As a statesman, ho has been distinguished by the qualities of moderation of temper and sagacity -in council. Without being at all fettered by irrational prejudice 'or obsolete opinion, he is yet. remarkably cautious and conservative in his views of public policy; and, perhaps, it was this trait'of character which more than any othei consideration, de termined the representatives of the Democracy to promote him to the Presidency, in Iv crisis of internal agitation and portentous compli-:" cation in the foreign, relations_ 9f the country.

Esto Perpetua,—Founded, upon the eternal principles of truth and justice, with the consti tution for its guide, the prosperity and perpe tuity of the Union for its aim, says the Wash= ington Union, the Democratic party has so far retained its integrity unspotted and, its power unbroken.

BETA very largo and-tnthu s siastie meeting of the Democracy was held in Washington city on Saturday evening week. The venerable General Cass, and Judge Douglas, the "Young Giant of the West," were among the speakers. When the meeting adjourned, it went to sere nade President Pierce, who responded in a handsome speech, referring to the preference of the Convention as "the preference,lin .this crisis, of every man who cares more for his country than himself." Exhorting the De mocracy to labor in the next canvass he said : "You will bear yourselves,like men determin ed tooling to that sacred instrument (the Con stitution) as the only security from general wreck, and the only refuge from universal ruin." The Keystone Club at Wheatland--Speeeh of Itir, Buchatan. The Keystone Club, of Philadelphia, ac companied by L'ock's Brass Band, arrived-in Lancaster on Sunday, at 11 o'clock; A. and on Monday morning paid a visit to the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, at Wheatland, accom panied by a prodession of citizens to the num ber of two or three hundred: We subjoin the following telegraphic account of the pro ceedings : • Upon their arrival at Wheatland, Win. R. Rankin, Esq.; President of the Club, was in troduced to Mr. Buchanan,• and said that, on behalf of the Keystone Club, over which he had the honor of presiding, he congratulated him as the Nation's choice, adding that the work which is but just begun they intended to carry on- until victory shall crown their efforts. --Mr. Buchanan gave the club a warm and hearty welcome to Wheatland, and congratu lated them not on thii - nomination, but on the privilogcs they enjoyed in being citizens. of this great and glorious Republic.

Ile therefore brought his remarks to a close.• The members of the Club were then intrd the-L4-km-d- -z band playing "Hail to the Chief." Addresses were then delivered by Gov, Price, of Missouri, George W. Coffee, Esq., Col. Forney, of Lancaster city, Wm. B. Rankin, of the Keystone Club, and George Nebinger, Esq.: After partaking of refreshments, Mr. Bu chanan- escorted the club a considerable dis tance on their route back to Lancaster, when he again addressed them. by wishing gOod health, and that God would' be with them.— The President of the club responded in a few words, bidding him a hearty good bye. The Committee appointed by the Dem ocratic National Convention to notify Mr. BucitANAN of his nomination, visited Wheat land, near Lancaster, on Friday last, to per form that agreeable duty. Gen. Ward, the chairman, presented Mr. B. a letter, inform ing him of his nomination, accompanied by a few appropriate remarks. which were replied to in a happy- manner by Mr. Buchanan, who informed the Committee;that:a more full re ply would be given.them in writing.

