From the Charleston Mercury. Buchanan «n Slavery. XV r con!<3 multiply. from the record.-, of Congress, proofs in support of the position taken in our last article, that Mr. Buchanan, both by his votes and ppifcbes, was over ready to put down agitation, and to respect the rights of the .South in reference to slavery in the District of Columbia. Through out the year 1838. we find him steadily voting against the petitions, and denouncing agitation; an-! when, in spiff* of this policy. Abolition still cb- trn itsl itself in Congress, in 1837, Mr. Buchanan :r..„ ; side by side with Mr Calhoun, voting to lay the question of reception on the table. His record is certainly clear on that point. It lias baen said,and in South Carolina, that Mr. Be-it.mail was “a Frcesoiler.” This startling al legation is made < n the strength o: certain expres- saois used by Mr. Buchanan in his speech on Texas. We shall hereafter consider that speech; menu while, we invite oor renders earlier proofs upon the subject. In March. 1 ?3G. Arkansas applied for admission From. the London Times, June 17. 1 ■ er Majesty’s Ministers, considering that the Government of the Caited States had an undoubt ed right to dismiss Mr. Cramp! on and the three Consuls, if they had reasons of their own tor do ing so, have discreetly availed themselves of the same liberty not to dismiss Mr. Dailas. The American Government, after long deliberation, has adopted a half-measure, and ns far as a posi tive act could he qualified by any amount of ver- j bal assurances and invitations they have qualified j their dismissal of Mr. Brampton. They have dis- J missed the Minister, and expressed themselves en- ! tirely satisfied with the explanations of the Gov- i eminent which sent him out, which cave him the ; instructions thjjt led to the pr*“-. nt unhappy result. which sent their directions to him throughout, and i which declined to recall him when requested to do I so. It would be vain to say that we ean take l these assurances in .a Simple and natural sons*'.— j It is not to be supposed that the American Gov- j eminent does entirely acquit us of blame in this ( affair, or see a distinct line between the Govera- into the Union, and Mr. Buclrmcn presented the jand the conduct of the diplomatic agent — petition and reported the bill He stated that “he j * or tn<? purposes of conciliation or diplomacy it af- bid been requested by the D degates from Arkan- t “ 013 to consider our Govern:-- :it blameless ofthe excesses charged on its Minister.

In December, 1837, Mr. Calhoun submitted, in ♦ he Senate, certain resolutions, which, after con- 1‘rab.e. debate ar.d some modification, were adopted in the following form: L Resolved, That, iii the adoption of the Fede ral Constitution, the States adopting the same act ed. severally, as free, independent, and sovereign Sta.es ; and that each, for itself, by its own volun tary a*>v-nf, entered the Union with the view to its increased security against all dangers, domestic as well as foreign, and the more perfect and secure enjoytnent of its advantages, natural, political and social. “• Resolred, That in delegating a portion of their powers to be exercised by the Federal Govern ment, the States retained, severally, the exclusive and sole right over their own domestic institutions and police to the full extent to which those pow ers were not thus delegated, and are alone respon sible tor them; and that any intermeddling of any one or more States, or a combination of their citi zens. with the domestic institutions and police of the others, on any ground, political, inoial or reli gious, or under any pretext whatever, with the view to their alteration or subversion, is not war ranted by the Constitution, tending to endanger the domestic peace and tranquility of tie* States interfered with, subversive of the objects tor v. hieli the Constitution was formed, and, by necessary consequence, tending to weaken aud'destroy the Union itself. 3 Resolved, That the Government was institu ted and adopted by the several States of this Un ion as a common agent, in order to carry into * f- f-at the powers which they bad delegated by the Constitution for their mutual security and pros perity; and that in fulfillment of this high and sa cred tiust, this Government is hound so to exercise its powers, as not to interfere with the stability and security of the domestic institutions of the States that compose this Union : and that it is the s deinu duty of the Government to resist, to the ex- t utof ils constitutional power, all attempts by one portion of the Union to use it as an instrument to attack the domestic institutions of another, or to weaken or destroy such institutions. *1. Resolved, That domestic slavery, as it exists in the Southern and Western States of this Union, composes an important part of their domestic in stitutions, inherited from their ancestors, and ex isting at the adoption of the Constitution, by which it is recognised as constituting an impor tant element in the apportionment of powers among the States, and that no change of opinion or feeling on the part of the other States of the Union in relation to it, can justify tlieiu or their citizens in open and systematic attacks thereon, with the view to its overthrow ; and that all such attacks are in manifest violation of the mutual and solemn pledge to protect and defend each other, given by the States respectively, on entering into the constitutional compact which formed the Un ion. and as such are a manifest breach of faith, and a violation ot the most solemn obligations. 