LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, J UNE o, 1856.

AMERICA.

LI WERPOOL, THURSDAY.
The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Capt.
James Comstock, arrived in the river last night,
from Now York, bringing. 203 passengers, and
162,047 dols. 63c. in specie ; and by her we have
received our ad vices from New York to the 7th
instant, being four days later than to hand by the
Canada.
She reports the arrival of the Niagara hence
at Boston, and the Washington, from Bremen and
Southampton, at New York ; also having passed
the Atlantic, of the same line, on the 15th inst., at
noon, iu lat. 49.16 N., lon. 26.31 W., hence to New
York.

Amongst her passengers were Professor Morse
(inventor of the magnetic telegraph) and Col. Colt.
The New York journals are filled with the pro-
ceedings of the Cincinnati Democratic State Con-
vention. That body, on the 6th, nominated the
Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, President
of the States, by a unanimous vote, after 16 ballot-
ings. His opponents were the present President
(Pierce), Douglas, and Cass.
The following is the result of the balloting :

When the seventeenth ballot was taken, the
Convention rose to the highest state of excitement
as state after state gave a plumper for the nominee.
The vote was then announced as 296 for Buchanan,
upon which the cheering was immense. Three
tremendous cheers were then given for Buchanan,
three equally enthusiastic ones for Douglas, and
three " moderate" ones for Pierce.
The Convention then proceeded to nominate a
Vice-President, and the vote was announced as
unanimous for Breckenridge, he having received
296 votes. The announcement was received with
immense applause.
Mr. Breckenridge being loudly called for, took
the stand amidst deafening cheers, and made an
appropriate speech.
Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, being called for,
said :
The last two years have witnessed the dissolution of
the Whig party and the uprising of a deluge of fanatical
factions which threatened to overwhelm the equal rights
of the states, the constitution of the country, and the
prosperity of the people. lAm one of those 2,000 or
3,000 old Whigs who, disclaiming the shallow heresies
and persecution tenets of the miscalled American party,
scorn all duplicity, abjure all compromise, and rather
choose to stand in honourable alliance with our former
opponents in defiance of that constitution which
makes us one people, than to take the senseless and
absurd oaths of the wretched Know-nothing order.
During this time the democrats have proved them-
selves equal to their ancient reputation ; but it is
now our enviable fortune to aid in the battle and
share in the glory of victory. Not the acqui-
sition of Louisiana, with her fertile plains—not the
annexation of Texas, which extended the empire still
further southwards—not the planting of our standard
upon the turrets of Mexico or the struggles that won
the golden shores of California, will equal in moment or
importance that great contest upon which we now enter
for the preservation of our internal tranquillity, the
maintenance of our laws, the restoration of concord, and
the perpetuation of the grand political system bequeathed
to us by our revolutionary fathers. For the defence
of these principles the democratic party stand in battle
array against all adversaries, defiant in their patriotism,
energetic in their virtue and conscious purity of their
motives, that they wili maintain them with impregnable
strength against the assaults of every adversary of re-
publicanism. In that battle not less than two hundred
thousand earnest and most devoted adherents to the old
Whig party will be found standing shoulder to shoulder
with them, animated by no hope bat for the public wel-
fare, forgetful of the past, and determined by a bold and
feariess alliance to win the victory in the approaching
presidential contest.
