We suppose no one of our readers will be surprised to see at the head of our columns,, the name of that well tried and faithful statesman, Jam is Buchanan of Pennsylvania, as the unanimous choice of the Cincinnati Convention. " We were not alone in Indiana, a few weeks ago, in looking to him as the best chance to set tie the conflicting claims of aspirants, in the present emergency. ' Jons C. Bbecksshidge of Kentucky, - the nominee for Vice President, is not so far to the south as to deprive him of that aoecies of conservatism necessary to a 0 vigilant defense of the Constitution and the preservation of the Union as it is. With Buchana and Breckenridge as our National standard bearers, we couple the State Ticket nominated by the Democratic Convention in January last, and expect to do honest and fearless battle in the cause from this time until the November election. We hope to treat those who cannot conscientiously be with us in the canvas, with becoming courtesy, nd thus receive from them a respectful heaiing. Public Speaking. Wm. B, Beach Esq., the Democratic nominee for Clerk of the Supreme Court, will address his fellow-citizens at the Court House in Plymouth, on Thursday next, the 19;h inst.

We learn that Major Mace has thrown another political summerset. nd now boldly declares himself in favor of Mr. Buchanan for President; and emphatically says that any other party than the Democratic partj will ruin the country! and ought not, nor will not 'succeed in the coming campaign.

Mexico. The decree of President Al-vere-i of last November, abolishing the privileges of the Church and military, has been ratified almost unanimously by the

I Congress of Mexico. It takes away all icivil jurisilicli ecclesiastical ! courts, leaving only to the clergy cogniznce of criminal cases against priests or other religionists. Land Werrants. The principal dealers in the streets, at New York, are decli ning to buy land warrants, but there are a few transactions at 99 cents per acre, a decline of 10 to 12 cents within a day or two. Monstrous Ship. A Mr. Scott Russell, is now -engaged in building a ship in England to be called the 4,Great Eastern," which will eclipse oil other.ships. It is nearly seven hundred feet, (or an eighth of a mile) in length, so that four turns up and down her deck, will a fiord her passengers a walk of a mile. This great length is intended to prevent motion, as she will be able to ride three of the largest waves at V once. She has screws, paddles and sails the latter to be used only when there is a strong wind in the direction of her course. She has seven masts. Signals will be necessarily used instead of speaking trumpets; she will carry 12,000 tons; has accommodations for 4,000 passengers, will be lighted by gn?, with an electric light at the masthead; and when 6he goes down as doubtless she will, will destroy more, lives than any ark, raft, ship or other floating craft from Noah's Ark down to the Two Pollics. Abolition or Sebtdom in Russia. In his, recent speech to the nobility of Moscow, the Czar "alluded to the report which had been spent of his intending to emancipate the serfs, and said that that was a change, which could by no means be affected in a hurry. The present state of thing, however, was one that could not last. It would therefore be very agreeable to him 'if the nobility itself would take into mature deliberation in what way a change could be gradually prepared for; and any propositions they might make on the subject would always be welcome to him. From the State Sentinel. . CINCINNATI. CONVENTION! BUCHANAN'S NOMINATION MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY. gov. weight's speech. About four o'clock, P. M-. yesterday. lelegraphic dispatches were received from Cincinnati, announcing the nomination of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, for President, and J. C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, for Vice President. The announcement was received by the Democracy of Indianapolis with a glow of en thusiasm that 6poke unmistakably the gratification felt at the rtsult of the deli berations of the Convention. Immediately after the reception of the news, a salute of thirty-one guns were fired in the rear of the State House. On motion of Col. Charles W. Hall, salutes were then fired in honor of the nominees respectively, and another as an earnest ot that hope with which all were inspired for the success of tho ticket. The motion of Col, Holl was received with cheers that made ''the welkin ring.' In the evening 'at the souud of the drum and fife, there was a grand rally in front ol tha Wright House. The vast multitude there assembled was addressed by Gov. Wright, whose appearance upon the stand was greeted with prolonged and deafening cheers. The speech of Gov. Wright was one of those eloquent, off-hand efforts for which ho is so justly celebrated on occasions like the one of last evening. We give below the substance ot his remarks, and in doing so, do not feel that any apology is necessary. Gov. Wright said: They have given us the distinguished son of Pennsylvania, James Buchanan. He comes from the right quarter the old Keystone State, themost precious stone in our proud edifice the land of Frank lin, Morris, Mulenburg, and Buchanan my own. my native "State the first State in our Union that adopted and ratified our I glorious Constitution, and the only State , of the North that in the great contest or 1796 which cast her vote for Thomas Jef ferson against the elder Aaam3 and, in my humble judgment, this day has less fanaticism and sectionalism among her masses than any of the original thirteen colonies the first State in the Union that nominated General Jackson for the Presidency. Pennsylvania has never had a President, yet she has constantly sup ported the men of right faith and principles, having voted uniformly for Washington, Jefferson, Madison. Monroe, and Jackson, casting her united vote for the election and re election of these patriarchs and founders of the Republic. James Buchanan is the man for the times. Tbe people desired his " nomina tion. not the. politicians, and most noblv has the National- Convention responded to the voice of the ptople. No man now living has rendered more important ser vices to -the country. No man living has filled so many responsible positions in our Government with such ability and usefulness to the country. From the year 1814, the commencement of his pub He lifeuntil this day,' he has been tha faithful and indefatigable public servant. . James Buchanan was an acknowledged favorite of James Madison at the close of his Administration. In 1823 James Monroe tendered him the 1 mission to to "Mexico. As -Minister Jto Russia, under the appointment of Genera)' Jackson, he negotiated the first commercial treaty between our Government and Russia, which secured to cur commerce' the ports of the Baltic and Black seas.

