CALIFORNIA FOR MIR. BUCHANAN.

Convention. Our young sister State has shown
| great wisdom in the choice of her candidate.
She is not disposed to take the risk of defeat
with another person, when she can have q
positive victory with Mr.. Buchanan. California
understands perfectly we'll, that in these trouble
some times, nomination by the Democratic
party, does not amount to an election, and on
this account, she desires to have the strongest
man in the Democratic ranks for candi-
date"
The ball is still rolling. Our young Pacific
sister has spoken in favor Of James Buchanan.
And here, too, is Ohio, commencing her en-.
thusiasm in the most cheering STYLE

mously adopted.
Colonel Biddle briefly returned his thanks
to the meeting, stating that its object was to
support for the nomination for President of the
United States a man who would rally around
him more strength than any other statesman
of the Democratic party. The name of Mr.
Buchanan, he said, meets with more approba,
ton in this country than any other; and il
afforded him great pleasure to preside over q
meeting that would commence the rolling Of
the ball in this great State, which he trusted
would roll on until success was accomplished.
Judge Hart moved that committee o.
seven be appointed to draft resolutions expires
sive of the sentiments of the meeting, which
was carried, and the chairman appointed the
following gentlemen on said committee
Judge Hart, j. McMakin, DR.. George Fries
and DR.. c. S. Kaufman.
After the committee on resolutions had re
tired,
Judge Caldwell was called for, and took tn,
stand. he commenced by saying that he hat
not addressed political assemblage or al
assembage Of any kind, for long time, ant
had not come to the meeting with view O
making a speech, but in common with grea
many, he felta deep interest in the success o
the object of the mceting-that Of the nomina
ton of James Buchanan for the Presidency o
the Union. He believed him to be a man VIII,
would inspire the utmost confidence of the peo
pie. Our country was now prosperous out il
our political affairs there are many elements O
disturbance, making the political action Of tn,
country unpleasant and uncertain. The demo
cratic party is the true National parry, and sue
cess depended upon its perfect harmony. 1t il
matter Of great Importance to have a man
of sterling character, man in whom the peo
pie can con6de, and in these qualities Mr.
Buchanan was pre-eminent The speaker sale
he had not yet seen a man who had not ex
pressed himself in favor Of Mr.. Buchanan, anC
he entertained no doubt but that he is tn,
choice of great majority Of this country. Mr.
Buchanan has been an eminent politician fo
over thirty years. He was in the United States
Senate, associated with Messrs. Benton, Clay
Calhoun and Webster, and others Of profounC
talent; and during that period he stood ,
distinguished man among the distinguished
men of the country, and the speaker doubted j
there was a single one of these statesmen whc
commanded the respect Of the people of the
United States more than Mr. Buchanan. Their,
may be men Of more brlliancy, but where i
there the man who has run the career and beer
so prominent that has that degree of nationality
connected with his character as Mr.. Buchanan
He is a national man, such one as the Who'll,
country would con6de in; man Of talent ant
dignity of character, and free from prejudices
and when the idea Of harmonizing the people
that no nominee North nor South should form Q
civilion-all who had the good Of their country
at heart would come up and support him with
enthusiasm. The speaker, after paying high
compliment to the intellect Of Mr.. Buchanan
said he was the favorite son and had been
presented almost unanimously by the State Of
Pennsylvania, the keystone Of the Union and Of
the democracy. Judge Caldwell paid n bioh
