PHILADELPHIA, June o, 1856.
| Mr.. Editor After a period of breathless
anxiety, the blow has come, and TO some mar
ties, it has been death-to others. life. The
blow is the nomination of Buchanan for the
Office of President The news WIS roco;ved
here by the friends of Mr.. L. in the most cnthu-
shstlc manner; the office the PENNSYLVANIA,
Buchanan's blower, was Illuminated. and wbiskev
liowed IN all the rum holes about Third and
chestnut II appears to be the opinion that cx
ettIons will have to be made of no small cI,r.
actcr, TO secure his native State, If the several
factions unite against him.
| About the most unknd cut ola thatanyo ftbe
asplrants got was the dropping of Stephen a.
douglass. Whatever may be said against him,
he has been more self-sacriiicing than any man
IN the country. He introduced into Congress
the famous Kansas-Nebraska Bill, which pro-
perry belonged TO Atchison, of Missouri
fought 1t up, got it passed, aud based all his
hopes of greatness on that move. Now, in the
| hour OF need, his friends desert him. Repub-
lies are ungrateiul

were conspicuous in the proceedings of the
Convention aud the harmony of that body
was IN great measure preserved by the latter
gentleman.
From present appearances it will not be sur
p:lslng If we have five candidates in the field
the American, Democratic, Republican, Anti
Fillmore or George Law, and independents
Perhaps, the straight, out-and.out Wings NAV
nominate.
Crime has got an impetus from some quarter,
Judging from the police returns. Robberies.
fights and violations of the laws are ALARMING
In some quarters of the city it would be dam
gerous to walk without being armed. So much
for the new reform party.
Horses bring excellent prices Just now, and
the market seems to have an upward tendency.
Draught horses bring from SI75 to $3.50 A.
plece-many exceeding that figure. Carriape
matches, fast, have been sold this spring at
from 5000 to $1,000 per pair. This seems al.
most incredible, yet such is the fact.
Lately mentioned amoug some swindling
concerns, that of Land Companies. During
The past week, officers of several of these con-
Germs have been arrested for embezzing sums
oftrOm $4,000 to $4,000. The losers in these
concerns are generally poor men. Building
Associations are conducted on different princi- |
ples--no chance for stealing.
A great Free Speech Meeting was held on !
friday night at Independence Hall, to take &C.
ton IN the matter between Sumner and Brooks |
Men OF all parties participated, and the tone of
lhe speakers was moderate and dignified. The |
sumner affair gets more ludicrous every dav.
at the extreme ends of the Union. Meetings
are held at the North-canes and other tokens
are sent from the South. The Richmond. Va.
papers, by long articles, show that the people
north OF Mason and Dixon's line, are not cana.
Die OF enjoying freedom. The same tone per.
vades some of the papers at the North i'm re-
Spect TO the South. 1t is an unfortunate affair,
to say the least of it. Although Mr.. Sumner
sala hard things, MIR. Brooks could have retort-
cd and the effects of the speech would now
nave oeen forgotten. As it is, everybody reads
IT, ana Sumner is being mmortalized.