James Buchanan was the bosom friend and companion of General Jackson, his ardent admirer. He has had the confidence not only of Jackson, Tulk, and Pierce, but of all the "statesmen of the land who have' formed his acquaintance. The best evidence of his devotion to the welfare of the country is found in the fact, (for the masses alwdys act right.) he never, never, never, (you Fusionists remember this,) has been defeated by the. people or Legislature from hia first trial in 1814 until the present moment. .The word defeat is not in Buchananls vocabu-

lary or that of his friends, and, assure as! he lives until the 4th of March, IS57. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, will i be the President of this Nation. We now say to our political enemies comea"n with your charges, your slanders, your insinuations! The Nation has presented to them, the consistent, firm faithful Statesman, the man of iron witl, undaunted patriotism, unblemished (character, nnd whose record will boar the strictest scrutiny. We have before us the man whose whole character is a solemn pledge, and guarantee, that our institutions and national character will be safe in his hands. The farmer, mechanic, merchant, and the entire mass of our people feel secure that in his hands the noble ship of State will be taken to the port of peace, happiness and prosperity, nnd that under his even guidance and enlarged statesmanship, every portion of our happy Union will be protected in the full enjoyment of their constitutional rights. lie is a States Rights man in the full meaning of that term. I remember twen ty years ago, when the subject of the admission of Michigan wa3 before the nation, how in eloquent terms he enforced the doctrine of the rights of the States and Territories. It was then he remarked in substance, 'the older I grow, the more I become n Stales Rights man,' Consequently he was the enemy of tho U. S. Bank, opposed to the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of public lands, op posed to the assumption of the state debts, the warm advocate of the independent treasury, the ardent and devoted friend of the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska bills, the absolute and unconditional right of the people to adofU their own form of municipal government, not inconsistent with the constitution of the United States. In 1S52, whzn speaking upon the sub ject of religious liberty, he planted himself upon the constitution in the following glowing language: 'From my soul, I abhor the practice of mingling up religion with politics; the doctrine of all our constitutions, both federal and State is, that every man hns an indefeasible right to worship his God according to the dictates of his own conscience. He is both a bigot and a tyrant who would interfere with that sacred right. When a candidate is before the.people for office, the inquiry ought never be made, what form of religious faith he professes, but only in the language of Mr. Jefferson, 'Is he honest, is he capable?' In the same address, when speaking upon the Fugutive Slave Law, and the Democratic party, he most eloquently and truthful! v remarks; The Fugitive Slave Law is all the South has obtained in lhi3 Compromise of 1S50. It is a law founded both upon the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and a simitar law, has existed in our Statute Bjoks ever since the Administration of George Washington. History teaches us that but for the provision in favor of the Fugitive Slaves, the constitution would never have existed. Think ve that the Sjulh will ever tamely surrender the Fugitive Slave Law to Northern Fanatics and Abolisionists? And now fellow citizens what a glorious party tho Democratic party has ever been! Man is but the be in of a summer day while principles aro eternal. The gene ration of mortals, one after the other, rise and sink, and are forgotten, but the principles of Democracy which we have inherited from our Revolutionary fathers will endure to bless mankind, throughout all generations. Is there any Democrat within the sound of ray voice Is there any Democrat throughout the broad limits of good, old Democratic Pennsylvania, who will abandon these sacred principles, for the sake of following in the train of a military conqueror, nnd shout ing for the Hero of Lundy's Lane, Cerro Gordo and Chapultepec? Like the Romans in their times of trouble and excitement, our people are looking to the old nnd true men. We have in the person ot James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, he who was contemporary with Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun, Webster. McDuffee, Havne. and others. He is the link on the chain that connects the present with the past. That age when the love of the Union, the love of order and the supremacy of the laws was the paramount principle. Buchanan is the man that the good and true men can rally around, of all parties devoted to the Constitution and the Union with the full assurance that he perfectly understands and fully appreciates not only our democratic policy but our foreign relations. . In the midst of sectional excitement, local strifes, violations of law, secret political orgagizations; and when appeals are making to the worst passions of men, to everything except the majesty of the laws and Constitution, it is a source of gratification to the true. Patriot,, to have one presented for the first office in the Union, whose whole life is one of devotion to law and order. But few administrations will show brighter on the page df history, than that of James K. Pölk. The acquisition and settlement of difficulties connected with Texas, the acquirement of California with its untold wealth the war with Mexico. .Yet in all these James Buchanan was our Prime Minister (Secretary of State,) exhibiting in all these trying times, the same devotion to principles, firmness of purpose, and yet so conducting our Toreign relatione, that while an Empire was added to our Repub lic the peace of the riatiori'was not disHe is now before us'for the highest po sition among the nations of the earth, presented not by"a section,' not the candidate of the Souththe Nofth, the East or the West, but the candidate of every

