THE EFFECT.
It is but a little over three years since Frank
lin Pierce, elevated by the suffrages of the cit
izens of the United States to the Chief Magis
tracy of the Nation, assumed the control of
our governmental affairs. At that time, our I

what is. our condition now? When we at
tempt to answer this question we are struck
with amazement at the spectacle which pre

National Executive and his advisers, wc find
ourselves susrounded by an appalling state of

property destroyed, and American citi
zens assassinated,' in an attempt to spread the
Wight of human bondage over one of the fair
est portions of our land and ruffians are seek
ing to suppress the freedom of speech in our
legislative halls by the use of bludgeons and
brute force. What a spectacle this is for the
world .to contemplate! What . a significant

their fruits shall ye know them !"
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
The agony ot selecting a Presidential can
didate to be supported by the Democratic par
ty is over at last, and James Buchanan is the
lucky man. Although we were of the opinion
for some time past that Fierce and Douglass
would be able to prevent his nomination, still
we are not surprised at the selection. The
course which Pierce pursued in regard to the
sectional issues which now agitate the country,
was well calculated to awaken distrust in the
South, as well as to- estrange the North. The
spectacle of a President countenancing a horde
of ruffian non-residents in their efforts to usurp
the legislative power ol a territory, and to es
tablish slavery there, was too humiliating to
excite any feelings bordering the respectful.
In Douglass, every hotly saw but the root of the
evil which exhibited itself in full bloom in
Pierce. Their efforts to have the provisions ol
the Kansas-Nebraska act carried fully into ef
fect were marked more with the desire to se-
cure the support of the South to them in the
' Convention, than with any intention of bene
' fitting the country, or maintaining (he laws.
This created a disgust, which the Convention
' evidently did not fail to discover would ren
der the election of cither thi3 fall very doubt-
' ful. The consequence was that Pierce has been
virtually repudiated by his party, and he and
- Douglass sink together into one political grave,
I'BhouseU'd, disappointed, unanelcd."
"How the mighty are fallen !"
The Democratic party, in selecting, in 1852,
, Gen. Pierce as their candidate, did that which
they undoubtedly have since regretted. They
have found that their experiment of taking up
a man whose only recommendation was, that
, he was an obscure individual, almost unknown
outside of Lis own State, has failed entirely in
. its contemplated beneficial results. They,
therefore, seem to have determined upon a
, voiding a similar tais-step on the present oc
casion. ., In Buchanan they have found a can
didate, who cannot be objected to on the score
. of notoriety. ;As to the course he has pur
tiled since he entered upon his political ca
reer, that is another matter, and a reference to
. his antecedents may, therefore, not be uniu-
'. teresting. The following brief history will
f give the reader a feint idea of the stability of
his views : : - ' .'
" "He entered political life in 1811 as a rank
- Federalist, and by the Federal party ho was c-
lected to the Legislature of the State. He was
re-elected in 1815, defeating Molton C. Ro
gers, the democratic candidate, and afterwards
. : one of the Supremo' Judges of the State. In
- 1820 he was thtf Federal candidate for Con
egress, and .was elected over Jacob llibsman,
the democratic candidate, by 076 majority,
t . In 1822 he was re-elected over the same man
( ly 813 majority. In 1821 he. was the Federal
candidate for Congress, and elected over Sam
uel Houston, the -democratic candidate, by
? 518 votes. -; In 1826 he was re-elected over Dr.
' John McCarnaht, the democratic candidate, by
453 votes. . 'His majorities were becoming less
each timt,'and in order. to satisfy his federal
- friends of his fidelity to tbc' party, he bad to
declare that "if he had a drop of democratic
blood fri his veins he would open them and let
it out." " ' '
"Two years after this (1828) he-changed his
coat, and became a full blooded democrat, and
ran for Congress as the democratic candidate,
and was elected by virtue of GcneralJackson's
popularity. lie was afraid to run a second
term, and he declined. In 1845, he became
Secretary of State, under Polk's administra-
tion, and consented to give away about half of
the Territory of Oregon to the British govern-
ment, after he had proven that they had not a
spark of title to it.
"lie extolled the Federal Administration of
John Adams, and endorsed the abominab'c A-
lien and Sedition laws of the federal reign of
terror. -He bitterly denounced the Adminis-
tration of that pure Democrat, James Madi-
son, and ridiculed what he termed the follies
of Thomas Jefferson. - -
"In 1819 at a meeting in Lancaster, he re-
ported resolutions favoring resistance to the the revocation of his exequatur, notonpolit
cxtension of Slavery, and the admission of the ical but on personal grounds, and what was
State of Missouri as a Slave State. ,
"In 1847 he wrote to the democracy of Berks
County, saying that the Missouri Compromise
had given peace to the country, and that in-
stead of repealing it, he was in favor of its ex-
tension and maintenance. .

