J the grsa. national democratic party animaisl by
! one common sentiment Of Iairioiism, breathing
one common enthusiasm, and haTmoniously n,
, l"rins for one common object
We cannot find word. To s,prsss how Will
pleased We are with the nominees Of the conyen-
tlon. Among the host II illustrious statesmen
p and patriots OF whom our PARTY can boast, any
, Of whom would have reflected honor on the presi-
deney, james buchanan has constantly been our
fret ehuice for that exalted position, There i.
not name in the whole country that will send
such a thrill Of enthusiasm throughout the eoun-
try that Of tho ineorruptihle patriot aud dig
nided statesman Of Pennsylvania, Identified with
the political history Of the country for upwards
Of forty ears in every position in which he las
been brought to act he has exhibited the highest
qualities of craftsmanship and the lofIiest senti-
) ments of patriotism. In every field public
service, in his State Legislature, in the national
House of Representatives and Senate, as a cabinet
Minister and as diplomatist, James Buchanan
has stood pre'eminent among his peers ON
every great question Of internal or foreign policy
which has been before the country for the last
forty years, James Buchanan has taken his
stand and illumined IL hy the researches Of his
powerful mind, His record is before the country.
IL stamps him as one of the great conservative
statesmen of tho age. To the ten thousand SLAM
ders that party malice and reckessncss will bring
against him to operate upon unSuspecting dem
ocrats, II is only necessary 10 say Mr. Buchanan
was the early friend and constant and steadEst
supporter of Gen, jackson during his eventiul
administration. When thousands deserted the
old hero under the bank panic James Buchanan
stood firmly by him throughout that fearful
struggle with tho money monster, which resulted
in its total overthrow. IL this is not sufficient
evidence of his antecedents, lot it be remembered
that he was called by that pure patriot and
Statesman, James X. Polk, on his elevation to
the presidency, to the chief place in that splcn-
did cabinet of talent, whose unsurpassed ability |
and craftsmanship reflected glory on the whole
country during his memorable administration. If |
still further evidence is wanting, it is found in
his call by the present worthy Executive to the
first foreign mission in the world Search his
rccord-anrsack his political history, and it will
be found that Mr.. Buchanan has from first to
last been of the wisest safest and hest of our
public men. Reared at the north he has given
his enlarged mind and talent to the service Of the
whole country. AT every stage of sectional agi
tation he has frowned upon and denounced the
fanaticism that has attempted to impair the
rights and destroy tho equal ty of one section of
the Union. No public man, at an earlier day,
took prominent stand against the anti-savery
agitators and defended with more manlincss and
ability the rights Of the south. No public man
has more consistently and constantly maintained
that position n.spite of the local sentiment pre-
vaiing in his own section of the Union. On all
occasions he has robukcd, as It deserved, these
reckless agitators, and eloquently defended the
rights of the south as guaranteed in the constitu-
ton.
If the nomination of Mr. Buchanan was well
deserved, that of John c. Breckenridge of Ken
lucky was most fortunate. 1t is unnecessary to
speak at length of him. Though but a young
man the whole country knows him. In one term s
service in the national Congress, by the force of
his brilliant genius, he took his stand at once in
the front rank of the rising statesmen Of America.
He became candidate for Congress in District
casting wing majority of2 GOO votes, District
which boosted of being the home of Henry Clay,
the illustrious leader of whiggery. His splendid
talent and eloquence overcome this majority and
he was triumphanty elected. He returned home
after one brief terms service in Congress, with
the admiring gaze Of the nation fixed upon him,
the chevalier Bayard of democracy and the pride
and idol of Kentucky. He refused rc.nomina-
ton for Congress and has since refused the most
honorable positions from the federal government,
in order to give that attention to his private bu-
siness which it demanded.
With such names inscribed upon her banners,
the national united democracy will go into the
contest with an absolute assurance that one of
the most glorious victories she has ever gained
will perch upon her standard In November next.
Every hostile flag will be swept from the field
before the resistless march of the untewifed
hosts which, under the lead of Buchanan and
Breckenridge, will 60 forth in the contest to
maintain the supremacy of the constitution and
the integrity Of the Union. A sound like the
rushing of many waters will come up from the
American people, rebuking sectionaism, crush
ing out prescription and bigotry and vindi eating
the true principles of republcanism. The hand
is already upon the wall, tracing with its iron
finger meme tekel upharsi against the traitorous
factions and miserable oath-bound organizations
that have been formed to subvert the Fundamental
principles of the constitution and bring reproa CHI
upon our cherished system of government, Fl The i
'eastng ana ..,vtlng Of the political jewellers is at
an end as the democratic banner is unfurled to
the br eeze and the names of Buchanan and |
Breckenridge fash over the electric wires, and
arc echoed from one end of the country we shall
