CuMMIKIOMra OT COSIMOM trllOOLI, II. II. 1IAUNEY. JAMES BUCHANAN. A sketch of the life and services of James Buchanan, bo widely known for his eminent abilities os a statesman and his exemplary character in private life, would seem a work of superrerogation, under ordinary circum stances. The pages of impartial history will bear to future generations the record of his acts is a public man, while his generous sympathies far the masses and his numer ous acts of kindness will be cherished by the recipients of his favors long after he shall be laid In the silent tomb. He has, howev er, become the standard boarer of the great Democratic party, and it is customary on such occasions to refresh the minds of the people with the antecedents of the man up on whom this honor has been conferred. Sir. Buchanan is sixty-five years of oge, and in the vigor of health, intellectually and physically. He was born in Franklin coun ty, Pa., of honest and industrious parents. Having received a good education, he stud ied law in the county of Lancaster, where ho has continued to resido ever since. In 1314 and 1815, he was elected to the Leg islature, where he exhibited those powers of intellect which gave promise of future emi nence. In his profession he arose to a high distinction and was clasbed among the best of the many able legal men of which Penn sylvania then boasted. In 1820, Mr. BvcnxxiH was elected to t ho Lower Houso of Congress, and retained that position for ten years, when he volun tarily resigned. Ho was tho warm and ar dent defender of Mr. Monroe, the active op ponent of the administration of John Q. Adams, and the consistent and trusted friend of Andrew Jackson. As early as 1815, he expressed opinions hostile to the U. S. Bank and was conspicuous in his opposition to it during the struggle that followed between the people and that monster monied power. Of courso he was bitterly assailed by tho opposition, and calumny and reproach heap ed upon him by tho friends of tho bank with out stint ; but, like tho old hero of the her mitage, he lived down tho slanders by the uprightness of his life and the consistency of his political courso. After retirinz from Congress in 1831, he recieved from Gen Jackson the appointment of Minister to Russia. He accepted the offer, and ful filled his mission with marked ability. He negotiated tho first commercial treaty be- tween this Government and Russia, which secured to American merchants many im portant advantages. In 1834 Mr. Buchana.t was elected to the United States Senate. He held this po cition until the 3d of March, 1845, when he resigned. Mr. Polk tendered him the post of Secretary of State and he immediately ac- ccptod it, and entered upon the duties of that important office. How well and ably he acquitted himself in that position is known to all. The distinguished ability with which he demonstrated our clear and unquestiona ble title to Oregon is yet fresh in the minds of the people. So overwhelming were his proofs and arguments that he won the ap plause of tho whole liberal world, and his papers on that subject were translated and published in several of the European lan guages. He remained in Mr. Polk's cabi net during the Mexican war, and aided by his sound statesmanship, and great wisdom to make tho administration a successful and a brilliant one. Upon the closo of Mr. Polk's term, Mr. Buchanan returned to his native State and in the quiet of his country home engaged in pursuits congenial to his tastes, until the election of Gen. Pierce to the Presidency. It has been customary to select from among the ablest and most ex perienced of our statesmen, a man to repre sent this government at the Court of St. James. The appointment of Mr. Buchan an to fill that mission was creditable to the judgment of the President, and gave great satisfaction to the whole country. The manner in which he has performed the deli cate duties of that post for three years past, . has only confirmed and strengthened the confidence placed in him. The important questions existing between the two govern ments, either of which upon a sTight blunder of the American Minister might have led to an open irruption, have all been safe in the care of Mr. Bvchahait. Like the many other honorable posts which he has occupied within the past forty years, it has, as it were, j a of received from him new dignity and Impor tance. Such is the outline history of the tnan whom the Democratio party bas nomi nated for the Chief Magistracy. Ia the pres ent critical slate of the country, when we are likely to have a war with a foreign pow er whon such important tad exciting ques tions are to be settled both in civil and for eign affairs it is a matter of pride and re joicing among Democrats that one so well known as James Buchahah has been nomi nated for tho Presidency. All feel confi dent that his administration will be charac terized by wisdom and firmness. John C. Fremont. The Black Republicans or rather the conglomerated assemblage of all the isms in the country which have united to defeat the Democratic party have nominated J C. Fremont as a candidate for tho Presides cy. He is the son of a Frenchman, who died in indigent circumstances, leaving John, then young, to the tender mercies of the world. Some benevolent ladies of Charles ton, South