Mr.. Buchanan is the FIRST old Federalist
who has run for President in forty years
JOHN C. BRECKENRIDGE is "nephew
Of his uncle" Reverend Robert J. Breck-
enridgc, SO notorious for his Pious defence
of Slavery thro' the Southern periodicals
John G. is a "fast man." favorite with
Young America, fluent speaker, served
with honor in the Mexican war, was two
terms in Congress and dared not try the
third heat, and had formal chance for a
foreign mission. His Congressional career
is remembered for his challenge to F. B.
Cutting of NY. to mortal combat for the
exercise of guaranteed right, and also for
his advocacy of the Kansas fraud. His
challenge of brother Member for words
spoken in debate, admirably exhibits his
will, if chosen presiding officer of the us.
Senate, to ssubdue the North without the
help of Brooks! His recent offence will
test the consistency of those who did not
vote for Henry Clay solely because in his
younger days he confirmed to the dueling
code: if that killed the illustrious Kent
ucky Wing, it must kill The Kentucky
Democrat. As an active participator in
the Kansas swiudle, he can not plead that
be was "absent," or that he "would have
preferred not to" have the 'old landmark
removed.
The next Democratic National Conven-
tion is to be held in Charleston in South
Carolina, the home Of Brooks, the most
ultra Slavery, Nullidcation, Aristocratic
hole in the United States, and every way
, unsuited to such convention, if freemen
attended. The Buchananites seemed to
play the dog to Slavery to the very last.
Herbert of California, the murderer Of
poor Irish waiter, was Delegate to the
Cincinnati Convention, and voted for Bu-
chsnan and Breckenridge.

NEW HAVEN, VI, June 4, i60n.
Messrs. Editors-The prediction in my last
in reference 10 the election Of a U. 8. Senator
BY our Legislature, is verified. Hon. James
Dixon was elected BY handsome majority on
the first ballot on Wednesday of this week.
Mr.. Dixon's precedents, while Member OF
Congress, are sufficient guarantee that Con-
necticut will be ably represented, and his
unwavering attachment to the principles of
Freedom, and especially now to freedom in
our Territories, is assurance sufficient that he
will stand by the side of Simmer and Hale.
and the Ruffians will have at least one more
head to bruse before they have crushed out
freedom of speech and subdued with pistols
and gu,ta-percha canes the men they are
unable 10 cope with in argument.
brief account of the retiring Senator and
the Connecticut Democracy. may not be unin-
terestlns at this time. Six years ago, Mr..
Toucey was elected, and served quietly but
suppose TO the best Of his ability until the
introduction Of the Nebraska Bill. when the
Legislature requested him TO use his efforts
against the passage of that Act. Contrary TO
the wishes of his constituents and the express
instructions of the Legislature of the State he
represented, he went headlong roR the Bill!
The only excuse for his conduct is that he
was elected by the Democrats, and that being
Democratic measure he was obliged TO sup
port it. Yon have seen the result of his wick
edness and folly. He retires only to be rem
embered as the man who arbitrarily and viii
fully misrepresen,ed the people of Connecti-
cut, and who aided in perpetrating the greatest
wrong that ever befell our country.
was not litile surprised to find that after
Mr.Toucey's very shameful course-shamefui
for New England man-he still found sup
por'ers here, and at every ballot for Senator
every Democratic vote was cast for him thus
have the Democrats of Connecticut committed
themselves fully. They endorse the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, together with It's
long train of evil. of which 'civil war with lis
horrid train of fire and slaughter carried on
without the slightest provocation against the
infant settlements of our brethren on the
frontier Of the Union. and the worse than civil
war at the Capital" are not the only conse-
quenceS. QuINcr.

BANKRUPT The worst failure Of
last week, was that Of Pierce, Douglass, d.
Co, at Cincinnati, dealers in negroes, ba-
yonets, and guita peicha canes. Their
credit has for long time been low, their
reckless acts and thrittless spcculations
having lost them all confidence with good
men and altho' they clustered Of their
wealth, and held high heads, yet the Dem.
ocratic Exchange found on investigation
that they could not pay 25 cents on the
dollar, and cashiered them. Their paper
is heavily endorsed BY Buchanan, Brcch-
enridye 6 Co, who they have chosen as
their Assignecs, but who-already stagge-
rug under load Of unproductive Kansas
bouds-must 60 by the board and prove q
total wreck.
