National Conventions, that their own cherished
statesman is not NOW their first and only choice.
They have placed their own record, from the
dawn of American Independence to the present

chosen candidate, extending through period
of nearly forty years public service, fairly, and

ings of others, before their political brethren OF
other States, and ask that those records be read
and maturely reflected upon.
The Declaration of the Pennsylvania De,
mocracy, however, that it "has NOW no second
choice" meets with the great displeasure of the
managers in President making who so Gerry
sincerely lamented the absence of such feeling
in lS4S and 1852. They now denounce it as
the very excess of indiscretion, and manifest
the greatest concern about the injury it may
inhict upon the distinguished Pennsylvania.
Are they not, as we have said at the head of
this article, "cery hard TO please?"

We sometimes receive information from

In conversation, few days since, with lead.
ing Republican, he remarked, with great glee,
that old Buck was dead, that it was all arranged
for the nomination Of Judge Douglas Ifthis
be true, then we apprehend the strict neutrality
of the Union has made terms for itself But
how the deuce Republicans found out these
things is strange enough.
Judge Douglas has claims for a nomination
beyond question--but by what right or author
ity the whole body of delegates favoring General
Pierce are thus in advance transferred we
know not, nor are we prepared to believe that
any one is authorized to make the declaration.
We trust, however, that the result at Cncn-

but liveth, and liveth to scourge all these vio-
lators of the Constitution.

HON. j. CLANCY JONES, In REPLY TO

We publish, in another column, the reply of
Hon. ]. Clancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, to his
colleague, Hon. Henry NJ Fuller, who had ia.
ken occasion to make an assault upon the polit-
ical consistency of Mr.. BUCHANAN, in the House
of Representatives. Although it might well be
deemed waste of time and space to furnish
any rejoinder to the current mountebank at
tempts, made to deface the pure record of Mr..
BuCHANAN's political career, yet, as Mr.. Fuller
represents district of the great State of Penn
sylvania, in the United States House of Repre-
sentatves, we cannot but feel grateful to the
distinguished son of "Old Berks" for his able.
clear and manly expose of the futiity of the
charges made by his colleague of the infected
district of "Wilmotism." Mr.. Jones presents
facts from the authoritively published record,
with which be demolished, piece after piece, the
whole coinage of Mr.. Fnllcr's prolific brain,
leaving not a vestige behind upon which to
hook pin or fasten ribbon. What will the
opponents of the distinguished American States

The Question OF verscity Between Mr..
Buchanan and Lord PaImerston.

The President communicated to the Senate
on Wednesday additional documents relative to
British recruitments in the United States wholly
involving the question Of veracity between Mr..
Buchanan and Lord Pamerston. Mr.. Buch.
anan charges that Lord Palmerston, while
refusing to lay on the table of the House of
Commons the correspondence on that subject,
stated such facts only as favored his own side,
and entirely suppressed the reasons on which
our demand for the recall Of Mr.. Champion and
the British Consuls was founded.
Mr.. Buchanan says that Lord Palmerston
was not justified in stating on that occasion
that he Mr.. b. had expressed himself salts
fed with Lord Clarendon's explanation con-
tanned in the note OF the 10th of July last, and
that Mr.. Buchanan said he felt confident our
Government would entertain similar feelings
with regard to it. Mr.. Buchanan denies that
he ever so intimated. He merely observed 10
Lord Palmerston that he would have much
satisfaction in transmitting that note TO the
Secretary of State, Lord Palmerston replying
through Lord Clarendon that be fails to be
convinced, and saying that it seemed to him
that there was no essential difference between
the substance and the effect Of what was said
in the House OF Commons and Mr.. Buchanans
statement.
Finally, Mr. Buchanan, under date Of March
7th, says 10 Mr.. Marcy: "You must believe
with me that the last effort of Lord Palmerston
to exiricate himself from the dilemma, has
served to make the awkwardnessof his position
still more conspicuous"

bdS-A sailor having purchased some medi-
cine of a celebrated doctor, demanded the
price.
"Why," says the doctor, "I cannot think
Of charging you less than seven shillings and
six pence"
"Well, Ill tell you what" said the sailor,
"take off the odd and III pay you the even"
"Wel," said the doctor, i've won't quarrel
about trifes."
The sailor then put down a sixpence and was
walking off, when the doctor reminded him of
his mistake.
"No mistake at ALL sir--six is even and
seven is odd all the world over, so bid you
good morning"
BE off" said the doctor, "it is a sell-but

~ Mr.. Francis p. Blair and Mr.. Andrew

warm friends Of General Jackson, to have been
perfectly familiar with his views, and to have
shared like brothers his society and affection.
Now, Mr.. Donelson declares that if the Gene

while BLAIR as stoutly insists that were Old
