Yesterday, at half-past ten in the morniag, we reeeived a special despatch from Cincinnati, which, in two words, told the story — Buchanan nominated.” Ten minutes later we were apprised that the work was done on the seventeenth ballot. and five minutes tere- after there waa a booming of artillery, anda boisterous rejoicing among the idle and ex pectant democracy hanging round the Park, the hardehells leadiag off, as if celebrating, not se much the success of Buchanan, as the obsequies of Franklin Pierce. Throughout the conntry yesterday there was probably as much gunpowder consumed as in the last day’s bombardment of Sebastopol. The nomination of Mr. Buchanan as the democratic candidate has been generally re- garded for some time past as a very pro- "The Democratic National Convention terminated | Dable event. The deluded candidate of the ‘ite labors at Cincinnati yesterday. James Bachanan ef Pennsylvania, was, on the seventeenth ballot, wmanimonsly nominated for President, and John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky, was unamimously nomi- nated for Vice-President, on the second ballot. Tae proposition in favor of the construction of a railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was taken up and adopted by a vote of 205 to 76. The National Executive Committee was appointed, and Charleston, S. C., fixed upon as the place for holding the Convention in 1560 The news of the nomination of Mr. Bochanan caused considerable commotion among the demo- cratic politicians in this city. Guns were fired in the Park in half an hour after the result was known, and during the day there were salvos of artillery all over the city. The soft shells met at Tammany Hali, and concluded to hold a ratification meeting next Wednesday evening; and the Young Men’s Demccratic Union Club also met and passed reso- butions endorsing the nomination. Propositions for a union with the hards were made in both bodie=, bat !aid on the table for future consideration. Tam- many Hall was bri: tly illuminated in the even- ng. In Brooklyn, also. there was cannon firing and illuminations. By reference to our tele- grapbic despatches it will be seen that similar demonstrations was made all over the coun- wy. The following isa brief sketch of Mr. Bu- ehanan’s public life:—Mr. Buchanan was born io Franklin county, Pennsylvania, on the 19th of April, 1791. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Legisla- ture in 1514 and 1515. In 1530 he was sent to Con- gress, where he continued for ten years. In 1* was sent as Minister to Russia by General Jacks u. He returned home in 1534, and was immediately elected to the United States Senate, where he re- mained until 1842. Afterwards he wes appointed Secretary of State by President Polk, which he held for four years; and White House never had a shadow of a chance. With a degree of fatuity and folly which could only have been imbibed from the fawning but deceittul sycophants about him, he alone seems to have entertained the idea of a second nomi- nation. Doubtless the very men who voted for him et Cincinnati did so with his name from one side of their mouths, and a broad grin on the other side, at the breadth and gravity of the joke. Yet it must be conceded that the Convention, in order to break the vio- lence of his fall, dropped the infatuated Mr. Pierce in the cellar, among the fossils of the party, with remarkable tenderness and mag- banimity. Mr. Buchanan isa very respectable states- man, and seems to be considered among the wiseacres of Wall street a sort of guaranty for the security of all sorts of stock and specula- tive operations. What grounds these Wall street philosophers have for this impression, considering the party, the platform, and the Ostend antecedents of Mr. Buchanan, we do not profess to understand. It is well known throughout the country and the world that he has long occupied a highly respectable posi- tion as a public man, and that in private life he is amiable, modest and agreeable. But asa statesman Mr. Buchanan is cold, timid and non- committal; in character closely aualagous to most of the prominent democratic politiciaus who rose up with Van Buren under the shadow of the broad wings of that old democratic eagle, General Jackson. Of this class, how- ever, Mr. Buchanan is one of the most cousis- soon after the accession of Mr. | “nt and respectable. His amiability is, per- Pierce to the Presidency he was sent as Minister to | haps, his principal drawback. Sometimes England, from whence he returned a few weeks ago. The European mails brought by the Niagara to Boston reached this city yesterday evening. We publish a full report of the debate which took plaee in the British House of Lords, 22d of May, on the subject of the new maritime code of Europe, as lately regulated at the Paris Peace Conference. Lord Colchester looks upon the measure as a un- wise, unstatesmanlike, and calculated to effectually destroy the naval power of England. Lord Claren- wed the entire subject in an able speech: and snowed that the rights of commerce, humanity and international comity demanded such a measure. Hts pesition was fully sustained by the vote of the House. The ofSeia] protocol of the Danish govern- ment, by which that country agrees to relinquish her claims to levy the Sound