Pacific, so as to make it the basis of final
settlement Of the question of slavery in the
Territories but when this proposition was re-
jected in lS4S, on the ground that it in
volved an undue concession TO the South, by
the very men who now clamor for a restoration
of the Missouri line there seemed to be but one
wise alternative left, and that was to refer the
whole question of slavery in the Territories
to the people thereof to be regulated as they
may deem proper; and we, therefore, cheer
fully extend our hearty support to the policy
OF the Government as recognized in the com

and Nebraska.
MIR. Buchanan's Reply.
GENTLEMEN: / thank you, with all my heart
for the kind terms in which, under resolution
of the late Democratic State Convention, you
have informed me that am their unanimous
choice for the next Presidency"
When the proceedings of your Convention
reached me IN foreign land, they excited emo
tions OF gratitude which might in vain attempt
to express. This was not because the Demo
cracy of my much loved State had, by their
own spontaneous movement, placed me in nomi-
nation Tor the Presidency--an honor which
have not sought-but because this nomination
constituted OF itself the highest evidence that,
after long course Of public services, my public
conduct has been approved by those TO whom
am indebted, under Providence, for all the of.
fees and honors | have ever enjoyed. In sue
cess and in defeat-in sunshine and in storm
they have ever been the same kind friends to
me, and | value their continued confidence and
good opinion far above the highest official
honors of my country.
The duties of the President, whomsoever he
may be, have been clearly and ably indicated
by the admirable resolutions of the Convention
which you have just presented to me, and all
OF which, without reference to those merely
personal to myself, | heartily adopt. Indeed,
they met my cordial appreciation from the mo-
ment when first perused them on the other
side of the Atlantic. They constitute plat
form broad, national, and conservative, and one
eminently worthy of the Democracy of our
great and good old States.
These resolutions carried into execution, with
an infexibility and perseverance precluding all
hope OF change, and yet in kindly spirit, will,
ere long, alay the dangerous excitement which
has for some years prevailed on the subject of
domestic slavery and again unite all portions
OF our common country in the ancient bonds of
brotherly affection, under the flag of the Con-
stitution and the Union.

Arrival Of the steamer George Law.

The George Law arrived at New York on
the 10th instant, and brings the following in
teresting intelligence:
A severe accident occurred on the Panama
Railroad, on the train conveying the George
Laws outward passengers. Many were killed
and wounded; the correct number had not been
ascertained when the steamer left Aspinwall.
The Isthmus papers are filled with official
documents concerning the Panama riots, but
they exhibit no new features. No additional
names of the killed and wounded are given.
The citizens had formed guard for the pro-
lection of property, and the authorities had
placed force at the disposal of the Railroad
Company, SO that no further violence was an
ticipated.
The correspondence between the Governor
of Panama and Commander Bailey, of the st.
Mary's, is published in full. The closing note
of The latter is exceedingly sharp. He tells the
Governor that his answers are not satisfactory,
and afford no satisfactory assurance of the
safety of the Transit Company's passengers for
the future and that until he hears from his
own Government in the matter, he will take
all measures in his power to avert further
danger.

the passage through could not be effected, and
the passengers were sent back to Aspinwall
Over fifty of them had been wounded, two Of
whom died soon after their arrival. The next

wounded and injured. The latest advices state
that the wreck had not been wholly cleared

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

The steamship Asia arrived at New York,
yesterday, May 10th, bringing dates from Liver

The following are the most interesting items
Of news:
The official report of the proceedings of the

The most interesting feature of the Confer.

shape Of an interchange Of opinions on sub
jects of European interest. Count Walewski
invited this interchange Of sentiment.
Among other things referred to, was the
disturbed state Of Italy. 1t was recommended
that suggestions Of milder rule should be
conveyed to the Italian Governments, in which
suggestions the plenipotentaries generally
heartily agreed. Count Cavour on behalf Of
Sardinia demanded that secular Government
be established in the Roman States, and that
the Austrian troops be Withdrawn. Some
sharp words ensued between the Austrian and
Sardinian representatives, but ended in moth.

ceeded TO discussion Of the new declaration
of maritime law in reference to neutrals, &c.
To all the principles Of this law the plenipo

Letters from Rome state that the eccesias-
teal circles we're panic struck at the Sandman
programme Of Italian reform; and the sudden
departure for Paris Of Monseigneur Berardi
was supposed to be connected with this move

