[From the Lancaster Intelligencefi] Since this war begun, no man in the whole country has been so much vilified, lied ugon, andAabused as ex-President James uchaunn. The most. baselesschnr ges have been constantly made against him, and the most unlikely untruchs reported. until no doubt nome'honest people believed them. It seemed to be useless for Demo- and other democratic newspapers. but. re~ viveg! again only a few days since by the New York Post. The letter first appeared in the New .York Tribune of Wednesday. There is not. one of the calumnies against Mr. Buchanan with which the Abolition newspapers have delighted to fill their col umns, which cannot be as fully and com pletely rciutcd as the above baseless charge. This Wlll yet be done to the entire satisfac tion of candid men of All parties. Impar tial history will vindicate his fame, and set \his public career in such a. light. that. it shall at once be known and recognized through out ghe future as pure, wise, and eminently pairioiic :‘ ' ‘ To the Editor of the New York Post: > Six: In the New York Tribu'lf of yester- tion, immeu. tely' _ Accol‘ding to it: “A silence ensued for a few moments, as if the Convention was un ticipiiting something prepared. when Judge Blndk of Pennsylvania, (afterward Attorney. General under Buchanan,) rose in his place, and made a set speech, in which lie pr ceeded' to denounce "Abolitioniun" a (1‘ “Black Republicanism" very freely. n to argu’e that the States possessed, und {the Constitution, the right of secessio . He: went further. and told the Conve ion that if the nominee was elected, Hiya.

Hut] anyl person, in or out of the Convention, din-edl :to‘make e‘ipledge in his behalf, on this or! I any other subject, such an act would have i been condemned a few days thereafter byl i the terms of his letter accepting the nomi- i ! nation. In this,-al‘ter expressing his thanks I g for the honor conferred, he says that, . ' “Deeply sensible of the vast and varled re- ' isponsibility sttached to the station, espe. ‘2 cutlly at the present crisis in our nfi'nirs, I l have carefully refrained from seeking theiiomina-t tion, either by word or deed;” and this statement. ‘ is emphatically true. i l A . few words in regard to the alleged [ l “dead lock" in the Cincinnati Convention i l at the time of its adjournment, on the eve . ning of the sth ofJune, after fourteen bal ilots had been taken for 8 candidate. It appears from its proceedings, as otficially giblished, that on each of these balloting, r. Buchanan received a plurality, and on the sixth 'attained a majority of all the votes of the Convention; but 'not the required l two-thirds. On the fourteenth and last i ballot of that evening, the vote stood 152} for Buchanan ; 75 for Pierce; 63 for Ron glss; and 5} for Case. This being the te of‘ho case, when the Convention assem bled‘xhe next morning the New Hampshire delegation withdrew the name of General Pierce and the Illinois delegation with drew that of Judge Douglas, in obedience to the instructions from home by telegraph on the day bafore the balletings had com , menced. After this the nomination of Mr. l Buchanan seemed to be a matter of course. 1119 had never heard at a “dead lock” in l the Convention or anything like it, until lhe read the article in The Post ,_ ___ _ It may be proper to state that 001. Samuel W. Black, of Pittsburg, Was a delegate to the Cincinnati Convention from Pennsylva nia, and being well known as a ready and eloquent speaker, “shouts were raised”. for a speech from him, immediately after the nomination was announced. To these be briefly responded in en able and en thusias tic manner. From the identity of their sur nameq. had this response, xeported with the proceedings, contained the infamous pledge attributed to Judge Black, or any thing like it, we might in charity have in ferred that the author of the article had merely mietaken the one name for the other. But there is nothing in what Col. Black said which affords the least color for any such mistake. ' Col. Black afterwards sealed his hostility toSecession with his blood. At an early stage of the war, he fell mortally wounded on the field of battle, while gallentiy lead ing on his regiment a§sinst the rebels.

DOLLARS A‘YEAK THE DEKOGBATIC PARTY. “The life and strength of the old Demo cratic party wee its natiunal spirit. From its earliest history this never failed to assert itself clearly. fervently, we may say, indeed, fiercely. on every question involving the preservation. or the enlargement, or the honor a'nd glory of the country. In our great controversies with» England, with France, with Mexico, it was peculiarly the war party. In every minor dispute with other nations, it was always the partyzmost apt to plant itself on high pretensions and extremeeleims. In our domestic sfi'sirs. it was the party that always labored mast err neatly to put down sectional discord, and to strength en the bomb qftlte Unim't.” The above extract is from slate number of the New York Times, as bitter s partisan Abolition newspaper as there is one in the country. Let every mun-who fondly hopes for the extinguishm tot" the grant Demo cratic party read it ; %every one who pre dicts its death ponder it well. It is a c ear recognition of the wisdom and patriotism of the past course of the Democratic pnrty, and, by plain implication. is condemnation of those who, like the New York Times. ; ‘ ve stood opposed to it. It is much for! ,on rent political party to he nhle to pre sent z ecord ofpast history so pure and-l fair lhn at even its hittcrest Opponents‘ can success lly attack it. Such is the re cord, of the >- t mocrntic party in the post.

Every man i was so re in every right tlmt could attach v to pe son and property. To defend these. I | r'_h s, all and each at them. it considered it“ its bounden duty. While it was in 1 nwer boy were all secure, even to the, : umhieslgiéizen.

Amid the fierce storm which i raged it stood firm, determined not to yield the incl-ed rights ofthe citizen to the grasp ofhrbitrnry power, without pronoun cmg its protest and doing all it could to; check the advance of the enemies oi liber ty. Abused, rewled, threatened~seeing men thrust into prison without form of law, and detained or released as the caprices of those in power dictated—it still protested boldlyontld fearlessly. It contented itself {of the ,time being with protests alone. Why? Because it feared to do more than i this? Nay. verily. It knew always that it i had the physical resources at command to 1 put an end to all such acts of despotic“ power in, a most summary manner. Why i did it not use them? Does any one need ‘ to ask I ' ltms because it chose to sum-r shame, andoutrnge even, for the time being, rather than complicates the difficulties un der which the nation was struggling. In this. as in all else, it was mo'ved hy deep-l seated devotion to the best interests'oi’ the people. It waited patiently and hopefully 1 forLthe return of calmer times. being sure that with the’ subsidence of— passion the people would hear the words of wisdom“ and no longer turn a deaf ear to the coun sels of reason. _ > i Thank God, the mists nfpassion nnd de lusion are being repidl’y scattered. the po litical sky is clearing, the night of terror is passing away, we hope never to return again. The people wl l now hear words of truth and eoberness. they will listen to them, they willcheriah them, they will act upon them, Jealousy of their civil rights will again speedily become the distinguish ing characteristic of the American citizen. They will not allow a single one of those rights to be touched by the hand ofsrbitrs my power. The sooner those in authority recognize the swekenin of this spirit the better for them. The guy for arbitrary er rests and for substituting military tribunals for court: of justice is past. The sooner all concerned recognize this for a fact the better. . The film of passion and delusion which has darkened the vision of many good men is dispersing, and the day is not far distant when the wise and inst grinciples of the Democratic party will be in the ascendent and the helm of the ship of State once more in its hands. Then will the new ere ofpeace and harmony be permanently established, and our country will enter upon 3 career of prosperity which will blot out the ravages of four years of war. while it hurries into merited oblivion the names of all those who were instrumental in bringing it about.— Lana.