The Feeling of the People. Never before; in the history of our country, have the nominations . of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency been receiv ed with such unanimity and gratification by the people, as those of JAMES BILICILLNAN, of Pennsylvania, and AIM C. BRECICINIUPG)3, of Kentucky. When we look at the peculiar circumstances which now surround us as a. nation—at the fierce and unholy. war - which is being waged by-fanatical and intolerant-dema gogues against the Constitution—against the rights and liberties of a large portion of our fellow citizens—when, we look (a the inroads they have already made, upon the peace of the people, and the sanctity of our laws, can we wonder that the masses—ever loyal and true —should arise in the might of their majesty, and gather around the champions of, those principles which secure to them the perpetua tion of their liberties? It is a principle of the human heart to seek shelter when danger approaches—and communities and countries throb with the same inbred idea of self-pre servation. Hence, the people, realizing the dangers which threaten the temple of their liberties, look for shelter from that party which has, its life-long, battled - in - defence of the Constitution. It is this motive which has compelled the gallant PRESTOS and noble DicKEssoN, of Kentucky, to fall in love with the Democratic creed; and it is for the same reason that the people will, next November, endorse, with a unanimity never before real ized, the standard bearers of the time honored faith of JEFFERSON.--,Har. Patriot. The Testimony of .a Political Opponent. We copy the following from the Charleston . Courier, one of the most respectable and influ ential of the opposition papers. The Courier, after announcing the nomination of Mr. Bu- CJIANAN for the Presidency, and giving a brief sketch of his life, says : "In December, 1836, he was elected for a full term, and in 184 a, was re-elected. In March, 1845, ho was appointed. Secretary of State by President Polk, which office he held to the close of the administration of that gen tleman. Ills" career in London as Minister Plenipotentiary of: the linked States, under the appointment of President Pierce, is too well known ,to our readers to require further notice—sufficient to say that he represented the interests, of our country with dignity, and maintained;-under difficult circumstances, that respect whirl► every American demands from foreign powers. Mr. BUCHAN" as a politi cian, ranks high, of course, with the Demo cratic party, by whom he is highly respected, and he has probably had less censure cast up on him than is the usual lot of the prominent politician: moreover, he is. respected by all parties in private and domestic circles."

Se—A young lady having been shopping The Democratic National Contention having adjourned on Friday evening, I left Cincinnati on Saturday morning, at 5 o'clock, and arriv ed, at. Dayton, 60 miles, at 7. I soon again "took to the road"--the railroad—and in few hours, found myself at Greenville, the county seat of Darke, some siz or seven miles from the place at which I now write. Greenville is beautifully located, on an ele-_ vated plain, running back for miles from Greenville river. The houses generally are well built, and som e of them costly—the whole town wearing an air of comfort such as is not common in all parts of the west. The streets are wide, and I suppose easily kept in good condition. When they shall have been lined with the stately beech and sugar maple of the neighboring forests—and we see not why it May not be done—the place will com pare favorably with many much older, if not richer, New England towns. Its citizens, and I had the pleasure of meeting a goodly number of them, are clever and large-hearted, so much so as to cause the visitor no little regret at leaving them. This village, "named after the name" of Gettysburg, in the old Keystone, is a neat one, having what appears not to be general in the west, a large proportion of brick buildings. The surrounding - country is also exceedingly attractive, presenting . evidences of unusual fertility and easy cultivation. I am favor ably impressed with Gettysburg and its sur roundings, and could spend here a few additional days with equal pleasure. On every hand I am pointed to the residences of those who hailed from Adams county, "in the east," as they say . here, and upon visiting many of them; find they have forgotten none of that warm-hearted hospitality which has always distinguished the county. of their na tivity. There are here Butts, Morrows, Her ners, Campbells, Keefauvers, Cromers i Reeks, Longs, Kerrs, Stultzes, and many others, whose names do not now occur to me. They all seem - prosperous, contented and happy. On my way hither from Greenville, I was pained to learn of the melancholy death- of Mr. Jour; CRONES, formerly of our county, but who for several years, and up to his death, resided within a few miles of this place. • It seems that a team of four horses took fright and ran off on the bill a short distance beyond his house, and he went out to arrest them. lie succeeded in catching the leader by the bridle, but soon became entangled among the horses, and 'was either struck by one of them or the tongue of the wagon, and so severely injured as to cause his death the next evening. lie leaves a wife and six children to mourn his, sudden death. H. J. S. LA RIJE, Marion co.,Ohio, June 11, 185t1. I took leave of Greenville yesterday morn ing, and returned to Dayton, where, a few. hours being allowed me before the departure of the eastern train, I strolled out into the principal streets.- The city is not only ju diciously located in ti,Thusiness point of view,. but has' attractions which many older places of equal or greater size cannot boast. The streets are broad, level, straight and cleanly, at many points lined with beautiful shade trees ; whilst the buildings are well and taste fully constructed,' And not a few a _- pense. Land in the vicinity is very fertile. At 10,1, A.. M., the train arrived from Cin cinnati for the east, and after the tumbling out and tumbling in of any amount of bag gage, "be the same more or less," the Con , ductor sang out "all aboard !" and we were off—not the track, but on the road to Belle ' fontaine. Reaching this station, (La Rue,) I stepped out of the car, to visit my old Mummasburg friends, limier and Tnome.s MILLER, and the rest of the family. Although unfavorably impressed with' the place when on my way westward, I soon had reason to conclude that "one may easily be deceived by first appear.' ances." It is handsomely situated on the east bank of the Big Scioto river, where the rail road crosses that stream, surrounded by a - tolerably well' cleared country, mostly devoted to grasing. The town is 'but three years old, and will no doubt continue to advance. Its inhabitants, or at least such as I have met of them, are intelligent and sociable, soon taus ing the visitor to feel entirely at home among • them. I shall not forget the many pleasant associations connected with my visit to La Rue, nor the attentions I have received at the hands of many of its citizens, prominent among whom may be mentioned the MILLER and CHRISTIAN MACKLEY, lately of Straban township, Adams county—all of whom, by the .way, appear contented, and well satis fied with their new home. As regards the timber along the river, I will barely mention, that I helped to measure an "elm, within a — sitone'S - throw of the town, which reached twenty-one feet in circumference, and a black walnut nineteen feet in circumfer ence, clear of limbs for the first sixty feet.— They are really fine sapplings, but I am told that even larger can, be found farther down the river.

