"RUPTURE WITH AMERICA.

"Private messages by Telegraph state
that the American Minister in London has
demanded his passport, or an equivalent to
it, from our Government.
"Nows so astounding nigh, to received
with incredulity, but we can on y say that
buyers OF cotton are acting on the report,
and there is sensation on change"
We have to thank his Excellency, Mr..
Buchanan, for his courtesy in tclsgraphing

that gentleman as to the truth of the ru-

American Minister has dem1nd1d his pass

Our agent, not feeling at liberty to make
use OF this iAformation, give it no publicity

From The Liverpool Times, Nor 3D..
Yesterday, rumor prevailed here and
in London that the American Minister at
the court of st. James's had either been
recalled or would leave for the United
States by the packet which sails to day
We happen to know, through a private
source, that MIR. Bunchanan had an inter-
view with Lord Clarendon on Tuesday
last, in the course of which his lJrd,hip
assured the American Minister that the
British Government were informed, on uls
questionable authority, that ships were
being built and fitted out in the United
States for the express purpose Of making
descent on Cuba, on III, l'rtish West
Indies, and on other paris of the British
possessions But the interview between
the English Foreign Minister and the
American Ambassador was so friendly, that
the last named parsonage was 20 have dined
with Lord Clarendon ye,terday- Friday.
Since this friendly interview, however,
took place, an article has appeared in the
London Times, which Mr.. Buchanan may
think is calculated to compromise him in
the eyes Of his own government and the
American public, and he may have RESENT
ed the information which it contains as
breach Of confidence.
The articles to which We refer must have
been inspired by some member Of the
Government, possible by some member Of
the Cabinet, and, therefore, without at all
endorsing the rumour to which we have
referred, we can readily conceive MIR. Buc-

LoSGEvITY.-There were fourd in tho
United States in 1850, 5,555 persons over
100 years OF age. This shows that about
one person in 5000 will be likely to
live TO that age. The French census of
1851 shows only lO2 persons over 100
years old, though their population was
larger, by more than one third, than the
population Of this country. Old age, is,
therefore, attained among US much more

9tar Of the NORTH.
Bloomsbury, Thursday, Sept. 9, 1855
Qnpdidate for Assembly.

The action OF the Convention last Monday
endorsed the nomination of JOHN G. MONT
GOMERY, ESQ.,, of Montour County, and he
10 before the electors of the district as the
regular Democratic candidate aud as such
entitled TO an undivided party support.
The candidate, this year, being conceded
TO Montour, the choice of lha, County should
be agreed 10, unless strong reasons exist a.
gainst il, of which the convention and the
conferees selected by il. are the competent
and proper judges. After their approval OF
the candidate named, his support becomes
the clear duty of every member OF tie party.
There are those who would have prefer.
red different selection and 10 such few
words may be timely; for it is expedent
that all should be satisfied that the converi-
tion proceeded upon clear and solid grounds
OF action.
1. The nominee is man OF undoubled a.
biliiy and character; circumstances greatly 10
be regarded, especially in view OF the deec
tive material of which the Legislature has
been composed for some years. The attempt
is now being made throughout the State TO
select substantial men as candidates, and 1t
is right ,ha, this dislric, unite in so good and
necessary work.
2. The nominee is thoroughly with the
party in its battle " iih intolerance and pro-
scri,tion, and in its stern defence of consti-
,utional principles against the assaults OF IA
naticism, ambition and interest The here
sizes which bewilder the weak, and seduce
into desperate courses those who are unprin-
cipled, will have in him an able and deter
mined enemy.
3. The importance OF Democratic major
ity in the next Legislature is evident, and
hence Cancellation and firm union OF both
counties upon candidate is highly expedi-
ent and necessary. Subjects of legislation
of erea, inleres, are TO be considered at the
next session, in which fundamental princi-
pies are involved, and Senator TO represent
this State in The Congress OF the United
States is TO be elected.
4. Local difficulties, which have hereto.
fore existed, are not involved in this election
No question between this county and Mon
tour is pending or is likely 10 arise; and even
il this were not so, there is ample security in
the fact that this county will still have rep
resentalive in the Senate. Besides. we be-
lieve the nominee himself is sincerely OPP
posed 10 any species of renewed agitation.
Upon the grounds we have mentioned, and
others that could be stated, we trust that Mr..
Nj. will receive general, generous and uni
ted support from The democracy of this coun-
ty.
