 For President, J JAMES BUCHANAN, OF PENNSYLVANIA. For Vice President, JOHN c, BRECKENRIDGE OF KENTUCKY.

OF KENTUCKY.
 The above ticket is the result of the action of the National Democratic Convention. We bring out our democratic rooster in honor of the announcement. A better ticket could not have been selected.
 The following article from the Memphis Appeal expresses our own sentiments so we'll that we adopt it as our own, and give it in full:
 "The great democratic party of the country have uttered their potential voice as to their preference for the next President and Vice Pre- sdent of the United States; and the result fully iustifes the confidence of the country in their wisdom, discretion and patriotism. JAMES BUCHANAN, of Pennsylvania, and JOHN c. BRECKENRIDGE, of Kentucky, are the nominees of the National Democratic Convention for the two highest offices of the country BUCHANAN, PIERCE and DOUGLAS, were the three promi- nent candidates before the convention for Pre- sident, and so high was the trust reposed in each of them, that the nomination of either of them would have been greeted with enthusi- asm. PIERCE has proven himself true to him. self, to the democratic party and to his country his administration has exemplifed all that is glorious in the state rights creed-he has met the just expectations of his party and of the country in his administration of the govern ment.
 His re- nomination therefore would have been heartily approved and triumphantly ratified at the ballot box. DOUGLAS, too, has entitled himself to the gratitude and love of the whole country by his bold, skilful and chivalrous de- fence of the true principles of the Constitution and the Union, against the vulgar but formida- ble assaults of a band of shameless traitors at the north, whose vocation is agitation and an- archy, and whose aims are the overthrow of every conservative element in our government. H ad he been nominated, the earth would have trembled with the shouts of welcome
 Mir. BUCHANAN is more experienced states nomination. For half century he has been associated with the government in high posi- tions. He has rendered distinguished services to the country, both at home and abroad He was the companion and compatriot of JACKSON, CALHOUN, WEBSTER and CLAY, and the first cabinet officer of POLK. Iu all stations and under all circumstances he has demonstrated capacity as q statesman of the highest order, administrative ability equal to any of his asSo- ciates, and talent for negotiation which is re- spected and acknowledged by the first states men of Europe. His statesmanship is ripe, with an amount of long and eminent service, l with lofty dignity of action, with calm and profound wisdom, and with even firmness of temper which invites the country 10 his support, and g ives sure guaranty that the scales of the government will he evenly poised ill his hands, that prosperity and tranquility will prevail, that the south will be secured in her constitutional rights, that traitors and seAi- tonists will receive the just reward of their demerlts, that every citizen of the United States, whether native or naturalized, will be protected in his person and property, that the freedom of conscience will be sacredly main- tained, that foreign nations will scrupulously respect the administration, and that the Con stituton and the Union will be upheld in all their purity, strength and unity. The petty attacks of his opponents will be as arrows of feather against character whose coat of mail is that of great public usefulness and unblem- ished private purity.
 This nomination will kiudlc the democratic fires of old democratic Pennsylvania to such a fervency that their heat will be felt throughout the States of New York and Ohio, and their 1 genial influence will excite glow of enthusi- asm from the northern hills of Maine to the southern cape of Florida. The probabilities are that he will carry the four large States, in conjunction with the entire south, to say noth- ing of a large majority of the small northern States. The whole country can but feel that the delegates to the convention have discharg- ed their duty nobly-it only now remains for the people to ratiGy their nomination at the ballot-box, and we can then repose in conscious security, at least for the next four years | Mir. BRECKENRIDGE the nominee for the | and talented sons of old Kentucky. Twice has he represented the Ashland district in the Congress of the United States, defeating two of the most prominent men of the old whig party and worthily sustaining the reputation of his distinguished predecessor the gallant HEN BY CLAY, by his eloquence, chivalry and lofty bearing, and by at once assuming the position of the leader of the democratic party in the House of Representatives.
 Though young in years and limited in ex- perience, he more than supplies the deficiency by his ardent and uncompromisng devotion to the great principles which underlie our nsttu- tions, by h;s quick and ready perception of the right, by his bold and lofty eloquence, and by the calm aud conscious ability which placed him at one bound into the front rank of the rising statesmen of our country.
 1 We this morning fling to the breeze the time- honored banner of democracy, unsoiled by fa- naticism, unstained by bigotry, unpolnted by treason, with every star brightly irradiating some glorious memory, and with the emblem of our freedom proudly gazing on it's folds, whereon are inscribed the names of JAMES BUCHANAN, of Pennsylvania, for President, and JOHN c. BRECKENRIDGE, of Kentucky, for Vice President It will again wave over the Capitol"
