THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND PARTY
NOMINATIONS,

NOMINATIONS
The party nominations for this city and county are
Honest competent and reliable have been selected
as candidates for the different Offices in the gift of the
people The rules established to guide and control the
action Of the democratic party when selecting delegates
all complied with, and the several conventions pass
ed over in peace and harmony. Whatever disappont
ent might have been felt by particular persons at the
defeat Of men in whose selection they deeply inter
esed has been forgotten and the whole ticket will re-
ceve the unanimous and enthusiastic support of the
party at the polls
1t was not our intention TO have again alluded to the
circumstances attending the late nominating conventions
In this city and county. But single word is necessary
in order to correct rumor which, starting from this
CITY, has reached other sections Of the country and Is cal
culaed to produce false impression. We mean the in
ference TO be legmately drawn from certain newspaper
paragraphs that portion of the democracy of this city
is anagonistic to the administration of Mr. Buchanan
and that this antagon made interesting feature
in the contest for delegates well in the selection OF
candidates in the various conventions.
There is no foundation for such statement, and any
attempt to torture the late primary and nominating con-
tests in city and county into such meaning un-
just alike to Mr. Buchanans administration and the Phil
adephia democracy. There was no hostility to the
national administration manifested In the choice of dele
incident to ordinary primary election of the party
Not single delegate recommended to the sufages
of the democracy because of his opposition to Mr.. Bu-
chanan administration and hence the folly and injustice
of putting in circulation report which has no usioa-
tion in the facts or circumstances of the case.
But If this true with reference to the election of
delegates, 1t still more sgnay and significantly man
fested in the action of the different conventions Each
of these bodies passed resolutions expressing conf
dence in the wisdom and patriotism of Mr. Buchanan,
and approval of those which have been deyel
oped by his administration More than this these reso-
lutions all adopted by unanimous ro, not sign Of
dissent not murmur of disapproval The utmost en-
thusias manifested by every member of the nomi
mating conventions and this feeling was most heartily
sponded to by the mass of the party.
These are facts which will not be disputed. They
speak for themselves and exhibit the real meaning and
import of the late party contests in this city and county
The resolutions proper tribute from the democracy
to Chief Magistrate in whose purity of intentions and
patriotism of purpose they have full confidence This is
the feeling which gives strength to the administration of
Mr. Buchanan among the Philadelphia democracy 1t is
principles they principles which lie deep at the
foundation of party and it. in giving utteance
and support to these principles they chose path not
sanctioned by sefconsttued of party fidelity
and select agents who under the ban OF local
Othclal OStraClSm, Dut whose attachments 10
and the national administration dare be questioned by
any one having decent regard for TRUTH it is neither
fair to the administration of Mr. Buchanan that party
by which he is supported to attempt to create the i'm
preston in other States that the administration is pud
ated by portion of the democracy in Philadelphia, the
metropolis of the old keystone We protest against this
peveion of the TRUTH and glad to chronicle the fact
that the democracy in this region is unit in their sup
port of the national administration.