portion, interest or section of our wide spread Republic. "His past life, his public acts exhibit to us the profound statesman, the accomplished scholar, the man of spotless purity of character, who has -never taken a position with Southern or Northern destiny, but ono who loves every portion of this country who plants himself on the basis of the Constitution, and takrs his ! stand under the prouder and holier name j American ucsliny. Tho character of tho sons of all Penn sylvania is so well known throughout iho country, whenever it is ascertained that a man U from the old Key Stoue State, right straight forward he goes into office. from Lrovernor, to the smallest, up to Town Supervisor, the highest. Talk about a son of Pennsylvenia being run close in Indiana, or the race doubtful. Why, the man that would thus talk, is surely crazy. Your first Governor was a Pennsyl vanian, aud the last two one a Pennsylvania, with two or three others, and Heaven knows how mauy Judgc6 and other officers. Congi-esslona I. AVashixgtox, June 2, 1355. Senate. Mr. Bright being absent, Mr. Stuart took the Chair, nnd laid before the Senate a message from the President in relation to affairs in Central Aamerica, which has already been published. A resolution was adopted that when the Senate adjourned on Thursday, it adjourn to meet on Monday. . Tho presiding officer laid before the Senate a letter from Hon. Preston, S. Brooks, addressed to Mr. Bright, in which he disclaims any intention of offending against the privilages of the Senate by his assult upon Mr. Sumner, but said he felt bound to chastise him for insult to his State and to his relatives, and having sought him in vain flsewhero, ho deemed'it proper to inflict that punishment here. The Senate not being in session, he did not think he was committing any breach of privileges. The letter was read, laidou the table and order-. ed to be printed, and the Senate then adjourned till Thursday. II-use. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from the Select Committee appointed to inves tigate the circumstances attending the assult upon Sumner, made a report, concluding as follows: Whereas, the Senate of the United Slates has transmitted to this house a message, complaining that Preston S. Brooks, representative from the State of South Carolina, committed upon the person of Chas. Sumner, a Senator' from the State of Massachusetts, while seated at his desk in the Senate Chamber, after the adjournment of that body on the 22J of May last, n violent assault, which disabled him from attending to his duties in the Senate, and declaring that said assult was a breach of the privileges of frTat body; and whereas, from respect of the privileges of the House, the Senate have further declared that inasmuch as said Preston S. Brooks is a member of this Hjusc, they cannot arrest, and a portion cannot try or punish him for breach of their privileges; that they cannot proceed further in the matter than to make their complaint to this House, and that the. power to arrest, try and punish devolves wholly on this body;and whereas, upon a full investigation it appears that said Preston S. llrooks has beenguiliy of the assult complained of by the Senate, with the most aggravated circumstances of violence; that the same was because of the privileges not only of the Senate but of the Senator assailed, and of this House, as a co-ordinate branch of the legislative department of the government, in direct vi olation of the Constitution of tho United States, which declares that Senator and Representatives, for any speech or debate in their House, shall not be questioned in another place; and whereas, this House is of opinion that it has tho pow-. er, end ought to punish said Ferston S. Brooks for 6aid assult--not only a breach of the privileges