FROM CINCINNA III.
TIE NOMINATION OF BUCHANAN.

From Our Special Cores spondent
CINCINNATI, Friday June 6, 1856.
The revision of the Committees Report 10 the
Gaze Of the New York contested seats was the first
importan. dtmOnstratiOn of Bu chanan po in the
Convention, and by neutrazing the vote of New
York and alarming the office-holders who repre-
sented in large proportion the opposition, paved
the ay for the event Of the second morning, the
nomination of Mr. Buchanan himself There can
be no doubt that this event is in violation of all
precedent of national Democratic Convention. 1t
was the dictation of the Northern Democracy, not
the selection of the Southern Though acquiesced
in by the latter through the influence of numbers,
bravado ind fear, it is yet received and welcomed
with the intention and assurance of making IT more
available to Slavery purposes than the nomination
of more direct representative OF ts latest pollcy
could have been made. The Southern submission
ia another repetition of the slave powers practice
of utirg the Northern Democracy to further it's
constantly progressive and aggressive schemes.
II has used Pierce and Douglas; they have been
of all the benefit to it OF which they possible;
AND now the segrieved North has only been tickled
With the opportunity of bringing forward anothe
willing and available instrument of its own degra

The desertion of Indiana was the great blow to
the Douglas and Pierce party. The delegation
was originally chosen az q Douglas one, but after
coming here it yielded to the seductons which the
BuchaDan interest held out. This frightened the
Officeholders who made up 80 large part OF the
strength of the Administration, prevented them
from taking a bold and firm course and dem0ral-
ized the whole anti. Buchanan force They were
reSncouraped by the failure of the Buchanan boasts
to carry him through on the fourth ballot; but
Thursday nights caucuslng debauched one or two
prominent delegations and the desperate resort of
Withdrawing Pierce and making a stand together
upon Douglas, with a view of forcing the South to

Mr. Buchanan's vote up TO l65. This took all re-
naming courage out of the resstaHts; the cry
among the dependents was Saure gu, pt@. The
flight was eager, and Buchanan on the seventeenth
ballot had every vote. Several states came In
with evident reluctance, aud with feelings, per-
haps that they did not dare to utter; but with
most it was done with apparent heaitiness and
abounding grace California, though instructed to
20 for buchanan, had spurned him because of
Pennsylvanias lection of the resolution in favor
of an overland communication with the Pacific;
she only acquiesced under protest, and with the
declaration that she did not believe Mr. Buchanan
would sustain tie course of his representatives in
this particular The New York Softs fused with
as good a grace as possbe; and under intima-
tion from Pennsylvania that they should stand
Ms fair as their rivals with the new Admins-
tration when elected, promised T. bury the

her favorite had received a handsome compliment

policy taken up and indOrsed ard engraited upon
the National Democratic platform. That being
all the glory the could claim, Illinois professed her
self contented and happy.
Three thinCs have contributed greatly to tlls
result: !. Tn, weakness and unpopularty Of the
Administrator. This brought down not only Gen.
Pierce. but Mr. Douglas, as its chief evil spirit
and the fhsrer Of its fortunes here. 2. The bold,
bullying tone of the buchanan interest Ii
threatened ruin if not allowed to rule; and this
hlled both the oficeLolders and the Shareholders
with such apprehensions that they became easy
victims. 3. The holding Of the Convention in
free instead Of q Slave State. This reversed the
outside influence, which is always potent, and on
tns occasion was tremendous. The popular feel
Ms oi the Democracy of the Free Ststes was very
s.rohe' aud was powerfully represented here from
