A Buchanan Candidate.

The Buchanan men Of Lancaster county, Penn.
sylvania, have nominated for Congress the Hon
Isaac =. Hester, Wing member of the last House
of Representatives. During the debate on tho
Nebraska bill, Mr.. Hester made one of the most
ultra Free-soil speeches against it that was delv
cred in the House that session. He was, in fact
regarded as an ultra Seward Wing in every re-
spect. No Democratic member of that Congress
viii deny this.
What do the Southern friends Of Mr.. Buchanan
think Of such a nomination. What will the Geor-
ga Democrats say when they learn that Governor
johnson and Governor Cobb are advocating in
Pennsylvania, the election of Free-Soil Wing TO
Congress, as the Representative Of Mr.. Buchanan
own DISTRICT
There was time when such nomination would
have been received with perfect storm of indig.
nation by the Southern Democrscy--but since
they have submitted so quietly and meekly to the
nomination Of Buchanan himself effected as il
VIGOROUSLY was, by Frce-soil influence and BY the
personal exertions of Colonel Benton himself they
win probably swallow this dose also without ma
king wry faces, and regard It as mecessory con-
csssion to the Northern Abolitioniss for the sake
Of carrying Pennsylvania.
But even this humiliation win not save Pennsyl-
vania to Buchanan. He win lose the State in 0c-
tober by $4,000 majority, and in November he
will not be known in the contest at all.

Hal HAl-The Louisville Democrat is down on
the Germans, and speaks of them as the tallow-
faced Dutch. The detection Of the talIow-fsced
Dutch of the North accounts for this acrimony !;
but surely It IL strange that any little political de-
velopment on the part of the Germans should sti-
he the intense love and admiration which the De-
mocracy has prosessed to entertain for them. After
November, the American party in the South will
be hundred times more powerful than IL ever
was before.

duct was about five bushels, after the family
