Marshall County Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1855-1859, 1856-07-03
The way it is received.

The nominations of the Cincinnati Con-
yention are hailed by the masses through
out our wide spread country with feelings
of enthusiastic Joy. Our democratic ex-
Changes are eloquent in praise OF the selec-
ton, and even the opposition organs frank
" acknowledge that ii is the STRONGEST tick
e. which could by any possibility have been
made. Below we give few extracts from
opposition papers:
The "National MteHigencer, " (Fillmore)
says:
1.-The nomination of Mr.. Buchanan has
been confidently claimed by his political
friends for some time past, notwithstanding
the general, if not unanimous favor which
the reelection of President Pierce was sup
posed to have obtained the South by the
Tenor of his last annual message. Strong
as Mr. Buchanan was regarded, We are not
so ch..surprised at his ultimate success
AS that considering the formidableness of
his competitors, he should have received
the required two-thirds Of the Convention
afer SO brief q contest.
HE is the choice of his party, and it is
not Tor us to praise or blame the selec ION.
But we may say, that the party might have
done worse: we knew not that it could have
done better, although there are eminent
men in it of equal ability and experience, if
not of equal devotion to the party. Mr.. Blu
chanan is man of character, of stainless
private life, and of long and varied expert
ence in public affairs
The New York journal of Commerce, "
Indepenent says:
II re selection Of Mr.. Buchanan will tend
to strengthen the public faith in the fitness
of the people for elf-government. Among
the most experienced of the few remaining
statesmen who have been employed in the
National service during period extending
over half the existence Of the Republic, he
has exhibited in the various exhalted sta
tons which he has been called upon to fill
a thorough fitness for their respective du-
ties, perfect comprehension Of the inter-
ests entrusted to his charge, an undevla-
tins sense Of equity and justice in judgment
and administration, and liberal and patri-
otic estimate of those considerations neces-
sary to the adjustment of conflicting sec
tional interest, which have hitherto 50 hap
PLY controlled the Counsels Of the country,
and given to it an unprecedented develop
ment of expansion. power, and prosperity,
and which the advancement Of Of general
civilization and progress. no less than our
own permanent well-being, require to be
maintained in paramount supremacy
The Baltimore Patriot (Fillmore) says:
eff we are destined to have another
Democratic President, it will be some sa,-
isfac ion, to feel that of all the candidates
put in nomination for that exalted Office,
Mr. Buchanan is likely to prove the least
Objectionable. HIS mature age, his long
experience as statesman, the high posi-
tons he has previously filled. and the man
ner in which he has performed the various
du les which have been devolved upon him,
leaI US to hope that in threvent of his cleo
ton as Chief Magistrate, he will be govern
ed by sense of national responsibility
which will atone, in some degree, for the
mlny political errors Of his predecessor.--
OF The three principal nominees. Mr.. Bu-
chanan may be regarded as decidedly the
safest. although his success in the APP
preaching contest Is still extremely doubt
full"
The Baltimore Sun, independent
says:
..Our citizens generally of other polite
al views congratulate the democracy upon
the selection Of their candidate His emf
nent talents. distinguished public services,
irreproachable life, and manifest popularity
are high qualifications with which to enter
upon the campaign"
The New York Commercial Adcerttser,
(Whig,) says:
Perhaps no gentleman whom demo
