plaia, and our resdera i! as well able to draw it as ourasives. Is is not our irpose to attack any democratic candidate for the wsidency. Or any democratis leader who may be- ne a cardidate. We do not wish to be force’ to our own words after the nomination is made, never ble the process might be to the Delta. rat we have said of Geueral Piercy apolies with eqaai joe to Mr. Davis, Eitaer gentleman has a right to be- oe @ cancidate, and has a justclaim to nave hia pre sions fully and fairly considerei oy the party and the jivention. But neither has a right to asvail the other m behind ® masked batrery. When such @ course is ssued, we consider tt our duty to tear away the mask, \ expose the whoie system of operations to the gaze of » democratic public. It is but right that every can- ate should know whither be csa look for supp rt, om whcm he can rely as his friends. and whom he may 7e to encounter as competitors. If the private and sonal ané poll'fca) frienis of Mc. Davis act without authority in the warfare they are now waging upon admixistration through the columns of the New Or. og Delta, it is but just that the puodlic, in whose miad y are inseparably connected, should be apprised of ‘fact. In eny other event the position of Mr, Davis, a member of an adminis‘ra‘ion daily asswulted by nis nds, is certainly very unenvisble.

THE REASON WHY DICKINSON IS DROPPED. [From the Rlcamond Whig.) MR. DICKINSON, OF NEW YORK. A cotemporary, we veiieve the Lynoourg Virginia referred some days since to the fact, that at tue lait Bal- timore Convention, in 1852, Mr. Dickfaron, of New York, received the unanimous support of the Virginia deluge: tion. and would have obtained the nowiastion but for Mis noble disinterestedness, wiich scarcely has its equal iu Grecian or Roman story. Bu: since ths convention adjcurned, and particularly within tae last twelve months, we nave rare:y, if at all, encoautered his nama in a democratic paper in connection wiih che Pre,idensy, iu a1 the combinations that are »poken of, 1n all the mul- tifarious tickets whic! at democratic fancies have suggested, we find no allusion to him. fhe policy of iz- noing bis pretensious—h{s very existence—appears to uve been drliverstely, sysematioaily aud univacsal.y avepted by the party. What is the meaning of :his con. duct towards the dutinguished ex-Senator of Ney York? Of what crime has ne bewn guilty? What pledge has he violated? What polat of honor has he disregardel— what principle of party has he yiolated ?. We kaow of none —we have beardof none. He occupies the same manly poritior whic2 he did three years ago. He still uphoida, wito the name indomitable apicit the principles of tue con- stitution and all its guaranties. Inthe midst of wide- #pread defestiom he nas stood firm. anshazen and taiti- fui to a!) bis pledges, and to all his duties a4 a patriot andan benest wan. But one thing he has done—and creie committed the unpardonable sin—he has dared vo arraign the dispenser of office as faizhleas to hia trust —as false to that trust—deliberavely emp'oying it to fos- ter aca pamper the enemies of the constitution sad the public peace. He charged the Presiden: with using the Pa'ronage ot bis office to nuras and encrurage the free soilere and abolitionists of the Nor:h, and theredy ren- dering them potent tor mischief. His offeace hath this €x'ent—no mre, It {# not our purpose to enter upon the defense of Mr. Dickinson. We reter to the usage he has received as farni-hing another ng illustration of the panetal as, erudswey UF @ Muuivus party op since be wse the caiet of ten thousand—all were eager to bestow on him the highes: office in the land, and which he on'y failed to receive throug» his own magaanimous disinterestedness; but now, for no other crime than the loss of the favor of the dispenser of the spoils, he is re- pudiated from one end of the country to the other by every genuine democratic politician. Is is possible for party abjectress to go further? {From the Charleston Mercury, Ultra Fire Eater.] TRE SOUTH AT CINCINNATI. It is indeed astonishing into what glariag contradis- tions and absurdities party zeal will hurry men. From the beginning it bas »een urged tha; national convan- ticns fairiy represent the wishes of the party, or rather of the mejority of the party. And yet this argument upon which rests the entire claim of the caacus system to any support, without which itis confecsedly icrospyn- sib.e and unreliable, has not the least shadow of founda- tion in theory or practice. Que need only remem>er the nominations whica have been made by these national copven‘ions—both the whig and democratic—to ase at once the ucter falsity of such an argument. Wi scurcely a single exception, they have rejected the illus. tricus men of tne nation, and ‘Tighved upoa the obsouce and simply availaole. This poliay. so constantly obsocy- ed, has now becomes fixed principle of the convention system; anc a ate wriver in aa snglish Jreview wall ob- serves, that, wnder its operation, tne Arst office ia the government can cever be filled by the first mea. Suca s state of things must stiike every candid mind a3 ano- malas avd upnatural. But if we comricer tne mode in which such conventions are constitued, we will not be surprised at any result, bowever strange. Where there is no pring'ple of fairaess or consistency, the results cannot be otherwise than ua- just avd contradictory. A convention, f-amed wi boat regard to the relative surength of the party in the differ- ent secdoas of the m, cannot, of course, properly represent the party. Based upon’ no just piaciple of reprerentation, how can it justly reflec: public opinion? Jueged by this simple and unanswerabe test, the na- tiona) cox vention avs em is an enormous usurpation, aad wrong upon the rights of the people. Professing to re- present, itio fact suppresses and misrepresents the po- puler voice. The b: tion ta its delibera tions is arbitra State having a vole equal to the number of {ts votes upon joint ballot iu Con. gress, regaroless of the strength of tue party ia their several hmits, The inevitabie consequence it, some States in which the party is {o # hope-ess minorliy, have avote greater thsn otuers in which the party is com. pletely tciumphant—end this in a party convention, pro- sessing truthfully to represent the will of a majority of the party. T.e8 aprosebing Cincinnati Convention will present the working of this system in more glaring terms than ever bef We shall there ee, ia their full grown perfection, how party tactics can’ prevail over simple truth, It’will be constituted of delega‘es trom the frea and alave States, in tue following proportions:— Maiae. . 8 Delaware. 8 New Hampshire. 6 Virginia. etd Vermvrt.. -.6 North Osrolins 10 Maseachuretts 3 South Caroifna, 8 Rhode Ialanc., 4 Connecticut, 6 New York New Jersey.