5. Resolved, That the interference by any of the citizens of any of the States, with a view to the abolition of slavery in tins District, is endanger ing the rights and security of the people of the District, and that any act or measure of ('ougress designed to abolish slavery iu this District, would be a violation of the faith implied in the cession by the States of Virginia and Maryland, a just cause of ala m to the people of the slaveholding States, and have a direct and inevitable tendency to disturb and endanger the Union. And Resol red. That any attempt of Congress to abolish slavery in any Territory of the United States in which it exists, would create serious al arm and just apprehension in the States sustain ing that domestic institution, would be a violation of good faith towards the inhabitants of any such Territory who have been permitted to settle with, and hold slaves therein, because the people of any such Territory have not asked for the abolition of slavery therein, and because when any such Ter ritory shall be admitted into the Union as a State, the people thereof shall be entitled to decide that question exclusively for themselves. During the discussion, Mr.Buchanan said; “On this exciting question J desire to do noth ing, as a member of this body, which can in the slightest degree, interfere with the constitutional rights of the r.iaveholdiag States. My f; standing alleged provocation to the contrary? At all events, could they not, without loss of honor, accept the overtures of pence made to soften a painful but inevitable act of offence? Undoubted ly the American government has carefully so put the matter that our dismissal ot its minister would be more than a retaliation. It w ould he returning the blow, and giving r. deaf ear to the mild ton s i that explained it. Wo were at liberty either to in I terpret the hand by the voice, or the voice by the ' hand. Government h is taken the former alterna j tive It is, after all. the safer course. At this moment it seems hardly the course that might ’ have been expected from a Mate that had jus! con cluded an honorable peace, after a sanguinary war with the greatest military Power in the world.— ; But even with that Power three short years ago we were parlying >n a way that gave li tie indiv.a- j tion of what was to follow. We held ourselves j then the more free to ac ; as we might think right, j because we knew* ourse lves v.*e were prepared for the worst* Doubtless a full confidence in the courage and resolution of the country has contri buted to the pacific choice of our Government It rightly judges that we can afford to yield, if we can do s>* without positive dishonor. In both Houses it will be observed the expla nations of Her Majesty’s Ministers are limited to the more immediate question pressed upon them by the dismissal of our Minister That is the first thing to he cousid: red,—whether or not w e shall continue diplomatic relations with the United Mates through the medium «f the gentleman now representing that Government at. our Court 1 — Neither Lord Clarendon nor Lord Palmerston says a word on the subject of Central America, really at the bottom ot the whole affair. They make no al lusion to Mr. Marcy’s refusal irf arbrifatfon on the sense of the treaty, and offer of a reference to a scientific authority: on some questions of fact laird Palmerston, indeed asssures us t’ at nothing more is intended by the slight addition to our naval lore* in that part of the world than to protect British property and sulgects, and to prevent need less collision. We shall not therefore, go into that matt) r, except just so much ns to express our con viction that, had not the United Stales’ Govern ment come to tht conclusion that it was expedient to get rid of the Ciavton-Biilwer Treaty in one way or another and clear the fields for political operations we should never heard a syllable of the recruiting question. It is evident that the United States’ Government is not very pressing for an im mediate solution of the Central American difficul ty. considering that just now things are going on favorably for its interests. r i lie recruiting ques tion. however had ripened to a recrifieal maturity, and could not be postponed. In ibis emergency the American President has perhaps, taken the mildest course that remained, short of giving it up altogether. No doubt, he could hardly have done that without damaging himself and his friends verv considerably with his people; and of course it is not to be expected that an American President should make a marty r of himself for the peace ot ihe world, still less for any consideration to the feelings of England. In saying that the United States’ Government has adopted a half measure, and that our govern ment has met it more than halfway,—in admitting that both sides had a right lo do w hat they have done—the one without giving offence, the other without loss of honor,—we donot for one moment blink the fact that the result, so far, is anything but flattering to the pride of this country. If there are any people in the United States capable of gratification at the fact, we certainly have been touched in our honor, and we submit with as much grace as we can to what all feel an insult. We have no disposition -to slur over that fact, for we are not without hope that the British people will he rather less liable to this species of annoyance for the future. We do not think the people of Eng land will henceforth sit by so quietly while proceed ings to which they have th giavest objection, and liegctations of winch they have uttered distrust, arc going on, nobody know s how, under the shield, of the Royal prerogative. The honor of England can badly be said to be in its own keeping, when month after month its representatives ask, and ask in vain, what has been done, v. hat complaints have been received from oilier Governments, what answers have been sent, what is the present state of the quarrel, and what its probable conclusion Througiiout tin; whole of this recruiting affair, and the correspondence arising out of it, the British public has only known the steps takenjhy