Ny. Buchanan-s Acceptance.


Ny. Bachanan-s Acceptance.
Welay before cur readers this morning
the letter OF janis Buchanan in reply to
the notification If his nomination made 10
HIN by the committee appointed for tha;
purpose. We invite attention and scrutiny
to every word and letter Of this most impor-
iant public document. Patriotism and sin
cere devotion to the principles Of the Ma
tional democracy breathe IN every line, and
10 man who loves his country and desires
her prosperity and greatness can rise from
rs perusal without hearty endorsement Of
its noble sentiments, and hope that the
writer Of such a document VIII live long to
preside over a harmonious Union; restored
uuder his administration to peace At home
and honor and good repute abroad.
He was Californin's first choice, as he was
of the whole people Of the Union. His long
experience in the service Of his country, has
given ample proofof his ability and devotion,
and now with the irosts Of time on his brow,
it is proper that the people Of this great
confeleracy should call him to the Execu-
tive chair. 10 guide aud direct the aff,irs Of
the nation THIS high post Of honor
and usefulness cannot be more ably
filed. The fell spirit Of disanion is abroad,
and our glorious Union is agitated by inter
nal iissensions, and wisdom and experience
and energy aad frmnsss, are necessary to
Guide and control to conceive and to exc
cnte. lie IS a mau whose long career Of USE
fllnoss IS the best assurance that the people
can rely upon lim with the most implicit
conf lenea. HIS position upon the great
national issues. are as sound and impregna-
jle as the provisions Of the constitution it.
se., and his whole course is as free from
sectional objections as that Of any true pat
riot and lover Of his country can be. Around
his standard viii rally the patriot, and the
conservative and Union-loving men of the
nation
The gallant Kentuckian, john C. Breck
curldge. has been nominated for the Vice
Presidency Although his nomination was
not expected by men in California. We have
heard bpt one sentiment expressed with re-
gard to him, and that is, that mo purer na-
tonal or better man could have been cho-
sen lis name Is not unknown to his coup-
try. for he has received the united applause
Of lis native State. and as statesman he
has figured conspicuousiy at the forum Of the
nation. NJ man was ever nominated with
more enthusiasm, and no man viii uphold
the banner Of the national democracy with
more eloqpencc aud feryor.
The Ticket presented by tAe National dem
ocrahc convention is indeed, popular one,
and they have adopted a platform upon
which ali can unite. This platform was
adopted previous to the nomination Of the
can .;iates for President and Vice President
and II was with the certain knowledge that
those candidates endorsed every principle
therein embrace /, that they were selected
as the standard bearers of the democratic
flag in the approaching election. Every
conservative man in the North and in the
South. every man desirous Of perpetuating
the union through the maintenance Of the
sovereignty and rights Of the States, every
man 1shoiu insists upon the Federal govern
ment's prompt discharge Of its duty in re
