Abraham Edinger, Mr. Buchanan with the Nation We have never known a nomination for the Presidency, received with so much enthusi. asm by the American people as that of Mr. 'BUCHANAN. in every direction—from every point of the compass—do we hear the glad notes of joy swelling up from the popular heart, and it is not too much to assume that he will be triumphantly elected to the Presi dential chair. That such will be the result of _the campaign upon which we have now enter ed, no sane man pretends to doubt for a mo ment. Indeed, we should not wonder, if he carries every State in the Union, save one or two. There is a perfect union of the Demo cratic party from one end of the country to the other. All minor differences seem to be forgotten in the general rejoicing. Even in the great State of New York the party is ence more united, and will cast a solid vote for the Pennsylvania statesman. Mr. BUCHANAN unites the South with the North, as no other man could do at this time : for, excluding from all computation, fanatics vi-ho are welcome to vote, and who will vote against him, lie seems to have an equal number of friends every where. He has gained them, not by compro mise, but by steadiness—by honesty, integri ty, undisputed ability, and unimpeachable moral and political character. . There are mighty influences at work, says a contemporary; in Mr. BUCHANAN'S favor, that hardly admit of definition ; influences spring ing from the popular heart, whit'h will, in his election, secure great good and great content ment to the Nation. He knows the popular mind, the popular sentiment—and he thor oughly understands how to discriminate be tweed the genuine impulse and the counter feit of pernicious and destructive radicalism which spirts from the restless demagogue's lips. He is an administrative statesman ; and in a crisis such as now impends, the Nation needs a Chief Magistrate to maintain the dig nified, yet peaceful attitude, best becoming the Republic. The Nation thinks so—and when we say this, we look beyond the lines of mere party discipline and technicalities, and proud ly feel that the utmost confidence and reliance in the wisdom, isagacity and conservatism of our candidate, are felt and shared in by thous ands of patriotic men, who heretofore have been arrayed in opposition to the Democracy. It is so hero in Lancaster county—it is so throughout the length and breadth of Penn sylvania—it is so everywhere, in every State of the Union. Wo witnessed this feeling in a powerful degree at Cincinnati, where were congregated men from Maine to Texas—from theWlantic to the Pacific. We witnessed it all blong the road going and returning from the National Convention. It manifests itself here at home, and the press from every quar• ter is sending forth the joyous demonstrations of the people. JAMES BUCHANAN is the coming man—the statesman and patrio_t_who lives in the hearts .of his fellow-citizen's, and who will, in his ad ministration of tlfe government, give peace and prosperity • this great Nation. -A Sudden Change The oppdsition factions to the Democracy are a queer set of mortals. A great change has suddenly " come o'er the spirit of their dream." But a few days ago, and the promi nent men of the Know-Nothing and Black Republican party were zealously discussing the merits and claims of the rival candidates of the Cincinnati Convention. Under the mis taken belief that Mr. BUCHANAN would be de feated for the nomination—an impression cre ated on the principle of the wish being father to the thought, they loudly proclaimed their admiration for this distinguished statesman, and declared that he was the only man the De mocracy could certainly elect. Now, however, their tune is suddenly changed, and a great difference is manifested in the conversation of these gentlemen at the street corners. They have discovered that they were slightly pre vious in their zeal for Mr. BUCHANAN. Their idea that the South could nut do justice to a man of his independence has been exploded, and they now find themselves in the very awkward predicament of being compelled to oppose and traduce a gentleman whom two weeks ago they were lauding to the skies as an able, honest and accomplished statesman. But there were others, and their name is legion, who formerly opposed the Democratic party, who were looking with far different feelings to, the result of the National Conven tion. They are men who always had at heart the true interests of the country, and they anxiously awaited the decision of the Convention, resolved if JAMES BUCHANAN should be the nominee, to give him their cor dial support. They have known him long and well, as a neighbor and friend, and they know him to be in all respects worthy their suffra ges. Disgusted with the corruptions of the Know-Nothing party—unwilling tajoin in the hue and cry against the South, with sectional fanatics, they have come to the manly resolve to cast their votes for the Democratic ticket, at least until such times as its opponents unite in a a uniform policy consistent with self respect, and the perpetuity of our republican government Buchanan at Washington Upon the receipt of the news of Mr. Bu- CHANAN'S nomination, at Washington, an im_ manse meeting assembled, which was address by Gen. Case and Judge Douca,As—both of whom paid glowing tributes to the private worth and public services of Mr. BUCHANAN, and his great ability as a statesman. After which a procession was formed and marched to the White-House, accompanied by music, where the multitude was ably and elequently addressed by President PIERCE, wbo also spoke in high terms of praise of the nominee, and urged his friends to support him.with en ergy and zeal.