The New York Courier and Enquirer does not
look favourably upon the choice of the convention.
It pays :
Mr. Buchanan, in our judgment, is destined to be
beaten. His amiable personal qualities will go but a
very short way towards reconciling the American people
to the principles and policy with which he is identified.
The coming contest involves too serious political issues
to be influenced, to any important extent, by mere per-
sonal considerations. The vital interests of the country
are at stake. We regard it as certain as any future
event can be, that the continuation of such a domestic
policy as that which has been inaugurated under Presi.
dent Pierce would ultimately produce civil war ; and
that the carrying out of the doctrines and sentiments of
the Ostend Report and of the Cincinnati resolutions
would plunge us into war with the principal powers of
Europe. The great mass of the intelligent voters of the
North, we have no doubt, will entertain the same con-
viction. It is trusted that Mr. Buchanan will get the
vote of every Southern State. The selection of Mr.
Breckenridge, as the candidate for the vice-presidency,
was made expressly to secure the vote of Kentucky,
which was regarded as the most doubtful of the slave-
holding States. It was an adroit expedient, and perhaps
may effect its purpose so far as that particular State is
concerned ; but it will be of no avail. Mr. Buchanan is
to-day a weak candidate with the majority of the Ame-
rican people, and as he becomes better under.stood will
rapidly grow weaker.
The following brief sketch of Mr. Buchanan's
life appears in the New York journals :
Mr. Buchanan was born in Franklin, county Pennsyl-
vania, on the 19th of April, 1791. He was elected .te
the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1814 and 1815. In 1830
be was sent to congress, where he continued for ten
years. In 1831 he was sent as a Minister to Russia by
General Jackson. He returned home in 1834, and was
immediately elected to the United States Senate, where
he remained until 1842. Afterwards he was appointed
Secretary of State by President Polk, which be held for
four years ; and soon after the accession of Hr. Pierce
to the presidency, he was sent as Minister to England,
from whence he returned a few weeks ago.
The following telegraphic despatches appear in
the papers of the 7th inst.:—
BELFAST, ME., June 6, 6 p.m.—The nomination of
Mr. Buchanan by the democracy was received here
with great enthusiasm. A large crowd with a bead of
music assembled on the common, and fired a salute.
CONCORD, N.H., June 6. —The democrats of this city
cordially responded to the nomination of Mr. Buchanan,
and 100 guns are now being fired in his honour.
BOSTON, June 6.—The announcement of Mr. Be-
ehanan's nomination caused some sensation in this city.
It is said 100 guns will be fired to-morrow in honour of
the event.
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., June 6.—The nomination of Mr.
Buchanan was received by the democrats here with
great enthusiasm. 100 guns were fired this afternoon in
honour of the event.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.—The office of the Pennsyl-
vanian is illuminated to night in honour of the nomina-
tion of Buchanan. A. number of speakers are addressing
a crowd in front of the building, bat, although there is
general good feeling, the demonstration is not very enthu-
siastic—the hurrah boys being all at Cincinnati.
The .New York Journal of Commerce says :
The appointment is well received by the public gene-
rally. Mr. Buchanan's election will be considered a gua-
rantee for domestic quiet on the ba,is of the Constitution,
and for friendly relations with foreign powers. We think
we can promise him a liberal support from the commercial
community of this city.
The papers contain scarcely anything additional
on the subject of Mr. Crampton's dismissal, or the
state of the relations between England and Ame-
rica.

