Democratic C0nventiOa, No g.
The harmonious Democracy Of this Dis
trict have gotten into a sort Of Snarl. We
do not exactly understand the cause OF
the quarrel. but il seems. to have arise n
about the empty honor of going to The
national nominating convention. Not
long since District Convention was
held at Weston. and Messrs. Lewis and
Carr were appointed Delegates to Gin
c.nnati. Now, two being the whole mum
Der OF delegates to which that district
was entitled. most people thought the job
was done. Not SO. however. On last
Thursday. the 9Th ult.. another DISTRICT

the purpose Of appointing delegates to the
same Cincinnati Sanhedr'm. II was the
slimmest gathering we ever knew, to rep

numerous progeny. Those present. how>
ever, spared NO pains to swell their num-
bers and increase their representative
character. Owing to- peculiar circum
stances. it was especially important tina.

a majority of the Democratic votes in the

Candidates.

We hoist at our masthead. to-day, the
nominees of the Democratic National Con
vention for President and Vice President.
Il is unnecessary for US to say that we
are pleased with the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan. as we long since expressed our
preference for him. Neither need We tell
our readers who he is. as he has been
identified with the history of the country
during the last forty years-haIf of which
time his able advocacy for Democraticprin-
ciples have placed him prominently before
the country as deserving its highest hon
ors. and made him shining mark for the
assaults Of our opponents He is now
Nominated by the strongest political party
in the country for the most honorable po-
si'ion in the world. and is about TO reap
the reward of his invaluable services to
his country. One might naturally snp-
pose that calumny would hold It's peace
and permit him now to gather his hard.
earned laurels. but we have no such ex>
pectations. "Ten Cent Jimmy. now
be rang throughout the length and breadth
of the country. while doleful tales will be
told about the drop of Democratic blood
which we wanted 20 let out of bis veins,
together with countless numbers Of other
exploded elec,ioneering hunbugs.
John G. Breckenridge is comparatively
n young man yet By the strength of his
intellect he has achieved triumphs that
would grace the brows Of the oldest vete-
rams in the Democratic cause. Some
three years ago he was engaged in con
test for Congress in decidedly Wing dis
trict. with one of ablest Wings of Ken
lucky, and by his commanding ability gal
lantIy bore of the prize. being elected by
u considerable majority. Even his com
petitor compIimented him as being the
most talented young man he ever knew.
The platform adopted is decidedly sound
such an one as can be supported by all
national, constitutional men, North CT
Suuth, and, SO far as the slavery portion
Of it is concerned, was unanimously adop-
ted-e"ery delegate from the North as
we'll as the South. voting for it. What a
telling evideAce is this of the nationality
of the Democratic party. There was nc
wrangling and no secessions, but the
whole united delegation. as one man,
without any hesitation or equivoeatioR.
boldly declared that Congress had no
control over the institution Of slavery
that it was peculiarly State institution
and could be settled only by States. On
our foreign policy the platform is decided.
ly what the country endorsing the
Monroe doctrine, and declaring it our du
ty to protect ourselves in the Gulf Of Mex
leo, and our interests in Central America.
No party ever went into contest with a
better platform than that adopted by the
Cincinnati Convention.
We will publish the proceedings of the
Convention nextweek.
