than that of the Democrats.
NOT SATISFIED.
Notwithstanding the jubilation of the
opposition at the harmony Of the party,
and the general satisfaction with which
the nominations of Pierce and King were
received, it seems that all parties are not
suited exactly. The friends of Mr.. Bu-
chanan, while they accept the nomina-
tions, and praise s>em family, complain
bitterly that the favorite of Pennsylvania
should not only have been passed by, but
that insults should have been Literally Of
ferrcd to him and his friends, by the peo-
pie of Baltimore, or the occupants of the
galleries, who took occasion to hiss at ev-
cry manifestation made for Mr.. Buchan-
an. They say that the Democratic States
were all in favor of Mr.. Buchanan, but
that he was defeated by delegates from
Wing States. There is some ground for
this charge, and it may possibly exert
some influence on the result. The Bu-
chanan journals are evidently in bad spir-
its, and promise to support the nominees
i'll way which shows how little interest
they feel in the contest. The Lancaster
Intelligencer complains bitterly of the
conduct of some of the Democrats of
Pennsylvania, and says the nomination
will throw damper upon Mr.. Buchan-
ans friends, which it will require time to
remove. 1t tries to console itself with
the fact that elf the Democratic States
alone had made the nomination, he would
have been the nominee beyond question" :"
1" The delegates it says, "who adhered
10 him so faithfully, were all from Demo-
cratic States, casting a majority of the
Democratic vote of the Union, going to
show most conclusively that he was the
choice of the party in majority of the
States that can be relied upon TO elect a
President. But they were overruled and
borne down by the delegates from States
who never have carried, and perhaps nev-
cr will be able to carry a solitary elector-
al vote for any Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. 1t may be all right and
proper that Democratic delegates from
Wing States should be admitted to seats
in our National Conventions, but modesty
alone, to say nothing of justice and sound
policy, should induce them to square their
preferences so as to correspond with
those of the States that have to elect q
President, if Democratic President is
to succeed at ALL"
The Harrisburgh Union, too, appears
TO be in very deep distress. 1t can't find
terms bad enoug h to suit the conduct of
the Cass men Of Pennsylvania. In its
agony it can only find relief by the use of
such terms as desperadoes, " cracked
Drained politicians" miserable crea-
tures," low," "base," contemplate"
" blood-hounds - it affirms that they
were not only despised by the friends Of
Mr.. Buchanan, but the true, warm-heart-
ed, whole-souled friends of Gen. Cass, in
New York, Michigan, Massachusetts,
Kentucky, and other States, shrank back
from them as from leper, and then goes
on to speak Of and rejoice over the con-
temptuous treatment they received from
the Virginia and Alabama delegations,
which, it declares, despised and spurned
the miserable creatures that came to de-
fame him but he failed to obtain the
nomination, which he would have re-
ceived "if it had not been for the blood
hounds that were constantly in his track"
1t was left to Pennsylvania to have I" men
claiming to be of the same political faith,
who crowded the bar-rooms of sister
city to thwart the expressed will of the
State" and to "defame and vilify Penn
sylvania's favorite son.
Other newspapers indulge in similar
remarks, and betray deep chagrin and
disappointment at the defeat of Buchanan.
The enthusiasm does not appear to be
very strong in Pennsylvania, notwith-
standing the demonstration at Philadel-
phia. The extreme disgust now felt by
the friends of Mr.. Buchanan may be
overcome before the canvass is over; but
it is doubtful whether they will go into
the fight with any spirit, unless they
have some such prospects ahead as made
them such devoted friends of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. There whole stock in trade was
invested in him, and his failure has made
them bankrupt. Their conduct, we sup
pose, will depend very much on arrange
mcnts "not intended for the public
eye;" but this conduct will be of very
little importance, if the Scott standard is
raised in the old Keystone.-Cin. Gaz.
