inst, for the purpose of selecting candidates
for the two highest Executive offices of 'he
United States. We are gratified IN having
i, in our power to inform you that the con-
ventiou, with great unanimity, agreed to pre-
sent your name TO the country for the Office
Of President. and requested us to communi-
cate to YOU this nomination, and solicit your
acceptance In performing this duty, which
we do with great pleasure, it is proper that
the resolutions adopted by the Convention
and containing the principles upon which
they believe the government ought to be adj
minstered, should be laid before you. These
constitute a platform broad enough for all
true democrats to stand upon, and narrow
enough to exclude all those who may be op-
posed 10 the great principles of the Demo-
cratic party That these principles willm
with vour cordial assent and support, and be
illustrated in your administration, if called to
this high office by your country, we do not
for moment doubt; but feel assured, that
while you evercis, forbearance with tirmness

THE STEAMSHIP NIAGARA AND THE STEAM
has been awakened in the result Of the sail
ing of these two vessels, we give from the
Boston and New York papers the facts III re-
gard to il. The Journal of Commerce says ::
s:The New British steamer Niagara, which
lef, Liverpool on the Goth ult., and arrived at
Boston ON the morning of the 2d inst, must
have made about the same rate of speed as
the American Steamer United States, which
left Liverpool OH the 18th ult. and arrived AT
this port on the morning Of the 3lst. The
latter steamer had at least a days greater
distance TO run, but the former lost part OF a
day by putting into Halifax"
The Boston Traveller, regretting the bets
made in England upon the passage, says
"Thc United States had three days the
start of the Niagara, but one day was allowed
her for the difference in distance, so that it
was only necessary for the United States, to
reach New York 4s hours before the Niagara
reached Boston, to have proved her equality
/ with the British steamer. AS near as we
can calculate it, the United States, taking the
most favorable New York accounts of her ar
rival oil Sandy Hook, made the passage IN
10 DAYS and hours The Niagara in y
davs and 10 hours, without deducting her
two hours stop at Halifax. The unusually
boisterous passage of the Niagara should also
be taken into consideration. She had but
one day of moderate weather during the
whole voyage, in which she made 3ol miles
In gale on the Goth ult., at A. NJ, she
shipped heavy sea which stove in her bull
warks, aud washed men overheard, ? OF
whom were drowned, Three others were
considerably injured, one having his leg bro
ken. The ship behaved handsomely duling
the passage, and exceeded the expectations
of all her officers. With fair weather she
can probably accomplish the voyage in ten
days. The Niagara was welcomed on he'
arrival by a salute of artillery
