Buchanan had been a candidate for the Democratic nomination a couple of times before he was finally nominated in 1856. His opponents in that year were John Fremont of the new Republican Party (which had been formed in 1854) and former President Millard Fillmore, who was the candidate of the American (Know Nothing) Party and also of the rump Whig organization which remained after the party broke up following the 1852 election. Because of the breakup of the Whigs (primarily over slavery), the Republicans were already the #2 party even though they were only 2 years old. The situation made Buchanan's election pretty easy, though.