its own Government when the American Government had alre ady acted upon them. We adhere to our j opinions, that the American Government has not „ *, as a public man, is as deeply staked upon the preserva- j acted with common generosity in this affair, am t.liai ri in of these rights as that of any other individual in its pretence ot l.esti nwjcstas. or offence against its the country. I have long since taken my stand, and from it I shall not be driven. / ilu not desire to maintain myself nt home, unless I ran do it irith a due regard to the rights and the safety of the people of the South. I am prepared, therefore, to adopt any just measure, within the pale of the Constitution, to settle this dangerous question, and to afford the grearest security to the slaveholding Mates.” It will be observed that these resolutions as sert: 1. The rights and sovereignty of the States, and the duty of the Government to protect them “again-t all dangers, domestic as well as foreign.” •J They condemn any interference whatever, by the citizens of one section, with the domestic in stitutions of the .South, as subversive of the Con stitution. 3. They condemn any legislation by Congress which,interferes w it li the Biability of the domestic institutions of the South, and binds it to resist all attempts at its being used by one section of the Union against the other. 4. They recognise domestic slavery as an essen tial element of the social organization of the South, and any assault upon it as a violation of ,aith be tween the sections. 5. They condemn any attempt to interfere with slavery in the District of Columbia. C. They recognise the right of the people of a Territory, when forming a .Stale Constitution, to deride the question of slavery for themselves. For all and each of these high constitutional propositions, Mr. Buchanan voted. When the sec- j ond resolution came up, Mr. Morris moved that the words “moral and religious” be stricken out, and Mr. Buchanan voted for the motion, because ‘ he thought the resolution teas quite as strung iritli the modification ns without it.” But he subsequent ly voted for the resolution containing these words. territorial sovereignty, is simply got up for the oc casion. Nevertheless the common sense cf this country would not have allowed Mr. Crumpton to go on, week after week, plunging deeper into a difficulty, at tin very moment when there was noth ing the American Coverntment so earnestly want ed for Central American purposes. Ofien and often indeed lias the British people been plunged into war or forced to humiliation before they knew what it was ail about, and by men w hose names had hardly reached them. We caunct but think that the time is going by for this sort of work. At least, if England makes no effort to stop it after the present affair, it deserves the consequences.

Lexington, Ky., June 23, 185C Gentlemen: T have received your letter of the 13th in-t., giving me official information of luy nomination by the Democratic National Conven tion fur the office of Vice President of the United Slates. I lccl profoundly grateful to the Democ racy for this distinction, so far above my merits and expectations, and accept the nomination, w ith the ph dge that if it should result in impos ing on me any public duties, 1 shall exert what ever power I possess to discharge them w ith fidel ity. The convention wisely selected for the first place in tin* government an eminent statesman, w hose character and public services furnish a guar antee that his administrarion will command con fidence at home and respect abroad. The platform adopted by the convention has my cordial approval. I regard it as the only basis on w hi eh the Union can be preserved in its original spirit. Adopted, as it was, by the unanimous vmes of the delegates from all the States, it show s .hat amidst the distractions of the times there re mains one united and powerful organization whose common principles extend over every foot ot terri tory covered by the Federal Constitution. After the recent repented and deplorable failures of oili er parties to present to tlie country a national or ganization, w c may justly congratulate the Stares upon the unanimity which marked the proceedings of the Democratic convention, and the patriot may point to the fact, as a pledge of constitutional un ion, that the dch-gates from Maine and Texas, from .South Carolina and California, were as tho roughly united upon every question of principle as those from the neighboring sou; bum States).:' of Tennessee and Kentucky, ortlu.se from the neighboring non hern States of Wisconsin and Michigan. 'i his community of sentiment, this feeling of brotherhood, giv> s hope of perpetual Union, it has been the happy fortune of the Democratic par ty, by adh. ring to the Constitution, which w..s made to protect us all, to avoid the geographical and sectional issue against which Washington solemnly warned his countn men. and we have every reason to believe that it is yet cquai to the high duty which now* devolves on it of preserving the Constitution, and maintaining the rights of every portion of the confed racy. If the unsound elements which troubled it for a time have sought Cong* nial associations elsewhere, the loss has be en more than supplied by accessions from ihe flower of the old Whig party; and thus rc-inforeed, it will be the destiny of the Democracy, tinder the lead of their distinguished chief, to maintain the high position of our country h fore the world—to pre- s'-rve ihe equality of every class ot citizens—to protect the perfect liber,y of conscience—and to | secure the peace of the Uniou, rendering equal justice to every party. With sincere ni know h*ilg> mi nts for tlie friend ly personal sentiments contained in your let ter, ! am, respectfully, your friend and obedient ser vant, * * John C. Breckenridge. Messrs.

