MIR, BUcHANANs ACCEPTANCE.

We lay before our readers this morning
from the Daily Pennsylvania of Thursday
the letter os James Buchanan in reply to
the notification of his nomination made to
him by the Committee appointed for that
purpose. We invite attention and scrutiny
TO every word and letter of this most import
ant public document. Patriotism, and sin
cere devotion to the principles of the Ma
tional Democracy, breathe in every line,
ard no man who loves his country and de-
sires her prosperity and greatness, can rise
from its perusal without hearty endorse
ment of its noble sentiments, and hope
that the writer of such document will live
long to preside over q harmonious Union,
restored under his administration to peace
and honor and good rcpute abroad.
