There were a number of able and eloquent speeches delivered at the recent State Cotivcn ventiort. • VVe have only rooiti this week to make extracts from one of them. FltOM Mil. RKII.I.y's, or FK AX'KI. IN ' '<>. vv here then shall we find another equally worthy and capable to be the standard-bearer of the Democratic party. I have thought anxiously of the many capable men we have in al! the States. 1 have studied with some care, the prival • character and public acts of those, who it is thought, will be most [ >: >mi ilent b< fore tlie National Convention at Cin cinnati. 1 have (ndcavered, and with the best wishes of my heart, to be right to discard all pivjudic s, not to be narrow minded or selfish in n v i hoice ; and i say 1 re on my conscience, and with a due respect to aii oth < rs, that there is no man now riving, with one or two exceptions, who, in all th-- qualifica tions necessary to make a successful candidate, and alter success has been attained, a safe, j idici 'lis, and patri tic President, is comparable with James Buchanan. In everv emergency he has been found ready, vvoiling and able to defend the right, and to ex pose and defeat th" wrong. In the most intel. M ctnaUv political body of this nation, at a time when the Senate of the Coded States had more really an ! tnilv great men in if, than at any other peri id of our history, and perhaps more really great men than ever appeared in any po litical body ofthe same size, James Buchanan, ''Pennsylvania's favorite son" stood amongst them the acknowledge d equal of tire mightiest of them all. When Massachusetts, bout!) Caro lina, Kentucky, Michigan, .Missouri, and other States, w ere repres -nted by very giants, James Buchanan grappled with the strongest and came out of every conflict with honor to Pennsilvania and to himself. (Applause.) In later years, sir, when called to discharge the duties of the highest office, save one, in lire I oiled Slates, at a period when it was ireces-ary, not only to battle with, but to over throw a mighty pariv, mightv in intellect and numbers, ami not or.lv to overthrow a party of our own countrymen, but to raise men and means to chastise ;.•> insolent foreign Ihe, who hut James Buchanan stood si ! • by side with the then patriotic President of the Ihi it >'d States, battling for the honor and glo ry of hi- country ! (Applause.) At a later pe riod still, when our present excellent and able President, ami his excellent an.! able Cabinet, found it necessary to be represented at tlie proudest Court of the most arrogant and ex acting Nation on the face of the globe, who, hut Pennsylvania's favorite son, was thought must fit to represent the American people there, and who even now, when that proud Court and arrogant Nation have broken tinir treaty, and put Lrlh pretensions at once absurd and impu dent, who is if, but Pennsylvania's favorite son, giapples with the old lion of England, and dares her to asseit those pretensions in a con te.-t with Young America (Great applause.) Why th<-n, Mr. President, shall any man op pose the nomination of James Bu hanan ? Shall any man who has an Ameiican heart, attempt to defeat the voice ofthe people in electing James Buchanan? I say there is not a man in the country that ought to oppose it. He has defended the rights of American citizens here and elsewhere and everywhere. Pennsylva t.ians ought not to oppose him. Pennsylvania demands his nomination and election as a right, and the nation is moving to do her justice. 1 sav to that man who would attempt to defeat the ivMl ofthe people, beware, for a nation's frown is sure and certain death to him oil whom it talis. As Pennsylv.uiiaos we have a light to have some State pride about Ji r< matter, hut per mit me to feel a little prouder still tiian al riio-t auv man on the floor, when 1 think and speak of James Buchanan as a son ot my native county. Long before 1 became p-n sinal! v ac quainted with him, although acquainted with his history, 1 passed by the humble spot oo which be was born, and standing upon one of the little mountain ridges above it, looked down upon the little stony batter where once stood his father's dwelling, until the pulsations of'niv heart quicker and louder, ami there standing, l pronounced, first in sufi. then in louder tones - , the name of Pennsylvania's favorite son, until the little dell and mountains around about echoed and reechoed the name of James Buch anan. In conclusion, I pledge all 1 have, all the talent and ali the energy of soul and bodv, to the election of James Buchanan. above eloquent remarks will be the ruoreappreciated, when it is known bv our rea ders that Mr. Rkii.ly was i:i 1848 and 18."id tire r.f-alous, devoted fiend of Gen. CM-s, and labored hard t > promote his noininafi >n and e lectlon to the Presidency. Proith'tslial lU'ttss Louisiana mil Breiuvix.—A telegraphic dispatch from New Orleans to Washington,-an nounces that Mr. Buchanan has carried the State Mr. Saul" heading the Delegation to the Cin cinnati Convention. The Dt mocracy of Pike county, Missouri, at tliejr meeting OTI the 3d irist., for the purpose of appointing delegates to to ir Sfate Convention on the 3d Monday in April, unanimously adop ted tlm following resolutions: Resolved, Thai whilst the Democratic party can point to many statesmen in its ranks endow ei with talents, which would adorn the Presi dential office, we believe that its success, and j trie best interests oi" the country w ill be most surelv promoted, by conferring the nomination for the office of President, on a citi?. n of one of the great Middle States of tire t'nion—a Statesman long tried, and fully tested, alike dis tinguished in Cabinet Council and Senate Cham ber—ever ready aud able to ilelend and mail;- i lain ti;-dignity oi his country, aud !h" right of h-r citizens, whether at the courts oi' Kings, or ' m tiif connciis of tiie American Statesman— -James Buchanan of Pennsylvania.

