It is but a little over three years since Frank lin Fierce, elevated by the suffrages of the cit izens of the United States to the Chief Magis tracy of the Nation, assumed the control of cur governmental affairs. At that time, our country was at peace with all the world noth ing to disturb the quiet of the people, or en danger the permanency of the Union living together as one great family, harmonious, well disposed and cherishing the kindliest feelings towards each other. North and South. But what is our condition now? When we at tempt to answer this question we are struck with amazement at the spectacle which pre sents itself. By the short-sightedness of the National Executive and his advisers, we find ourselves susroundod by an appalling state of affairs. From abroad, thrcatenings and mena ces ere heard in our far western borders cru el and sanguinary indian war is prevailing the old States are convulsed with the agitation of sectional issues civil war is raging in our territories American towns are sacked, pri vate property destroyed, and American citi rens assassinated, in an attempt to spread the blight 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 commentary on the boasted blessings of Dem ocratic rule! Truly hag it been said, By 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 w e were of the opinion for some time past that Pierce 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 rnffian 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, everybody saw but the root of the evil which exhibited itself in full bloom in Pierce. Their efforts to have the provisions of the Kansas-Nebraska act carried fully into ef fect were marked more w ith 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 the laws. This created a'di.sgust, which the Conveation evidently did not fiil to discover would ren der the election of either this fall very doubt ful. The consequencewasthit Tierce has been virtually repudiated by his party, and he au 1 Douglass sink together into one political grave, "Unhouscll'd. disappointed, unarelcd." "How the mighty are fallen.'" The Democratic party, in selecting, in 18-52, Gtn. Pierce as their candidate, did that which they undoubtedly have since regretted. They have found that their experiment of taking np a man whose only recommendation was, that he was an obscure individual, almost unknown outside cf bis own State, has failed entirely in its contemplated beneficial results. They, therefore, seem to have determined upon a voiding a similar mis-step on the present oc casion. In Buchanan they have found a can didate, who cannot be objected to on the score cf notoriety. As to the course he has pnr encd since he entered upon his political ca reer, that is another matter, and a reference to bis antecedents may, therefore, not be unin teresting. The following brief history will give the reader a feint idea of the stability of his views : "He entered political life ia 1S14 &3 a rank Federalist, and by the Federal party be was e lectcd 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 Supreme Judges of the State. In 1820 he was the Federal candidate for Con gress, and was elected over Jacob Ilibsman, the democratic candidate, by 076 majority. In 1822 he was re-elected over the same man - by 813 majority. In 1824 he was the Federal candidate for Congress, and elected over Sam uel Houston, the democratic candidate, by r18 votes. In 1826 he was re-elected over Dr. John McCamaut, the democratic candidate, by 453 Totes. His majorities were becoming less each time, and in order to satisfy bis federal friends of .bis fidelity to tte party, he had to declare that '-if be had a drop of democratic ; I TJTouid open them and let . biooa :n mis ti5 - il out-"; v-r8 after this (1S28) he changed Lis " Jind became a full blooded democrat, and ran for Congress as the democratic candidate, and was elected by virtue of General Jackson's noiml iritr. He was afraid to run a second popui.iruj. term, and he declined. - Jn 1M, he became Secretary of State, under Folk's administra- Hon, 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 fpark of title to it. "He extolled the Federal Administration ot John'Adams, and endorsed the abominab'c A- lien and Sedition laws of the federal reign of terror. He bitterly denounced me Aumnni- tration of that pure Democrat, James Madi son md ridiculed what he termed the follies of Thomas Jefferson. "In 1810 at a meeting in Lancaster, he re ported resolutions favoring resistance to the intension of Slavcrv, and the admission of the State of Missouri as a Slave State "In 1817 he wrote to the democracy of Boiks County, saying that the Missouri Compromise had given peace to the country, and that in steid of repealing it, he was in favor of its ex tension and maintenance. In 1850 in a letter to Col. Forney, rejoic ing over the settlement of the slavery ngita tion by the passage of the Compromise Mea sures during Fillmore's Administration, and hoping that before a dissolution of the Union that he might be gathered to his fathers, and never be permitted to witness the sad catas trophe. "In 1802 he wrote to Mr. Leake, of Virgi nia, concerning Fillmore's Compromise Mea sures of 1S50, which had been passed by Con gress, and said "that the volcano has been ex tingnished, and the man who would apply the firebrand to the combustible materials still ro maining will produce an eruption that will o vcrwhelm the Constitution and the Union." "On the 2Pth ol December, lS.Vj, about six months ago, Mr. Buchanan, in a letter to John Slidcll, of Louisiana, says : "The Missouri Compromise is cone, and cone forever. 