olose Of the Volume.

With this number closes The first year oil our
connection with the .Democrat." We enter
UNION the second year with bright prospects OF
success, aud we earnestly but respectfully re-
quest The present patrons, who feel on inter-
est in the diffusion Of democratic principles,
and The success OF our glorious standard bear
ers, to assist us in increasing the circulation
of the paper. Each one Of our present sub
scribers, can obtain one additional name, and
though this may seem but a small item, YET
in the aggregate, it would amount to moe
than a Thousand. aud we hope that every ONE
will make an.effort, and do this much for the
good Of the paper and the party. Let the
people be informed, and their hearts will be
with The Democracy and Democratic men and
measures will triumph. On on our part, no
labor will be spared 10 promote the interests
OF the HDemocrat," and through j; the pros
perity Of The CT immunity. No man is perfect,
and as Editors are men, you must not expect
10 find perfection in them. II shall be oul
aim TO discharge our duties calmly, faithfully
fearlessly. On all subjects beyond the lin
its Of our sphere we shall be silent while OF
these that come within, we shall discuss al
may seem best.

How he received Il.

Although Mr.. Bnchanan's nomination has
been received with such tumultuous exultaiion
by his friends, yet he received the news with
perfect calmness. When 1t reached the opera
tor at lancaster he could scarcely wait to pick
up his hat ere he rused TO Mr.. Buchanan's res.
idence, splitting the int diligence by The way
side as he ran. All Lancaster turned out,
cannons were fred, bells rung, and bands Of
music struck up, while a vast concourse formed
in procession and marched 10 pay their re-
spec,s 10 The candidate. The New York Sun,
describing Mr.. BIS residence, says:
Wheatland, the name Of Mr.. Buchsnan,s
residence and farm, is situated just outside oil
the thickly settled portion Of Lancas:er-a
mile and a half, il may be, westward from the
center Of the town. A ridge of higher land
near the house shuts out all view Of Lancaster
and the busy outer world, and renders the place
one II those charming rural spots about which
poets dream. The building is of brick-plair
and old fashioned II sinnls two or three
hundred feet backfrom the roadside in a grow,
of beautiful shade trees. The grounds in from
and The house within are kept in scrupulou!
good order. The soil is extremely fertile-st
much so that the name Wheat-land is an ex
ceedingly appropriate one.

OUR c~ANprDATEs.

Never in the political history ofour county,
were nominations received with more enthu.
siasn than are those OF BocnANAS and Back.
The whole county is ia a blaze Of
inspiring hope and prospect Of success. The
democratic press, north, south. east and west,
hail with delightour g~losious standard -bearers,
and ali over The country immense gatherings
OF the people have assembled to ratiiy the
nominations. The neutral and independent
press ofthe nation do justice to our candidates
and speak in the highest terms Of praise Of
their commanding talents, pure characters aud
spailess lives, and express the conviction that
their success is beyond the possibility Of a
doubt. We can safely say that, all the hon
est, honorable journals Of the country speak
in luudation ofour noble candidates., aud il re-
mains the task Of unprincipleo, dishonest,
foul.mouthed and prostituted journals ,devo,
ted TO what is called the advocacy Of Gamer,
E~ican'' and 'Free Soir' principles, 10 attempt
to villiiy and traduce the fair fame and spot
less reputation OF our gallant and patriotic
nominees. But let these ~jaundiced journals
howl-and let abolition fanatics aud stump
orators prognostieate calamitous effects, The
great popular heart Of the people will have ne
sympathy for their predictions, for they know
they are only fulfilling their destiny, and car
ying out The strongest predictions Of thei
nature, which impels them, hyena like to de
scend to the tomb, and desecrate even Thu
~sanctity Of the grave, if by such q procee
duve there CLEANS forth one ray Of success
But as we have remarked before, all their vii,
attempts viii avail them nothing the people
appreciate their motives and doing so, will
~consign 10 meriled obi ion, the party and it
advocates who in hope Of success stoOp 10 suel
contemplate meanness.
On our first page we have givensome ex
tracts, taken from difeTent papers Throughout
the Union, speaking of our nominees, an
might Gil column sfter column of expression
of approya, and praise Of them, but our rea
ders must be suficsd with but few al pres
ent, for want OF more room. We have th
proud qualification of knowing, however, tina
there are no prrer statesmen, none Of NOR
distinguished ability, more spotlsss reputation
or blsmeless lives in all the broad extent Q
our happy land, and that so certain as III
election day arrives. so surely will our candi
dates, BUCHANAN and BREcKiNRiDcE be eleva
ted by lie free SURFACES Of ;hisfree and happ
people, 10 The high Offices, the du lies Of whic
they are so competent 10 discharge.

More Election Riots.

At The late election in New Orleans, several
precints were disgraced by Know Nothing
riots. Democratic voters were kicked, struck,
thrown down, cursed, and otherwise insulted,
and in many cases prevented from depositing
their ballots by the Know Nothing DULLES who
crowded around the polls, and compe He'd them
10 show their tickets, when they came 10 vote;
il Know Nothing ticket they were allowedlo
deposit it, ifa Democratic, a Know Nothing
ticket was offered, which. if they refused, they
were driven away. Nothing better could be
expected from party whose very inception is
cfime-wbose food and nonrishment are per-
fdy and perjury whose policy is treason
against all the settled principles Of the pub
lie order, as well as the private relations Of
! the people~-whose aim is self, ggrandizement
and whose determination is the overthrow o
all the barriers that religion and law have
thrown around US, and by which We have
been protected in our person and property
and IN their stead, erect q despotism of powe
whose inexorable supremacy is murder an'
desolation. Thank God that this o~rsaniza
ton, whose whole course is marked by rapin'
and murder, is near its end. Il promised u
blessings-ithas given us curses-in place Q
re form we have had oppression instead Q
peace we have had tumull-instead of q bolde
and broader and more liberal American tone
as guaranteed by the authors Of Ibis monsirou
fraud upon public opinion, we have seen
system adopted which can flourish only hyde
ception and IA lsebood. The organization wa
begotten in sin, and will go down in shame
5 as il should.

Cy Cincinnati was visited with the largest
and most. destructive fire on lastFfidny after
noon, tina. has occurred in that city for several
years. Some Twelve or fifteen buildings were
almost entirely destroyed, among WHICH was
the Peoples Theatre, on the corner Of Vine
and Sixth streets, with all its materials. Its
estimated that the loss Of this FIRE will moi
fall short OF $4,000. on which not more than
$50, 600 is insured. The presumption is. that
it was the work Of an incehdiary. rs Tie FIRE
broke out in several parts oftbe bdilting, and

Theatre. Those connected with the ThestIe
are the heavi est losers.
