the proceedings of the Republican, con-

received votes for President and Vice

His letter tothe New York Ratification
Meeting.
GENTLEMAN: Il gives me great pleasure
to accept your Invitation to unite with the
of New York on Wednesday
next, in responding to the nomination Of
the distinguished statesman whom the
Cincinnati Convention have so unanimous
" presented to the Democracy ofthe Union
for their support. In my judgement the
ranks of the party do not contain two men
more able and upright, or better fitted to
the respective Offices of President and
Vice-President of the United States than
Messrs Buchanan and Breckinrige.
Accept my thanks for your kindness,
and believe me to be respectfully and truly
yours.

Presidential Candidates in the

Field.
The number Of candidates for the Pres
idency nominated by the different factions
Of the opposition, which two years ago
were united against the Democracy, is a
beautiful comment on Fusion. Every
no matter how Insignificant, was patch
ed on the party, andthey succeeded in
carrying the elections in many Of the
States. Last fall there was still some
affinity among them, but where is it now ?
Every faction has its nominee, and all oil
them together will not carry as many
States as they have candidates.
The following are the tickets o in
the field. The old line Wing convention
has not come off yet, and Sam Houston
who was proclaimed an independent IAN
didate, appears to have fizzled out. !

ADMIRABLE HoNEsTY.-The editor of
the Journal quotes a sentence, as from our
last paper, which was never in it, nor was
anything in it like the quotation. &
If the champion can find no better enl-
ployment than building imaginary castles
and firing his pop-gun at them, what can
such inferior warriors as Seward, Hale and
Fred. Douglas do?

Discred1ts the Tale.

1t is charged that Mr., Buchanan said,
forty years ago, before he became a Demo;
cfat, that IF he had a drop of Democratic
blood in his veins, he would let it out"
This charge has often been authoritatively
denied. The New York Tribune has the
manlincss to say of this absurd but malici-
Gus calumny:
I'VE do not think any n who krew
Mr. b. euer credited this tale. He was
never SO simple or impetuous as to use
such an expression. There is not a man
firing more unlikely to make rash, silly
speeches than he as.n
So the Tribune not only discrcdits the
tale, but it broadly intimates that those
who arc circulating it know it to be pure
fabrication

Americanism in the Southwest.

We gather these items from the Spring
field Mo. } Mirror:
Cheering. We understand that in Harri-
sonville, Cass county 50 persons were in
itiated into the mysteries Of that awful place,
Know Nothing Council, in one day.
In Lebanon, on the night after the demo.
cratic meeting there, 10 were initiated into
the Order.
In Greenfield, on last Saturday, % were
found tired of living in error, and made ac-
quaintance with Sam"
Such news is gratifying, and .evinces a
firm determination to uphold the institutions
Of their country. The American bali gath
ers strength as it rolls its onward course.
T5@The reader will find several more
names attached to the call for the gaand rail-
ly of therAmerican party in Green, in May.
There is great deal of enthusiasm and in
terest manifested in regard to this meeting,
amp we expect to see the largest political
turnout ever witnessed in Southwest Mis-
souri,. 1t is expected that in addition TO the
nomination of candidates, Gen. Rains, ]. M
Wines, Esq, and probably others, will be
in attendance, to give us some good speech
es. The Presidential nominations are TO be
ratified, also, Turn out, everybody bring
the women and children, fer "Sam" will be
about. The spirit is up for perfect Amer,
lean jubilee, and we want none to stay
away.

Interesting Item.

We frequently hear it alleged that the
foreign population of Europe study our con-
stitution and laws before they start for
America. That they are often more thor
oughly posted in the current operations of
our government than ourselves. That they
come hilher from an ardent admiration for
our government and institutions, and have
more thorough understanding of them than
those who are raised under their immediate
influence, and see, daily, their practical
workings.
AS a striking EXAMPLE Of the proficiency
made by intelligent Europeans, in the study
of our form of government, and to show how
familiar they are with its practical work
ings, we clip the following from the official
journal Of Tuscany, as translated by the cor
respondent of the Newark { N. J.) .AdUer-
tiSer. Ii will be news to some Of our rea-
! ders:
The new President of the Congress Of the
United States, elected after two months dali
ly Neutrality-suspicious. n. Banks-is a negro,
belonging 10 the republican representation
OF Massachusetts. As a man OF color, and
as an aboitionist, he does moi enjoy the sym
patty of the Southern representatives. The
Democratic party, to which the administra-
ton Of President Pierce belongs, and the
party of the Know Nothings, have, notwIth-
standing, little pleasure in this choice.

Correspondence Of the Times state that
three out Of every five of the male, popula-
ton Of Nicaragua had left the State, some
for Costa Rica, and some for Honduras.
Propositions from San Salvador were

seen service, and included many European
troops, and it is thought that Walker would
be driven from the country.
The English naval force at Greytown re-
mains inactive, and intimation had been Civ
en- that unless threatened it would remain

An editorial in the Tribnne gives the fol-
lowing facts, derived from Trustworthy
fsource at Washington: .-,.
/ The coalition against the present govern
ment, OF the four States of Costa Rica, San
Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala posi-
lively exists; result TO produce which
much has been done in this city. Besides
which, a project Is on foot to annex Costa
RIGA to the Republic of New Granada, il
order to bring greater forces 10 bear in Cen
trail America, than the small States there
could raise.
South American diplomatists, guided BY
English and other European diplomatists
are active in this political intrigue. Ac
cording to present appearances, it is thei
plan to draw Walkers forces into Costa Ri
ca, for the purpose Of exposing Nicaragua
on the side of Honduras, San Salvador, az
