WHAT MORE DO YE WANT,

With JAMES BUCHANAN as the nominee of
the Cincinnati Convention, the Democracy viii
have candidate who can command success in
the coming campaign, who has earned and
who enjoys the confidence Of all parties at
home, ana the high consideration of all foreign
Governments.
With him, all sections of the Union will feel
that the Constitution has vindicator. All
men believe that under him, there will be no
kitchen cabinet. But that he will collect
around him cabinet of safe advisers, men Of
experience, of yigor, aud having the nations
confidence.
That he will exert himself to allay sectional
strife, to extend our commerce and the demand
for our produce by new treaties, opening new
and widening old channels.
1t is due alike to Mr. BUCHANAN, whose po-
sition enables him TO ensure triumph to the
Democratic party, as to the party itself, to
place in the Presidential chair one who will
grace it with dignity and fulfil all its duties
with fidelity and promptitude.
The sober thought Of the nation, coming
from all parties, would sanction the propriety
Of bis nomination.
To put him aside yet again, when his native
State, second TO none in service to the Democ-
racy presents him for acceptance, with victory
in his hand, would be to promulgate doctrine
that ability, long experience, long service long
tried fidelity are no necessary requisites to
honor, but that the Presidency is scrub race,
in which only inferiority contends. The long
and noble race in which statesmen and patriots
have contended, is to be supplanied by the
baser sort, in which every political hack in the
land has as good show for preference as the
ablest and the best.
Let delegates beware Of converting Cincin-
natl into slaaghter-house in which patriotism
is butchered on the altar OF spoils.
The only claims preferred for the selection
Of General Pierce, are his eleventh hour ser.
vices Do these claims require for payment
two Presidential terms?
The parties who support him for these late
services, admit the propriety Of honor to the
ahh lth Nbhih iBHOIG tue
more numerous and more valuable services Of
Mr.. BUCHANAN.
1t is the duly Of the South, most especially
under the issues presented for the campaign, to
give to de North Democratic States the right
to name the man under whose lead they con-
slider victory most certain.
OF all the States in the Union, to Pennsyl-
vania, UNNECESSARILY before all others, is the
South indebted for respect to their rights
and for her constant vindicn,ion Of them.
We're Pennsylvania to wheel into the free
soil ranks, as have done Ohio, New York, and
New Hampshire, perilous indeed, would be the
sectional strife. Let the South consider this
matter, and no longer slight the claims Of this
powerful and always faithful State
New Hampshire has had her reward, but
she fell OF from the good faith, repudiating the
selection made.

UNIVERSITY or VIRGINIA.

The meeting Of the Board Of Visitors to the
University, which took place on Monday last,
resulted in several additions to the professional
department, aud division of the chair Of
Ancient Languages. A chair Of History and
General Literature together with that of An
atomy, Materia Medica and Botany, was created.
Latin and Greek we're assigned to two profess
sors, the former Of which DR.. Harrison retains.
These changes were foundto be necessary, and
they Indicate the increasing prosperity of our
noble University. There are 558 students now
in attendance

as asylums Of refuge for every demagogue who
may seek to escape the personal castigation
due to every public sanderer, BY converting
them into sanctuaries Of insult and defamation.
1t win not do to allow such characters immunity
in the high places Of our government. Better
thatt the Senate chamber should witness every
day . merited aaggellation like that Of which
Mr.. Sumner was the victim, than that defam-
ing and insulting tongues like his should have
a free charter to exercise themselves with i'm.
punity in that conspicuous and exalted theatre
of the Republic. 8f

The Emperor of Russia has issued the fol.
lowing manifesto on the subject Of his ap-
preaching coronation:
"We, Alexander III, Emperor and Auiocrat
Of all the Russas, King Of Poland, &c, make
known by these presents:
when we ascended our ancestral throne OF
Russia, The Grand Duchy Of Finland, and the
throne Of Poland, which is inseparable from il,
in the midst Of severe trials both for us and
our country, we resolved in our heart TO defer
our coronation so long as the thunder Of arms
was not silenced within the limits Of our
realm, and the blood Of our glorious Christian
warriors, who had signalized themselves both
By deeds of rare courage and by self sacrifices
had not ceased TO flow.
Now that bene6cent peace is restoring to
Russia her former tranquility, we intend, in
conformity with the example Of the former
pious Emperors, our predecessors, to be crown
ed, and to receive the prescribed anointment,
and atthe same time to have our dearly be
loved consort, the Empress Maria .Alexan-
drowna, participate in the same. While we
thus make known to our faithful subjects this
our intention, which, with Gods help, shall be
carried into execution in the month OF August
Of this year, we invite them mt the same time to
Join their prayers to onrs that Gods blessing
may descend on us aud on our government
that God may help us, while placing on our
head the imperial crown, to take upon US the
oath and vow TO live solely and alone for the
good Of the nations that are put under our rule
and nav Almighty God enghten all our
thoughts and inspire all our acts by the be-
stowal Of His holy spirit. ALEXANDER.

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRs-ARBI-
TRATION.


Within the past week, the distant papers
have foreshadowed, by telegraph, the fact that
the President intended to communicate to Con-
gress message on the subject Of Central
American affairs, more particularly involving
the question of the proposed arbitration, on the
part ofthe Government Of Great Britain con-
corning our respective differences as to the
terms Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
y The President, on Thursday, communicated
that message to the Senate, but, as it was not
read before that body, we can only repeat
what we have heard, namely: that the Execu-
tive declines arbitration upon the general sub
ject, but is wiling to leave to the determination
ofeeminent men of science of both countries
the question of the rightful limits of the es-
tahlishment at the Belize, whether the Bay
Islands do or do not belong to Honduras, and
what extent Of country is embraced in the
term Mosquito Coast"
Mr.. Dallas, it is further said, has been in
structed to enter into communication with
Lord Clarendon on the subject, to ascertain
whether existing differences cannot be promptly
terminated by direct negotiation; and if they
cannot, then to discuss the conditions of arbi-
tration Of those points of difference, as to which
alone this method Of settlement seems requisite
or applicable

Rev. Henry WARD BEEcnER has been ec-
turing in Meriden, Conn, and the Transcript
Of that village. thus records its opinion of that
eccentric gentleman
"Of Henry Ward Bcecher as a man and a
minister, VIC know little but as q public lcctu-
rer. he is the most able, tho most concerted, the
most pathetic, the most silly, the most eloquent.
and the most vulgar, that we ever saw stand
before refined audience He can 20 from the
sublime to the ridiculous, and from the ridicu-
lous TO the sublime. can deal in satire the most
keen, AID in descriptions the most beautiful,
and can display the most originality ard the
most vanity before an audience, OF any man
living. His wit is cross between sense and
nonsense-between refinement and bar-room
slang-and many of the odd sayings, dropped
gratuitously here and there in his lectures, with
the pronoun wriggled in where there should
have been only exclamation points, sounded
amazingly smart and funny because their author
was Henry Ward Bcecher, an orthodox divine !;
but II some les noted teacher iu the field Of
literature had deigued TO be so common in his
keenuess, VIC dare say he would have been called
both blasphemous and stupid. For instance,
when Mr.. Beechcr remarked. with sinister
expression Of countcnanee and with finger
pointed in the direction which he indicated, that
when minister Of the gospel got to he 40 holy
that be could not mix with other people he had
better : go up, We opiud%that the advice was
better than the language in which il was ex-
pressed and are inclined to think that had the
same expression been made by almost any body
else outside Of bar-room. the propsiety Of both
would have been called in question"