After a continuous session of twenty hours, mulling from Wednesday noon, tlnougL the after noon and the night, and closing at about nine o - clock jiiursdav morning, 1 lit* new Kansas bill orig inally introduced in o tlie Senate by Mr. Toombs, ! of Geoigta, and adopt) d by the Committee on Ter- • ritori- s, wi.s passed by a vote of thirty-tlnee for [ the bill,to twelve against it. Kansas is to be a slave state. That was, we presume, on the part ol Mr. Douglas, the intent of ti e division of the Nebraska Territory, and the object of the Kausas-Nebraska bill. It is the particular put pose ol this bill; and if passed by tiie House Representatives, it will accomplish tin* work. Assuming, that with the aid of the Fillmore men in the House this bill will soon become a law j of the land, we have no hesitation in deoariugit | equivalent to the admission of Kansas as a slave j Mate, ’lit)* I'tcsid) nt is to appoint tlie eotumis- | sioners to carry out this iaw, and to superintend its I cxeeut.on; and after all tin* prescribed piviimimt- j lies shall have been fulfilled, the settlers of Kan- | sas, under tlie limitations set down, are to vote | upon the question of a new* constitution—siavi rv j or no slavery. The eream of the bill is in tlie ex- ) ciitive authority of Mr. Fierce, and in the limi tations defined. The “bord.-r ruffians,” by and with the advice and consent of the administra tion, have ex jo-11, d the bulk of abolition and free .Mate settlers by fire and sword; tlie T erritory is in the occupation of the pro-slavery squatters, in cluding, doubtless, many valuable land claims, town sites, &.C. conquered from the Northern emi grants colonics, and held by the ancient feudal tenure, that— He shall get who has the power, And he shall keep who can. The Northern abolition and free soil squatters thus driven off’, impoverished and dispossessed, w ill hardly d. sin* to try their unfortunate pilgrim age to Kansas over again; hut ii they should de sire it, they can hardly be mustered hack fiito Kansas in sufficient numbers to outvote, on the day appointed, the convenient Missourians, w ito have only a three month's so-jotuu to undergo in the Territory to rescue the golden prize. Hence our conviction that the passage of this bill is equivalent to the admission of Kansas, in so many words, as a slaveholding State; and we repeat that, taking the late House vote upon the “Free State hilt” as the test, we think this bill can be passed. From many years of close obser vation of the doings of Congress, we can safely assert that where a measure of sncli vast impor tance as this may require an additional vote or tw o to pass it, they can be secured. We may re fer to the tarriff bill of 1842, the tariff bill of i84(i, tlie Texas annexation resolutions, some vital points m tiie compromise measures of 185b, and to some of the close and critical votes upon the Kausas-Nebraska bill. These examples, and many others, hear us out in the conclusion that upon almost any great measure before Congress requir ing one, two, or three, or half a dozen additional votes to squeeze it through, they can be picked up, and often w here least expected.—N.

A Beautiful Sentiment from Mr Buchanan—We find the following beauti'ui and eloquent sentiment itia speech of Mr. Buchanan, delivered iu the House ot Representatives iu 1822. How perfectly lias it beer, illustrated by his subsequent public career? “If / know myself I am « politician neither of the Hast, nor of the lies/, of the North, nor the South—/ then fore shall jureter aroid any expressions, the direct tend' ncy of which must be to create sectional divisions, and at length disunion, that worst of alt political calamities ” Distinguished Visiters*.