tolls on payment of thirty-five millions of vix dollars, is also given. It is again asserted that the Russian government is seriously offended at the ac tion of France, England and Austria in perfecting the secret treaty of the 15th of April. Indeed, it is said that Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador in France, had been called suddenly from London to Paris, owing to remonstrances made to the Emperor by the Rassian Minister on this subject. The Paris correspondent of a London journal states that Napoleon had been publicly insulted in Paris, by a man dressed in a cloak pitching his cap into his carriage. We have received, by way of England, advices from Australia, dated at Sydney 23d, and at Mel- hourne 28th of February. (old sold at £3 16s. 6d. per ounce, and the yield was good. A large quan- tity of the precious metal bad been exported. In and around Melbourne there were many local im provements progressing. Political matters in Syd. ney were unchanged. ‘The French journals, La Patrie aud Le Journal du Havre, have taken up the speech of Gen. Quit man, of Mississippi, on Mexico, Cuba and Centra American affairs. They invite France, England Spain, and all the other States interested, to puta stop to the fil bustering propensities of the United States. The statement received from Quebec on the arri- val of the Cunard steamer Indian, with regard to Mr. Marcy's having suggested 4 combination of the English and American governments, for the protec tion of their respective citizens in MPraragua, tarns out to have been o mistake of tem telegraph. We give elsewhere a full report of Lord Clarendon’ speech in the House of Lords, by which it will be seen that the idea originated with his lordsbip, and jot with Mr. Marey The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,000 6 bales, without change in prices.

More of this, however, hereafter. The policy of the administration of Mr. Bu- chanan, if elected, may be conjectured from the resolutions called the Platform of the‘ » vention, from his specific pledges during iue canvass, and from the public acts and negotia- tions connected with his name during the last few years. It is very evident that the foreig@ policy of this great country is at length beginning to as- sume proportions of a gigantic magnitude, from the wonderful effects of steam navigation and magnetic telegraphs; and it is as broadly manifest that we can no longer isolate ourselves from the rest of the civilized world, as we might havedone with impunity at the close of the last century. Now the American flag in our own waters floats familiarly side by side with ‘he colors of England, France, Russia and all other nations, thus identifying and blending uswith the great civilized family of mankind who control the destinies of the Old World, In this view the acts and opinions of Mr. Ba- chanan in his official negotiations abroad, ux- der our New Hampshire administration, will very properly become one of the most impor- tant features of discussion in connection with his name for the succession. He cannot es- cape the follies, blunders and vacillations of this Pierce dynasty, of which he is the anoint ed heir, touching the Crampton enlistment business, our Spanish relations, Central Ame- rica and Nicaragua, We are aware, also, that Mr. Buchanan’s great idea of “manifest destiny,” as developed in the Ostend manifesto, is a policy not pecu- liar to himself, but is skilfully embodied in the apparently innocent resolutions of the Cincinnati platform. This policy is simply the plan of seizing and appropriating the island of Cuba by force of arms, in proud de- fiance of the public opinion of the world and the contemptible threats of resistance of Eny- land, France and On the Spain, very first ballot at Cincinnati, notwithstanding the vast patronage of the President in Louisiana that State turned her back upon bim, and yoted ber whole strength | for Buchanan. The solution is that Ostend te ban manifesto, which neither Pierce no Marcy, with the Russian war in their favor, bad tomach to ewallow. Such is the uncertain porition of the Vincinnati ticket, upon our fo- | 4£$18 25, which receded | | reign relations, in reaze to our great com- mercial, financial and industria! interests boand up in the maintenance of peace. Upon matters of domestic policy, Mr. Bacha- nan was opposed te the repeal of the Missouri compromise ; but now that the repeal fs the law of the land © giving it @ fair trial, and for carrying out ‘aithfally the doctrine of “squatier sovereignty” os dimly defined at Cincinnati. Let us hope that, should the duty seeing the laws ‘faithfully executed” fal! upon his shoulders, its performeauce will be attended with happier resulcs thaa the dread- ful feuds between abolitionists and “ border ruflians,” excited by the vacillatiag, crimiaal and bloody mal-administration of Pierce, Mar cy and Jeff. Da We hope so, thoagh uci with ings in view of that i secession ultraism of the Southern uigg drivers, which has infused itself into all the eins and arteries, the tissues, nerves and boues of the demoralized modera democracy. The main question is, what are the prospe.ts of the campaign’ We anticipate one of the most exciting, tumultuous and revolutionary polit: cal contests in all the hietory of the repub'\. Many