HoAoway's Pills, on undoubted Rene
dy for Asthma.-Mr. Ellis Wilson, Of
Brooklyn, New York, had for ave years
very severe attacks of asthma, which de-
prived him of bodily rest, night and dsy;
the cough at times almost choked him,
and caused him continually to spit blood,
he was never safe either eating or drink
ing, and his family were distressed beyond
measure to see him gradually reduced to
almost a skeleton. Holloway's Pills. in
this case, were as usual, eficacious. This
gentleman used them for eleven weeks,
and they effected o perfect cure; he feels
himself stronger o than he has been

our readers that the sage of Lancaster is
nominated for the Presidency, by the
Cincinnati Convention. He was nominal
ted by . convention the largest and one
ofthe most harmonious ever assembled in
the Union.
1t is unnecessary for us to dwell npon
the life and distinguished services Of Mr..
BUCHANAN. His character, public and
private, is beyond the reach of calumny.
His life has been devoted to the Constitu-
tion and the Union; and the Uuion and
Constitution.loying. people of the United
States viii bear him to the Presidency
with . majority rarely paraIleled in our
history.
JoHs C. BascxEsn1Dor is native Of
Kentucky. and the youngest man ever
nominated for that Office. He has ser.
we'd in Congress from the district of Henry
Clay. In 1855 he was appointed, by
President Pierce Minister to Spain, but
he declined the appointment.
The Editor of the Statesman says.
Ellis attainments have been wrought
oat by industry, and hc.has adorned the
rare talents nature has. given him. by the
graces Of a rare cultivation
The PLATroRM is full and clear; it's
bolduess in taking an unequivocal position
on every question before the country shows
the confidence with which the Democracy
enter the contest, and their determination
to stand by the right at all hazards.
Want of room compcls us to close our
remarks.

On molten, the Convention proceeded

The name of Brown, of Tenn, was
withdrawn, and the vote cast for Breck-
enridge.
Several other States then changed for
Breckenridge, and amidst excitement
Miss. withdrew Quitman and voted for
Breckenridge.
The vote was then announced a. fol-
lows:
Breckenridge DENOMINATION uuani-
nous and received with immense applause.
Mr.. Breckenridge being loudly called
for took the stand amidst deafening cheers,
and said the result was quite unexpected;
In personal aspect Of it he had no words
to express the profound qualification he
felt to this marked honor and conidence
from the Democratic party Of the q. s.
He did not intend to make a speech, bat
only to return thanks from his heart, for
the honors done him.
After the transaction of some other
business, the usual vote Of thanks Of the
Convention were rendered to the officers
and citizens, and then the Convention
adjourned sine die.