They were accompanied from the Washington Junction by our townsman, the Hon. C J. Faulkm-r, under whose auspices they visited and examined the Government armories at Har per’s Ferry. The company were the guests of Mr. Faulkner during their stay at Martinsbmg. The tourists left here the next day for the West, and will no doubt continue to enjoy a delightful irip. The special train in which the party travels is in the charge of Capt Rawlins, a prince among rail road conductors, who will give them a safe aud pleasant trip, and. if desirable to learn something ot railroad speed, has the daring to “put them through.”— I'irginian Republican. Letter from Hod. Asbnry Hull. Athens, June 26, 1856, Editors of the Southern Banner : I am very well aware that my political position is of no importance to the public, but since, in your last issue you have announced that I had signified my intention to support the nominees of i hi Cincinnati Convention, a decent respect for ■ the opinions of many with whom 1 have hereto fore acted, but from whom I may now differ, as well as justice to ntyself, might seem to make it propertiiat I should confirm that announcement with my own signature. I have been, as you know, a uniform supporter if tiie Whig tneu and Whig principles, liince that party has been disbanded, aud for tlie two last yeats, 1 have been au inactive, bur. not a care less spectator of passing political events; and am now a private citizen, with no expectation and less desire of ever again seeking public office; only desirous of performing that duly which de volves on a private citizen, of so casting my vote, as may best conduce to the perpetuity of tiie Un ion, and the welfare of tiie Southern portion there of, where, from choice as well as necessity, it is my lot to live. I, for a long time, resisted the allegation that 'he northern wing of one of the national parties »v;:s more reliable for the South titan tlie other, but ri cert: events anil indication ■ have fi iced upon me the conviction that if we receive justice at me bauds of either party, it is, aud wiii be the L'em- ’ ocrattc. j For Mr. Fillmore I entertain tiie highest re- ! spect, and eight years ago, when au Elector for 1 the 6th Congressional District, cast n \ vote fot him tor Vico President with great confidence— which confidence I now feel was justifi d by his unexceptionable administration of the g- virn- ment; and I now say, if Mr. Fillmore cuu.d come into office, backed aud supported by sue!) a party as will vote for him in Georgia, It bolt, d hare th*.* same confidence that lie w ould adntinistei the gov ernment justly. But of his i ieetioti at all, and espi cially by such a party and support as i have alluded to. 1 see no prospect. The coutest in the coming presidential eh ction must, it appears to me, lie nan owed dow n be tween tin* Black Republicans and tlie Demociats In that condition ot allaits, cau any aoutheni man hesitate ! I cannot. The Cincinnati Convention lias nominated for tlie presidency, in my judgment, one of tne wisest, mosrexpciiene.il and safest men in their patty: one in whom tiie country lias cniifidcnc ; aud their nomination for the Vice Presidency w ill com pare much to its advantage with tlie numim e ot the American pat ty, both as to their present posi tion and antecedents. The principles avowed by the Democratic party are ci rtainiv to my mind, more favorable to the great interest which we {Southerners regard of the most importance to our well being, than the prin ciples of the party or parlies antagonistic, and therefore with the lights before me, and disregard ing party ties and prejudic* s. 1 think I shall best discharge my duty in voting for Buchanan and Breckenridge. I do not herein attempt to recite the events and indications, or educe the argottm-nts w hich have brought me to the conclusion at which 1 have ar rived. They are as public and as accessible to others as myself. Yours, respectfully, ASBURY HULL. From tlie Detroit Advertiser. Raising the Safe from the i’acilic. A submarine diver from Buffalo has at last suc- [ ceeded in raising the safe of the American Express ' Company w hich was lost when the Atlantic was i sunk off'Long Point in Je52.

Tlie upper deck of the steamer lies , one hundred and sixty feet below water, and farbe- j low* where then* is any current or motion. Every- | thing therefore is exactly as it first w ent dow n. When tlie diver nllighted upon tlie deck he was saluted by a beautiful lady, whose clothing w as well artanged, and her hair elegantly dressed. As he approached iter, the motion of the water caused au oscillation ol the head, as if gracefully bow ing to him. Mie w as standing erect, with one hand grasping the rigging.

Iu tlie office lie found the safe, and was enabled to move it w ith ease, and took it upon deck, w here tiie grappling irons were fasten d on, and tlie prize brought Safely to the light. Upon opening tiie safe it displayed its contents in t. pet feet state of preservation. • here was In the sate ijS5,ffnO in gold, ?f3,5:th in bills of the Government Bank, and a barge amount ofbiils on other banks, amount ing in all to about #36,000.

