y, might be considered capital, and which might have obliged the offender to part with his head — a portion of the body necessary to the man if not to the embassador! And to impute to Mr. Mason this offence, when his fate was in the hands of James Buchanan — that mirror of continency, that more than Joseph, that Pamela of Presidents! But the story, incredible as it first appeared, came to us so well authenticated that, careful as we are, we published it with comments appropriate to the territ Mr. Mason, with the modesty of true merit, has, I am sure, remained silent upon the subject. We rejoice that Mr. Mason's modesty has not kept this valuable information from the Cabinet at Washington, where it will produce an excitement. Mr. Buchanan will, of course, act upon the recommendation of Napoleon, as the preference of that monarch ought to be conclusive. So much for Mr. Mason as a diplomatist. But it is as a man of manners, of polish, of civility, of the best breeding, that he

with Mr. Pierce, and settled ourselves to bear as best we might the reign of Mr. Buchanan, the general opinion was that we had made a change for the better. There waenerous and ungracious things. In fact, despite the little Ostend escapade, Mr. Buchanan ran very much upon the merits of his respectability and figured in the multiin his demeanor; and he vetoed necessary measures with commendable suavity. Mr. Buchanan, we regret to observe, is rather snappish, and too much inclined to snub theh all will admit to be remarkably civil. How different the style in which Mr. Buchanan received his present! Certain gentlemen in Connecticut remarking with pain the donors gave all; they could no more; though poor the offering was. That Mr. Buchanan would have found a study of the paper profitable, we confidently aver. But ress of the White House is said to be a well-bred young woman; and we advise Mr. Buchanan to entrust his more delicate correspondence to her. Female tact will amply a

ther scolded him, his mammy protected and humored him; and seems, in his desolation to have come to the conclusion that this is rather a weary world. There appears to be nothing to do but to put Edward Pollard, Esq., out to nurse — dry-nurse or wet-nurse, according to circumstances — and and to strive by every tender art to divert his mind from the distracting memory of the original mammy. Of all the poor white people in Washington, he seems to be in the lowest spirits — if we except Mr. James Buchanan. Whether the result of Mr. Edward Pollard's grief for his mammy will re-open the African Man-trade, is more than we can determine. The connection between his bereavement and that branch of commerce we have been somewhat at a loss to discover. We have been able to conclude only that there now exists at the South a dearth of mammies, and that Mr. Pollard, having felt through long years the want of that most useful article, seeks to replenish the market by the importation of what we <

, and to send to Col. N. J. Scott, of Auburn, Ala., the neat sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars. We are afraid that it is just possible that Col. Scott will be obliged to wait awhile for that money; and our advice to Sir George, if he really desires to be the Alexander of Mexico, is to courageously make up his mind to defray all the expenses out of his private resources, which are undoubtedly unlimited. We beg leave, most respectfully, to call the attention of our friend, Mr. Buchanan, to this Proclamation. It may divert his mind from a too constant contemplation of his recent misfortunes; and he may pleasantly employ himself during the brief remainder of his official existence, either in assisting or arresting this expedition — it really makes no difference which. Should he determine to try a new sensation, and for once insist upon a rigid execution of the laws, we beseech him not to begin with a Proclamation, for in that particular line of warfare he cannot for a m

ead stop. He ceases suddenly to chronicle the rapidly changing features of the times in Columbia, and begins to abuse Mr. Buchanan as a poor old man. This we cannot but regard as a gratuitous insult. Poor, Mr. Buchanan is not. Old, he may be; but Mr. Buchanan is not. Old, he may be; but we are ready to wager dollars against dimes that the President is not half so old as he appears to be. The mistake is a natural one. Good guessers, familiar with his proclamations and messages, and computing his years from his drivel, would undoubte to be rather worse off than Shylock was on the Rialto. Southern gentlemen must swear, we know, but why call poor old Mr. Buchanan a liar and a dog? ‘T is inexpressibly shameful. If we were Mr. Buchanan, we would turn anchorite; we would retire to Mr. Buchanan, we would turn anchorite; we would retire to Some secluded cave, and there, over a moderate allowance of the choicest wheat whiskey, would we strictly meditate the thanklessness of mankind. What more, we beg leave to ask, in behalf of an injured old gentleman, and outraged O. P. F., would the

hey likely now to heed in the heat of insurrection, voices to which, in the calmness and solemnity of high counsel, they turned an utterly deaf ear? We do not question the willingness of Northern Democrats to do whatever service the feudal lords of the South may prescribe, as the tenure of the old tugs at the Treasury teats. But however willing the Seymour party may be to be bought, the rebels are not yet desperate enough to buy them. What, indeed, could a new Administration of the bad Buchanan variety offer, which could tempt these traitors back to loyalty? When with hasty passion they repudiated all Constitutional obligations, they gave up a legislative and judicial power far greater than that of the North, but still not great enough to satisfy their most unreasonable appetite. It was not enough for them to be potent in practice, but they insisted on being considered omnipotent in theory. We caught and surrendered their fugitives; we gave them in spite of prescription a faire

ns of a lifetime. In Virginia alone was there any official exhibition of sympathy with South Carolina in her self-invoked peril; and she sent a commissioner Benjamin Watkins Leigh. to that State rather to indicate her fraternal regard than to proffer any substantial assistance. There was some windy talk of opposing by force the passage of a Federal army southward through the Old Dominion on an errand of subjugation; and her Governor, John Floyd, father of the late John B. Floyd, Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of War. in his annual Message, said something implying such a purpose. Ex-Governor Troup, of Georgia, and a few other doctrinaires of the extreme State Rights school, muttered some words of sympathy with the Nullifiers, about to be crushed under the iron heel of Federal power — some vague protest against Consolidation; but that was all. Had it become necessary to call for volunteers to assert and maintain the National authority on the soil of the perverse State, they would do

Mr. Buchanan January 11, 1836. presented a memorial of the Cain (Pennsylvania) quarterly meeting of Friends, asking for the same in substance as the above. Though opposedle obstacles to such a reference, he would move that the memorial be read, and that the prayer of the memorialists be rejected. The question being demanded on Mr. Buchanan's motion, it was carried by the decisive vote of 34 to 6.
