THEY WON'T RE ENTHusIAfTi :; The apathy
with which the nomination of Mr.. Buchanan is
ceved by the masses of the Democracy in every
part of the country - omnoas of his defeat.
The Democratic organs are complaining bitterly
that all their efforts to get up some sembance of
enthusiasm IRE unavailine, The New Orleans

Though his nomination has been duly ratified
cprding to ancient formulas yet the observer cannot
fail to note absence of that popular enthusiasm
which his fugiemen predicted would follow that

remnant of the Democratic party, are merging into

WaiIing Among the Faithful.

The following from the Kentucky Woman, a
Democratic paper, will show what confidence
Democrats themselves hayein carrying Keniuc
XIV for Buchanan. There il no earthly possibility
of any such result; and the silly Democrat that
bets on it had just as we'll throw his money in
the sea ANY one who will read the cendd ad
missions ofthe Woman must be satisfied TINT the
talk of carrying Kentucky for old Buck is sheer
raseonnde. Here ia what it says:
II j. in fact worthy OF note that tho Democrat
ic party Of Kentucky are just now entering upon
The most imporlan canvass since their first sue
cess under the lead Of Jefferson, without any or
ganizaton worthy OF the name. A large amount
uf money is staked upon the result in Kentue-
Ky; we have gallant young champion, Breck-
ciridge. on the track. yet we have organiza-
ton worthy Of the name. Who or what il TO
blame for this apparent indifference We take
occasion 10 say that it is not the Central Com
mitteo The committee have dnno their duty
fully-bnt the district committees have not. The
chrirnan Of those committees should respond Mt
once 10 the call Of the central committee. With
out such sondenoe the committees cannot
understand each other or work together. We
do not like TO deceive our friends at any time AMI
shall not do 30 now We want the democracy
10 understand that they have no other organiza-
ton than one of principle in many counties in
the State. We may tnlk loud and bet high md
still lose Kentucky, rs we will unless more at
tenton is given for the purpose Of nm organlza
ton. 1t is shame that the central committee
should write to those reported good working dem
ocrats, and receive no response Organize, or
ganise, Immediately.

his death was caused by taking strychnine.

ed had led a life of dissipation, and had squander-
ed his means among disreputable persons of both

month Of November last, and since that period

tried TO dissuade the deceased from thinking of
