which causes this unwise demonstration of
partially, its avowal with purpose to influence
the Northern Democracy, is in the highest de-
gree injurious to the best interests Of the South
and well calculated to endanger the success of
the Democratic party in the coming contest
We will not accuse of improper motives all
who have thus, inconsiderately, urged upon the
North their special personal preferences, but
we may say that indiscreet zeal is oft as DANCE
rous as genuine treason.
We hope to see on end Of these demonstra-
tons, for to what possible good do they tend ?
What matters it to the Democratic States
Of the North, whether this Southern State pre-
fers Douglas, another Hunter, others BUCHANAN,
some Rusk, some General Pierce, some Colonel
Davis, some Wise, and SO on. None Of these
preferences should have any weight with the
Democratic States of the North--for the ques-
ton of the contest is,-who do the Northern
Democratic States prefer? That and that alone
is the question, because, no matter who is Sc
lected, the entire South, without regard to per-
sonal preferences, will be unanimous in the
support of any sound nominee; but it does
matter who the Northern Democratic States
prefer-.tor their preference hang pictorg or
defeat.
This being undeniable, what sound motive
can actuate any Southern man to thrust his
preference before the Northern Democracy to
inf thar LII. &c =
man who is to carry the North?
In these demonstrations, one thing is very
remarkable: the parties who are thus eager to
proclaim their personal preferences, and to
thrust it upon the notice of the Democracy

| their zeal, certain benefit Far be it from us
to charge upon all who are thus over.zealous
of being actuated by a knowledge of this fact
but the coincidence is singular, and involves in
one common distrust the calculating who dc
thus expect immediate reward, and the warm.
hearted, whose zeal and real personal prefer.
ence get control of their judgment
We have seen from no quarter, even pre-
tended justification of this most dangerous
policy on the part Of Southern gentlemen.
| 1t is entirely immateral to the success Of the
coming campaign, whether the South prefers
Paul or Apollos but it is of the very essence
of success who the Democratic States of the
North prefer.
If some of our Southern friends would bear
this fact in mind, it might not only relieve
themselves of a good deal of engineering to
get blast up, but would make them much
more useful, and certainly would relieve our
Northern friends of much untimely and dis.
tracing suggestions.
We may refer to this matter again.

from New York to Philadelphia was a perfect
ovation. Mr.. Buchanan left the wharf, in
New York, for Jersey City, at u o'clock.
While crossing the river, Alderman Ely, The
Chairman Of the New York Committee, dc.
livered Mr., Buchanan over to the Philadelphia
Committee Of Citizens. In doing this, Alder.

address to Mr.. Buchanan, in which he thanked
him for the high honor he had conferred upon

and especially in relation to the important ne.
gotiations which he has lately conducted at the
Court Of st. James, in which he has maintained
the honor Of his country, and respected the
right Of sister nations.
Mr.. Buchanan replied, by thanking Alder
man Ely, as the representative Of the citizens
Of New York, for the high honor with which
he had been greeted on his return to his native

Mr.. Randall, the chairman Of the citizens OF

ARRIVAL OF MIR. BUCHANAN.

| The safe return of Mr.. Buchanan to his ma
tive land, after an absence of several years on
an important diplomatic Mission, will doubtless
afford sincere qualification to his many per
sonal and political friends.
That be has ably and forcibly represented our
Republic at the Court of ST. James, is admitted
by all his fellow-ctizens. 1t was his fortune
to be obliged, during his official mission, to
expose and unmask the rapacious and aggrcs.
sive policy evinced by Great Britain, in her
commercial and political intercourse with the
States of Central America, and that he tri.
umphantly succeeded, is everywhere conceded
OF all living American Statesmen, Mr.. Buc-
hanan assuredly possesses the utmost raried
and thorough knowledge of the tortuous and
aggressive policy adopted and pursued by the
British Ministry, toward the feeble republics OF
Central America. His able and transferable
letters to Lord Clarendon establish the truth
beyond CARL or controversy. The papers is.

