FOR PRESIDENT,
HOI JIBES BMiIAM
li -■ "The -f>litor is absent, having been sud
denly rolled away on official hnsiness, which
v.'ill accntint for any deficiencies in this paper.
Speeches al Ihe Slate C n\rsi?isi.
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.

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.
Resolved, That our i.-pre- utatives in the ap
proaching State Convention be and they are
hereby requested to pursue such a line of action,
a= will tend to secure the nomination of that
■distinguished Statesman.

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.
Furious Suit lor Damages. —The New Or
leans, La., Crescent savs that M'lle Maria Su
sanna. a white maiden ladv, in the 39th vear,
and a Creole, has instituted a suit claiming hea
vy damages of one Matthi-u Richete, for depri
ving her of her proper p sit ion in society, bv
industrious!v circulating report? that slm is of
colored extraction. The defendant is father of
the lady. .M'lle Marie was placed in a colored
family in her infancy, and until she al her ma
jority believed she actually was of African ex
traction.— Public Ledger.

in a feu minutes bv a good microscopist. Let
■ n tranverse section of the pile of the head of
the lady be submitted to the microscope, and if
i she is of pure white origin , the filaments will
1 be found to be nil oval or ovoidal : if she has
' any mixture of the African blood, some of
• them will be found to he eccentrically eliptical.