Tlie Know-Nothing presses are care lessly engaged in the wicked fabrication of tiie most monstrous and unfounded charges against Mr. Ruclian.-iii—till of which have been thoroughly refuted. They play at a dangerous game and necessarily provoke an investigation into the record of their own candidate, Fillmore.—YYliat they charge upon Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Fillmore has actually done. The official records, as cited with conclusive power by our cor- respeondent, “Bridge City,” demonstrate that during Mr. Fillmore’s career in Gon- | gross, whenever the question of slavery was involved, lit* uniformly voted against tiie South—that he stood, upon every such occasion with Giddings, Slade and Adams —that lie voted in favor of potions asking that slavery be abolished in the District of | Columbia and the 'Territory, and that no new Territory tolerating slavery he admit ted into the Union—that he voted against a resolution affirming the unconstitutiona lity ofany law by Congress prohibiting the internal slave trade between the States— that he opposed tlie annexation of 'Texas because of the existence of slavery there— that in 1847 lie denounced, in a speech at Rochester, N. Y., “the aggressions of the slave power”—that in the same year he was run for Comptrollers New York as the nominee of the Whig Convention which declared by one of their resolutions, “their uncompromising hostility to the extension of slavery into Territory now free, or which may hereafter be acquired by any action of the government ofthe Union”— that tie lias never disavowed any of these opinions, except in relation to tlie internal slave trade in a letter to 31 r. James Brooks, and in that, falsified the truth of history— the lie never began to he conservative until lie became a candidate for Vice President, and that lie has never yet done, one thing from which any man can conclude that lie entertains any other feelings towards the South than those he. originally express ed—that he is opposed to the repeal ofthe Missouri Compromise, or was, up to the time of Mr. Kennedy’s letter, and that “knowing no South,” lie is not entitled to receive Southern votes. And while all this is made manifest by Mr. Fillmore’s votes, we defy the production of a single vote ever given by Mr. Buchanan in Con gress adverse to the South [ llichmond Enquirer. Literally observed.—The American Organ., pub lished at Washington, came out with a Hatning article just bi fore the recent Municipal eleclions in that city, which contained the follow ing b* ii- tunce: “Americans, to your posts!

The bells did toD in memory of the dead, but it failed to give the mob its victory in the result. Hards and Softs. We learn from very good authority, that the Hards have determined to change the time for the meeting of their Convention to nominate Presiden tial Electors to the day a ready fixed by the Softs, so that the action ofthe two Conventions may he simultaneous and harmonious. The plan of hold ing two conventions is wrong; but they were called in the. first instance to be held on different days, w hich would have made harmony of action diffi cult. The Hards, in receding tren: their deter mination to name a different day from the Softs, have done ail they could to correct the error they in the first instance made in re fusing to call only a single Convention. Had they agreed to the pro position made to them to merge the two parties into one by having but one Com i ll!ion, a mat) rial step would have been talo n in the right direction.— Better counsels, however, have .rineo prevail) d, as is shown in the piv’imireai v imivenn iit now in.-.ire, looking to complete harmony of action on the as semblage of the two Conventions. One Ehvtoi.-.l ticket, will doubtless he assented to, and we hope one organization All outsiders—by whirl: we mean those who look merely to ti e good of the country without being or. didates tor office—are urgent for a complete union between the two sec tions, so that the great national battle to be fought in November may be entered upon with the im mense advnutagi w hich hiinuoi v would impart.— The difficulties interposed in the way of adjust ment come from office seekers, and those wire look steadily to the sj<ciks.

'1 hat Convention strongly urged upon the Hards and Softs that they should unite: and we must say ttint ihe Hards have shown less willing ness to carry out the recommendation than the Softs. The influence of enemies has been felt in producing this disagreement. l ire instruments upon whom th**y work, should he known nmire- mrembered. New York, if a harmonious spirit shall be exhibited, will have, part ofthe honor of electing Mr. Buchanan. Those who stand in the wav i f union, will have credit for depriving the State of the position she would, in that event, so gloriously have earned. The persons who control the organization of parties are generally so unfit for the duty, that they disgust respectable men with the work, and expel them from all connection w ith public affairs. The iutelligi nt and patriotic Whigs of the country, should they mix themselves with the Democratic force, would give it what it wants,—a more conser vative character. We know from much observa- I tion. that every man of character and means in the ranks of the. Democracy, has infinitely more weight and influence in deciding its policy, than a hundred rogues. All parti) s have many points of resemblance, and particularly in this respect, that low and mean men have been elevated to places of control in