Resolved, That we heartily and cordially approve of the nomination of Hon. Jew( C. BRECKINItinOe as the Demos cratic candidate lor the Vice Presidency. His patriotic ser. vices in the war with Mexico, and his brilliant career in the Congress of the 11. States, have giVel, hirer a fast hold en the affections of the American peOple, and they will take pleasure in conferring upon hint the second office in their gift. The great State of Kentucky, from which he hails, deserved the honor, and the Democracy 01 Lancaster county will cheerfully aid. to the utmost of their ability, in electing him to the Vise Peesidency. Resolmi, That the people of Lancaster county will evince their gratitude for the honor conferred in the nom ination of Mr. BatIANAN, by giving the largest Note to the nominees of the National Convention, that has ever been cast for Democratic candidates in the '• Old Guard." Resolved. That we unequivocally endorse the platform of principles adopted and enunciated by the National Con• 'elation. These principles have all stood the test of time and experience, and hare ever been the guiding situ of the Democratic party. In the endoreement of these great prin ciples of civil and religious liberty, which truly form the beige upon which our wine and henificint system of gov ernment rests, and will.,we trust, securely rest fur all time to come, and in the re-affirmation of the Munroe doctrine. by which we are pledged to erect a barrier against foreign encroachments and iuterference in the concerns of the Americeu continent, the National Convention acted wisely and well, and they will be abuudeutly sustained by the The Committee of the National Conven. tion and Mr. Buchanan The Committee appointed by the Cincinnati Convention to notify Mr. Buchanan of his nomination, arrived here on Friday last, in the 11 o'clock train, and proceeded immedi ately to Wheatland, where were also assem bled several gentlemen from this city and State, among whom was es-Governor Porter, of Harrisburg, Hon. H. S. Magraw, State Treasurer, ccl. J. W. Forney, of Philadelphia, and Col. Wm. Rice, of the Pennsylvanian, Col. Wni. B. Fordney, J. L. Reynolds, Esq., G. Sanderson, Esq., and others of Lancaster. The gentlemen of the Committee present, Were General Ward, of Georgia, Gov. Brown, of Mississippi, Mr. Forsyth, of Missouri, Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, Mr. Hibbard, of New Hampshire, Gov. Manning, of South Carolina, Col. Richardson, of Illinois, and Gov. Law rence, of Rhode Island. On reaching Wheatland they were cordially greeted by Mr. Buchanan. Gen. Ward then presented Mr. B. a letter informing him of his nomination, accompanied with a few appropri ate remarks, which were replied to in n hap- P),- manner by Mr. Buchanan, who informed the Committee that a more full reply would be given them in writing. The. compariy, consisting of about fifteen persons, then Sat down to a sumptuous dinner prepared for the occasion, and the meeting was continued to a late hour. The Keystone Club We mentioned the visit of this respectable and orderly body of Democrats to Wheatland, upon their return from Cincinnati, on yester dayweek. They reached this city on Sunday, and remained over. At about 11 o'clock on Monday, the Band and Club, with several hundred of our citizens, in the procession, marched to Wheatland, the home of Mr. Bu chanan. Here, William B. Rankin, Esq., the President of the Club, congratulate) Mr. Bu chanan upon his nomination in a few neat and pertinent remarks. Mr. Buchanan re, sponded in a strain complimentary to the harmonious proceedings which had character ized the progress of the Cincinnati Convention as compared with assemblages of like charac ter in foreign countries—lauded our institu tions, and concluded by thanking the Club for their kindness exhibited towards him, and wishing them health and prosperity. The visitors were then hospitably entertained, and after time delivery of addresses by ex-Governor Price, of Missouri, Col. Wm. B. Fordney , Col. Samuel C. Stambaugh, George A. Coffey , Esq., and Dr. George W. Nebinger, the party returned to this City well pleased with their visit to "Old Buck." The Keystone Club returned to Philadelphia on Monday evening, where they were met at the Schuylkill Bridge by the remaining mem bers of their organization and escorted to their Head Quarters. Monster Mass Meeting An immense meeting of the friends of Br- CHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE was held at Inde pendence Square, Phila., on Tuesday evening last,;to ratify the nominations of the Cincinnati Convention. It is