The Detroit Free Press saws


James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania-the true
patriot, the distinguished statesman and the
accomplished gentleman-was, yesterday NOM
mated by the Democratic National Conven-
ton as the candidate of the Democracy for
President of the United States. 1t is with feel
ings of the most intense qualification that we
announce this intelligence, and our readers will
no doubt receive it with an equal degree OF
| delight. The nomination is equivalent to an
election. The glorious Democracy, the only
party now that ~sustains the Constitution and
upholds the Union, will, with i" Old Buck" as
their standard bearer. sweep everything before
them at the election in November. There's
no such word as fail"
The Charleston Is. C.( Mercury thus
warmly endorses Mr.. BUcHANAN:
Mr.. Buchanan is, from his whole eminent
public career, as acceptable a man as could be
presented to the support ofthe Southern people.
He has great political e~xperien ce, great moder-
alton of character, a thorough acquaintance
with our domestic politics, and has always
maintained those principles of conservatism
that are, in these times of wild and lawless adj
venture, so important to the peace, dignity and
honorable character of the Confectionery. We
think the whole country can safely entrust their
interests to his guardianship. He has been
long and prominently identified with the his
tory Of tbs Of
State and Minister to England that it is quite
unnecessary y us uWGiI upOn ~ BOll"SdA
career. Undoubtedly he is, by universal con-
sent, one of the most eminent men of the coun.
try.
The Chicago Times, a warm advocate,
before the nomination, of Mr. DOUGLAS,
thus gives its cordial adhesion to the
nomination of Mr.. BUCHANAN:
He is worthy of the high honor. He has q
name connected with the past glory of the ma
ton. He is remembered for his wisdom and
sagacitY as a senator and diplomat. He be-
longs, too, to the noble State of Pennsylvania.
She has never had a President. She has elect
ed many, but has never had an opportunity to
vote for one of her own sons. To her in the
person ofthe distinguished statesman, Illinois
and the Northwest with generous confidence
Yields the honors, which under other circum-
stances could be claimed as of right belonging
to the West. Illinois has gracefully yielded to
Pennsylvania in the choice ola candidate, but
Illinois will not yield to Pennsylvania in the
battle to elect him.
The New Hampshire Patriot says:
The nomination of Mr.. Buchanan will be
heartily and cordially responded to by the Ee-
mocracy of New Hampshire. Although they
preferred. for obvious reasons, the denomination
of franklin Pierce, and will very naturally feel
disappointed that lie did not receive it, still they
had the most unlimited confidence in Mr.. Bu-
chanan, and will support him with the same
zeal, energy and enthusiasm that they would
have exhibited in support oftheir own distin-
guished fellow citizen. There is not a Demo
crat in the State who will not support the nom
nation, and there is no doubt that it will be
by a majority of five thousand in the
popular vote of New Hampshire.
To the foregoing add the hearty en-
dorsement of every regular Democratic
100. - H. TTr;on oD6 rou mill tbap
have a true idea as to AOW the press re-
ceives the nominations. The skies were
never brighter. Let the opposition shape
itself as it pleases-nothing can with
the onward march of the Democ-
-acy-no power short of Omnipotence,
firmly believe, can prevent the tri-
1mphant election of the Democratic nom
