WHAT TIE PAPERS THINK OF iIIM.-Buchanan's
nomination has not been received with that una
nmity the party who had him in charge at first
expected it would be. Many of She most inhu-
entail Democratic journals in this country repu-
date both him and the platform. For instance,
the n. Y. Evening Post, the Chicago Democrat,
the Buffalo Republic, the independent Democrat,
of Waukegan, and the Rockford Democrat, of
Illinois, repulate him, and other papers from
which We make the following extracts. The
Philadelphia Bulletin says:
The impression made upon the public mini bv
the nomination of Mr.. james Buchanan Tor the
Presidency is not at all what his friends had
counted upon. Many who have hitherto thought
him "a must available man, begin to see that he
is one quite easy to be beaten, if the opposition
to his party, which is known to exist, can be
properly organized.
The New York Courier and Enquirer says:
Mr.. Buchanan, in our judgment, is destined to
be beaten. Ills amable personal qualities will
20 but a verv short way towards reconciling the
American people to the principles and policy
with which he is identified. The coming contest
involves too serious political issues to b. n!u
enced to any important extent, by mere personal
considerations. NJ. Buc:ianan is to-day IL weak
candidate with the M orty of the american
people, AMI rs he becomes btt.er un lei stood,
will rapidly grow weaker.
The Philadelphia North American says of the
nomination.
The platform on which he his been placed is
ahhorrent tn the sense of the free States Of the
North, and involves principles which must make
IL ulStasIcful even 10 portionS Oh INC ooutu--
With these doctrines inscribed on his banner.
Mr.. Buchanan cannot get the votes of large
portion OF those who are detached from the eX-
listing political organizations. aul who, under
other circumstances, might AVE preferred him,
rs All alternative, to IL more unacceptable candi-
date.
The N. Y. Tribune, y. Y. Times, n. Y. Herald.
Boston Atlas, Albany Journal, Chicago Tribune,
and m array of other papers, beside several in
the Southern States, are pouring their hot shot
into him in most electual manner and it
should be remembered that the campaign is not
yet fully open. We have our doubts about his
election.
New YoRk.-An intelligent correspondent
writing from the city of New York, says:-
The prospects Of the Republicans are bright
cning every day. We are well organized in
this city, where there are thousands Of earnest,
thoughtful men, who have not heretofore min
sed in political s,rfes, but are now at work
with ali energy and determination, which must
show G orious results mex, November. These
men are chccred III their noble work by tie
most faltering accounts from t!cir coadju in
the rural districts. All the Republicans have to
do now, Is TO nominate good, reliable men for
President aud Vice President. aud the People
will elect them, Us surely rs God is Just
PoRrRAIr OF Nix. BucmANAN.-Thc New
York Herald thus draws the portrait of Mr.
Buchanan: "Thc man the South has chosen
is an old gentleman, who as.in the prime of

pass it then, and agrees 10 its repeal now a