Carolina, took him under their patronage, and to them be owes a liberal ed ucation, and In a gteat measure, his success in lite. He ran away with and married one of Col. Benton's daughters which gave him some notoriety at the time and helped him to a friend whose influence baa aided him to a good reputation. He is chiefly celebra ted, however, for several exploring expcdi tions which he made across the Rocky Mountains to California and Oregon, under authority of the Government, through the influence of his father-in law. In these ex pedilions he acted as the hero and the his torian, and hia reports of his own actions were very generally circulated by his friends and as generally read. In the Mexican war he figured in a manner which history does njt make altogether clear. He went to California early and succeeded in, getting possession of a large estate upon which gold was afterwards found in abundance, and he made in this speculation some ten millions of dollars. He was elected U. S. Senator from California because he was the son-in law of Col. Benton, and not because he pos scssed any qualifications for that high post. He occupied a seat in that body for a few months and then sunk into utter insignifl cance. There are few who now remember him as a Senator so entirely incapable was he of making his mark in that capacity. In politics Mr. Fremont was a Democrat until he found a chance of promotion to the Presidency by being something else. He ia a slaveholder, however, and therefore does not sympathise with Greeley, Chase &i Co., in their crusade against the South, merely opposing the extension of slavery in the territories. His hobby, is the Pacific Railroad and this he rides all the time. A correspondent of the Boston Pilot, a Catho' lie paper, says he is a Catholic. Only think of it ! Abolitionists are ask ed to to vote for a slave holder and Know Nothings for a Catholic ! Who are the " doughface "now J Which party is it that bows to the "slave oligarchs " J Who "knuckles to Catholics!" What party "upholds Popery!" Alas! "Othello's occupation's gone ! " Abolitionism hos "let down" and Black Republican Know Noth ingism is defunct or rather, ignored for present purposes. We shall see if Frce mont's ten millions will buy an election as well as a nomination ! Sumner's Wounds. The Black Republican papers, especially the New York Tribune, have circulated re ports to the effect that Mr. Sumner was in a very critical situation likely to die mor tification taking place-and all that sort of thing. Greeley, perhaps, hoped he would die his demise would have been such a god send to the Republican cause. But Sum ncr wouldn't consent to "peg out," and it now appears that there was not the romc- test danger of such a result from the chas tisement he received from Brooks. His phy. sician testifies that his injuries were "only flesh wounds" that he need not have been confined to his bed one moment" on account of them that he "might have taken a car riage and driven as far as Baltimore, on tho next day (after the assault) without any in jury, ate. It does appear to us, in all sin cerity, that the course pursued by tho abo lition journals and the Greeley clique at Washington in regard to this Sumner and Brooks affair, is simply contemptible. I A Mistake. We clip the following from tin Portsmouth Daily Times : "We wonder how Col. Benton. Mr. Fri- mont's fathcr-in-law, will stand affected by this nomination ! Will a fatherl feelino- spring up in his heart strong enough to over come his party predilections ! We rather think that such a feeling will take root in his heart, for he has not, for some vears. stood very "flat-footed" on the Democratic platform. He may harmonize with the Re publicans on the score of acquiescence in his great project the Pacific Railroad, as the Democrats would not allow it to form a part of their Cincinnati platform. Time alone will decide the matter." The Times is mistaken in regard to the Pacific Railroad not forming a part of the Democratic Platform. The resolution fa voring that project was not agreed to by the Committee on Resolutions.whose report was adopted on Wednesday, but on Friday, af ter the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, the Convention passed a resolution which was perfectly satisfactory to the friends of the road. From the tone of the Times we do not be lieve it would do the Democrats intentional injustice, and we therefore merely call its attention to the error. Indiana all Right. The Louisville Democrat says : "The Democrats have car ried every city and town in Indiana by over whelming majorities, with the exception Jeffersonville.aod there they have gained 100 rotes since the election last rear. All hail, Indiana ! This secures her for the Dem ocratic nominee lor the Presidency." The Great Democratic Ratification Meeting at New York. We copy the following from the Day Book: "It is no extravagant estimation to tar that thete were at least &O,00O persons in the Pack last evening, to respond to the nomination of Buchau in and Breckinridge, for President and Vice President of the Uui ted States. We never saw greater enthusi asm for nominees of any Na'ioual Conven tion. The people were out in their might, and the beart of the Democracy respuuded to the domes at umcinnati wunoue tumultu ous shout.

