We clip the following spicy communica-
ton from the Cincinnati Commercial. We
think the idea is preposterous, that an old
withered up bachelor like Buchanan should
ever preside over the destinies of the
American people, and we know the ladies,
at least, all "single blessedness," will op-
pose any such outrage. A man without
babies President! Just think oft!
" "A Shot Mt the Nominee. B
. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 6, 1856.
EDITOR CIN., CoMMERcrAL:-Sir, Hon.
James Buchanan, anciently a Federalist,
lately Democrat, and always bachelor,
was this morning nominated by the Nation
al Democratic Convention for the Office Of
President of these United States of Ameri-
ca. 1t is not my purpose here to discuss
the question Of his election, but certain it is
that his nomination before the triumph Of
the Woman's Rights party, is favorable TO
lhis success. We all know that the ladies
Heaven bless them, take as naturally to
doll-babies and matrimony, as ducks to
mud and water; and if they (the ladies, not
the ducks) could on ly vote, how the ma jori-
ties would roll up against the hard hearted
old bachelor from Pennsylvania! Person
ally am opposed to his election. Itought
to be unconstitutional for bachelor to be
President, and unless the Hon, James Buch-
anan agrees to marry I'll vote against him!
Why, Mr.. Editor, Just think of it-a single
man to occupy the white House alone!--
The idea is preposterous. 1t ought not to
be entertained; and for and in behalf of
woman, do I pronounce it nomination not
fit to be made. Far be it from me to call
in question the soundness of Mr.. BIS polit-
ical views, but before / can consistently give
my vote to any man, it is necessary for me
to know that he is all right on the wOman
Question. Estate most emphatically, make
the issue most distinctly, that this old bach
elor is not right on this question; and, un-
less oyerestimate the virtue, intelligence
and patriotism Of our people, he will be per-
mitted to occupy single. bedstead some
where outside the White House, but never,
no, never, within it. If the issues of this
election are properly stated, if f'thls single
gentleman from Pennsylvania is held up (by
the coat collar or otherwise) as the old
bachelors candidate, no such one-horse
nomination can ever succeed. To defeat
Mr.. B. I'll stump the whole country. I'll
take pretty woman, (ny wife) along with
me. She will occupy a stump contiguous
to the one on which l shall stand This ar
rangement viii draw. will demonstrate
to my audience that Mr.. Buchanan has all
his life long been defrauding some woman
of her rights, l will paint Gin words) the
charms Of the fair sex; and then point to my
wife for further illustration; with one voice
the assembled thousands shall raise the cry
"Down with 'old Buck and up with mar.
ried man for President" You see, Mr.
Editor, the thing can be done; and be as.
sured, am resolved it shall be done. ,'...