estimated that at least 20,000 persons were present. Mayor VAux pre sided, and, on taking the Chair, addressed the assemblage: in an appropriate and eloquent manner, in which he paid warm and glowing tributes of praise to the candidates of the Dem ocratic party. A large number of Presidents and Vice Presidents were also appointed— and letters were read from Hon. Daniel S• Dickinson, Secretary Marcy, Judge Porter, etc. A series of strong and patriotic resolu tions were unanimously passed. The meeting was addressed by. Gen. LEWIS CASS, Hon. STEPHEN' A. DOUGLAS, Hon. How• ELL COBB, Hon. Wm. B. REED, (old line Whig) HENRY M. PHILLIPS, Esq., Hon. RICHARD BRODHEAD, Hon. ASA BIGGS, and others. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the shouts for BUCHANAN and BRECKINRIDGE were almost deafening. The nomination of "OLD Boca" secures the City of Philadelphia by an immense majority in November nest. ram The Saturday Express is very abusive of Mr. BUCHANAN, and says a great many naughty things. In justice to the editors, how ever, we must say that they neither charge him with being convicted of forgery, or of slandering a lady'! which would have subjected him to imprisonment in the State or County Penitentiary. We had hoped that this campaign would be conducted in, a gentlemanly way—at least here at the home of Mr. BumaANAN. But we are mistaken. The Black Republican, Know- Nothing organs of this city, it appears, are determined to make it a personal matter, and have already commenced their vituperations of the Democratic candidate for the Presiden cy. Well be it so—we shall not shrink from our duty ;—and if the war should happen to be carried into Africa, these vile and unprin cipled traducers of character will have them selves to blame—not us.

The meeting was then adjourned and the crowd reluct_ antly left the scene of excitement for the quiet homes. [We shall endeover to publish the speeches at length in our next.[ ANOTHER BARN BURNT.—On Thursday last the barn of Mr. Shenk of Sporting Hill in this county was destroyed by fire. together with two horses that could no t be rescued. Several horses were got out. The house was also injured, but not very seriously, the fire being arrested. Mr. Shenk was from home at the time of the fire. and a boy was the uuly male person about the promisee when it broke out. The neighbors gathered and saved the house. The fire Is said to have been the work of an incendiary.— inland Daily. HIGHLY COS PLIMENTARY.—Some of the Know-Nothing and Black Republican papers, such as the Philadelphia News, Harrisburg Telegraph, &c., S:c., have already waded thro' the dust and rubbish of more than forty years, to discover a speech Mr. Buchanan made when quite a young man—isolated and garbled pas sages of which they now produce to his pre judice. That statesman must produce an enviable record whose opponents are driven to such a ridiculous extremity to assail his present position. Nothing could be more complimentary, in our humble judgment.— Why don't they investigate his legislative and diplomatic career? He served two sessions in the State Legislature, ten years in Congress, ten in the U. S. Senate, four as Sec retary of State, and five as Minister Plenipo tentiary at the Courts of St. Petersburg and London. Why don't they examine that record of more than thirty years to find some flaw in his public character? If they can find any thing wrong, any thing antidemocratic or un patriotic in his public history, let them out with it. His friends court the most thorough and searching investigation of his whole pub. lk life. The Know-Nothing Platform-01r. Fill. As Mr. FILLMORE has, in his letter of accep tance, placed himself fair and square upon the Know Nothing Platform, and endorsed all the proscriptive heresies and abominations of that intolerant faction, we should like to know how many old line Whigs or Whig editors can sup port him? If they do, they must take him, principles and all, just on the platform where he has placed himself, and, by so doing, they become Know-Nothings themselves to all in tents and purposes. They cannot escape from this position. zer- Senator Hamlin, of Maine, has for mally taken leave of the Democratic party.— We give our friends joy:at the riddance. Mr. 11. has always been at heart a Free Soiler, and gave the Democratic party more trouble than he was worth. ite....Major General WILLIS FCIi7LK, a prom inent citizen of Carlisle, and an officer of the U. S. Army in the war of 1812, died in that Borough. on Friday week, aged 68 years.— His remains were attended to the grave by a detachment of U. S.