of the Senator assailed. and of tk Senate and House, as declared by the Constitution, but as an act of disorderly behavior; and whereas, it further appears from such investigation that Homy A- Edmunson, Representative from the State of Virginia, and Lawrance M. Keitt, Representative from South Carolina, Borne time previous to said assault, were informed that it was the'purP0i,e f said Brooks to commit violence rjpon tho person of said Sumner, for words said by him in debate, as a Senator, in the Senate, and took no measures to prevent or discourage the same, but on the contrary, anticipating the commission of such violence, were present on one or more occasions to witness tho same, as friend of the assailant; thorefore. " Resolved, That Preston S. Brooks be expelled from the House, as a Represen tative from the State of South Carolina, and the House hereby declare its disap probation of said act of Henry A. Edmunson and Lawrence M.' Keitt, in re gard to 6aid assault. Signed by Crtmbbell of Ohio, Skinner and Pennington. Howell Cobb-submitted a minority . report, arguing' that no breach of privilege under the Constitution had been committed, that the House had no power to go beyond the Constitution, concluding that L a breach of privilege had been commit led. t , ' ' y Both reports were laid on the table and ordered to be printed.

Large and Daring Robbery Heavy Reward Cffercd for the Villain. We heard yesterday of one of the boldi est. mo6t cunningly devised and planned, and most successfully executed robberies that was ever perpetrated in this city. Capt. J. C Wingird of New Orleans, a few clays since arrived here for the pur

pose of contracting for the building t( a steamboat, and put up at the Gilt llouso After inquiring among the.builJers here and at New Albany, and visiting Cinnnnati, he found prices higher than he anticipated, and declining to contract at present, determined to make a short visit to Lexington and Ashland' preparatory to returning home on the steamer II. D. Newcomb. With this intention, he converted his dralts into money at the Bank ing House of Messrs. A. D. Hunt & C., aud arranged to start on yesterday morning's train for Lexington. .Between 4 and 5 o'clock, A. M., a servant was sent to his room to awaken him to be reidy for the cars, but not receiving any res ponse, opened the door, which was unlocked, and entered. Failing to arouse him, the servant became alarmed, and Dr. John W, Matthews being called 'in, immediately, discovered the true condition of affairs. The room had been entered through the transom window and rloroform administered to Capt. Wingjid, and, while he was insensible, his trunk was broken open and eximined, and a gold pen and pencil taken from it, and 81,600 in money, placed around his waist in a handkerchief, stolen. A vial which had contained clorjform was found on the floor; and, after Capt. W. had been stupefied with its fumes a handkerchief saturated with it was thrown over his face. From tho quantity inhaleu C-ipt. Wingard was for somo time in a critical condition, and had he remained ondiscov-', ered 'much longer, resuscitation would j Inve been impossible. As it was, Dr. ! Matthews was compelled, to resort to the most vigorous measures to save his pa-1 tient8 life. The robbery was effected between midnight and 4 o'clock, A. M. A pocket book containing money for his traveling expenses, his gold watch end a gold locket, which were placed by Capt. W. be tween the mattrasses, were not discovered. The money stolen consisted of nine 8500 notes, and one 8100 note in all 64 C00 all on New Obleaxs Banks! Thii may lead to the detection of the villain, and merchants, brokers, and police officers in all sections of the Union are requested to scrutinize carefully all notes of this dei.ominalion offered thorn.