Can exposure be more complete of the shallowness of the claim set up for this convention, fairly and ibe to represent ine will ot the pes, The same results follow at each atep of the invent But She most remarkable assamption of all in be- half of the Cineinnad Convention is, that inssmuco as the North is overwhelmingly anti-democratic, and the South democratic, that it will fa fact be a oopyention of the South, and, theretore, that South Carolina should granny ‘and hoartily ints it, Now, if this were so, if convention of the democratic rty hac any claim to be regarded a Southsra conven. en Clocic nati seems rather a strange place of meeting.

Not in Ohio, the banaer State of black republicanism; not in any portioa of the North, burning aa {+ is, from Maine to Lowa, with « fa- neticiom whith thirsts for our ruin and humiliation; but in the South—here, surrounded by Southern homes, and sustained by Southern patriotinm; here, where riguts are to be defended and assailed honor vindioated—i+ the proper, the true and only place for a Southern conven- Yon.

This is an ot material progress. Tne age of steam, of railroads, of telograps, of manufietures of the taecusnic arts in trutn, an age of business, ia which, sigentis operations are enterea upon and carried forward with » boldness and energy utverly unknown to all former tims.

Those gigantic business transactions are but types of the times in waich tender in which the as Jateuect, the pina of thie republis is engaged. Tne American part; aple of ally parties, demand that the President, trot whatever party he may be taken, shall represent the tras spicit ‘and genius of the age; that be shall be aman waose tootprints are visibie in the material progress aed pros- perity of ‘he country and the ‘imes, and ia var jadgmaat Geos a Hose nearest to this requisitiva of the popular { ain—In George Law ths American party will present & cancid.ta whose career in live exempiifies the true de- mocracy, the genuine republicanism of :bis country.

His career, more than that of any other man, forni-hes a practical commentary upon the genial in- fluences of our repubdiican iastitations—bow thay tend to rouse the Iaten; energies of men and bring forth their inward might. Again—In George Law the American party will present ‘& candidate who-e sympathies are with the masses of tais country, who is linked to them by his interests, by his own history, by tue memory of his early struggles aad his ster schievements in the great battle of life; wh is of them by birth, by education and habits of thought and ofaction; who is eminently a man of the peaple, made such by his past iabors and the very necessities of his po- sition.

Such a man in our judem*nt is Georgs Law. His pase history, the whole tenor ol nis ufe, proves him t9 be such. Such are some of the reasons upon which wa base our preference for Georgs Law as the Amecican candidate for the ‘Presidency. There are others equay potent, to which we shallallude hereatter.

Movements of the people, entirely disconnected from the manceuvring of trading politiciaus at Washington or elowhere, are Laroming frequent in different sections of the contederacy. Weregard these outgivings with more than ordinary satisfaction, for they go to strengtoen our trust that tne people are becoming tired of being tic instruments in the hands of political trickster gusted with names whicn mean nothing, and with prin- ciples and platforms whica, no ma:ter how smoothiy they read and sound, are almogi invariably perverted by their authors so as to further selfich and corrupt schemes of personal andizement, without any re- gard whatever to the interesta of the citizen or the cha- Tacter of the nation. See nase Soe HUY VEE Be BtUO UHC, exclusively 19 the bands of the people. only to resolve that they will govern the poli. ticians, not the politiciage ‘thom’ aa hes beon the baleful custom the past twonty years. For a series of long years the good, trusting peo- ple bave been deluded with the taking and beau- tiful idea that they were the source of political authority cf the United States, when tae actual fact has ‘been that they had nothing to do with the selection of rulers further than to vote for or against ndidates derignated by the managers of the opposiag We are aware that euch truths as these will prove un, ble to thousands who have been led astray iu the pursuit of @ gittering yet worthless bauble; but truth, how bluntly spoken it matters not, operates like bitier but SS medicine, and usually brings about a good re. suli. For our part, if the faa aod conclude to dismiss the traders in pollties from furtner service and to take their own government into their owa hands, we shall be more then satisfied. By all means, le: us have a dynascy aptioging fom the people once more. e have, on previous occasions, noted the names of distinguished men brought forward ia conaectfon with the Presideucy by meetiogs of the people. Ancng these the honored name of Millard Fillmore has been proml- nent; and we havn no hesitation in exproauing our belief that’ if the politisisa: would let the people alone, he would be elected next November by an over- whelming majority. But as the matter now stands, and it the future is to re but a realization of the past, juscas lik+ly as not some mere partisan, without olalias, charac- ter cr intellect, with the aid of political wire-workers nay succeed in atiaining the cbief magitracy!
