MEssRs. EDITORS 81 desire to call
your attention to the article in your issue
of the 18th inst. relative to the delegates
in the Cincinnati Convention from the
fourteenth electoral district of Virginia.
A disposition to do nothing which might
irritate the feelings of fellow democrats,
and thereby mar the effect of 1harmoni-
Gus corporation in the great cause in
whichsw are engaged, induces me to re-
frain from reviewing your article at length
and noticing its manifest unfairness, into
which you have, no doubt, been betrayed
by erroneous information. Ishall, there
fore, content myself with correcting a
gross error into which You have fallen in

You say: Fl - f.
I'VE are sorry that a proposition sub
mitted by Mr.. Seldom, that the gentle

the vote of the District, was not accepta-
bic to Mr.. jackson. T. p
This compromise not meeting tberiews
of Mr.. jackson was not effected" Il
The object of this seems to be, to
leave the impression that had it not been
for Mr.. Jackson the whole matter would
have been quietly settled by admitting all
four delegates to seats in the Convention.
This is altogether mistake. The Vir-
ginia Delegation had no shadow Of right

Our Candidate Stands upon the Platform

In Lancaster, June 9th. Mr.. Buch-
anan addressed the keystone lCluDln
these words:'.
/. Gentleman of the keystone Club
| give you most hearty and warm
welcome to my abode, lcongratulatc
you, not upon my nomination, but
upon the glorious privilege Of being
citizens of this great Republic. Your
superiority over the people Of other
countries has been fully demonstrated
by the conduct of the vast cohcours Sc
assembled during the past week at
Cincinnati. Upon any similar occa-
sion in Europe the voluntary expires
sion of the people would have been
drowned in martial music, and their
actions controlled by an army with
banners. How unlike the spectacle
at Cincinnati, where delegates from
the different States met in convention,
and under the protection of lie Con
stitntion and the laws tremendously
deliberated upon Il subject Of vital
Importance to the country.
Gentlemen, two weeks since, |
should have made You longer speech,
but now that I~1lave been placed upon
a platform OF WHICH | MOST HEARTILY
APPROVE, and being the reprssentq-
tce Of the great Democratic party:
and not simply James Bnchanan, z
mast square my conduct .acc6rdt1,g
to that platform and insert no ner
plank, nor take one ,trom'H. I That
PLATFORM Is sufficiently broal a''d
national for tie achole Democratic
party. THIS glorious party, NOR
more than erer, has demonstrated
that At IS the true conservative party
Of the Constellation and the Union.

idency. No man of his years .occu-
pies at this moment a prouder and
more enviable position before the coun-
try than Mr.. Breckenridge. On his
entrance in Congress, a few years ago,
as the successor of the Immortal Clay
in representing the Ashland district,
he>was subjected from that circum-
stance to sharp scrutiny, which re-
suited, greatly to his honor, in the
general CONVICTION of his worthiness
to occupy the post which had long
been adorned by that great man. :
Mr.. Breckenridge'se ulogy on the char.
acter of Mr.. Clay was as able and ef-
fective an address as ever delivered
on the floor of Con ress, and was
universally admired as one Of the
most appropriate tributes ever paid
to departed greatness.
Though young lin years--he is now
about thirty -fve-he has already de.
seryedly won many honors and dis
tinctions, and many more, we trust,
are still in store for him. He is the
son of Cabell Breckenridge, a distin,
guished lawyer, and the nephew Of
the celebrated pulpit orators, John
and Robert j. Breckenridge. When
quite young he was elected to the Ken,
lucky Legislature, and during ou1
contest with Mexico he accompanied
the celebrated Kentucky regiment, in
the rank of major, to the seat Of war,
and bore himself through that strug-

universally esteemed for his manly
bearing, his statesman-like abilities,
and great oratorical powers.

IbolitIenists rs. Buchanan.

The best evidence Of the soundness Of
Mr.. Buchanan on the slavery question is
the abuse the Niger WorsbiPers" are
heaping on him. The Abolition papers
Of theNorth are bitter in their opposition
to Mr.. Buchanan. He is far too conserva-
tive and takes grounds too national to
Stssive the support Of the fanatical horde
Of Frecsoilers who curse the North with
their presenc &c. While the Know No,
things Of the South have commenced
their classifying and abnse Of the nominee
Of the Democracy, charging him with
holding views in favor Of the Abolition
party, their brethren North Of Mason and
Dixon's line are crying out must Justify
against his slavery principles! 1t is
truly amusing to notice the efforts Of the
Northern and Southern wings of the
Know Nothing party to defeat "old
,Buc!," For tho purpose Of showing the
estimation in which Mr.. Buchanan is held
by the Black Republicans, we subjoin
the following extract from the Pittsburg
Gazette: y
But the battle will be, fought on the
great question of the day, on the is
sue between Freedom and Slavery
On this issue, Buchanan is just as OBJ
jectionablc Is Pierce or Douglas
lie has never resisted the demands Of
the Slave power. His whole life has
cxemplifed him as the Prince Of
Doughfaces. lie is placed on plat
form which endorsed Pierce and
Douglas to the fullest extent. lie
will therefore be held justly accounta
bic for the sins of the administration,
and the Democratic party which has
sustained tn murderer Herbert, the
rufian Brooks, and all the long list
Of crimes and outrages in Kansas. =
Here is where the battle must be
fought. Buchanan represents the is
sue Of slarertextension,- slavery dom
nancy in this4epublic, and on that
issue he WIN be opposed by every
true patriot and lover of freedom IN
the Free States. ...... - !

to tile 10th section Of the act passed
April 22d, 1852, providing for the

that every such officer shall take the