of our hopefal demozratic fellow-citiz affect to helfeve that there will hardly be fight—that Mr. Buchanan, with scarcely a show of resistance, will walk over the course, We have only to say, looking calmly over the whole field, that for all such as exter- tain the belief that there will be no struggle, the doors ot some lunatic asylum had better be opened at once. We have no doubt of the fuct that a, vast majority of the American people, in the pre- sent distracted condition of the country, are opposed to the democratic party, as debauched and demoralized under the malign influences of this Pierce adminis: tration; and we believe that Uwre would still exist a majority of the American people opposed to the ratifi. cation of the debaucheries of this corrupted party, even if they should nominate as their representative an angel from heaven, This is our conviction and our belief. Grant that asen honest man and a statesman, Mr. Buchanaa isa fair nomi- nation, and that he is immeasurably superior to men cf such small calibre and paltry expe- dicnis as Pierce and his Fornzy Kitchen Cabi- net, the impressive eviderces are yet ail around us ofan impending revolution. Louis the Sixteenth was an amiable, respectable aua worthy man, and sincerely labored for the good of his people; yet in the terrible storm raised by his imbecile and corrupt predeces- sors he was swept away. We anticipate no- thing so frightful in this enlightened day; yet we say that Pierce has rsised a storm which even Buchanan cannot peremptorily command tobe still. It is drifting to a great popular revolution. We shall have a revolution—we must have a revolution; fora sweeping revo- lution is as necessary at times to purify the Political atmosphere asis a summer thuader gust to clear away the miasma and corrupting exhalations of a long sickly siege of the dog days. e say that there is a majority of the Ame- rican people throughout the Union opposed to the democratic party, as demoralized under the Wicked and imbecile administration of Mr. Pierce. Whether the various and incongruous elements, active and passive, which enter into the composition of this majority, can be fused into a practical shape for political action at this time, remains to be seen. The Northern anti-Fillmore Know Nothing Convention which meets here on the 12th instant, and the Seward coalition anti-slavery Convention which meets at Philadelphia on the 17th, will have, for th's contest, the solution of the problem in their hands, Alarmed at the self-evident weakness of a pure nigger worshipping experiment, the leading organ of W. H. Seward has come oat, and, flatly setting him aside, advocates the no- mination of a man possessing the essentials for an earnest battle with the demoralized but still formidable democracy. This Seward or- gan wants new man, fresh and full of daring exploits and romantic achievements in the Rocky Mountains—a man, too, whose birth and rudiments of political education belong to South Carolina. Brilliant idea, that, of run- ning a South Carolinian as the anti-slavery candidate for the Presidency. But upon him, it is believed, the mass of the anti-democratic elements of the North, free soil and Know Nothing and conservative, may be fused. We await the results of the two conven- tions that are to settle the question. Meantime, Mr. Fillmore, with all his respec- table antecedents and fair character floating about him like the white garments of some believing saint awaiting the coming of the New Jerusalem, will contest the dieputed States of the South against Mr. Buchanan. Let the two Northern conventions we have indicaied coneentrate their forces upon some fresh and popular name, not connected with border ruf- fianism one way or the other, nor with the nigger drivers or nigger worshippers—some euch fresh and generally popular name, in a word, as will fuse into a solid mass the floating opposition materials of the North—aad we should not be surprised to see Mr. Buchanan reduced to the ordeal of the most severely contested, exciting and doubtful struggle of the last fifty years. When the hostile forces shall have taken their positions in the field, we shall be better enabled to judge of the issues of the battle. In the interval, it were absurd to suppose that an easy victory is secured for the Cincinnati nominee, before either the plans, the leaders, or the forces of the enemy are ascertained. A DistinGuisHeD AMERICAN GoING to Ev- rore.—Professor Morse, the inventor ot the magnetic telegraph, now in this country,leaves for Europe this day, in order to assist at some experiments which are being made across the water in submarine telegraphing. He is tobe four or five months absent. We remember very well Professor Morse’s first visit to Eu- rope some fifteen yearsago, when he laid his schemes before the governments of Europe ; and they, already bewildered by communica. tions from Steinheil, Ampere, Lenz and Wheat- stone, could make nothing of them, and regard- ed the American inventor as cither a prodi- gy or alunatic. But for the happy success which attended the establishment of the line between Washington and Baltimore, at the time the nominating convention was sitting. the great discovery might never have been fal- ly realized. Professor Morse will find great change Europe.

