From the Pennsylvanisn Of the 24ih instant.
Strength or Mr. Buchanan.
We promised, yesterday, to publish a number
of extracts from private letters, received from
various portions of our Union, to show the
opinion entertained by intelligent gentlemen
as to Mr.. Buchanan's great strength as can.
didate in all quarters Of the country. 1, will
be seen that the most unbounded faith is felt
in his election, if nominated, while doubt
rests upon the chances of all other candidates.
No one, in the least conversant with the feel
ings which animate the masses Of our country
men, can doubt the superior strength Of Mr..
Buchanan over any one of his competitors.
This fact speaks with prophetic voice. 1t can
not nor will not be hidden from the ken Of man.
There are times when the mind of whole ma
ton becomes sober and reflective and sees
that which will be Of general benefit with un
delusive vision. Such now appears to be the
case. The excitement springing from high
mental irritation, which gave vigor to Know
nothingism is passing away, as was seen at our
municipal election, and it requires but an ordi-
nary degree of caution in our Presidential
nomination to consign that abomnation, and
its cognate ally, Abolitionism, forever to the
tomb. With Mr.. Buchanan as our candidate,
we shall be successful, not only over the nominee
Of the combined factions, but also over the

will then be set at rest, and although we do
not look for political millennium, we at least
feel satisfied that the all-absorbing questions of
the day will sink to rise no more. The great
experience, and sound practical wisdom Of Mr.
Buchanan, are what the whole country now
wants to prudently carry US through the pre-
sent difficulties; and reestablish harmony in
every section of our Union. The extracts
given below, show the opinion entertained of
Mr.. Bucbanan's exalted character as a states.
man, and his safety as an Executive officer.
These sentiments are universal, and point to
him with unerring certainty as man who
should receive the Cincinnati nomination
OHIO, May D.
Let me assure you that the great body of
Democrats-the masses-are warmly attached
to Mr.. Buchanan. His nomination will secure
the entire strength of the Democratic and old
line Wing votes in this State. If politicians
desire his defeat, the people demand his nomi-
nation and the former must bow to the voice
of the latter.
OHIO, APRIL %
Since meeting you last, / have received letters
from various quarters of our State, and all
show that Buchanan is clearly the first choice
of nine-tenths OF the Democracy. may add,
of a very large and respectable portion of the
old Whig party.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, April. 81. -
The nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan will secure
perfect triumph for Democracy and principle
in this State. The very name of Buck" of
the State of Mines" is synonomous with
strength and victory.
OHIO, APRIL A.
The mass of the people of this State are for
Buchanan, and the universal opinion here is,
that he will make the election dead sure thing.
The Abohtionists are fearful of his nomination,
because they know that he will concentrate the
strength of the national men of the Union, and
that with him we can carry the State of Ohio
over any Black Republican by a large ma
jority.
sa OHIO APRIL 80.
Public sentiment is so strong in Ohio for
Buchanan, that our delegates will not cast the
vote of the State against him, unless they de-
termne to take issue with the people.
oHIo April. Q.
Things throughout our State look well. |
know that Mr.. Buchanan can carry Ohio over
any other opponent that may be run against
him. The sentiment of the State is overwhelm.
ing in his favor.
NEW YORK.
Old Buck has really been nominated by the
people The question is whether that nomina-
ton shall be confirmed, or another shall be
made by politicians. The present position of
our country requires that we should have an
able, consistent, and withal respectable and
honest man at the helm, and / believe that it
will be supplied by Mr.. Buchanan, who will be
nominated and elected.
CONNECTICUT MAY S.
Buchanan is the man of all others for the
times, and God grant for the sake OF the coun.
try that be may be nominated. He is the
choee Of the people not only of this State, but
CONNECTICUT, APRIL Ia.
NY sympathies are with Old Buck. and so
are those Of a majority Of the Democrats in this
State. In my opinion Buchanan is the only
invincible candidate. He is the choice of the
Democracy Of our State. We have made a
grand fight here, our troops are in excellent
order, and If he is nominated at Cincinnati,
Connecticut will undoubtedly cast her electoral
vote for him.
CONNECTICUT, APRIL IT
The sentiment is universal among the De-
mocracy Of this State that Buchanan is the
man and the only man-with him we can carry
the State sure. The political tide is turning
in our State, and setting in with irresistible
force and strengthen favor of our party. and
nothing aids it more than the expectation that
Buchanan Is to be our nominee. Prominent
Wings publicly avow their purpose to vote for
him assuming that he is TO be nominated.
