The labnrs u the Cincinnati convention have come
10 end iGuol sooner thnn any had JUST Ia
hone for resulting in the unanimous numlnntIon, on
The even;etith ballot Of Mr.. Buchanaa oi Pennsyl-
vanin for the Presidency, and nf Mr.. Breckenridge
Of Kentucky on tho second ballot, tor the Wee Pre-
slency.
We hrliave that this nomination is the most con-
serYaIe one that the D.nncrHiic party could have
na,ie; and allowing Mr.. Buchanan IN. benefit OF the
statute OF limitations with Regard 10 hrs earlier poI
cal course, which it would be exceedingly difficult t'
square with the preceprs OF modern Democracy, he
will doubtless reorve larger vote from that party at
the South than any other OF tieir prominent men.