It will be seen by the advertisement in , another column that Captain Wingard offers the handsome sum of 81.000 for the recovety of the money. It should Le sufficient to stimulate the police to the most active exertions. When we saw Capt. Wingard Inst evening, he was still suffering considerably from the effects of the cloroform and from excitement. Louisville Courier. TIic Trot Lies in Kansas. St. Louis May 27. From an extra issued by the Kansas City Enterprise, on the 23.1, and received here last evening, we learn that Sheriff Jones took about twenty men into Lawrence, aud at his demand, Pomeroy surrendered all cannon and rifles he could get, which were sacked in tho streets. Jones requested Eldridge to more his fur- j nilure from his hotel. He declined, and the posse entered, and carried most of it into tho.street. Jones gave express orders no private property should be injured, and particularly Robinson's house should not be touched. After a portion of the posse was gone, however, the house was burned. During tht excitement, ono man was shot, nnd another accidentally killed by falling brick from the hotel walls. Jones gave Pomeroy receipts for alt rifles and cannon surrendered by him.

An interesting insurance case, in which an Insurance Company was defendant, has just been decided by Judge Storer. of Cincinnati. The points are stated thus. The point decided was that a party must have an interest in the subject insured at the time the policy is issued, and at the time of the loss; and if one of the several owners of a boat thus insured, assigns his interest to the . other before the loss, the remaining' owners cannot recover.bis portion of the loss unless the policy is assigned to them and approvod Dy tnejinsurance company. . .

The Future of Central America. Sinco tho failure of the Costa Ricans to expel the Americans from Nicaragua, the I enemies of Gen. Walker's enterprise are! trying to convince themselves and others, j thit the poverty of tho country in resour- j ces ana me unneaiuuuess oi me ciimaie aro inseparable obstacles to successful American Colonization in that quarter. If the facts were as thev rpprcsent th?m 1 to be, then their conclusions would be I right, but it is not that Nicaragua, or any of the States of Central America, is so poor in resources thit it cannot sup I port and give profitable employment to aj them latitudes. On the contrary, Central America is rich in undeveloped resources, requiring , but a little ca pilal and American energy' and enterprise to mako them yield largp hirvests of gnin. Parts of the country. just like par t3 of our own country, are unhealthy to the unsclimated. but there are extensive and feriilo tracts in the moun tanous regions lying near the Pacific coast which are exceedingly salubrious, and where emegrants from Northern latitudes may eisjoy general good health. The English have found no difficulty in colonizing parts'of Central America, and surely, where natives of England can inhabit and control the native population, Americans nny hopo to succeed in as serting a political and social supremacy. Climate, where the soil is fertile, and I commercial advantages are offered, has never yet proved an invincible foe to the enterprise of the white man. It is only i where sterrility and insalubrity are com bined, that the white man, not finding the temptations necessary to induce him to accept risk?, has abandoned the field. But whereever there are fruithful soils, rich mines, arm inviting mans lor commerce, lhere lhe uhlle mn w,n ossen ,lis em Prft his sovereignty, so to speak over lhe ootids wealth. There are iu C-nlral America no insuperable obstacles U.

An immense trnde will be the res-ill of j "uc " 'u 1 " 'i' a'1 the establishment of staple institutions';,,"1 lhej nnd the introduction of a progressive eau.lbane and

civilization in the Central American States. Across the Isthminn routes a rich commerce will pass, and flourishing cities will spring up where are no.v but a few temporary huts. New Orleans is on example of what the energies of man an i the necessities of trade will do, and there are few places on either coast of Central America naturally less salubrious than the delta of the Mississippi.