1 1 has departed. The time for it has passed away, and the best, nay, the only mode now left of putting down the fanatical and reckless spirit of abolition at the North is to adhere to the existing settlement without the slightest tho't or appearance of wavering and without re garding any storm which may be raised a gainst it." There is the way James Buchanan, the nom inee ot the Democracy, appears on the record This will suffice to give the public an insight into the opinions which he has entertained at different periods, and enable them to judge of how much dependence can be placed in a msn who seems to have been more remarkable for consummate tact in changing position, than for anything else. Oi-r "Constitutional Rights." The Con- stitution guarentees "the liberty of Speech and of the Tress." Within a few weeks tclligent gentleman, wc presume that he reads two Trinting Offices have been destroyed by tiie papers, in which case he may have learn cannonade, for exercising the one, and a Sen- ed that the Brooks banquet is not without its ator in Congress beaten down and mangled in his seat, for availing himself of the other. The Constitution declares that "the right of the Tcople to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Within the past month per- sons acting under Federal authority have for cibly sji.cd two hundred ttand of arms, and a field-piece belonging to citizens of Kansas and turning them upon their lawful owners, have driven tlieni from their homes. There is a clause in the Constitution declar ing that 'no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.' The grass has hardly grown over the graves of Dow and Brown, the one shot and the other chopped to pieces by Federal permission; and Lawrence has been reduced to a heap of smoking ruins by Federal command. Such is American liberty in May 18oij. Douglas' threat is fast becoming a reality. We arc be ing "subdued." Wondkrs of the Tellgh Ai'ii. 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 stantaneous 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 moat striking achievement in the art of telegraph ing yet accomplished. Danger or Invasion. The U. S. Military Gazette says that the Government of Great Britain has issued orders that no military corps from New York, or any part ot the United States, shall be permitted to land on the Can ada side, with niuskots, rifles, swords or pis tols, or any war-like instruments.

The retreat of the Costa Rican army, which is fully confirmed, occur red from causes that will not at all suprise those w ho have perused the lucid account of its personnel and orgauizationjatcly furnished for our columns by a correspondent at San Jose. After the Battle ofRivas 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 consequence was, that, with the rapid put refaction of the tropics, tho-air of the locality presently lccamc infected, and the cholera broke out iu the camp. Indeed, our corres pondent states that with unaccountable stu 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 w-as the cholera than a panic broke out among the undiscipliucd troops, and their commander was at once com pelled to abandon the expedition and make his way back, with bis now dispirited aud 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' fighting Walker had been compelled 4to fall back ; but this was not done till he had put a greater number of Costa Ricans hora do com bat than bis own entire righting force. At that battle, according to our correspondent, Walker could only bring two hundred men in to actiou, the rest of bis army refusing to fight either 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 deal is said in the journals of Costa Rica about a powerful force from San Salvador and Guatamala, about to arrive and overthrow him, but there is no other sign of such a move ment. If one had recently been contemplated . , i 1 . .n i tv.o.1a ci m ii If -iTirli.t V with i it wonia iac . the invasion from Costa Rica, and the failure of that enterprise will not be likely to inspire the people of the other States with a desire to imitate it. Walker now evidently intends to renew the attack on Costa Hica fo