A Slander on the Illustrious Dead. i The Know Nothing candidate for Vice ['resi dent is reported, to have stated, in a public speech, that the Old Hero, whose name he uti j worthHy bear?, il'-Jje were now living, would give aid and countenance to (lie dark lantern ; par!v ; find, taking their cue from the wicked slander, the whole tribe of Know Nothing edi tors are busily engaged in this work of defama tion ol'the glorious old Patriot. We hardly supposed, that these Know Noth ings would have dared to allude to"the illlustri ous Jackson. They ought to have been struck dumb at the mention of his name. Jackson, whose father and mother were both Irish -. whose two brothers were born on the other side of trie ocean, and when but beardless boys, tell lighting in defence of their adopted country Jackson, who, like ail brave and honest men. hated oppression and tvrannv in everv shape— he sanctioning ft policy which would degrade Ins leltpvi-men on account ot their religion or biitil —trampling upon the poor friendless im migrant who came hither, as his own lather and mother and brothers came, to seek tor freedom j ■ where alone in tire wide world it could be louiid. Jackson a Know Nothing ! Think ofthe lion hearted hero : the man oi iron nerve and inflex ible will; who openly assumed every responsi bility: who uttered whatever he thought, and cared not lor the consequences: who feared no being but I:is God—think of bun stalking iike j a guilty thing towards some secret haunt at the j dead hour of night with a nark lantern in his hand ; furtively glancing round on every side to see that he was not detected, and then, with hurried hand lilting the latch and entering a motig a crowd of men, each hound like a bandit ; under oath, not to betray bis neighbor! Let u? picture to ourselves this illustrious man stand- j iug in the centre of a group with one hand on j the Bible and the other on his breast, while sono* Bunt finite bids him swear, that he will obey their behest '-in ail things political or so cial" under the penalty of having his name jrosled and circulated "as a purjuer and traitor to God and his country, as being unfit to be employed, entrusted, countenanced, or support ed in any business transaction, as a person total ly unworthy the confidence of all good men. and asone-at whom the finger of scorn should ever be pointed." Bold indeed would be the ; man who dared to make such a proposition to ; Old Hickorv, if he were now living ; and he would probably find considerable difficulty in effecting an insurance on his ears alter having announced his intention to do so. Lancaster ' hit(efligcncer. From the Southern Advocate. LASSOED. The Know Nothing platform, in its 13th ar ticle, draws op a bill oi indictment against "the reckless and unwise policy of the present ad rrinistration" as "shown in granting to unnatu ralized foreigners the right to suffrage in Kan sas and Nebraska." This part of the Kansas, act lias been a standing theme lor the patriotic denunciations of the know-nothing orators and ; papers ! We ir.av as u e|| lasso them now as at i " i any other time. Here is the clause in (lie Kan sas act : "Provided , That the right of suffrage and >f holding office shall be exercised only bv citi- j •/ens ofthe I niter] States above tire age of'twen ty-one years, and those above that age who shall have declared on oath their intention to become such and shall have taken an oath to support the constitution of the fruited States and the provisions of this act." Now, this clause is copied letter for letter, comma lor comma, word for word, from the act of Congress establishing the Territory of Wash ington, "approved March 3d 1503," bv Mil lard Fillmore. Then .Mr. F. was in favor of letting "unnaturalized foreigners*' rote; then whigs and democrats were so also, tor the bill excited no opposition, and was passed as an at ter of course. In condemning the Kansas act for this clause the Know-Nothing council, at the same time, passed sentence on Mr. Fill more.
