"JOHN A. MARSHALL,
Chairman"
From the New York papers we also learn
the news of Mr.. Buchanan's nomination was
received by the Democrats of Brooklyn with
the greatest demonstrations OF enthusiasm.
| From Connecticut, we have the same enthu-
siastic response. The Hartford Daily Times of
Friday evening says;
"This result was received by US at half past
IL o'clock to day, and was placed Immediately
upon our bulletin. The announcement was
received with the greatest interest, and sent a
thrill Of Joy through the masses of the people,
while every democrat especially seemed over
] joyed at the glad news. The black republicans
and Know-nothings read the announcement in
silence, and turned away from it with the looks
of sorry men, for they generally admit that
Buchanan is destined to be the next President
Of the United States.
"a national salute Of 81 guns was fired at 2
o'clock by the Hartford democracy in honor Of
| the news.
"Our flagstaff already bears the name of
Buchanan, floating to the breeze over the ma
tional ensign, on pennant yards long, and
in letters two feet in lengthl'