15 .

The Washington correspondence of the New York
Courier and Enquirer says :—" The ground swell of
the Crampton case continues to agitate the bosoms
of the timid, but the public mind will r( fuse to be
excited by anything connected with that event,
until after the arrival of the steamer which will
bring intelligence of the reception of the proceeding
in England."
In the Know-nothing National Council an ani-
mated and prolonged debate occurred as to the pro-
priety of abolishing secrecy in their meetings, which
was ultimately decided in the affirmative by a large
majority.
The New York Times publishes a memorial from
the people of Kansas to the President of the United
States. The document is now at Washington, in
the possession of the Executive. It is signed by
men of the highest standing and integrity, who
vouch for the truth of their statements as facts
within their personal knowledge:
From letters of correspondents we learn that the
Free-state men and their families who fled from
Lawrence when the attack was made have re-
turned ; nearly all have suffered more or less by
the plunder of the mob. The aggregate amount of
losses sustained has been estimated at over 130,000
dols., and when the various claims have been cel-
-1 lected they will be sent to Congress, with a votition

for an appropriation to recompense those who have
suffered. Governor Shannon has stationed four
companies of United States Dragoons at Lawrence,
as he says, to protect the town. In despite of their
misfortunes, the Free-state men are not discou-
raged, but are preparing for future action. The
correspondents state that a thorough organisation
of the Free state party is nearly completed, and
with aid, in men and means, now pouring in from
the North, success is considered certain.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, speaking at a
convention held at Worcester, said—
This assault on Sumner is by the slave power of this
country the same which is striking down the sons and
daughters of New England on the plains of Kansas.
The slave power defends it. Congress has sent a com-
mission into the territory of Kansas, in hopes that order
might prevail. That commission has been insulted,
Lawrence has been assailed, buildings burned, and civil
war prevails there ; it is because the slave power de-
mands it. This power wields the government of this
country. Pierce wanted to present himself as candidate
again for the Pre, idency, and he was willing to do it with
the blood of Kansas upon his hands. Pierce goes into
the National Convention with his hands bathed in inno
cent blood. He cannot be nominated. The slave power
has no gratitude for past favours, and it is ready to throw
him away as a worthless thing. There is no man in this
Union wbo will do the work of the alaveholder more
faithfully, or will bow lower to the slave power than
James Buchanan. A platform will be erected for him
which he will be compelled to mount and go to any ex-
tent this power may demand. What are we to do in
this emergency ? If the people of the free states can
forget their divisions, their little interests, and take
each other 1 y the hand, and unite their efforts, we
san place a man in the presidential chair true to
linervy. The people of Naesachu4tts tcrAky,_are fpr,
freedom, all their convictions upon this queAtiori area
right, yet they are divided into a variety of political
organi,ations. Shall we bury the dead past ? Shall we,
if we have made a—mistake4..forget it, and consent to
unite against the slave power ? If you can, this state
will give 125,000 votes for a man who will protect
Kansas and be true to liberty. Let the people unite,
elect a president true to freedom, and thus rescue the
Federal government, and save Kansas. We can do
more. We can go to Kansas and aid in planting free
institutions there, and tuose of u who cannot go can
give their wealth to sustain the friends of freedom now
being crushed and driven from that territory. We can
certainly conquer the democracy, and in conquering
them we conquer the slave power. The cause in whin
we are engaged is one of transcendent importance, not
only to us, but to our posterity • it concerns not merely
the tcihng slave but the millions of freemen, both
North and South. The South does not contend for
slavery merely over those Rho are dark-skinned ; they
will make slaves of white men as readily as of black men
if they can • the South and the democratic party have
not a particle of love for the Union nor for liberty ; if
either be saved it must be by our union to defeat the
pro•slavery part of the country, and re-establish free-
dom in all this glorious land.

101 feet. She was designed by Sir Baldwin Walker,
Surveyor of the Navy, and built by Samuel Reed, Esq.,
master shipwright of this yard, assisted by Mr. Nether-
wood,"foreman shipwright; and will carry 20 68-pounders
and one long pivot gun, which she will fight on the
upper deck. Part of her machinery is now in, by con-
tract of the eminent firm of John Penn and Co., of
Greenwich. The interesting ceremony of christening
was performed by Miss Tucker, daughter of Captain
John Jervis Tucker, superintendent of this yard. After
launching, the Scylla was hanied into the basin, to fit out,
&c. The whole of the dockyard artisans have as usual
been granted a half-holiday.
We hear that the Clio, whose timbers are all cut out,
will he laid down, but that she will have one deck
more than first arranged. The Scylla is a sister ship to
the Pylades, and is of equally fine model and proportions.

AN AMERICAN TALE.--A very curious tustance of
confusion occurred the other day in a family in Al-
bany. A mother and a daughter were both confined on
the same day each having a little son. In the bustle
of the moment both infante were placed in a cradle
together, and to the confusion of the mothers, when
the youngsters were taken from the cradle, they
were unable to tell which was the mother's and which
the (laughter's son—a matter which of course must
ever remain a mystery. The family is in great dia.
tre,s over the affair.

Despite the pelting rain which fell during the morn-

A larger concourse of people was, perhaps, never assem-
