the Democracy of Stark county at this time,
and, this TOO, without making any inyidious
distinction toward the other distinguished De-
mocrats named in connection with the Presi-
sidency."
The Ashland Union, one of the ablest papers
in the State, declares its preference for Mr..
Buchanan, over all the other candidates in the
field. The editor truly says, that no one would
be so acceptable 10 the Democracy of this
State, and, indeed, Of the whole Union, as that
distinguished statesman, and that he is the
choice OF four-fifths of the Democracy of Ash
land county The editor concludes thus: ave

ever they may be, our cordial support. We
60 for both principles and men. But our first
choice is for James Buchanan, the man the
people, and not the politicians desire to see

public opinion in this State. as we believe,
and in this part of the State as we know, for
any other man than Buchanan We Conf.

are IN vavor OF Buchanan, and the delegates
to the Cincinnati Convention cannot fail to see
It, unless they willuly close their eyes.
The Hooking Sentinel of the lst instant, in
an article on the Presidency, says:
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, we be-
lieve to be the man for the present emergency
He IS sound national man, second to none
in point Of talent. He has long been in public
service, and understands well the principles OF
our governmental policy. He is far from being
an utraist, and in his hands we doubt not the
government would be wisely and successfully
conducted
The Democracy can rally around him with
an enthusiasm which will be sure precursor
of ofvictory There can be no doubt of his trium-
phant election, if nominated

\ EXTRAORDINARY RELEAsE.-The GAINESVILLE
(Ohio) Courier gives an account of the release
of four men from coal bank near that place,
who had been buried beneath the earth by the
bank caving in for Ia days and IA hours. They
we're all able to walk and with one exception
appeared still to have considerable strength.
The Courier says:
Il appears that they did not suffer much from
hunger. The first day after the catastrophe they
made bed Of soft earth and slept together.
During their sleep, the lamps went out, and
we're not again lighted. There was only din.
ner for one man in the mines, and this was soon
exhausted. They then used fresh water, three
Jugs Of which we're with them, and after exhaust
ing this, they drank sulphur water One of the
men got sore throat from the use OF this, and
took swallow Of oil for relief This was all of
the latter article used by them.

Government have presented to Mr.. Grinnell, Of

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

The abolitionists of Kansas have
formed guerilla bands, for the purpose
of killing Southern men. They scour
the whole country, desolating it with
fire and sword, killing in nocent men,
and driving women and children, help
less, houseless, and penniless, from
their homes. Men are dragged from
their beds and murdered in the pres
ence of their wives and children.
