The numerical strength of if. New Hampshire in the Convention was () .five-votes^ that of Pennsylvania was twen-! jj ty-h6veri -votes. Tlie ".surroundings" of j ^ New illanjpshjrc were Main?, Vermont and , j, Massachusetts, all, including New IIamp-!,, ihiitj, itaavinaj a vote of twenty-six ; the t. ^.'surroundings" of Pennsylvania were New j | Yorlc, Ohio, Virginia ami Maryland, having j t] lOgethor'a vote of one hundred and cii/ht. j t, Agotn,*New Hampshire was urging the re-! j -cleotion of herson, and in that encountcre?L ? ^ll tho opposition of the "one-term" idea, ^ nVhich not many year$ back almost became (1 -aljiaft of the Democratic creed?many.be- a lioving that the policy of rc-elccting was ? cdledlrtted to make Presidents more solicit- i ous.tGaJfecure a second term than to admin- c iatdr tlie first term faithfully.

Mr. Duchanan,' moreover, may almost he considered as the first choico of llic Democracy, not only of V ?i jinia, Lou lsiana, lennessee and iMarylaml, but also of North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, making seven out of the fourteen slave States. For tlio three States last named in the Convention of 1852, which nominated Mr. 1'ierce/ declared Mr. Ihichanau to be their first , choice, and one or more of them voted for him to tlic 2Gth ballot.?Where is the evidence of his being less sound now than then? Kven those who have assailed democracy at all limes, and who now object most strenuously lo Mr. ]>uchannn, have to go far back into .lie past, atul exhume musty records (o find iny thing like semblance of unsoundness mi the slavery question. In the nominaion of Mr. Buchanan over 1 'resident- 1'icrce here is certainly some frneourngenicnt given o a portion of the Democratic, party, in ihnl it shows we need not dread so much, is some of us have heretofore dreaded, the ihsorbing and centralizing inthience of the Executive power wielded through ils palonng<\ In this respect the noininatiou of dr. lhiehanau speaks volumes in behalf of he permanency of the JJepublieon its conederate and Stale rights basis. As between Mr. lhichanan and .Mr.Dongas there existed all the adventitious eircumi.,? .... i i. 1-- <1 - ??ihi i\j 11<_*?111\ iiic ^iinc ucjjrcc, as etwecn Mr. Jhiehanan ami I'resident 'iorco. In addition, it ua-< urged by (lie: rietuls of Mr. Ihtehanau (and with sonic rutli, it must bo confessed) thai Mr. Dongas was young enough lo wait milil another :leetion ; wliilc some of Mr. Dongla.V vannest admirers thought that lour years vonld give an increased experience that, v oil Id not be without its advantages even o one so distinguished as Senator Douglas or his '"giant intellect."' Again: had Mr. )ougla.* received the nomination, the party, lie Mimii, ilie country, would have lost tlie ubors of hi> brilliant talents in tlie vimlu-ainiiof the principles cif i!??? party. Ami, tier all there are many ni'-n m?>r?? parti<-n uras to names tlian things?men than priniples?and who when otiee convinced, are Miileetly willing to march under a new tanner, provided it b<-i?>t borne bv the one! mder whose lender.-hip thev have beenI jrced to surrender. There are no doubt; liotssatids of Northern people who, from (be ! Iiorongh discussion of constitutional prin-l iples by Senator Douglas and others, in lie Senate and elsewhere, would willingly (vc i" their adhesion to those principles, roviacd Ibey be not required to surrender i one against whom they were so recently mbittcred. Th.'^ci who expect lo find in ; ealily the fabled Utopia may sneer at such ! consideration as ft sacrifice of principle to J availability" but let it be railed what it; nav. the fact eannot.be. r<.:if inverted. Those I rho would govern human nature must look ' o tlm characteristics of tli.it nature, and, as : ir ris possible, control them to tlie purposes ! f good. It ought to be remembered, too, J liat the union of I'resident Pierce's ;uid ' ir. Jpouglas' friends upon Mr. Uuchaunu, I nstead of endeavoring to start some "new j nan," was bringing back tlie parly to its! arlicr usages, when the honors of lite coun- . ry were awarded to those who had earned < Itoin by long and laborious services. I low-. . ver much wo may admire the adminislrn-j ions of President 1'oik and I'ierec, it can-!' ot be denied that the taking up "new men" i i) order to unite the pfl.'ty, thereby distrib- , iting LliC highest honors of tlio country by . plan savoring more of chance than merit, < lot only contributed to lessen the respectability of our Government in the eyes of forign powers, but was calculated to exercise i most deleterious influence upon our pubic servants, and might have proved a source >f national decline. l>ut all doubt as to the soundness of the )emocrattc party and their nominee vansites the moment we turn to the proceed-! tigs of the Convention. There we find esolution*, unanimously adopted, enclorsng the administration of President Pierce, md pledging the Democratic party to the naintainaucc of the rights of the South, vhich latter resolutions have been formidlv I ind unqualifiedly endorsed by Mr. Buchauui. And iir relation to the unanimity with vhitjji these resolutions were adopted, it is nit,right I should say, that though I wont hercj-convinced, in thoimuin, of tfiegoundicss of- tlio party, in reference to our pecuiat institutions, I was nevertheless ngreea?ly surprised to find that anting the delegates, frt>ni nll^quarters of the.^Ntfrth, one >f the prominent ideas was .that Jilock Hemblicanityi*b*u*t be ]>ut dowfi, mid poace Tiveh to the cotintry, 1^ the protection and anforceineut oflHTio Constitutional rights of overy section. 1 took particular pains to ^sceriain uie jntorinal opinions of tlitt Northern Democracy.^ I went, from a Msnsc of dnty, every night during the silting of the Convention, to tho m:iss meetings of LhelSemocracy of Cincinnati. 1 wanted to see wJiat kind of speeches were matte l>cfore t? "rank and file" of the Northern Deiuocracy. I \tantcd to see whether Pcmocratic leaders spoke the sentiment of Bemodratic masses. At.theso meetings T heard speakers of Connectivity Now York, Penhsylr'n ni:i, Delaware, Indiana and California denounce Freesoilism an?l Abolitionism in as ^ fierce and unmeasured terms as L ever heard in South Carolina. There, too, I heard 1 speakers of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, (.ieorgia and Missouri, draw forth thunders -j of deafening applause as they painted the wrong which Kreesoilism seeks to inflict on the South, and tho determination of the Southern people to stand fast by their rights to their slave property. No man. in inv .\ - ' J opinion, could liavc attended those meetings, whatever might have been his opposition to I Democracy, without being convinced that whatever Democracy might be, it is Ihe ( same in Pennsylvania as in Virginia, in Indiana as in Ceorgin, and in Connecticut as in Missouri. 1 may say also, that being necessarily thrown much in (he way of Democrats of the North, in railroad cars, A in reading rooms and in hotels, and under circumstances to be obliged to hear much I of their conversation among themselves, I testify with pleasure, to the invariable na- ?j tionality that characterized their conversation and the uncompromising hostility they ^ evinced towards ]>laek Republicanism in all its phases. I do not hesitate, to say that wherever the Democratic Mag shall be nil- S furled in the coining canvass, whether in Maine or Texas, in Virginia or Oregon, j there will be found those who would give security to our rights, and in the language of Mr. liuchanan. "alhiv , J ??V '1.1.1^1 VMI.1 vauiu:* ment wliicli lias for some years prevailed on the subject of domestic slavery, and again unite all sections of our common country in llieancient bonds of hrotheily affection i under llie (lag of (lie Constitution and the rnion." \\ 1 Jut 1 need not il well longeron this point: llio relation, in virtue of which I address j you, is proof that you are acquainted with the condition of things?that you appreei- ^ ate the magnitude of the interests at stake ? that you sympathize with those who are fighting your battles and that you will cheer W them in the hour of their trial by the evidence of your interest and sympathy. 1 I! have good reason for saying that the ap-j pcaranccof a delegation from South Carolina in the National Convention was hailed with |F pleasure by both Norlln-rn and Southern | I )eniiicrats.

