roe Preildent and Vice President, we have
as candidates, James Buchanan, of Pennetyl ,

one, both for the high and commanding

to protect them from the lascivious allure

Buchanan, ho has neeessarily occupied
positions of trying-trust and embarrassing
responsibility —but he never maligned a
1 station, without receiving as his reward, the
Admission of all parties that he had done his
duty—nor was he ever called to a post of
public sarilee, but with the comment and
approbation of the intelligent laboring nasaes
of the country. In his Lowliest efforto, and
whkle the Dm mocratic party a as in its infancy,
he was among the first to had and assist su
its ascendency—hut it is to his matured
tabors, a hen the great issues started by
Whiggery under the lead of merchants and

warmest pride. Born on the no.I of ihe old-

sage of the Senate —frutu the leader of a re

CJOUS and profound minister in n foreign
court, where crow ned funds acknowledged

their honors by the title of nobility, vied

brilliant achievements as i man and a dip

the principles which onginated with Alter

Democratic creed since it became a subject

and advocate of many of its triumphs—its
defender when attacked, and its exultant
friend .when it most needed a friend, during
the dark and weary misrule of the opposi

larly with such principles, the Democratic
party enters the present campaign under
the most favorable an,pn i i His name LS a
Waver of sin 'Ali tic principles he

therefore above the adulation or abuse of

The candidate for Vice President. Col.

—and teaches all Measures * ' h hive an
influence on the interests of the ple.! One
of the main features of this platform is its
lilltsral endorsement of past Democrst,43 ad
ministrations—and the manner in vrhich it
arms as adherence to the spirit of the Con
stitution, and the wants of all classes, av
they increase with the progress of free in..
atitutiona. With such principles, and with
swat Candidates, the Democratic .part has
assumed a high, a responsible, and a holy
position-which in the advance of intelligence,
it is time that we all should rally to stipix)rt.
Strange an it !pay appear to the casual
reader or the obnervcr of political mutations,
the prineiplen of the Ihmnreatic !Arty are

The Hun. John C. Breckenridge was, on
the second ballot, unanimously doelesektbo
candidate fbr Viee President, with immense
applat se.
Mr. Breckenridge being loudly called for,
took the stand amid deafening cheers, and
said the result was quite unexpected to him,
and ho had no words to express the pro.
tound gratitude he felt for this mark of honor
and confidence from the Democrats of the
United. ,States. Ile did not intend to make
a speech, but only to return thanks from his
heart for the kionor done him. - With regard
to the first nomination he could only say
that Mr. Buchanan had' lived down detrac
tion and ealuinnyy and woo now about to be
crowned with the highest honor that could
Is., conferred .on an American citizen. Ile
desired to say generally that he was a States
Bight delegate, and that he trusted, if
elected, to the high office for which he had
been nominated, he should never do anything
to pervert the high trust reposed in bin,.

This is a a ell merited compliment to the
