General Scott threatens to resign, if President Buchanan recalls Major Anderson, and will offer his services to his country.--Idem.
Dec. 31.--Philadelphia.--There is a report in circulation that Wheatland, the residence of Mr. Buchanan, has been burned.
35. a New song of Sixpence. sing a song of Sumter, A Fort in Charleston bay; Eight-and-sixty brave men Watch there night and day. Those brave men to succor, Still no aid is sent; Isn't James Buchanan A pretty President! James is in his Cabinet Doubting and debating; Anderson's in Sumter, Very tired of waiting. Pickens is in Charleston, Blustering of blows; Thank goodness March the Fourth is near, To nip Secession's nose. --Vanity Fair.
but if they are of one flesh with them, they are the lankest nation of bipeds ever known to natural history. Save the Union, and make kindling wood of all your partisan platforms. The Nashville Union, having despaired of being able to sustain secession in Tennessee by any other means, has taken itself to prayer. Has it made a sufficient trial of cursing? The Memphis Appeal says, that the four years of Mr. Lincoln's administration will be the reign of steel. The four years of Mr. Buchanan's have been the reign of stealing. We don't think that South Carolina has any warrant for her conduct, but she evidently has a good deal of war-rant. A new national flag proposed for the Southern Confederacy bears in its centre the figure of a Phoenix in the act of rising from a bed of flame and ashes, with the motto, We rise again. The Phoenix and the flame is thought to be beautifully typical of the death of the old and the resurrection of the new Union. We don't like the Phoen
nearly all the favorites of Mr. Buchanan are engaged in the secession conspiracy. The monstrous transaction of Twiggs, in Texas, which bears the double character of unmitigated treason and individual dishonesty, has been long in process, and the celebrated Ben McCullough, one of Mr. Buchanan's most intimate friends, has been engaged in it. His household editor, William M. Browne, is at Montgomery, assisting disunion with all his ability, while his late Secretary of the Treasury, his late Secrnd the celebrated Ben McCullough, one of Mr. Buchanan's most intimate friends, has been engaged in it. His household editor, William M. Browne, is at Montgomery, assisting disunion with all his ability, while his late Secretary of the Treasury, his late Secretary of War, his late Secretary of the Interior, and most of those who advocated his policy in Congress, either hold position under the Southern Confederacy, or occupy prominent places in the organization which sustains it. --Phila. Press.
m universally known, is from a feminine pen. The tart and somewhat malicious allusions to Rye refer, we suppose, to President Buchanan's letter to some Western friends, acknowledging, with thanks, the receipt of some excellent rye whiskey: James B-Uof his bed, Making his t'other eye to squint with dread-- Old Jackson, writing in a book of gold. Exceeding Rye had made Buchanan bold, And to the stern Ex-President he said: “Wha — what writ'st thou?” The spirit shook his head, The while he answerehe names of those who ne'er their country sold!” And is mine one? asked J. B. “Vary!” cried The General, with a frown. Buchanan sighed, And groaned, and turned himself upon his bed, And took another “nip” of “rye,” then said: “Well, ere thou lay to long my spirits were, That when the Crisis came — I wasn't there!” The General wrote, and vanished; the next night He came again, in more appalling plight, And showed those names that all true men detest, And lo! Buchanan
Mr. Lincoln keeps his own counsels so carefully, that Virginia sent a Committee to him to ask him to speak. Mr. Buchanan always blabbed so much, that the whole country felt disposed to send a Committee to him, to ask him to keep his mouth shut. Married, on Saturday last, Mr. McCraw, In the 81st year of his age, to Miss Patty Haverston, aged 71; both of the poor-house.--Toledo Blade. We are afraid, that, if the Southern Confederacy and the Northern Confederacy, after separating and living apart several years, and exhausting all their substance in war, shall conclude to be reunited, their marriage, like that of the old couple at Toledo, will have to be in the poor-house.--Louisville Journal.
The following despatch was sent, a few days ago, to James Buchanan, late President of the United States: Resolved, By a few of the women of New York that we have read with feelings of great indignation the despatch sent to Mr. Lincoln by James Buchanan, late President of the United States, saying that he will sustain the AdJames Buchanan, late President of the United States, saying that he will sustain the Administration; and are determined, though abhorring this type of Southern civilization, unless said James Buchanan keeps quiet and silent, henceforth in his cupboard at Wheatland, to provide the necessary weight of feathers and other accompaniments for the single ladies of Wheatland, who, we hear, have threatened to make a coat forJames Buchanan keeps quiet and silent, henceforth in his cupboard at Wheatland, to provide the necessary weight of feathers and other accompaniments for the single ladies of Wheatland, who, we hear, have threatened to make a coat for the man who has, by his imbecility, involved us in one of the most dreadful wars the world has ever seen — the man who now offers to sustain, yet sustained nothing but the designs of the rebels when he could have sustained the majesty of Law — who said, that if States wished to secede, no one could prevent it, while knowing that
We find this remarkable paragraph in the editorial columns of the Rochester Union:--This great and long-standing conspiracy was well known in its outlines to Mr. Buchanan himself. We heard from his own lips, previous to his entering upon the duties of the Presidency, that he had been reliably informed (we think he said by Gov. Wise) that the officers of the army and navy had been polled on the question whether, in case of a rupture between the two sections of the Union, they would respectind that nearly every Southern man answered he would adhere to the section that gave him birth. Here we have proof not only that this conspiracy had assumed its present determinate shape five years ago, and only waited for opportunity; but that Mr. Buchanan was perfectly well aware of the fact at the very time when he took some of the leaders into his Cabinet; and when he was passively aiding Cobb, Floyd, Thompson, and Toucey, in their plans to cripple the Federal Government, and assure the succe
Gen. Twiggs and President Buchanan.--Gen. Twiggs, late of the United States Army, has addressed a letter to Ex-President Buchanan, in which he says:--Your usurped right to dismiss me from the army might be acquiesced in; but you had no right to brand me as a traitor. This was personal, and I shall treat it as such--not through the papers, but in person. I shall, most assuredly, pay a visit to Lancaster for the sole purpose of a personal interview with you. So, sir, prepare yourself. I am wo Ex-President Buchanan, in which he says:--Your usurped right to dismiss me from the army might be acquiesced in; but you had no right to brand me as a traitor. This was personal, and I shall treat it as such--not through the papers, but in person. I shall, most assuredly, pay a visit to Lancaster for the sole purpose of a personal interview with you. So, sir, prepare yourself. I am well assured that public opinion will sanction any course I may take with you. --Charleston Courier, May 18.
