Our Ticket.

We suppose no one of ouT readers will
be surprised to see al the head Of our
columns. the name Of that well tried and
faithful statesman. JAMES BUCHANAN of
Pennsylvania, as the unanimous choice
of the Cincinnati Convention. We were
not alone in Indiana. few weeks ego. in
looking to him as the best chance TO SET
tie the conflicting claims of aspirants, i'll
the present emergency.
JoHN G. BREcKENRIDGE of Kentucky,
the nominee for Vice President, is not so
far to the south as to deprive him Of that
species Of conservatism necessary to q
vigilant defense of the Constitution aud
the preservation of The Union as ii is.
With Buchanan and Breckenridge as
our National standard bearers, we couple
the State Ticket nominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention in January last. and
expect to do honest and fearless battle in
the cause from this time until the No
vember election. We hope to treat those
who cannot conscientiously be with us
in the canvass, with becoming courtesy.
and thus receive from them a respectful
hearing.

Large aud Daring Robbery Heavy Reward Of
fered for the Villain.

lCICu lUI tiiC tliiullls
We heard yesterday Of one of the bold.
est. most cunningly devised and planned,
and most successfully executed robberies
that was ever perpetrated in this city.
Capt. J. c Wingard OF New Orleans,
few days since arrived here for the pur-
pose Of contracting for the building Of
steam boat. and put up at the Calf House.
After inquirlng among the builders here
and at New Albany, and visiting Cincin-
nati. he found prices higher than he anti
cipated, and declining to contract at pre-
sent, determined to make short visit to
Lexington and Ashland preparatory to
returning home on the steamer FL. d.
Newcomb. With this intention. he con
veried his drafts into money at the Bank.

and o'clock. A. NJ, a servant was sent
to his room to awaken him to be ready
for the cars, but not receiving any res
ponse. opened the door, which was un-
locked, and entered. Failing to arouse
Dr. John w. Matthews being called in,
immedia tely discovered the true condi
tion of affairs. The room had been en-
tered through the transom window and
cloroform administered 10 Capt. Wingsrd.
and, while he was insensible. his trunk
was broken open and examined. and a
gold pen and pencil taken from il, and
81 900 in money. placed around his wais:
in handkerchief, stolen. A vial which
had contained clorJform was found on
the floor; and, after Capt. w. had been
stupe fed with its fumes handkerchief
saturated with it was thrown over his
face. From the quantity inhaled Capt.
Wingard was for some time in critical
condition. and had he remained undiscov-
cred much longer, resusciIation would
have been impossible. AS it was, DR..
Matthews was compelled to resort 10 the
most vigorous measures to save his pa
TENTS life.
The robbery was effected between mid
night and o'clock. A NJ. A pocket
book containing money for his travelling
expenses. his gold watch end gold lock

This may lead TO the detection of the
villain, and merchants, brokers. and po.
lice officers in all sections Of the Union

notes of this denomination offered them.

1t will be seen by the advertisement in
another column that Captain Wingard
offers the handsome sum Of 5 900 fol
the recovery of the money. 1t should be
sufficient to stimulate the police to the
most active exertions.

excitement.--LOuisU Courier.

The Future of Central America.

Since the failure of the Costa Ricans 10
expel the Americans from Nicaro qua. the
enemies of Gen. Walkers enterprise are
trying 10 convince themselves and Others.
that the poverty Of The country in resour
ces and the unhealthiness Of the climate
are insepsrable obstacles TO successful
American Colonization in that quarter.
Ii the facts were as they represent them
TO be, then their conclusions would be
right. but i: is not that Nicaragua. or
any of the States Of Central America, is
so poor in resources that il cannot sup
port and give profitable employment to n
large emigration of natives of more Nor
thern ATTITUDES.
On the contrary, Central America is
rich in undeveloped resour ces. requiring
but a little ca pital and American energy
and enterprise to make them yield large
harvests of gain. Parts Of the country
just like parts Of our own country, are un
healthy to the unaclimated. but there are
extensive and fertile tracts in the noun
famous regions lying near the Pacific
coast which are exceedingly salubrious.
aud where emegrants from Northern lati.
tudes may enjoy general good health
The English have found no difficulty in
colonizing parts OF Central America, and
surely, where natives OF England can in
ha bit and control the native population.
Americans may hope TO succeed in as
serting a political and social supremacy
Climate. where the soil is fertile, end
commercial advantages are offered. has
never yet proved an invincible foe 10 the
enterprise OF the white man. 1t is only
where sterrility and insalubrity are com
bined. that the white man. not finding the
temptations necessary to induce him TO
accept risks, has abandoned the field. Bui
wherever there are truthful soils, rich
mines. and inviting marts for CONNIE rce,
there The white man will assert his en-
pire--his sovereignty. so to speak-ove;
the worlds wealth. There are in Central
America no insuperable obstacles tc
North American colonization. and ten
years from this time will sec the Isihmus
connecting the two Western Continents
entirely subjected TO North American
control.
An immense trade will be the resnli ol
the establishment Of staple institutions
and the introduction of a progressive
! civilization in the Central American
States. Across the Isthmian routes q
rich commerce will pass. and fourishing
cities will spring Up where are no but
few temporary hus. New Orleans is ar
example of what the energies Of man and
the necessities of trade will do, and the
are few places on either coast of Cen,ra
America naturally less salubrious than
the delta Of the Mississippi The pasture
lands and mountain districts OF Nicara
qua are more healthy than some inhabi
ted portions Of cur Southern States. END
J those who have resided in Central Amer
ica, or Travelled through a portion OF it
bear testimony to the entire pra aclica bill

II is unnecessary for us to publish any
more Of the proceedings Of the National
Convention. than contains the platform.
We have the reported declaration Of prin-
ciples; and the resolutions; bu. as they
are accompanied by propositions for their
amendment, and as we have not seen any
definite action upon them. we defer their
publication for the present.
The deliberations of that body--though
ii is said 20 have been the largest ever
assembled upon such an occasion-was
harmonious and concilialory. The l7th

choice OF Mr.. Buchanan. as follows:

which had been spent of his intending to

Ii has been intimilated TO US that our
articles published last week, with refer

an expressed desire to dictate with re-

of the kind. We believe the Democracy
OF the Ninth District entirely competent
10 make their own selection of candi-
date against Mr. Colfax; and all we have
said in this connection has been said with
due regard to The claims Of every aspi-
rant. and without the slightest desire or

cription of the way things used 10 be done

"The boys were ranged on the stairs Of
the. meeting house. and man was ap.
pointed to keep people from sleeping by
means of a short. chubbed stick, having
at one end knob and al the other fox
tail, with which he would stroke the
women's faces that were asleep. and with
the other would knock unruly dogs and
men. In the same place, Salem, two
men were appointed to mark down the
non-attendants, in order TO present them
10 the magistrate. while al the same time
three constables were appointed to keep
watch Mt the three doors OF the meeting
house. to prevent any one from going
forth till the exercises were finished"
