VIRGINIA.
The feeling in favor Of Mr. Buchanan in Vir
ginia, is an evidence that the strength which be
has always had in this State has not declined
within the last four years. We have in Vir
ginia, as you are well aware, number of dis
tinguished gentlemen, some Of whom are named
for the Presidency, and others who have vari
Gus preferences for other men, but Mr.. Bu.
chanan's strength in the State is such that all
interests seem to have given way before the
power of his name You may set down the
fifteen votes from Virginia in favor of James
Buchanan.
In no part Of the country has Mr.. Buchanan's
popularity been more sgnally exhibited that in
Maryland. Nearly all the districts have in
structed for him, or the delegates have ayowed
that he is their first choice. The State dele
gates elected by the Legislature, and the dele
gates from single other district have as yet
made no avowaIs, but there is no doubt that
Mr.. Buchanan will receive the whole vote, if
the majority throws it as a unit, and if not,
that he will get all the votes of the State but
two. 4q M sf8
DELAWARE. t
A very active Democrat writes i" That the
feeling that prevailed in that State in favor Of
General Cass in 1852, has all been transferred
to Mr.. Buchanan in 1856, and in addition to
that feeling large number Of National Wings
have declared in his favor, and il he should be
the nominee, Delaware will 60 for him bysa
larger majority than it has ever gone for any
candidate nominated by the Democratic party"
KENTUCKY.
That Mr.. Buchanan is the strongest man in
Kentucky everybody will admit who looks dis
interestedy at the course of things. He will
rally the whole of the Democratic party, and
nearly all the old line Wings, who cannot vote
with the Know-nothngs, and will not do so, if
Mr.. Buchanan is the nominee The delegates
to the National Convention from our State
prefer Mr.. Boyd for the Presidency, but there
are a number Of gentlemen on the delegation
who avow their preferences for Mr.. Buchanan.
MISSISSIPPI.
A gentleman, long in the public service,
says: "There will be over 500 delegates sent
from Mississippi to the National Convention,
and presume the first vote of the State will
be thrown for our distinguished Chief Magis-
trate, General Pierce, but Mr.. Buchanan's old
friends are on the delegation in force, and you
need not be surprised If he should get the vote
Of the State at an early stage of the balloting.
l can count hosts of men in this State who
prefer Mr.. Buchanan to- any other northern
candidate. Judge Douglas has his friends,
and SO has the President; but the nomination
of Buchanan would be cordially supported by
the Democratic party of the State.
GEORGIA
Considerable feeling is manifested in this
State on the subject of the Presidency. Our
distinguished Executive, Hon. Herschel v.
Johnson, has many active friends Mr.. Nc
Donald is also named in the same connection.
Georgia stood by Mr.. Buchanan in 1852, and
although there is a very strong feeling in the
State for, the President, yet it is manifest that
Mr.. Buchanan has the majority Of the men
upon the delegation from this State. Very lit
tie doubt is entertained on this subject, and
assure you his nomination would be most ac-
ceptable.
The opposition organs admit that the friends
of Buchanan have secured the delegation to
Cincinnati from this State, Judge Douglas
has many warm friends in Louisiana, but the
preferences for Mr.. Buchanan are enthusiastic
and general. The expectation that he will be
nominated, the fact that Pennsylvania has laid
down so sound platform Of principles and he
is SO strong in the North, all 60 to confirm
our people in these preferences.
NEW ENGLAND.
An influential Democrat in Rhode Island,
writing from Providence, states-'I have now
travelled over New England, have been in all
the considerable towns, and have met most Of
the prominent men of both parties, and as
sure you that, without any attempt to exagger-
ate, and you know i am not sauguine man,
the masses in this part of the country are for
James Buchanan, aud nobody else In Boston
/ met prominent Democrats without number
from the different leading cities in New Eng
land, and in every instance the name Of Buch
anan was the first that was suggested as their
favorite for the Presidency. IL i did not know
that you we're in the habit of meeting leading
men every day from different sections of the
Union, should feel fearful lest you might
doubt the extent of the feeling in this region.
Mr.. Bnchanans name is the sign Of success.
could give you the names Of the delegates in
New England, who openly commit themselves
TO him, but that is unnecessary. One in
stance will show you the extent Of the SEN
timent that prevails in his favor. In one Of
the districts delegate was chosen by the
Democrats to the Cincinnati Convention known
to be friendly to the denomination and re-
election Of President Pierce, and after going
around among his people and visiting Bos.

towns, he came to the conclusion that, to be
honest TO his constituents, he must support
Pennsylvania's favorite son. was in Conpec-
ticnt while Governor Bigler, Senator Weller
and Colonel Orr we're addressing the Demo
Gratis there, before the last election, and at
every meeting that was held the preference for
Mr.. Buchanan was paramount. The question
now is, will the Concinnati Convention defer
to this almost universal sentiment, or will they
defyit. Iwould not be astonished to see every
State in New England, excepting Vermont, 90
for the Democratic party If Mr.. Buchanan is
nominated, while it is just as certain to our
mind that, If he is not nominated, the Demo
cracy will be disheartened, and the opposition
will fuse together in every New England State
The terror of Black Republicans and Know
nothings at the idea of Mr.. Buchanan's nomi-
nation is really ridiculous. They will disband
literally the moment it is made, but they con