both. They should he displaced by the | power of public opinion, and several parties j turned over into the hands of those w ho w ill nian- ! age them for patriotic objects. If respectable men j shall be sent to the Conventions to be held at Sy racuse on the 3Uth of July, an important step will be taken in this direction. An electoiial ticket should be composed of the highest names which the party can select. The selection of such a ticket is eminently due to the noble staff stnar. put forth by the Democracy for the votes ofthe State. It can scarcely he formed of tlie proper material, if the two Conventions to meet on that day, shall represent those who are mainly bent on securing office and the spoils. —Journal of Com merce. The Liberty of' Speech and of the Press. The following paragraph is taken from the speech of Senator Butler, in answer to Mr. Sum- tier. There is in it a great deal of political phil osophy: “The liberty of the speech anil of the press is the great conservative element of a repuhlie. it is to the political what tire is to tin* material world—a subservient and affluent minister, when under tin* control of prudence and intelligence; hut, when unchecked and unregulated, a consuming fire, withering and blasting everything aloiu** its pathway of ruin. Render freedom of speech tribu tary in rite proprieties, decencies and restraints of social lif.*, and you may crow n it with all the ministries and supremacies ot intelleet and liberty; but release it from them, aud it becomes a blind and maddened giant of evil, t) aring down the bttl- warks of social order, and desecrating the very sanctuary of republican liberty. What would veu think of a reckless man who should set fin* to*his own house, or should go about claiming the priv ilege of throwing his fire wherever he could among the most combustible materials, and say lie has tiie light to do so on the giound that he was a iVi euuin, and cou d do as he pleased. “Away with such liberty! Liberty that is worth anything must be in the harness of the law. Liberty of speech and ofthe press must have two restraints. Tlie liist is the highest, w hich will go\ iu a class of men who cannot violate it—the obligations of honor, decency and justice. Anoth er restiaiut upon licentiousness is that a man may speak mid publish w hat he pleases with a knowledge lie is amenable to the tribunals of the aw for what he has done. Congress cannot pass any statute to say that man shall not write against religion, or against the governnn nt. or against in dividuals. Neither can Congress pass a law, nor can any State pass a law. depriving the. tribunal* of tin country of the right of saying whether you ha\e gone beyond the limits of liberty, and having used your power, under that name, with reckless- j in ss. w ith a licentious indifference to tlie feelings : of individuals, and the consequence upon socii tv. | i do not wish to live in any community where it is otherwise. The press is losing its pow er, and it ought to do it; tor it is now beginning to be an engine of private revenge and individual expres sion. instead of being a responsible organ of pub lic opinion.” Buchanan and Breckenidgc. I The Washington correspondent of the Puritan Recorder writes thus of the democratic cand- -didates:— “Jam s Buchanan seems to be their chosen man, a bachelor of 65, not mixed up with the modern strifes, long the candidate of Pennsylva nia. lately pushed forward with determined res olution, and with signal success. He lias good habits, a clear head, firmness of mind, large ex perience, and a high and impartial spirit. He is a Presbyterian, diuiominationally, and a regular church-goer*, kind to ministers, mu a firm believ er in the necessity of religion as the conservative element in the prosperity of the republic. John C. Breckenridge is a young man, of a noted Pres byterian family of Kentucky; the grand-son of a former attorney general of the United States, and the rrephew of three Presbyterian ministers; a n;emb-r of tlie last Congress of Clay’s district, voted for by many whig*. IK* lias hereby obtain ed the constitutional age (35) for the office of vice president to which he has been nominated. He is no office-seeker, but a man of excellent dignity; strong domestic attachments, and habits, and sound abilities. He would even adorn tlie presi dential chair. It is a good sign, amid all the tineateuing ones of the times, that a great excited political convention should so cordially select two such men for the first offices in the nation. Calumny will find little to feed on in the character of these men.” Black Republican Objections to Mr. Buchanan.— The New Y ork Tribune is cutting away at our nominees in its usual ferocious style. It says: As to Mr. Buchanan, lie has riot only pledged himself to the slavery exteusionists, but his spe cial friends are* of that color. Why, the. most in fluential and confidential of them is Air. Forney, one ofthe foremost in forcing the Kansas Nebras ka bill through Congress bv means of Executive patronage and influence. Next, there is .Slidell, of Louisiana, who voted for that bill, and did his utmost to secure its passage. And then there is Douglas, readiest of all opposing candidates to withdraw in liuehanan’s behalf at Cincinnati, and the loudest advocate of his election. Associated with Mr. B on the ticket, as Vice President, is John C. Breckenridge, one of tiie most vehement and untiring supporters of the Nebraska bill in the last House, where he made himself conspicu ous iu bullying members into its support. Need we goon with the list? Is it not plain that tiie election of Buchanan, so for from righting the wrongs committed by the Democratic party through Pierce and Ids colleagues, will oulv give that party a new agent to continue the satire atro cious policy? Tlie little squad of one-horse politicaus and edi tors iu the South who support Mr. Fillmore, will be attempting to make the southern people believe Mr. Buchanan is himself a Black Republican be fore the campaign closes. Mark it. Ilollntcnt/s Ointment and Pills, certain Remedies for Bail Legs and Old Wounds.