Under this significant heading the Demo
cratic Convention of Lancaster county have is
sued an address, setting forth the grievances
under which the iavorite son Of Pennsylvania
has suffered, and the claims which he sets up
to the favor Of the Democratic party. This
manifesto commences with expressing the Gin
eXpressbe qualification" Of the convention in
being able to greet their friends throughout
Pennsylvania and the whole Union with the
cheerful ,idings that the "homs Of JAMES BU-
cnAsAs" has redeemed its pledge of brilliant
victory in his behalf, and given him at the
Delegate Elections the larges, majority "ever
placed under similar circumstances upon the
records Of a political contest" 1t then proceeds
to deplore the unnatural war" that has been
waged against their favorte by few "unscru-
pulous and unprincipled" enemies in his own
party, who are charged with having resorted to
the use of the most opprobrious language and
the most infamous calumny in his denuncation.
This portion Of the address is levelled at
Mr.. REAH FRAZER and Mr.. SIMON CAMERON,
who are said to have "hated and despised"
each other (before they were united by com
mon hatred to Mr.. BUcHArAS) with ''cordi-
Atty which would make them enved pupils
in an academy Of demons" To illustrate the
ancient hostility Of these worthless in the most
piquant and pointed way, the address says:
No appellation was too vile in its signifca-
ton for one Of them to bestuw upon the other;
and, to believe his own asseverations. IL there
was one cavern in the regions Of darkness
blacker than another, he would have consipn-
ed him TO an eternal asylum within its
vaults" This phrasing is worthy of the
poets parson-who "never mentions hell to
cars polite" We do not believe that any
such circumlocution ever occurred to Mr.. Ca
NEgoN or Mr.. FRAzER.
In spite, however, Of the Efforts of the hostile
districts in Lancaster county, forfy-one have
elected delegates friendly TO Mr.. BUCHANAN
Five thousand votes were poled, Of which Mr.
BUcHAsAS received can immense and over
whelminq" majority. The votes polled ap.
preached within thousand the largest number
ever thrown in that county for Governor of the
State or President ofihe United States. The city
OF Lancaster alone polled ,lSI votes, Of which
Mr.. BUcH.SAS received majority Of seven
hundred and sixty seven. Thus, in the judg-
ment Of the Lancaster County Convention. the
"home Of Mr. BUcHAN,N." with the counties
Of York and Cumberland and the city and county
Of Philadelphia, have terminated the contest for
the State with good harbingers Of Democratic
success in the Presidential struggle, and have
ensured Mr.. BUCHANAN the votes of one hun
dred and ten Of the one hundred and thirty
three delegates TO the State Convention to be
held at Harrisburg on the 4th Of March next.
"The Hon. JAMES BUcHsNlS," says the
Lancaster county manifesto, "rnay now, there
fore, be considered the candidate of Pennsyl-
wanna for the Presidency Of the United States.
So certain as he lives he will be presented as
such to the National Convention to be held
= at Baltimore on the lst of June next with an
unsoimity Of feeling in his favor which must
convince every rational man in the country
