The democratic Nominees.

The choice Of the National Convention has
fallen upon the fa7orlte Of the California
aemocracy-a high minded honorable states
rnan-a pure man, above roproach, and one
whose past honorable career. Is the best
guaranty Of his ability and fitness for the Do
sition to which be has been called by the
action of the Democratitic Convention
JAalEs BUcHANAN, the favorite son of the
democracy of the Old Keystone State, is the
standard bearer Of the National Democracy
for the campaign of 1886. For the first
time, the Democracy Of Pennsylvania, fur
nlsh the nominee for the highest Office in the
gift Of the Republic, but SO thoroughly Ma
tional Is his whole political character, that
his exact location is Of little or nc import
ance, except as a matter Of State pride. The
Democracy Of Pennsylvania. are fortunate
IN being able to furnish a man upon whom
the Democracy Of the nation can so readily
unite. Few National Conventions have been
as harmonious and unanimous in their
closed, and very few have chosen men so
universally popular as the nominees Of the
Cincinnati Convention. Tie nomination Of
BUcHASAN and BREckENrIDor Will be
hailed with enthusiasm in every portion Of
the Union, and DO much towards putting
down the sectional jealousies and feelings
which demagogues and enemies Of the Union
are endeayoring to incite Men who man
age to thrust themselves upon public atten-
tion by the agitation Of sectional issues. viii
ind themselves without occupations. and
VIII be compelled to preach their incendiary
doctrines TO select audiences Of congeuial
spirits. The great mass Of the American
people Will listen to the siren song dissection
al fauatieism 10 more. The great heart of
the Union is now beating in unison, and
pointing with feelings Of confident euthusi-
asm. to the Standard bearers Of the Demo
cratic party.
The Democracy Of California viii respond
with enthusiam to the nominations, and
will roll up majority in their favor in No
vember next, that viii astoni-h all orposi-
tion- With buchanan and Breckeridse, and
the platform adopted by the convention, vic
5ory over all the dangerous isms of the day is
certain
Thepublic 70 Doubt remember how quiet
and still-born fell the announcement Of the
nomination Of Fillmore and Donaldson by
the party Of proscrip'ive principles and in
tolerant religious doctrines. 1t came too
late. The party had lost its power in the
moment of victory. The triumph CT weak
men and odious doctrines before an intelli-
gent people had shivered the party into
fragments, aud scarcely corporal-s guard
could be foun1 to raise a cheer for those who
had been selected as a sacrifice to the lrin-
ciples Of bisotry and intolerance. The peo-
PIE had witnessed the evil effects Of secret
oath bound organizations and could no long
er uphold the doctrines Of political proscrip.
sion and intolerance, against the great prin-
ciples Of GO lality and popular sovereignty. !
They had seen eminent patriots and states
men denied the freedom Of speech; they had
seen armed mobs placcd as judges Of the
elective franchise, and quiet, inoffeusive and
citizens brutally assaulted and F
driven from the polls, for daring TO exer-
Use in a pcaceable manner, the rights Sc
cured to them by the constitution and the
avs; they had seen he bullot box itself
hat sheet anchor Of American freedom
tezed by armel bullies and committed to the .
lanes, or the ballots scattered to the wind
md tramlle led beneath their ruIiian feet
hey had seen race arrayed against race, F
leighborhood against neighborbood, and re
: gion against religion; they had seen men .
lriven by prejudice, intolerance and passion
o deeds Of violence and bioodshed which
icken the heart-sparing neither age nor
ex, and extending even to the sanctuary Of
iod! Is tito be wondered that the nomina-
ions Of the party which has given rise to
.uoA evils should fall listlcssly upon the pub
ic ear or that the announcement Of the (
Of their nominees should pass by /

From a telegaaphic despatch to the State
Journal, dated the l4th, states that meet
ing had assembled to hear the determination
Of the cficers, and that the officers had pos
ihvely refused to resign When the sympa-
,hizers with the meeting saw that the people
were excited and divided, they adjourned
the meeting Immediately The crowd still
remained-some persons boldly expressed
