the comments of the Daily journals Of That city
on the Cincinnati nominations aud makes the
following remarks:
OF these eleven dailles there are bat three Of an
inferior grade or Indifferent circulation that fully en-
dorse the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan while in ls52
the nomination of Franklin Pierce responded to
by The whole Of our metropolitan journals, with Two
or three exceptions, Why this chilling contrast be-
tween ls52 and 1882 What has produced it How
are we % account for IL What does il portendf Is
It not very remarkable that man so obscure a.
Franklin Pierce was in SO should have been halcd
with such enthusiasm while in a8 the selection by
the democracy of Que of their best known, most es
perienced and respectable statesmen should be re-
ceyed here with such extraordinary evidences OF cold
ness and dstrust2
The solution Of this mystery Is very simple, In
1859 public opinion looked with hope and confidence
10 the democratic party break-water against the
sedous schemes Of the anti-savery aeiaiors az the
North. On the contrary In 1856 the democratic par
~ debauched and demoralized by the criminal fol-
lies, blunders and imhechties Of this Pierce admins
rtion has lost the confidence Of the majority Of
thinking and independent men This accounts for
the comparative GOODNESS and distrus with which the
nomination Of Mr., Buchanan has been reccife1hy the
newspaper press Of this metropolis
The NASHVILLE GAZETTE has fallen on a
scheme for testing the sincerity of the declara-
tion 50 frequently meet with in Democratic

South. II makes tho following offers to the OPP

questionable right 20 carry their slaves into these