The 'ollowing is from the New York Mir ror find Am.): Mr. Shepard made a brief Speech on taking uie iiiair, in me course ui which ue sum ; "It is desirable that the distinguished citi zens of other States now present should feel, wnat is indeed trie truth, that l ne Democra cy of New York are no longer divided; that these nominations have brought hsSUug up on their wings: that Hards and bolts are now engaged in a new contest, a generous rivalry as to which shall first subdue their own prej udices and render the most efficient service in the common cause against out common ene roies." At the close of Mr. Shepard's remarks.Mr. Uonrad bwackhamer read a series oi resoiu tions, which were unanimously adopted. Uen. Ward, of Ga.. President of the Cincin nati Convention, was the first speaker, Mr. Avery, of N. C, the second, Senator Doug las, the third, with Hon. Howell Cobb, Col Garder and T.

DurinR the proceedings there were occa' sional interruptions, caused by the arrival of clubs and delegations; but all things went on harmoniously.

The National Intelligencer, the time hon ored organ of the once proud and strong Whig party, pays Air. Buchanan this com- pliment: "Mr. Buchanan is a man of charcater. of siainiess private ti:e, and ot long and varied experience mpuoiic auairs. As a gentleman we have nothing to object to him save his party politics and party career; and.although we trust that tlie anti-democratic conserva tive power of the country will be able to beat him, yet if they should fail they may still hope thht 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 plat jorm upon which he tut been olaued bv trie convention." Why don't they denounce! Why don't the democrats rlen oun the ruffian Brooks? So ask our Fusion friends at every corner :f th street." Wo sujwat, mat to lar at w have heard individual Dem ocrats express themselves on the subject.they re quite as indignant ai the case demands. It was in outrage eaurcly unjustifiable from the facts so far reported, and Democrats, like other men, feel it deeply and sincerely. But it does not follow that they must mix with the rusiorusts, ring bells, and drum on old tin pans, to setup indignation meetings, for the purpose of expressing their sentiments on each individual outrage of the kind. That is a scheme of professional agitators, whose svmpatby on tucn occasions go no lather than a particular political object. Demiciats have always coo tended for free dom qf speech and opinion and the uuiversaji right of suffrage. They have opposed; in accordance with this principle the political organization Known as "Anow Nothings," who by secret oaths, have sworn to 'pretermit and put down' such sentiments. These same Know Nothings are now the avowed champions of free speech, and are the first to Bpeak and spout at these Sum neb indignation meetings. Where was their in dignation jwhen Douglas and others were hung and burned in emgy, lor words spoken in debate. Where was their sympathy for free speech when the senator from III. was hooted down by a mob in the streets of Chicago? When were their shrieks for freedom of opinion when the Germans and lush of Cincinnati and Louisville were slaughtered by K. N. bandits for desirins to vote as they politi cally believed 7 There was no such free soil sgony4iua over said murderous doings and political desecration of these, sacred rights I Why 9 Because it was Democruta who were hunjr in effigy. It was a Democrat who was howled down by Black Republicans in Chi cago, and that too in a Democratic meeting. Ihey were Democrats who were murdered 111 the streets ol Louisvilles nd Cincinnati. Now the Democratic party knows no difference in tune, nor place nor persons in the applies tion of these long established principles of its creed. It condemned Know Nothingismfrom the start, and in all its guises whether under that of Americanism, Black Republicanism, or Fusionism. It equally condemns ruffianism everywhere, whether on the boundary of Mo.. in the territory of Kansas, or in tho Beecher .u t f u..t 1 1. principle or policy ol the Democratic patty, waked up for a particular purpose. It has ever formed the embodiment of the Democrat ic creed, and will over distinguinh its politi cal policy. Not so with our fusion opponents who are iustnow making a srest ado because one of their champions has tasted the bitter iruits ot their own example and teaching. Fresh from their lodges and midnight orgies where oaths hare been administered, bind ing them to proscription for opinion's sake, and to vote as a majority in secret conclave snail dictate; they are not the ones to lead the public mind in a crisis like this. The position of the Demociacr is known, and they will take their own tiine.dnd choose their own way to express their dissent of Ruffian ism in Kansas or Ruffianism in Congress. sit n 1 . 1 ... 7 . w L.ICDC. t -tuwucutcr, Speech of Mr. Buchanan.

A ridge of higher land near the house shuts out all view of Lancas ter and tbe busy outer world, and renders the place.one of those charming rural spots about which poets dream.
