~ YELLOW FEyER.--Some of tllc New Yofk papers state that the accounts of the Yellow Fever at Ft.

DOUGLAS AND BuCuANAN.-The Genius Of
Liberty, prominent democratic paper pub
lshed in Uniontown, Pa, thus speaks the
candidates for the Presidency:
The Pennsylvania delegation will present
the name of Mr.. buchanan with entire and
earnest unanimity; and insist upon his no.
mnation; while number of the New Eng
land and Southern States, will urge the re-
nomination OF President Pierce. 1t may be
that some other man not so prominent, but
equally popular will receive the nomination.
General Cass the old patriarch Of democra.
cy; and who stands first in the affections Of
his party, has positively forbid the use of
his name in connection with the subject.
Personally we have a warm Partially for
Stephen A. Douglas, the boldest and most
eloquent democrat in the United States Sc.
nate; and we don't know that he has SUI
peror outside Of that body. lie is intensely
hated by Know Nothngs and Aboitionists:
a strong proof that he has the ability to de-
fend truth and expose error; aud he deserves
to be, and will be sustained by the noble
hearted democracy whose champion he is.
His grit and his talents, are the kind OF ma.
tera that will soon be needed in the Pres-
dental chair. In view of these facts, we
saw that we have n warm Partially for Mr..
Douglas.