We have no doubt that Professor Morse will be well received by the scientific men of En- rope, and be shown the respect he deserves. The Samner Outrage Tarned to Account. It appears, from a letter published ia yes terday’s Tridune, that Col. Webb bas been dining with Mr. Aiken, of South Caroilns, in company with Mr. Brooks. The letter rans ag follo vs: Sin—The Warhington ¢orreeposdent of the Charleston Qvurier devire hat Mr. Crooks has expreaead bim quit «a- tistied witn the iste letter of Col, Webo, or that he bas pretermitted any right to call him to nn'ay Wil you permic me to correst this error’ ter was published, Gol.

It is barely necessary to any these tacts are in sompatible With @ possible conflict between them. I cannot eruceive whet motive can thus induce s letter writar to cireulate rumors criculated to slurm the family and frieads of Co) Webb. There is some impertinence in a public jour- na? thus referring to the subject of a private entertainment and exercising a censership over the dinner table of individuals; but ever since his introduction to Lord Clarendon, Colonel Webb has risen superior to considerations of this character, and cannot now consistently complain of the indelicacy of the Tribune. Assuming the truth of the statement con- tained in the letter, it sheds a vivid light on the moral character of the present race of politi cians, In tbe manifesto on the Brooks outrage lately published in his newspaper, Col. Webb insinuated more than openly declared that Mr. Brooks was a ruffian, and that the natural coa- sequence of African slavery was ty degrade tbe slaveowners more than the slaves, and to render the former unfit for ci- vilized society. It was, it seems, on the heel of this publication that its author dined with Mr. Brooks, and “overwhelmed him with attentions and respect.” This is a fair sample of the conduct of politicians of the present day; of the imposture they practise upon the eredulous community of thinking men, and of the unblushing impudence with which they can change their opinions to suit the locality in which they happen to be placed. Barnum, with his Feejee mermaids and woolly horses, and his memorable book, appears, it must be confessed, a very sorry rogue, @ poor pitiful impostor by the side of these political leaders. There canbe no question but all men of common sense, and Christian feeling and gen- tlemanly habits, both North and South, would entertain the same opinion of the attack on Sumner and characterise it in the same lan- guage, if they were independent of political feeling, and their natural sentiments could find natural utterance. It was gross viola- tion of law; of the rules of both houses of Congress; of the rules of conduct which gen- tlemen as well as stateemen are expected to obey; but if it was a physical outrage, was not the speech of Senator Sumner a moral out- rage, equally contrary to the character of a stateeman, of a patriot, of a gentleman and of @ good man? It is attempted to magnify it into a national question; but it is in fact nothing more than a persona! difficulty between two individual members of the federal legislative body, grow- ing out of the ungentlemanly, brutal and vul- gar tongue of the one, and the ungentlemanly, brutal and vulgar arm of the other. Before he began the exciting life ot a politician we have no doubt that the whole former life of Senator Sumner was that of a scholar, and a polished gentleman; and very likely the same was true of Mr. Brooks. These two unfortunate gentle- men have been precipitated into their present dilemma by the natural effects of the political teaching of the leading parties of the day, and ot such doctrines as those inculcated in the published manifesto of Colonel Webb. But the folly does not resthere. The people of the United States—the intelligent millions who inhabit this continent—are called upon to decide that this or that man shall be President because the tongue of Sumner was abusive and the arm of Brooks brutal. What in the world has a personal difficulty of this kind to do with the selection of a chief magistrate for twenty-five millions of men? What connection is there between this outrage—characterise it as you will—and the political future and destiny of a republic that is giving lessons to the civilized world, and which is, in fact, the great experiment whether free and intelligent men are or are not fit for self-government?

Travellers can make no mistake in going to them, for they will find in them first class accommodations at reasonable prices, which we can assure them is an exception, and not the rule, in the continental hotels. In a black list apart are set down the names of several establishments in Paris and Switzer- land which we recommend our tourist friends, if they value their personal comfort and equa- nimity, to steer clear of. All the London hotels may be placed in the same category. Bad are the best. How Dogs 11x Monty Go?--A great deal of money is being collected here and in the East and Weet for Kansas. The collectors call for “aid for Kansas,” and carry round with them a bundle of Times and 7ribune:, fall of blood and murder stories about Kansas doings. Let the benevolent beware: very little of the money obtained by these worthies will go to Kaneas. The bulk of it will be used in the election here, to favor the nigger worshipping candidate: the collectors will excuse them- selves to their own consciences by saying that his triumph will help Kansas, Those who do not wish, therefore, to further corruption in elec- tions here had better give nothing to the Kan sas collectors.

