high official duties as Judge Ct the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania.
1t may be added that from the date Of Gen
eral Jackson's message OF January, 1888, a.
Cainst South Carolina notification and secession,
until that of his own message Of December,
1860, and indeed ever since, no public man has
more steadfastly and uniformly opposed these
dangerous and suicidal heresies than Mr. Bu-
chanan Had any person. IN or out ofthe Cen
vention, dared to make 2 pledge in his behalf,
on this or any other subject, sach an act would
have been condemned few davs thereafter by
the terms of his letter accepting The nomination..
In this, after expressing his thanks, for the hon
or conferred, he says that, ''Deeply sensible or
tho vast and varied responsibility attached t.
the station, especially at the present crisis IN
cur affairs houe carefully TJraiaed fran
seeking the nomination either6y egord or desa ;"
and this statement is empAaticai!y trae.
4 few words in regard to the alleged dead
lock- in The Cincinnati Convention at the time
of its adjournment, on the evening Of the 5th
Of june, af,er fourteen ballots had been taken
for cal4ijate. II appears from its proceed
;ngs, az officially published, that Or each Of these
ball9tings, Mr. Buchenan received a plurality,
and on the sixth attained majority of all The
vote Of the Convention, but not the required
two-th;rds. On the icurteen;h ard last ballot
of that evening. the vote stood 1924 for Bu-
coanaa; IS FOR Fleece SO for Douglas, and
for Cass. This being Tie state OF Tic case.
when the Convention assembled the next .gorn-
iu2 the New Hampshire delegation Withdrew
the namo Of General Pierce and the Illinois del
e-ation Withdrew that of ) udge Dopglas, in O.
5edience 20 instructions from name by telegraph
on The day before The ba.lotings had commenced.
After this the nomination of Mr.. buchanan
seemed to be a matter OF course. He had ney-
eg heard Of dead lock" in the Convention or
anything Ike 1t, until he read the article in TIE
Post
1t may be proper to state that Col. Samuel
w. Black of PIttsbucg was a delegate 10 the
Cincinnati Convention from fennsy ivania, ard
being wei known asa ready and eloquent speak
er, ''shouts were raised for speech from him,
Immediately after the nomination was annOun-
ced 10 these he briefly responded in an able
aai enthusiastic manner. From the identity
Of their surHamss. had this response, reported
with the proceedings, contained the Infamous
pledge attributed TO Judge Black, or anything
Ike 1t, we might in charity have inferred tha:
the authof GI ms article nad merely mistaken
the one name for the other. But there is moth
ing in what Col Biac!, said which afTgTd3 the
least color for any such mistake.
Col. Black afterward sealed his hostility to
Secession Win his blood. Al an early stage Of
the war, be fell mortaliy wounded on the field
Of battle while gaiIanlIy leading on his regiment
against the rebels.
doa5t not you viii chaerfully do me justice
b. publishing this letter; ana would thank
You for cepy of the paper containing it
Yours, very rspt'y.

REVOLUTION in PERU.

A revolution has broken out in Peru,
which is stated to be of formidable APP
pearance for the Government of Lima,
On the 2Sth of March Colonel Pardo,
the Project of Areguipa, aided by the
chief officers of the troops il that city,
numbering I,0O0-men, began the move
ment by a public declaration that Gene
raj Prget had ceased to be chief Of the
Republic by his violation Of the Constitu-
lion and laws Of the country 10 having
concluded d treaty in January last with
the Spanish Admiral. All were invited
to join this movement, and to place at
the head OF the Government the person
legitimately entitled to the presidency.

clear the Custom house at a discount OF

likewise obtained of so, 900 doIs. more,
sent by the Government in one Of the
Peruvian ships for the payment Of the

fell in also, and, under the influence Of
Montero, two vessels of the Peruvian
fleet were handed over to The newly self

from CalIao to africa before the outbreak,
andi it was supposed thatshe hadsided with
Montero. An attempt at a rising was
made at Bella Vista, near Callao, which
was put down with considerable loss Of
life. On the evening Of the 5lh Admiral

"An other years experience confirms the

only 105 children on the list, but he also writes