unsuc cessfully commenced by Schlesinger. His men are clatnarous for it, under the impres sion that they will find plenty of money there, nn article they stand in need of, and the next arrival will probably bring the intelligence of the beginning of the campaign. Meanwhile Schlesinger is skulking about the country to avoid the well-deserved sentence of death pas sed upon him by a court martial. Steam communication with California is reestablish ed as well as with New York and Nevr.Orleans, so that the filibusters are iu the way ot receiv ing reinforcements. The elections are pro ceeding, and it is said Kivas will certainly be chosen President ; and altogether it must be admitted that the star cf Walker is just now in the ascendant. This being the case, we presume that President Pierce will now honor Padro Vigil with a more public reception, and allow the mutual complimentary speeches to appear in the official organ ; while the con spirators who are at the bottom of the whole business, can make their preparations for a new attempt ou Cuba, with San Juan del Norte as a staffing point, and for the dissolution of the American Union and the erection of a new Southercn slaveholding and slave trading confederacy as their ultimate aim. .V. 1". Tribune. THE CINCINNATI C0NVESTI0S. We last week noticed the inectiug 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 Jonx Ward, of Georgia, as President, a Vice 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 rpon all the necessity of conciliation and compromise. The rules of organization of the last National Convention . . ... ,,.,t.;, r f, were uuupieu o.i imi,.. ..a.. . ,,. t, r Uliiice. 1 11. uciu&an-a nuiit iv v. Columbia and the anti-Bcnton 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 ngain met. B. F. Hallett, chair man of the committee on resolutions, submit ted a report, which endorses and re-aftlrnis the general principles of the Convention that met in Baltimore in 1S52, and in addition sustains the Kansas-Nebraska bill, denounces the prin ciples of the Know-Nothings, declares the Democratic party tn favor of free seas and a progressive free trade, the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, and the Pacific Railroad, ex presses sympathy with the movement for "the regeneration of Central America," and asserts that the Democratic party will expect the next National Administration to make all proper efforts to secure American ascendancy in the Gulf of Mexico. After considerable discus sion, the report of the committee was adopted. The difficulty regarding the delegates from New York was adjusted by admitting one half Softs and an equal number of Hards. At two o'clock on Thursday the Convention proceeded to baliot for a caudidato for Presi dent. Fourteen ballots were had,wh;ch resul ted as follows, the fractional votes being those of divided delegations : Ballots. Buchanan. Pierce. Douglass.

The Buchanan men shrieked with delight, and upon the name of Franklin Pierce being here w ithdrawn, more cheers were given. A lGtb ballot was then taken, with the following result : Buchauan 1G8, Douglass 121, Cass C. On the 17th ballot, Buchanan received 29G votes, and declared the unanimous choice of the Convention. So James Buchanan is the candidate of the Democratic party for Piesi dent. John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was chosen as the candidate for Vice Presi dent. To Pekiokical Publishers The editor of the Washington (D. C.) Spectator designs to publish, abont August next, a list of all the periodicals from monthlies to dailies in the U nited States embracing California and the Territories with terms and general character, so far as he can ascertain them. To aid in making np his list, and in carry ing out his further plan he invites all publish ers to send him three copies of their publica tion, first issued after the fourth of July, (or such as shall contain fullest accounts of the ocenrrences of that day.) These he proposes to bind one sett to be filed in the Congres sional Library one in the Library of the Smithsonian Institution the other for his own sanctum. - . He also requests this notice may he inserted once, or more times, in the editorial columns of his cotemporaries. Those publishers who give it a place and Bend him a copy of their papers containing it, will be furnished -ith a copv of the list when published. WasHryoroy, D. C. May Sd. ISoS. WHO ARE THE POPULAR LEADERS ' Iff KANSAS. An ;uipres3ion seems to prevail extensively throughout the country at large that the lead ers ot the movement in favor of making a free State out of this Territory have all been strong anti-slavery meu In former times, r, in other word, Abolitionists. They have been the very reverse of this. Not one of them ever had any sympathy with the Free Soil or Liberty party, nor ever acted with it, so far as we are informed. The five most prominent men