I: is probable a good deal of business will be transacted next week, if the ex citemeat upon the resolution to expel Mr. Brooks doas not interfere, Mr, Campbell, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, has gone home, and will not return for about ten days, and the report on the tariff will not be mace during his absence.

Mr. Taststro, on the complaint of Count Sartiges, was dismissed by Mr. Marcy. Mr. Tisistro has been some time connected with tne State Department as its principal transiater. It will be recol- lected that he sent his communicatione tothe French Minister in the official envelopes of the Department. Serlous Collision on the Central Railroad.

Jn consequence of the rain this evening, the large gathering in front of Independence Hall was obliged to go under onver; consequently two meetings wore orga nized in the large court rooms of the building, and these being unable to admit the great number present, a third meeting was held in the vestibule of the Hall. Ad. dresses were made by Benjamin Brewster, Judge Kelly, E. Jay Morris, Charles Gilpin, and 2 number of others. ‘A series of resolutions presented by ex-Mayor Conrad, were adopted by acclamation and with great marke of approval. The resolutions denounce the assault upon Mr. Sumner as revolutionary, and destructive of the freedom of speech. They aleo characterize it as an out- rage, evincing on the part of the assailant a most cow- ardly and brutal spirit. IN ALBANY. ALEasy, Jane 6, 1866. ‘A. rebash of the Sumner indignation abolision meetings held at the Tabernacle, in New York. Beecher’s church, Breoklyn, and at various places in New England, was served up in this city this evening. Governor Clark headed the call. Quite a number of our worthy citizens attended; a respectable list of officers of the meeting was proposed ‘and adopted. But aa the excitement has great- ty died away, and as the abelition prints elsewhere have ergrossed the subject and published the very patriotic speeches heretofore delivered, no great enthusiasm could be got up here, though « couple of the ceclaimers strove through an hour to raise a feeling among the people.

A meeting ot the joint committees of the Aldermen and Councilmen was calied for yesterday afternoon, at 3 o’elock, to perfect the necessary arrangementa for the reception of Millard Fillmore, There was a fail sttend- ance of the committees present. Councilman Von Riper took the chair; to preside. Alderman Sears asked how this wae, that a member 0 thef Councilmen committee officiated as chairman at a meeting cfa joint committee of the Aldermen and Courciumen ? Councilman Von Riper stated that he was elected ap Chairman of the two committees at their last meeting. Alderman Sreers said he had no objection to Mr. Vom Riper personally, but the appointment was made con- trary to general usage. He was not sresent at the meet- ing referred to, and was not notified of the meeting. Councilman Merrit thought it but falr that Council men committees rhould occarionally, at joint meetings, present @ chairman from their body. Alderman Briccs observed that though only Alderman present at the lest meeting, courtesy {t might bave been proper to have placed him in the chair. For himself he did not care for the posi- tion, but it looked one sided, and he was opposed to any- thing that looked like clique or faction movements. Councilman Munritr thought that as to courtesy {t would have been better for Alderman Briggs to have made the remarks he hed just made at the last meeting. Ho denied the imputation of cliqueism as relative himseY. He insisted, however, that the Councilman was just as respectable as the Alderman; and more than this, they could carry more votes, Councilman Von Riper (acting Chairman) ssid that with the Counctimen committee ‘‘ the thing was not set ’” as charged byron Steers, Akierman Steers denied having used such terma, but added that be felt compelled to say that the movements thus far looked very much like it. Alderman Fox saic it was desirable. and especially so, considering the purpose for which they were jointly Pointed, that no bad ‘eeling should arise among tnem- selves. Croes and cutting remarks were kept up some time longer, when Councilman Merritt, by an ingenious and ingenuous term in bis remarks, by speaking of the com- mon cause thev had at heart, sucseeced in reconciling” matters. He shook hands with Alderman Steers across the table, and got Councilman Von Riper to express his willingness to vacate the chair. So much time was, however, occupied in effecting this result, that as ihe Aldermen had to adjourn to attend a meeting of the Bosrd of Supervisors at 4 o'clock P. M., an adjournment of the whole body took place without emtering upon the business before them. It was announced that Mr. Fill- more was expected to arrive about the 22d of the present month, and the committee appointed at the last meeting upon a steamboat to receive the ex-President at Staten Island—upon music and firing salutes, and upon the selection of an hotel—were empowered to remain over, and aubmit their reports at the next meeting. in ence the plot Brooklyn City Intelligence.