I shall, with the same scrupulous regard for Mr. Trumbull explained that the out) on• ject of the bill was to extend the territorial government of Nebraska over han-a, and abolish the present government of the latter Territory, and the laws by their legislature.— He thought this proposition worthy of some consideration, as there was a state r things now existing in Kansas which all good men must deplore. Elr, did nut care about having the bill referred, :is that, would withdraw it from the consideration oi the Senate. Mr. Douglas hoped the bill would be refer red to the Cornmittee.in Territories, who would report on it at an early day. It involved some grave questions. But lie was glad to see that the opponents were beginning to acknowledge the principle of that ni-asure. The laws of Nebraska were made by the people of Nebras ka, and the taws of Kansas by the people of Kansas. But the proposition now was to abolish the laws made by the people of Kan sas fir their own government, and place them under the laws of Nebraska. which they had no voice in making. Mr. Trumbull said, that so far from ac knowledging the principle of the Nebraska bill, he did not believe there was any principle in it. It was understood one way in the North and another way in the South. But he would admit that this bill was not such a proposition as he should prefer. He regarded the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as the cause of all the mischief, and would be glad to restore things to their former position. But this was a temporary expedient not intended to carry out his own wishes fully. lie meant to occu py conservative ground upon this question, and was willing to yield something, for he was sorry to see the existing state of strife in Kan sas, and was anxious that somemeasure should be immediately adopted to restore peace to that unhappy territory. Mr. Douglas said he was as anxious as his colleague to have peace and quietness restored to Kansas, and was mai willing to yield some thing. But he would yield what some of the people of Kansas refused to yield, and that was implicit obedience to the laws of the land. If everybody would du this there would be no difficulty in Kansas or anywhere else. But if, instead of compelling the riuteryi and rebels to submit to the law, they were to be placed un• der the laws of another territory, the effect would be to extend the strife and turmoil to Nebraska likewise. He was not willing to in filet upon Nebraska the curses of the strife and mob violence that existed in Kansas.— The people of Nebraska have obeyed the law and they have peace. In Kansas law has been trampled under foot, and there was strife.= The abolitionists and emigrant aid societies had not interfered in Nebraska to prevent the terms and meaning of the law of Congress; and the very fact that both territories were created under and law, and that in one there was peace and quietness while in the other j there was strife and controversy, shows that the fault is not in the law. The fault was in foreign interference: Strife and violence were the fruit of that interference in Kansas; but there had been non-interference in Ne braska, and peace and harmony had been the natural consequence. If his colleague thought the Nebraska bill was understood differently in the North and South, he had better read the proceedings of the Demcratic National Convention. He would there find that the principles of the Democratic party were pro claimed North, East, South and West, every where alike ; proclaimed by the unanimous vote of every State in the Union. All true Democrats had no trouble in construing it, and nobody had any trouble except those who were opposed to it and who were determined not to be satisfied with it. The principles of that bill were enrolled in the Compromise of 1850, and they were confirmed by the election of President Pierce in 1852. Farther debate ensued between Messrs. Trumbull and Dutiglas, concerning the merits of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, after which Mr. Trumbull's bill was referred to the Committee on Territories. Praise from a Political Opponent In announcing the nomination of Mr. Bu chanan, the National Intelligencer says: " Mr. Buchanan is a man of character, of stainless private life, and of long and varied experience in public affairs. As a gentleman we have nothing to . object to him save his par ty politics and party career ; and although we trust that the anti democratic conservative power of the country will be able to beat him, yet if they should fail they may still hope that his success will give to the country a President who will prove a friend to the Union and more conservative in his administration than is the political platform upon which he has been placed by the convention." Our neighbors dpi no more than naked justice to the character of Mr. Buchanan when they speak of him as a man of " stainless private life, and of long 'and varied experience in pub lic affairs." It was scarcely to be expected that they would regard his " party politics and party career" as tree from objection. Mr. Buchanan has been too long •• and too promi nently identified with the Democratic party, and with its many conflicts with the " party politics" of the Intelligencer, to expect the en dorsement of that journal. But, whilst our neighbors claim to adhere to their associations, we are gratified to knovi, that many with whom they have heretofore acted have no such aversion to Mr. Buchanan's party career as to induce them in the present crisis to withhold from his nomination their cordial approval— Iri the Cincinnati Convention there were a number of old-line whigs as zealous and en thusiastic in support of the nomination as were the democrats themselves.— Washington Union. Another Know. Nothing Story Some of the opposition press are circula ting a report that Governor Reeder visited Wheatland and spent two days with Mr. Bu chanan. The story is fabricated for the pur pose of injuring Mr. Buchanan at the South. there is not a word of truth in it. Governor Reeder has not been at Wheatland, nor has he and. Mr. Buchanan seen each other, or had any correspondence for the last four or five years.

