News by the Golden Age.
The steamer Golden Age arrived at her
wharf in San Francisco on the l4th inst,
bringing news from the Atlantic States of
no less than four nominating conventions
for the highest Offices within the gift of
the people of the United States, and the
highest known to the Christian world
also Of the acceptance by Mr.. Fillmore of
the American nomination for the PreSi-
dcncy. The Democracy have presented the
names Of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania,
for President, and John c. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, for Vice President. At the
name Of Mr. Buchanan being presented for
the first Office by the Democracy, at this
particular time, we are somewhat surprised.
From all that could be gathered from the
newspapers prior to the nomination, it ap-
pearcd TO us that the combination against
him was too strong for him to have any
chance of success, but time has proved the
con;rary-he is before the people for their
approval or rejection. Mr.. Buchanan has
many political sins to carry with him through
the campaign He was elected to the Legis-
lature from Lancaster county, Pa, in the
years lSl4 aud 1915 as a Federalist, over
Mr.. q. Rogers, Democrat, 10y about 500
votes. In 1920, '22, "a, and '26, he was
elected to Congress as a Federalist. His
opponent in the first two elections was Mr.
Jacob Hibshman, tae third Samuel Hous
ton, and the fourth DR.. John McCamant, al
Democrats. But Mr. Buchanan has done
service TO his country and the Democratic
party since that time, and was strong sup
porter of Gen. Jackson. He is man of no
ordinary talent, with much experience in the
affairs of this country and no doubt if
elected the Union will be safe in bis hands
John c. Fremont, of California, and w
l.. Dayton, Of New Jersey, are the nomi
nees Of the Republican party. Mr.. Ere
mont is identified with the history of the Pa
cihc shores, was the first U. S. Senate
elected from this State, and his nomination
judging from the Eastern papers, gave gres
satisfaction to his sectional friends. Tha
Fremont and Dayton will get a large nun
Der of votes in the free States no one ca
doubt, but that they stand the sIightes
chance for an election by the people is equa
ly certain.
John c. Fremont, of California, and Wi
liam f. johnson, of Pennsylvania, are tb
nominees Of the X. n. boilers, and r. /
Stockton, of New jersey, and Kenneth Ray
ner, of North Carolina, sub-bolters; an
Gerrit Smith, of New York, and S. McFal
land, of Pennsylvania, are the standard bea
ers Of the Abolitionists.
Mr.. Fillmore has accepted the nominatio
of the American party. Fillmore and Dol
elson complete the list of candidates pr,
sented to the people for their suffrage at tb

forms part of his country's history, ha
been tried and found faithful to the trust rt
posed in him, and the party presenting hi
be at this time may feel proud of tn
that bears aloft the banner Of thei
