The virtue of “Self- Denial was inculcated by the patriotic Benton. us necessary to the preservation of that Union and Harmony'* in the Democratic ranks, without which it was in vain to hope for success. To Mr. Buchanan was reserved the still higher praise ol car rying this virtue into practice-a virtue which among politicians and statesmen, alas, is so rare, that its cxi.-tenee may well at times bo doubted. So deeply, indeed, is* the principle of selfishness implanted in the human heart, that examples to the contrary are scattered only at long intervals along the pathway of existence.

Justice to Pennsylvania. i T' ie fourth Monday of May, the time fixed for the assembling; of the Democratic National Con vention at Baltimore, is now rapidly approaching. Who will be its Presidential nominee still remains a question of some doubt and uncertainty. The names which now appear most prominent are James Buchanan, Lewis Cass, and Levi Woodbury. In the present state of things it becomes the De mocracy of all sections of the Union to prepare their minus ior a cordial,, united, and enthusiastic support of the nominee, be he whom he may. sat isfied as all must be that the Convention will ehoo-** a man worthy of our must vigorous efforts. But while the Democracy of Pennsylvania closely adhere at this time, as they hav e for years past to a policy of that nature upon all such questions it is due to their standing as members of the great Democratic famity. to our State, and to our - favor ite son.” JAMES BUCHANAN, that we should not cease to urge upon the Democracy of our sister states, the strong claims we have upon their grati tude, their confidence, and their support, now that om* noble State presents with unbroken front a i candidate eminently worthy of their wannest at i laehment and unhesitating endorsement.

He has for years past in his political career pursued a course so judicious that while it iias given no offence lo anv section of our party worth mentioning, has drawn the warmest enco miums from all. He has become closely identified with the measures of the present administration, and to his weight of character and talent is to be attributed much of the success with which it has been crowned. And above all. in the attitude he bears with respect to tjie present aspect of the poU itical horizon, may be found the most cogent and powerful reasons for preferring him above all pthej candidates named,—even if we could leave out ut view the strong claim he receives from the manner in which Pennsylvania lias declared in his favor; Under these circumstances it is but reasonable to expect that the Baltimore Convention will not foil to do Jr sTies to Pe.vxsylvaxia. From the Bedford Uazette James Bueliantus, , The Delegates from Pennsylvania tu the National i Convention have all given pledges to give Mi. i Buchanan a faithful and honorable support in .the National Convention, which meets in Baltimore on the igd inst. rii€*ir letters are published at length in the Lancaster Intelligencer,;.\ind we regret that we have not room to gjve them place in 'our col utniis.
