.ur. Buchanan Informed Of HIS .gominq-
fion.-The Committee Of the National Convto-
ton, consisting ofGpn. Ward, Of Georgia, Gov.
Brown, OF Mississippi, NJ. FJrsythe, OF Missou-
RI, Mr. Preston, OF kentucky, Mr. Hibhafd, of
New Hampshire, Mr.. Manning, of south Caro-
lima, and Gov. Lawrence, of Rhode Island, ac-
ComPanird by number OF personal frrnds of
Mr.. Buchanan, visited Whratland on Friday TO
inform Mr.. Buchanan Of his nomination. In
the discharge of the duty Gen. Ward presented
Mr.. B. letter informing him of his nomina
ton, accompanied with few appropriate re-
'i'N'''' "'AN' NFtV - pilFu " III q HHHHS man
ner by Mr.. Buchanan, who informed the Com
mlttrr that more foil reply would be given
them IN writing. The company, consisting Of
about fifteen persons, then sat down TO sump-
tuous dinner prepared for the occasion.
.NIsSonri Erect. The 81. Louis Democrat
the organ Of the Benton Democrats, ensts
heartily IN support of Buchanan and Breckin-
ridge, This IS right, and Democratic It is the
duty OF every man, who calls himself Dego-
crat, 10 abide by the decision of the National
Convention and support It's nominees. and we
are glad to see that the Benton Democrats of
Missouri, spite ofall alleged causes Of complaint,
intend to support the ticket with hearty enthu-
siasm.
TnE BEooKs AND Sruxrn TaorBLr.-The
Select committee the United States Senate to
whom was referred the investigation Of the
outrage committed by Mr. Brooks upon senator
summer, have made report, which was adopt
I'd by the Senate, with only one dissenting
The report represents that the assault upon Mr.
Sumner was violation Of the Spnate's privIi-
g~S, YET that the Senate has no Jurisdictions bat
the House, of which Mr.. Brooks is a member,
To punish him. The Senate viii make com
plant to the House and leave ths redress TO that
body. We have no doubt that ifthp House
was lett to IFS own unbiased judgment upon
this matter, that il would properly express its
condemnation OF the unwafrantahl' assault up-
on Mr. Snmnpr. Bet the phrrnzy ol party will
not allow this
Sectional anmosity must bp aroused to
pitch OF madness by the inturiaed comments Of
fanatics One howls, the other curses, until
public decency and order are a thousand times
more outraged by this coar<-nrss than by tbe
brutal attack upon Sumner. Such violence,
such lntemprTance ard malicious rage drgradrs
lis authors and defeats the ends of justice.