A Great Country for a Lazy Man. r Dr. McHean, in his lecture on Nicaragua, r on Monday night, drew :i picture of what - could ho done in that country by a man > who was not disposed to waste time in la. bur, and yet wished to live independent. The government gave liini 280 acres of land, i and tlio first necessity was for a house, i This want was quickly supplied by ttie placing of four posts uprightly in theground, the spaces between which were filled with the coiiiiiioti;cane which grew in abundance arouml, ami then plastering with mud. The roof was then I hatched with grass, and the t house was thus completed. Little or no , furniture was needed, a hammock answer* i ing all purposes of a bed and seat, and almost , any kind of earthen vessel would answer , to cook in. The next euro was to plant about a dozen banana or plantain trees, which needed no future care ; planted with yarns, which, if , properly placed, would yield enormously. The common frijolc and Lima beans would grow with the yams, as well as other veg i-muiva, anu iih; native u nits ol the country were almost indigenous. The plantains and yams would yield more than enough for tin: subsistence of an entire family, and game of every variety could be shot almost from the door of the house. The climate was such as to render little or no clothing absolutely necessary, and thus, with one moiiIll's labor,a man can fix'himself comfortably for a year. Isn't that the country for a lazy man??j\. 0. Picayune. some JNose. The following incident we had from a friend who knows the parties:?Deacon Oomstock, of Hartford, Connecticut, is well known as being provided with an enormous handle to his countenance, in the shape of .1 huge nose, in fact it is remarkable for its great length. On a late occasion, when taking up a collection in the church to which the deacon belongs, as lie passed through the congregation every person to whom he presented the bag seemed to bo possessed with an uncontrollable desire to l 1 ri'l i ' * i.-mgii. j nc cieauon aid not know wliat to make of iJ. lie had often passed round before, but no such effects as lliose bad bo ever witnessed.

He bad been a libeled for a day or two with a slight solo on bis nasal appendage, and bad placed a small piece of stiekjng plaster on it. During tbe day referred to, tbe plaster bad dropped oil", and tbo dcacon seeinir it. as he sunnosed. 011 the. floor, nii-ltp/l it up :iinl stuck it on again. But alas ho picked up instead, one of those little pieces of paper which are pasted on tins etui of every spool of cotton, and wliich reads as follows: "Warranted to hold out 200 yards.*' Such a sign ou such a nose, wa? enough to upset the gravity of even a puritan congregation, and we think the laughing justifiable. Print it in Ijettors of Gold. A father whose son was addicted to some vicious propensities, bade the boy to drive a nail itilo a certain post whenever lie committed a fault, and agreed that a a nail should be drawn out whenever he I i.i - - | turrtwn an error. in ilie course Ot timo tli? post was completely tilled with-nails. The youth been inn alarmed at the extent of his indiscriminations and set about f6* forming himself. One by one tho nails are drawn out, the delighted father commended bin: for his ?noblc, self-denying heroism, in freeing himself from his faults. "Tin y are all drawn out," sud the parent.