ments aad invasion in the region mentioned,
conclusively demonstrate his intimate famili.
arity with all the outrages perpetrated BY
Great Britain on the territorial sovereignty OF
the late Captain. Generally Of Guatemala, from
the seizure of Roatan, in 1872 to the capture
Of San Juan del Norte, in ls4s.
Whether the particular subject under discus
sion had reference to the understandable extern
sion Of the wood-cutting and fruit-gathering
settlement of Belize; or to the aagitous seizure
and colonization Of the Bay Islands on the
northern coast of Honduras; or to the pre-
tended protectorate nsto assumed by the Crown
Of Great Britain over the Mosquito Coast and
its debauched savage inhabitants, our late En-
voy was ever prepared with high historical au-
thority, to checkmate and effectually defeat
English rapacity and English diplomatic Gun.
ming. That Mr.. Buchanan is possessed Of the
varied knowledge we have ascribed to him il
abundantly demonstrated in his late official
correspondence with the British Foreign Office.
Every statement put forth by Mr.. Buchanan
in his letters to Lord Clarendon, regarding
English invasion and encroachment in Central
nmciIShJ ieSaS otcuiciy Oh TctuOe historical
data. Not one was shaken or invalidated by
the British Minister.
The prominent and most talented members
Of our National Senate, without a dissenting
voice, have borne their testimony TO the high
and mastery ability evinced by our late En-
voy, in conducting his correspondence with
Lord Clarendon. This is no common praise.
In view, therefore, Of the high appreciation
placed upon his merits as statesman and
dipomatist by the most enlightened of bis fell
low countrymen, Mr.. Buchanan may point TO
his recent official correspondence with Great
Britain, respecting Central America, with the
fullest confidence, that it will be found to con.
tain conclusive evidence of the many acts Of
wanton aggression committed BY England on
the dignity and sovereignty of the States of
Central America.

THE wAsH1NGqoN SENTINEL.

We have received 50 many letters of encour-
agement for our conduct Of the Washington
Sentinel during the last two months, that it
would seem churlish not TO respond to them.
1t would be vain to attempt to do SO, by sepa-
rate letter to each friend, and we therefore
take this mode of returning them our thanks
for their good will and efficient aid in our enter
prise.
The subscription list Of the Sentinel has in
creased in the last few weeks beyond our most
sanguine expectations, and we have n conf
dent expectation Of being enabled within q
short time 10 return to our daily issue.
In the mean time, We beg our friends to con
tinue their kind offices towards US, and vi
promise our best efforts to deserve them.

This great State, as modest in her preten-

When the question OF the Presidential Candi-

Georgia has received less notice from the

AMERICAN PRIvATEERING- ANSWER TO THE
EUROPEAN CoNGREss.-Sew York. Aug. IL
The Herald CO., day, publishes Mr., Marcy's reply
to France relative to the declaration of the -Four
Powers with regard to privateering. The Pres
ident declines to assent Ia them, but proposes TO
add to the first the following;
And that private property of belligerents on
the high seas shall be exempted from the cap
ture by the armed vessels of other belligerents.
except il be contraband.'
The President in lieu of this is willing to
adopt the Bird or 4th propositions without the
first.
The arguments used are historical and forcible,
He quotes the example of Louis 18th of France
having recourse to privateering.
Mr.. Marcy cites the example of great mari
time power which, under certain circumstances,
could derive immense advantages from the Paris
declaration by making tho commerce of other ma
tions dependent on her mode Of proceeding. and
while avoiding the of the name of England,he
shows that France was unwise in accedng to the
proposition without the amendment proposed by
the Unites States
The following are the propositions contained
in the Paris declaration:
l. Privateerng is and remains abolished.
.. The neutral flag covers enemy's goods with
the exception of contraband of war,
3. Neutral goods with the exception of contra
band of war. are not liable to capture under the
enemy's flag.
A. Bockades, in order to be binding. must be
eflect tive that is TO say. maintained by force
sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of