—Alfred Gosiet, aged 27, was for nine years afflicted with an awful ly bad leg, there were; several wounds in it, which defied all tiie doctors’ skill and ingenuity to heal. He tried a variety of remedies, but was not bene- fitted by the same. At last he was pursuaded to have recourse to Holoway's Ointment and Pills, these remedies quickly effected a very favorable change, and by continuing them unremittingly for three mouths, his leg was completely cured aud his general health thoroughly established. That Flag. “Tho’ many and bright are the stars that appear In the flag by our country unfurl’d; Andthe stripes that are swelling in majesty there, Like rainbows adorning the world; Their light is unsullied, as those in the sky, By a deed that our fathers have done, Aud they are legu< d in as true and holy a tie In that motto “.man y is one,” Reader, in looking at tlie flag of our countn-, beating upon it tiie tame of “Fremont,” did it ever occur to you that it waves over but half tiie Union? Immagine yourseif looking dow n from some majes tic mountain upon the American Union, and be holding the flag of your country bearing the name off ‘Fremont,” flyimr w ith evil portent over sixteen states and disappearing entirely from the hands of their fifteen sisters! The stars upon that flag w ere leagued together, “many in one,” by the fathers of (he republic. Now fifteen of their number are to shoot from its streaming folds like meteors to tin- ear.it! Such is to be the direful fate of our count) v if t iie flag of Fremont is sustained l>v tlie north.— Wliere isihe patriot? where is tiie lover of his coun try where is the lever of freedom throughout tire w orld;’ I low nuts! he contemplate tin’s fratricidal assault nj on cur sacred Union? How must he regard tins fearful attempt to produce au eternal aiieniatioti among tlie states of America? Will he not cry shame! shame upon the fracticides whose work of dissolution is the beginning ofthe end?— wilt he not trample tlieii torn, despoiled, and pirat ical flag in the dust? Will he not raily round the standard hearer of tire democracy, who sets his face as flint against all sectional conflicts? V* ill he not rally round that other flag, which waves over eve ry state in the Union? Yi s. lie will. Ihe traitors of the coun try with the short quick breath of alarm will soon learn that the noble flag of James Bu chanan “Shall yet terrific burn. Till danger's troubled night depart And the stars of peace return.’' There are those now supporting John C. Fre mont fur the Presidency who are willing to drive an entire section into an act of secession, for the sake cf obtaining a iittle brief authority over what would he left. But will they be permitted to do it? Is not a single star upon tlie American i-n-ign of more value than the promotion of a thousand Fremonts, or tlie aggrandisements of mil lions of his satellites? We ask the patriot to pon der and reflect. We ask him to decide this ques tion, and to govern himself with a due regard for his country, his whole country, and nothing but his country. Should lie do so he will rally to the support of Buchanan and Breckenridge, with a zreal that will know no abatement till the work is done.— Belfast Free Press.

The Fillmore men, xvhen confronted with tho foil}*, nay, danger of dividing the South in tlie coming contest, excuse themselves by saying, that if Fillmore and donelson are not run at. the South, their friends at tho North will hack out and go ov**r to Fremont, and thus make certain for Fre mont some States that are doubtful, and which might otherwise vote for Fillmore or Buchanan.

From that speech xve make the following extract. “This repeal seems to have hc.ru a Pandora’s box, out of xx hieli has issued all tlie political evils that now afflict the country, scarcely leaving a hope behind.” Mr. Fillmore regards tin* obliteration of the odi ous Missouri restriction as the "Pandora’s box, out of which has issued all the political evils that noxv afflict the country.” Now, this is rite man the Southern Know Nothings are endeavoring to- plaoe in the Executive chair of the nation! What more does Fremont, or Gret.-ly, or any ofthe Black Republicans say? They all condemn tho legisla- tfii-u which took tho restriction off the territory- above 36 deg. 30 minutes. Hoxv does Mr. Fillmore propose to restore tbe country to its condition, prior to the repeal of the Missouri restriction? Does any Southern Knoxv Nothing pretend to say that Mr. Fillmore will not do all in his poxx er to restore the Missouri Compromise line, and thus abate the “political evils” xx hieli he says were the result of that legislation? If all these “evils issued out of that legislation, w ho doubts that Mr. trillinore xvould give his sanction Lo a bill to restore the Missouri restriction?

In the day that that policy i» triumphant, far better xvould be the fate of such a Southern man if a mill-stone were tied about his nock, and his body sunk in the ocean.
