eW- Tho "immense enthusiasm" which
was ordered to follow the announcement OF
the Cincinnati nominations is about hzzled
ont, and we no longer hear the roar of the
great.guns and the shouts of excited multi.
tudes: or rather these have not been heard at
all, and the only demonstrations that have oc.
Cured was the firing a six.pounder at Gin
cinnati, the explosion Of some hnlfdozen
n,okagoo of fire.crnckers in the streets of
NewYork ndPhiladelphia, and an assembling
of few of the faithful around the Presiden.
tial mansion at Washington, among whom
was the veteran Cass and the Little Dou-
glass, for the purpose, no doubt, Of felcitat-
inc the present incumbent on his Notifying
defeat before the nominating Convention
In the Southern States, no gatherings
have occurred, no expressions Of gratidca-
ton have beer heard-in fact, the people
seem to be unusually apatheic and indiffer-
cnt on the subject. Not within our Iecol-
lection has Presidential nomination fallen
SO coldly upon the public ear, or drawn out
so feeble response. 1t is true tho party
journals display unbounded joy with the
nomination, and the village politicians shake
their wise heads and swear "it is just the
thing'-yet further than THE nothing has fol-
lowed to show even that candidate has
been selected.
We do not alludo to the unusual feeling
Of indifference among the people which has
followed the presentation Of the democratic
nominees, in taunting spirit but to put our
friends on their guard against the misrepre-
sentations of the confidence men," who af
feet 10 believe that their candidates will have
nothing 10 do but to walk over the truck, and
who arc rs profoundly ignorant Of the real
feeling among the people, as they are Of the
workings of the government under which
they live, move and have their being. Mr..
Buchanan may be elected, but there are no
indications of such result at present. As
we said last week, he is very clever, respcc
table old gentleman, but the signs ut present
are all clearly against his success. The en-.
thusiasm which followed the announcement
Of his name, ended with the explosion Of the
powder that had been bought IN advance for
the occasion.

A SUGGESTION WITH A MORAL

IRON The N. i. nrrorl
-Four years ago the coming Autumn, Win
field Scott, a patriot and hero, Scared on
many field of battle in defence of his eoun-
try's rights and honor, and whose military
with the fairest laurels, was defeated in a
canvass for the Presidency by Franklin Pierce,
Of whom it has been said since his rejection
at Cincinnati, "he was selected because he
was unknoirn, and rejected because he was
knO'On." And every politician knows that
this defeat was owing chiefly to the demagog
ic cry that Generel Scott would be used by
the agitators of the slavery question if he
were elected, which cry rallied the conserva-
tives to the standard of Pierce.
What a proud vindleation of Gen. Scott
against the damning libel of that cry. lie the
proposition made in the United States Senate
yesterday by Mr.. Crittenden, a Senator from
a slave State. Instead Of Franklin Pierce
having proved the national, non-agitating
President implied by everything preceding
his election, he has. during the three years of
his term, so plunged the country into slavery
agitation, that distinctive sectional parties
are already uprisen, while on the fertile plains
Of the central territory of the Republic, Kan
sas, bloody civil war is at this moment raging
And now, when the administration of this
weak, vain man is closing, the lie that elect
ed him is more than confessed, by the propo-
sition of Senator Crttenden, to employ the
services OF Gen. Scott in pacificating Kansas,
and restoring concord to the Union.
Side by side with the avenging Nemesis
ever walks the rewarding angel. Thus, al
most simultaneously. Franklin Pierce is cast
out by his own party, in spite of his servili-
ties and official patronage and powers, and
Gen. Scott is turned to as the pacificator of
the Union; as the man, in the language Of
Mr.. Crittenden, "whose patriotic, gentle infu.
ence is better than a thousand bayonets."-
All, Winfield Scott, you are avenged The
foul libelers Of the victor of Chippewa and
Lundy's Lane, the conqueror of Mexico, and
the man whose whole life shines out through
half century's service to his country sur
passngly beautiful are at length rebuked.-
Would to G cd the nation had had the wisdom
to do Justice to Gen. Scott in 1852; then, this
bitter sectionalism, fierce agitation and civil
war would never have been.