The friends OF Mr.. Buchanan and the Me-

The special friends Of the denomination of

give the impression at the South that Mr.. Bu.
chanan's friends in the North are unsound uuon
the Nebraska Kansas law. Nothing can be
further from the truth. The doctrine Of popu-

original Nebraska men in Maine, and we are
free TO declare that with scarcely an exception
they are strongly in favor of the nomination Of

pened this Sunday afternoon. Three men
got into quarrel with man by the name of

he ran, and was followed closely by them. Hi
ner finally took out his knife, and turned upon

them Perry Weare, received two stabs in the
left side, near the heart, and is not expected to
live. Another, Jack Ware, brother of Perry)
received two blows in the side one in the breast,
and his left arm was cut nearly off, The other,
an 1rishman by the name of Mikes, received
two blows in the breast, and is not expected to

Border Notwithstanding Young Lady's Pr
amo-shey found no Rifles.
LAWRENCE K T., March "a, 1856.
The border ruffians of Missouri seem dis
posed to annoy our people much possible.
Emigrants to this State carefully watched,
md compelled to undergo surveillance hu-
initiating to them. And travelling through Mis-
souri, is rendered very unpleasant and unsafe by
this lawless band.
A few days since, steamer, its way up
the Missouri, was boarded at Lexington, and
searched by this same band of desperadoes.-
After looking awhile. they found a rather long
box, directed to a town in this State their GU
riosity was excited they determined to exam
inc the contents, and proceeded to open the
box. The captain of the steamer then made
his appearance and forbade the examination of
any baggage while it was under his care. The
ruffians, at the word of command desisted for
the present from opening the box. but concluded
| to come on to Kansas City with it, which they
| did
! Soon after it was landed on the levee, and
the captain had left, these brave men pounced
down upon it, pryed open the cover and looked
expecting TO some Sharp's rifles or Yankee
cannon nicely slowed; but imagine their dis
appointment on discovering the contents of the
very suspicious looking box to be nothing more
nor less than Piano forte, which was sent to a
Yankee lady in Asamattomie.
| They concluded TO return at once to Lexing-
ton and report what they had discovered
Emigrants coming every day from North
ern and Eastern States and report many more
on the way, about leaving their homes TO settle
in Kansas. The emigration of freemen to this
State promises to be very large the present
season. But few have yet arrived from the
South. A few weeks since fifty arrived from
/ Georgia, determined to remain here long enough
/ to make it a Slave State, but four -fifths have
already left, gone back, and in a short time
they will doubtless report themselves in Geor-
gia, as having seen the Kansas elephant as much
as they want to. Yours,

A Missouri KANSAS ADvENTURE.-The Buffa-
10 Express gives the name Of the New Yorker
who was so roughly handled on the Missouri
river being mistaken for Governor Robinson OF
Kansas His name is Samuel Taylor
He took the Steamer Omaha at the city OF
Levenworth for st. Louis. 1t happened that
Gov. Robinson and Gen. Lane had taken pas
sage on the same boat their way to Wash
ington. The trip went along very well until
the boat reached Brunswick, Missouri, when
the spies who now infest the steamers, to scent
out the abolitionists, they call them, discov-
cred that Gov. Robinson was on board, but had
not the means of identifying him. The fact
that the Governor of Kansas was there, was
communicated on shore, when party, headed
by son of the Governor of Missouri boarded
the boat and made search for him Soon after,
Taylor was pointed out to them as the Governor,
he bearing some slight personal resemblance to
him. Twas sufficient he was seized and drag
ged on shore, in spite of his protestations that
he was no Governor There he found in wait
ing for him a rope and implements Belonging to
the court of Judge Lynch. The rabble which
had collected on shore demanded that be should
be hung at once as id aboltionist. ana pre-
partitions for such an accomplishment seemed to
be going on with more rapidity than was pleas
ant to cur friend, whc desired to see his friends
in the Umpire State once more. He produced
papers to prove his identity. The first was a
letter from Hon. Thos Corwin of Ohio. This
was sufficient; Corwin was an abolitionist and
so was he 4e ought to be hung for knowing
Corwin. Finally he produced paper from
Robert J. Walker, and some western Governor,
and that seem ed to satisfy the Missourians, that
they had got the wrong pig by the car" this
time. He was permitted to return on board,
thankful for a longer lease of his life, and glad
when the boat showed off, and was once more
under way.