are Gov. Itobinson, Lieut. Gov. Robertson, Sen ators Keeder and Lane, and Mr. DeUiliaye. the members of Congress elect under the new Constitution. The first was born in Massachusetts, end both ther and in California, where he livad for s jtne years, actively supported one of the great parties which divided the nation Lp un til 1852. He never wis either a Liberty msn or a Free-soiler. In fact throughout his w hole life until he emigrated to Kansas, he took a decided tart a?ainst theui and their peculiar ' doctrines. Lieut. Gov. Robertson ii a native of Fay ette county, and was a leading and active member of the Democratic Legislature which assembled f.t Ilarrisburg in 18o4. He was, from the time cf the introduction of the Kan sas Nebraska bill into the Senate by Douglas until its passage, a warm advocate and friend of its principles. Lvery one in this State knows Alexander II. Keeder. All know he is a Pennsylvanian and a man of t. k-nts. His devotion to the Democratic faith procured from President Pierce his appointment to the Governorship of the Territory. His warm advocacy orsqnat ter sovereignty placed him in direct contact with the Free-soilers. Iu truth, he has been in collision with them throughout bis politi cal career. Mr. Lane was elected Lieut. Governor of Indiana by the Democratic party shortly after his return from the bloody field of Buena Vista, where he had wfon high renown. Sub sequently be was sent from the same State by that party to Cougress, and recorded hi3 vote in favor of the Nebraska bill. Dellihaye is a native of Alabama. Some years since be removed to Illinois and edited a Democratic Douglas paper. When he remo ved to Kansas, be took his press with bim 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, tiie chival rous citizens of that enlightened State threw his press into the rivei. llv is now decided ly in favor cf ireedom lor Kansas. Such are the men who are the leaders ot the Free State'party in Kansas, and such are their political antecedents. If they are Ab olitionists, then no man in thj North can es cape having that toubriiitut affixed to him. Origiual advocates of squatter sovereignty, they still believe that the people of Kansas should be iK?rniitted to govern themselves without interference from Missouri. Phila delphia Times.

A letter to The Republican, dated B.iptlite Paola, May SO, says that thirteen persons im plicated in the murder of the Po-Slavcry men at Ossawatotuie, have been arrested. Other reports say that the murderers are fori.iff.ed In a cave on the Marias del Cygnes, and are se curing re-enforcements from Lawrence aud j elsewhere. The leader of the Land 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 Drmc 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 w itl.iu a speci fied time, or suffer the consequences. Mr. Philips, the correspondent of the A". Y. Tri bune, being compelled to leave, weut to Law rence. Judge Conway, who 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 R iddle had also left. Several oth er have been commanded to leave. Mr.Shoc makcr, a land-receiver, and the Government officer in Kansas known to be a free-state man is to be notified to leave. Lady Leavenworth has also been advised to move away to avoid difficulty. The writer says the Free-state men do not manifest sufficient nerve for the crisis, but thinks that if the reports are trne that the Free-state settlers in the southern part of the Territory are in arms, and compelling the pro slavery men to retreat to Missouri, the effect will be good in the northern jart. It is re ported that five hundred men arc marching from Wisconsin to Kansas, but it is probably without foundation.

Another fight between the same parties occurred near Black Jack, in which 5 Abolitionists and 13 Pro-slavery men were killed, among whom were Capt. PattU r.nd Jame McGee. Capt. Long's company of Wyandotte Indians were united to Capt. pat ti3's command. It should be recollected that this is the ac count of a pro-slavery paper. The Columbus Statesman, of the 2Gtb, tays : "A citizen of this ptacc, who haa just return ed from the city cf New York, relates the fol lowing incident which fell under bis eyerbile st jouming in that place : While standing on the steps of one of the principal hotels, be saw a genteely clad young man approach a la dy who was apparently awaiting nn opportuni ty to cross the street, which was thronged with omnibusscs, drays, &c., and gallantly tendered his services to conduct her to the opposite side.

II had scarcely, however, recovered his natnral perpendicular when he was roughly seized by a stalwart individual who called to the lady, and inquired if she had not lost her pocket book. After feeling in her pocket, she replied iu the affirmative. The young man was then commanded to deliver up the etolen property, which he was seen to take from the lady's pocket while crossing the street.