The Boston Herald, a neutral paper, speaks thus of Mr. Buchanan and his nomination : Standing as Mr. Buchanan does at the head of American statesmen, the friend and con temporary for many years of Jackson, Calhoun, Clay, Webster and Silas Wright, it can no ' longer be said that none but unknown men dare their claims presented before the people as candidates fur the Presidency. It can no longer be said, as it has been, without truth, that availability had been the only qualifica tion for office. It can no longer be said that the country has no opportunity for rewarding the services of her best statesmen, because parties interfere and present candidates bar ing inferior claims. We have not the room, nor the inclination, to publish a biography of Mr. Buchanan. It is not necessary. He is known to all our cit izens, as a sound, conservative, practical states man. From the hour when lie shouldered his musket as a volunteer, and marched to the de fence of Baltimore, his name has been intuit liar to the people. His long services in the United States Senate and in responsible posi tions abroad, have given him an invaluable experience, while his consistent and states manlike course upon the great questions which have agitated the country since the time of Jefferson, has secured him the respect. confi dence and esteem of the nation. We look upon his nomination as fortunate for the country. It will stop the mouths of ' agitators, and silence the voice of sectionalism. It will afford all the friends of the Union, of law, order, and equal rights, an opportunity to unite and secure the continued permanency of the glorious principles of nationality that were handed down by our la,hers, and have secured such priceless blessings to us. Buchanan among the Germans The New Yorker Stains Zeitung says: 1317- ! CIIANAY is a statesman of talent, experience and liberal sentiments. He knows the old world and the new, the most liberal country of Europe as well as the most enslaved. He has seen too much of the world to be a man of low prejudices. He knows the emigrants to this country too well not to acknowledge fully their merits. We repeat: the Democratic ; National Convention has done a good day's work, and we rejoice to be able to say that we have performed our part to obtain this re sult. The Stoats Zeitung was one of the first papers, (and among the Germans the very first,) which advocated the nomination of Bu- CHANAN, and his past life gives us a guaran tee that we shall have no cause, as far as the country is concerned, to regret this result.— BUCHANAN will be our next President, and ceAainly the best of all those who have con ducted the fortunes of this country since the days when the heroes of Democracy adorned the Presidential chair. Ratification meetings have been held by the Democracy at Reading, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Pittsburg, York, Richmond, V keeling, Louisville, Cincinnati , Dayton, Detroit, Boston, Portland, Trenton, Wilmington, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, New Orleans, Savannah, Frederick, and in deed in every direction throughout the length and breadth of the Republic, wherever the news has reached the people of the nomina tions of BCCLIANAN and BRECEINRIDGE. Every where the popular delight is more abundantly manifested than we have ever known it here tofore. For the Intelligeurer. Welcomti home to Buchanan. Come, Pennsylvania's favorite Son.

Upon the whole, the vocation was a great one in compliment to James Buchanan and John C. Breekinridge our democratic file leaders. The same demonstration, is being manifested all over the country by our democratic friends. This proves, that; the ticket put forth at Cincinnati has met with the public fa vor of the people, which is a sure atmury of triumph, as certain as the day of ele,tion, , sh.ll roll areund.

Also, it to thought, that the "dark-republican abolition party" that meet in Philadelphia. next Tuesday, to nominate a ticket, will adopt the above last named tick et as their choice, and thus secure for Fremont and Beaks the vote of the entire Abolition party throughout the abo lition States. Thislooks reasonhble just now, and It being understood here, that Mr. SeWard favors this arrangement there may he murh truth in thosuggestlon that I hear in this city.
