 friend has permitted us to make the fol- lowing extractfrom private letter of one of Ar kansas's intelligent representatives at Cinciu- nat. He speaks the truth and hence pays a high compliment to the conventiom
 We have had the pleasure, too, of couvcrs- ing with many returned delegates among them, Col. FLoURNoY, and Gcn'l CALDWELL of our State-and they all concur hertily in the opiu- ions expressed below. All are proud of the party:
 II have just returned from the convention at Cincinnati; and assure you never felt so proud before at being democrat, though was always fully impressed with the opinion that ours was the only national party in exis- tence. saw there nearly six hundred men, from all parts of our extended Union, where every heart and feeling was true to the collsttu- ton, to State i5hts and to the Kansas and Ne braska bill; and all disposed to maintain the right of each and every member of this cOnfederacv to inhabit the territories with every description of property recognized by the constitution as such. looked with happiness over that most intelligent representation of our national demo- cracy. and thought our country and our Union was secure. There was not jar of discord.- Our friends, alike of north and south, planted themselves upon the platform of the constitu- tional rights of the south; and we will carry that principle through the north with such a majority that the most skeptical will never again say that the northern democracy is not sound. "Pierce and Douglas were voted for with zeal by their personal friends; but a common determination seemed to possess every member of the convention, that when either of the three great names presented to it received a majority indicative that he was the choice of his party, that then he should be unanimously nomnated-which you are aware was done all personal preferences being merged in a de- termination to carry out the glorious principles of the democracy.
 Principles, not men, governed the conven- tion-and with such platform, Kentucky will go by ten perhaps twenty thousand, for James Buchanan and John c. Breckenridge her be- loved and gifted son."