Pooh PIERoe.-Frank Pierce is certainly
having hard time of it. Not content with
killing him off At Cincinnati, his Democrat
&c trends are stiu peppering him with hot
shot. The NowYork News. the organ of
the Hards, commences scorching article on
him thus:
"The course Of Franklin Pierce is almost
run, and there are few indeed who will re-
gret the close of his administration. He
came into powerin whirlwind of applause.
he goes out amidst storm of derision and
half expressed eAecration. Unfaithiul TO the
principles of his inaugural address, he was
in consequence unfaIhful and untrue to
those interests Of the National Democracy,
to whom alone he should have been true. to
whom alone he should have cling to and
looked for support, and encouragement, and
on whom he could have unhcsitatngly relied
to the latest moment, had he himself been
nncompromiseing in his Advocacy Of true
men as well rs measures"

tY- The Richmond Enquirer and other
Southern papers charge that the New York
Herald, which is out against Buchanan, has
been bought up by the Black Republicans
The Herald is a corrupt and vena sheet,
though conducted with degree of ability
and energy which journals aiming at high.
er standard have not been able TO attain--it
is the leader Of class of journals, some of
which may be found in every State in the
Union, which prosper by pandering to pru
rcnt public taste and flourish and fatten on
human character, while Others, conducted with
some show Of regard for the prophecies and
decencies of life, lingcr, starve and die. Still
the fact that the Herald refuses TO support
the Cincinnati nominee, is no evidence that it
has been bought up by an opposing faction,
or that 1t is more corrupt and venal than
when giving The influence OF its unparallel.
ed circulation to the democracy In 1852,
the Herald labored earnestly for the demo.
cratic party and contributed largely to its
success. II WINS then, in the estimation of
those who now denounce it, n most excellent,
reliable and honest sheet, and you could
hardly pick up democratic paper that was
not filled with extracts from its columns
We nre no apologist for the Herald, but think
the democrats ought not to complain if the
Black Republicans have outbid them for its
columns. There is certainly no more harm
in buying it M now than there was in $50.
The following extract from the Richmond
Enquirer, will serve to show the regard in
which the Herald is now held by the parti.
sans who formerly availed themselves of its
influence to attain power and prey upon The
country:
"Born in brothel and reared among the
inmates of the pententiary, tho New York
Herald winged its way to higher regions; but
in the discussion of affairs Of State, it exhi.
bited the same cruel contempt OF human sen.
sibility, the same sordd impulses and utter
prostitution of principle with which, in the
day Of obscure infancy, it was wont TO pur
sue the doomed victim Of its fendish malice
or Unsuitable venality Nevertheless the M.
per prospered amazingly. The same pms.
sons which impel the vulgar multitude to
gloat over the pages of the Newgate caen.
dar or filthy story Of criminal desire and
bestial qualification, secured subscribers with.
out number for the New York Herald. Il
grew to be n sort of power in politics. Men
conciiated its favor and deprecated its anger,
by contributions to its hoard of stolen and
extorted wealth; and thus its influence and
its riches went on multiplying until it attain
ed its present position of incompatible pow.
er Of mischief"
The picture is, pretty strongly drawn, and
the point is that 1t s very good and amiable
thing to be democrat, and very unnmiable
if not disreputable to be any thing else-a
self.lnudntory conclusion at which political
birots have no difficulty in arriving.

BUCHANAN'S FEDERALISM.

The democracy are complaining because
their opponents refer to the fact that Mr.. b.
chanan started in public life as Federalist.
For twenty years the merc.naries and dirt
eaters Of the so-caIlrd democracy, have per-
sistenty charged Federalism Gas something
very odious aud offensiye,) upon all who
opposed them; and the Hold Federal party"
has been the burthen Of their song through
quarter of century. So constant has been
this cry, that many simple souls have come
to believe That "FederaIist" and "Tory" were
synonymous terms. Ignorance and stupidity
never committed a greater error. In their
day the Federaists were an honorable and
respectable party, comprising some of the
greatest national statesmen Of the country,
who were guided by great national principles,
and to pretend any thing else is to display
degree of ignorance of which any white
man ought TO be ashamed. A portion Of the
Federaists were opposed to the war of 1912
IA; and among them Dir. Buchanan.--
For this, how far they were obnoxious to
censure we shall not now stopto say. 1t is
sufficient 10 know that when the old parties
disbanded and were merged in new political
organizations, many of the old Federalsts at
tached themselves to that one which took
upon itself the title of democratic" and
others to their opponents. When we said
Mr.. Buchanan had been Federallst, We
did not use the term in the offensive sense
formerly employed by our opponents; but
il the Wing party was justly obnoxious to
censure and prejudice because members OF
the "old Federal party" were 10 be found in
its ranks, what ought to be thought Of a par
ty that takes up one of these odious sold
Blue Lights" and dominates him for the Presi
dency! That's one point; and another is, that
whatever prejudices may exist against the
democratic nominee for his Federalism, is moi
charseable in the least to his present polite.
al opponents, but to the former misrepresen.
tations and ISLANDERS of those who now sup.
port him for the Presidency. If our demo
cratic contemporaries would labor to enlghten
their readers, instead'of presenting so much
upon their ignorance, they would not be
brought to the necessity of eating their own
words as often M they are.