Our "Coxstitctional Rights." The Con
stitution guarentees "the liberty of Speech
and of the Press." "Within a few weeks
two Printing Offices have been destroyed by
cannonade, for exercising the one, and a Sen
ator in Congress beaten down and mangled in
his seat, for availing himself of the other.
The Constitution declares that "the right of
the People to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed." Within the past month per
sons acting under Federal authority have for

and turning them upon their lawful owners,
have driven them from their homes.
There is a clause in the Constitution declar

TToxrKRs of the Teleor aimi. Since the
restoration of peace in England, the line of
submarine telegraph has been extended to St
Petersburg, so as to establish the means of in
stantancous communication between London
and that capital, the length of wire being 1,700
miles. The communication is carried on by
means of the printing telegraph, and simulta
neously with the touch of the finger cn the in
strument at St. Petersburg, indicating the let
ters of the alphabet to be transmitted, they
appear on a similar instrument at the Strand
station in London. This is perhaps the most
striking achievement in the art of telegraph
ing yet accomplished.
Danger of Invasion. The U. S. Military
Gazette savs that the Government of Great
Britain has issued orders that no military corp
from New York, or any part of the United

and cross when they please as citizens.

NICARAGUA.
The news from Nicaragua, which we pub
lish in ample detail this morning, will be found
highly interesting. Tho retreat of the Costa
Rican army, which is fully confirmed, occur
red from causes that will not at all suprise
those who have perused the lucid account of
its personnel and organizationjatcly furnished
for our columns by a correspondent at San
Jose. After the Battle of Rivas and the re
treat of "Walker, the triumphant Costa Ricans
neglected to properly bury the bodies of their
dead who had fallen in that engagement, and
the conscience was, that, with the rapid put
refaction of the tropics, the air of the locality
presently became infected, and the cholera
broke out in ' the camp. Indeed, our corres
pondent stales that with unaccountable stu- j
pidity the ignorant peasants, of whom the
mass of the invading force was composed,
flung bodies into the wells on which they de
pended for water; and that thus the pestilence
was still further intensified. No sooner had
it became certain that it was the cholera than
a panic broke out among the undisciplined
troops, and their commander was at once com
pelled to abandon the expedition and make
his way back, with his now dispirited and de
moralized forces, to his own country ' It is
also probable that their experience in the bat
tle of Rivas had contributed to their discour
agement. It is true that they had there held
their ground, and that after seventeen hours'
nglting w aiker baa Deen compelled kto tan
back ; but this was not done till he had put a
greater number of Costa Ricans hors dc com
bat than his own entire righting force. At
that battle, according to our correspondent,
Walker could only bring two hundred men in
to action, the rest of his army refusing to
fight cither from total exhaustion or from
cowardice. These two hundred are said to
have killed and wounded three times their
own number of the enemy. This is probably
exaggerated, but there is no doubt that Walk
er's keen marksmen did a vast deal more dam
age than they suffered.
This would seem for the present at least, to
render "Walker's position secure. A good

