are contendng that for the Cincinnati convention to
nominate a man, who had no personal participation
in the Nebraska struggle, the Democratic party would
be Sinking the true issue before the country and sur
render the rights Of the South in the search after
availability. We have already alluded to an article
in the FSederietsJurg Recordsr, which takes the
ground mentioned. We now find that the Valley
liarisonburs) Democrat has come to the aid Of the
Recorder, and declares the same sentiments In the
event Of the nomination Of Old Buck or some other
man, who had personal agency in the passage of
the Nebraska bill, desire our readers TO remember

fleet upon it, and to treasure it up.