Great Excitement at San Francisco in Regard. to the Murder of Mr. King, the Editor of the Buitetin--Old Vigilance _Committee Re-or ganized—The Jail Captured and Prisoners Taken Out. NEW ORLEANS, June 11.—The steamer Dan iel Webster has arrived from San Francisco, with dates to the 21st ult., and from San Juan to the 6th. Great excitement existed at San Francisco, owing to a terrible murder which had been committed. A man named Casey shot James - King, the editor of the Bulletin, in the public streets, on the 14th, and Mr. King died two days after—on the IGth. Great excitement ensued. The old Vigilaice Committee called a meet ing, and placards of an inflammatory nature were posted calling on theeitiiens to take the law into their own hands. On Sunday, the 18th, some three thousand citizens, complete ly organized into division* and companies, armed with muskets, marched by three separ ate streets from the committee rooms and took possession of the jail, taking thence Casey with the gambler Cora, and carried them to the committee rooms, where they remained strong ly guarded up to the sailing of the steamer. It was supposed they would be hung. The whole eitv Was dressed in mourning-for the death of Mr. King, who was highly es teemed. Casey was formerly an inmate of Sing Sing, which fact being stated in the pn per caused the difficulty. The committee of safety is organiied throughout the State, and, it is said, have $7.5p -000 with which to carry out their measures. One hundred gamblers are to be driven out the State. The committee it is also said have plenty of arms and - ammunition. Their proceedings were characterized by the most perfect order and propriety. [Casey and Cora have since been hung by the vigilance committee.] The steamer George Law of New York had nearly $2,000,000 in gold on board. There had been no arrivals from. San Fran cisco. General Walker has removed his head-quar ters to Leon. All was quiet throughout the State. There had been some sickness among the troops. It was rumored that a revolution had broken out in Costa Rica during Mora's absence, headed by in influential family named Castro. ,The Democratic State Convention of Michigan, which assembled in Detroit on the 21st inst., after instructing the delegates to Cincinnati to vote for, and use all honorable means to secure the nomination of James Bu chanan, passed the following resolatiolis : Resolved, That "we thank God that the ad ministration of Franklin Pierce is drawing to a close." • Resolved, That the delegates appointed to the Cincinnati Convention be instructed under no circumstances to vote for or assent to the nomination of Franklin Pierce for the Presi- dency.