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
"We last week noticed the meeting and tem
porary organization of this body. After the
committees on credentials, organization, and
platform had been appointed, the Convention
was permanently organized by the appointment
of John Ward,-or Georgia, as President, a
Yicc President from each State, and thirty
one Secretaries, after which the Convention
adjourned. On the assembling of the Conven
tion, on Tuesday morning, the President, on
taking the chair, urged upon all the necessity
of conciliation and compromise. The rules of
organization of the last National Convention
were adopted on recommendation of the com
mittee. The delegates from the District of
Columbia and the anti-Benfon delegates from
Missouri were admitted. A rambling debate
on the subject of admitting members of Con
gress, members of Legislatures, &c, occupied
the time until the hour of adjournment.
On Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, the
Convention again met. B. F. Ilallett, chair
man of the committee on resolutions, submit
ted a report, which endorses and re-aflirms the
general principles of the Convention that met
in Baltimore in 1852, and in addition sustains
the Kansas-Nebraska bill, denounces tl

that the Democratic party will expect the next

The Buchanan men shrieked with delight,
and npon the name of Franklin Pierce being
here withdrawn, more cheers were given. A
16th ballot was then taken, with the following
result : Buchanan 1G8, Douglass 121, Cass 6.
Oa the 17th ballot, Buchanan received 296
votes, and declared the unanimous choice of
the Convention. So James Buchanan is the
candidate of the Democratic party for Presi

was chosen as the candidate for Yice Presi
dent.

years since he removed to Illinois and edited
a Democratic Douglas paper. When he remo

and established a squatter-sovereignty organ
at Leavenworth. But because he dared to
deprecate the invasion of the Territory at
every election by the Missourians, the chival

his press into the rivci. He is now decided- i

KANSAS NEWS.
The Chicago Tribune' contains a list of the
property destroyed at Lawrence on the 25th
of May, amounting to $130,000. Governor
Shannon issued an order calling out the troops
at b o'clock, on the morning of the 22d. A
gentleman, just arrived, reports that the ililli-
culty mentioned as occurring at Possawatamie
Creek, took place at Ossawatoruie. The quar
rel arose from depredations committed by the
pro-slavery men oa the cattle of the free-state
men. Oa the 26th, some pro-slavery men
seized a free-state man, and proceeded to hang
him, when his wife fled, and aroused the neigh
bors, who came to his rescue. A fiht ensued,
aud five pro-slavery men and two free-state
men were kilkd. A force of sixty men or
ganized at Westport, Missouri, on the 27th,
and proceeded to Ossawatomie.
TheluvestigatingCommittce adjourned from
Leavenworth to Westport on the 3 lit May.
They will leave for Washington on the KJtii of
June.
A letter to The Republican, dated Baptiste
Paola, May 30, says that thirteen persons im
plicated in the murder of the Pro-Slavery men
at Ossawatomie, have been arrested. Other
repoi ts say that the murderers are fortified in
a cave on the Marias del Cygnes, and are se
curing re-enforcements from Lawrence aud
elsewhere. The leader of the band is named
Brown. Two of his sons are under arrest, one
of whom feigns insanity. One hundred Kan
sas militia and fifteen United States dragoons
are assembled to catch the murderers.
St. Louis, June 5. A letter to The Demo
crat from Leavenworth, May 31, says a compa
ny of Pro-Slavery. men, some days previous,
had waited on the free State settlers, and com
manded them to leave Kansas within a speci
fied time, or suffer the consequences. Mr.
Philips, the correspondent of. the A. 1. Tri
bune, being compelled to leave, went to Law
rence. Judge Conway, wLo was arrested on
the 2Sth, was confined that day and night, with
guards stationed over him, but on the follow
ing morning was released, and commanded to
leave the Territory. Not obeying, he was that
evening conducted by a Committee aboard the
steamer, and sent down the river. Mr. Latta,
another Judge was ordered to leave, and did
so. Robert Riddle had also left. Several oth
ers have been commanded to leave. Mr.Shoe
maker, a land-receiver, and the Government
officer in Kansas known to be a free-state man
is to bo notified to leave. Lady Leavenworth
has also been advised to move away to avoid
difliculty. The writer says the Free-state men
do not manifest sufficient nerve for the crisis,
but thinks that if the reports are true that the
Free-state settlers in the southern part of the
Territory arc iu arms, and compelling tho pro
slavery men to retreat to Missouri, the etTect
will bo good in the northern part. It is re
ported that five hundred men are marching
from Wisconsin to Kansas, but it is probably
