He cordially ratified the nomination of
James Buchanan-l5t. Because it was due
to the man ID, Because it was due to Penn
sylvauia. Sd, Because it was the safest,
soundest, most sanitary and conservative
movement which could have been made in
reference to the condition of the country.

ton, the overwhelming voice Of Virginia
united with the great Central States, without
regard to sections of North or South. For
these four reasons. any one of which was
sufficient, he had gone for the nomination,
and now heartily confirmed it.

RAISING THE SAFE OF THE AMERICAN
ExPREss Co. FROM THE STEAMER ATTAIN
TIC THRILLING ScENE-The Detroit I'D
pertiSer of une 28th, contains the follow
ing:
A sub marine diver from Buffalo has at
last succeeded in raising the safe of the
American Express Co., which was lost when
the steamer Atlantic was sunk of Long Point
in 1852. 1t will be remembered that this
steamer was instantly sunk by coliding with
II propeller, and that a large number of
passengers were lost. The diver was pro-
tocted by copper armor and was nnder wa
ter forty minutes, during which time he had
some strange adventures. The upper deck
of the steamer lies one hundred and sixty
feet under water, and far below where there
is any current or motion. Everything,
therefore, is exactly as it first went down
When the diver alighted upon the deck, he
was salute1 by beautiful lady whose cloth
ing was we'll arranged, and her hair elegant
ly dressed. AS he approached her. the mo-
ton of the water caused an oscillation of the
head as if gracefully bowing to him. She
was standing erect, with one hand grasping
The rigging. Around lay the bodies Of sew
eral others, as if sleeping. ChildreD hold
lUO tnelr ITlcUuS Dy tHe uduuS, anu
with their babes in their arms were there
In the cabin the firnature was still untouch-
ed by decay, and to all appearance had just
becn arranged by some careful and tasteful
hand.
In the Office he found the safe, and was
enabled to move it with ease, and took it
upon deck, where the graphing irons were
fastened on and the prize brought safely to
light Upon opening the safe, 1t displayed
its contents in perfect state Of preserva-
ton There was in the safe S5 900 in gold,
$3 500 in bills of the Government Stock
Bank, and large amount of bills ON other
b,uks. amounting in all to about $4,000.
The papers were uninjured, except that they
snelled very strongly of decayed human
bodies, as if il had laid for so many years in
coffin with their owner. Of course, all
this money goes to the persons interested
in this wonderful adventure.
The Detroit Free Press says: The new
bills, we are told, are comparatively unin-
jured by their long imprisonment and expo
sure to dampness, but the old ones nr0 quite
injured and defaced, whether so much so as
to prevent their Identification and redemp-
tiun we have not learned. There are sever
al thousand dollars on the exploded Gov
ernment Stock Bank of Ann Arbo,, inclu-
ded in the amount recovered.

Enthusiasm for Buchanan aud Brecken-
rlhge.


The enthusiasm for Buchanan and Breck-
enridge, says the Washington correspondent
of the San Francisco Globe, is daily increas-
ing. Bets are offered, but no takers are to
found, that the Democrats will carry Maine,
New Hampshire and Connecticut-which
were at one time looked upon as doubtful
The Wings hold Convention at Louisville
to-day, and it is believed that they will pass
resolution endorsing the nomination of
Buchanan and Breckenridge. The Hon. r..
C. Winthrop is out in a letter denouncing
the present agitation at the North, and init
mates that he will support Buchanan. In
Connecticut, the Whig candidate f'r Gov
crnor at the last election, and the President
of the Know Nothing State Council, have de
clared for Buchanan-not that he is their
choice, but as there is no chance for the
election of Fillmore, they wish to defeat the
Black Republicans The New York Journal
of Commerce, neutral, and the New York
Commercial Advertiser. an old line Wing
paper, the two leading and most respectable
business papers in New York city, are advo-
eating the election of Buchanan. The Ad-
vertiser says:
1.-The editors Of the Commercial Adver-
tiser can never throw the influence Of this
journal on the side of sectional candidate

1t is expected that the National Intelli.

Kentucky, it is doubtful if the Know Moth

GH- Asan evidence Of the liberality OF
public opinion. the Marysville Enquirer"
mentions the fact that they have been in
operation some forty or fifty days. aud have
yet to hear, for the first time, that dread
full sound. so common in days of yore. "Siop
my paper"' We are pleased TO be able to
announce the fact that our amiable neighbor
has met with such liberal reception, and
first of all, We must attribute il TO the grace
full manner in which the Editor discharges
his duty, and, secondly; to the fact that
the Inquirer is Vigilance organ, and those
who are opposed to its course, are not so
bigoted as to require an Editor to express
their own views, or use their endeavors to
crush him to the earth. We are pleased
to be able to chronicle this evidence
of liberality on the part Of those opposed
to the action of the Vigilance Committee. 1t
is in strong contrast with at least portion
of those who favor the Vigilance Committee.
The committee and their friends, have not
only discontinued papers opposed to them
but have withdrawn advertisements, and all
other countenance and support. This is not
mentioned in a spirit of complaint, for while
we claim and exercise the privilege of freely
expressing our own views and opinions, we
chcerfully accord to every one the same free
dom of thought and action but we mention
it for the purpose of showing on which side
in this question, is liberality of opinion, and
which side seeks to exercise tyranny over
the minds as we'll as over the bodies
of their fellow citizens. There are some
friends who are liberal enough to patronize
paper even if it does not reflect their ex-
act views. Such men constitute the true
worth and intelligence of the country, and
are an honor to any community. We were
aware that Marysville had many such lber-
al-minded gentlemen and are gratifed at
being able to state that there are many such
id Oroville. Bot we have often smiled at
the thought, that persons who had taken
umbtage at an Editor. should rush into an
Office with the terrible cry, Stop my paper,

A ASERENADE.-lf there is anything more
delightful than the sweet sleep of an Editor
of daily paper, at peace With all the world
and his own conscience, it is to be awakened
from such sleep by the melodious harmony
of more sweet and gentle music For thus
gently arousing US from the arms of Nor
pheus on Tuesday Evening, and pouring in
to the willing ear, the delightful melody
Of exquisite music and beautiful song, we
invoked upon the angel visitors, Heavens
choicest blessings. On being awakened
thus, the first impulse of feeling was to fill
the side board with goblets of sparkling
champagne, and pay for the music clown
from their instruments, by blowing the tops
of their heads off with explosive Hielseck
but temperance recollections suddenly
crowded upon us, and we failed to find even
the old black bottle usually kept by good
temperance men! Under such circumstan
ces, we came to the conclusion that liquor in
such cases would be like oaths in conversa-
tion, or ten penny nails in veneering, and
laying quietly down to list to the voluptuous
music, were waited upon heavenly zephyrs
