Ms ROEBUCK hu given notice of a motion to be brought on next Monday, "That Lime SADLIEL having absconded from public justice, be expelled this Howe.* None of our readers will for a moment suspect that we have the slightest desire to interpose between this d-linquent member of the Legislature and the sovereign displeasure of the Howe. It is perfectly fit and right that a prom against wham an information has Duo sworn end a want issued on a charge of criminal ociaspireey, for whose ensure moreover a reward has been offered by Go- runniest, and who is with good ground imputed of having sought to evade *doe by flight, should, es duo proof of those things, be expelled with ignominy from the British House of Commons.

All that we urge is this— that a decision so important, an act of legislative power so exceptional in itself, and so liable, without due precaution, to be abused, should be at Meet pro oeded by some form of judicial inquiry. It Amid sever be forgotten that the Huse of Commons is something materially different from a private club. Every individati member of that House is there, not by the choice of the Hones itself, but by the choice of a eoristituency. The eoastitueney that has dele gated the trait of representation may at any time withdraw it, but, in the absence of any union on the part of the constituent body, it requires a snug end dear ease to entitle the House of Commas to in terface. We way be told, indeed, that the ow of Jut=s SADLEIR is init coo of those that render all forms of preliminary inquiry little better than an Idle show. Ilabemus eoeftlesitern reuse. By the amis.

It is not a light thing, and it sight not to be treated as a light thing, to deprive say met lotteries of the people of those oniatitsiloaal powers with which, in the exercise of their anquestireed rights, • portion of the essiatitseat body has in vested him. The least that the Howe of Cesamoom tea do as preliminary to sash a tranemadeat anus► Mee of their peculiar powers as a tingle breach of t►e Legialatore, is to delegate to a @sleeted portion of their own body the duty of investigation and Inquiry. It will not do to sot oa hearsay and even on statements suds like in the those of the Irish A. coarse of previous debates. We may be told the all this is formalism sad pedantry.

In tke noted batmen of the South Sea frauds, whoa the whole peep* Rid with the exasperation of dkeppointed cupidity, were hounding on the Legislature to the most qinetioaable schemes of lawless retaliation, even It that wow, when spy measure of enmity against a South Sea Director would have been generally ap plauded as an act of public virtue, the Hoene of Osseasous first inquired by a secret eriandttee into the alleged delioqesnoiey and on the report of that committee proceeded to expel. The Legislature has in one instance inileated by its own act the mode of prooedure which, even in nolo. vices circumstances of delinquency, it deems advisable to follow before vacating the seat of one of its mem bets. An Act was passed in 1812 (the 69 Ozo. U. 144) for suspending and flatly vacating the slab of menders of the House of Commas who shall beams bankrupts and not pay their debts within a limited time. By this Act, in ems the fiat aping' the lan krupt member be not superseded or the debts fully satisfied within 12 months, the sommissiosens are to certify the same to the Speaker, and thereupon the election is to be declared void. U, even is such a notorious case es open bankruptcy, the Hesse requires formal proof before prossedleg to expali sagely it ought not to be aniteetsd with lees in a case like that of JAMES Summit. There sea be no difficulty about obtaining such proof, and when obtained prompt action will beams not only a right but a duty. Until it is obtained, we trust, for the mks of Parliamentary precedent and the whole some maintenance of oonstitational observances, that the Hones will not be led to vote, on Mr. ROEBUCK'S awe motion, the expulaiou of JANIS Loud& Attorwzn Government measure gone. The Ma trimonial and Divorce Bill has followed the Ap pellate Juriedicitioc, the Testamentary, and the Partnership Bills. Lord Pimaisairrox appears to relish the sport. A general bettor of Bills he con siders tam* and unsportsmanlike, bet there le the excitement of novelty in thus kipping them down one by one. His purpose, he tells us, is to continue the Omussmset, and state the murderous inteations of Go vanuent on each separate Bill as it some us. Beery sae to hie taste. We are no advocates of hasty and uneossidered legislation: it is better that the cosatry should wait for good measures than agar limier a rash inflictioa of bad ones. Bat what, may we venture to silk, are the Jamaica. of a Prime Minister if sot to single out, at all events, some reseseres from among those which his Government has introduced, for the purpose of carefully watching their progress and ener getically pressing their pump through Parliament ? As regards this Divorce Bill, far fastanees no doubt it is a nesesure of vast importance, involving Tier time on which considerable differences of opinion exist. No one denies this. The tree question is, why, when this was notoriously the tees, was the Introduction of the Bill delayed till after Better IP A protein is now gives to revive the aware at the very anoteracesieat of sat assios. Had it been ' brought forward at the oommeamment of the present asemon, it might hare received ere this the Royal Anent. When re•introdnced let os trait that the improve ments in its form will not be confided to the mere omission of that clams inserted in the Home of Lords prohibiting the future marriages of persons di vaned for adultery. This, of Goons, must go; but let us earnestly press on the attention of the Sou crroslizzcznat the extreme importance of endea vouring still further to simplify and cheapen the procedure contemplated by the Bill. The House of Lords have, by a decided majority, declared their conviction that divorce a cameo should no b*Ser be the privilege of the rich. Let Sir RICHARD BITH/LL devise the machinery far carrying this , decision into practical effect. Should be mooed in doing this, there will be no cause for regretting the delay in passing this particular Bill. As to the general policy of so conducting the legislation of the country us to be compelled to abandon projects of law at the end of a session, simply from want of alertness in introducing and energy in pressing them, there can be no two opinions. It is not t►us that the prestige of wise and firm government is created or maintained. Illiiinli•mr4 /Me Court.

THE COUP D'ETAT IN SPAIN. Several despatches 'situating from the dominant ' party at Madrid have been remind aim* our last. Two of these are as follows : "MADRID, JOLT 16. _EVENING. "At eight o'clock this morning the insurrection was overcome on all points. General Concha ob tained pareessiou of the Toledo-gate. As some of the insurgents still held the Plus Suede, measures were taken to attack them. The various bodies of the lower orders wore eixamanded by Pashas. " At 10 o'clock the last remains of the insurgents dispersed throughout the city were annihilated. 1 ; Pliehets wL killed. - "Twelve pietas of artillery were in position in the Plass Uvalde. "The Queen visited the wounded. Happily the victims were not very numerous. "The government has been admirably supported.

They were captured by the royal troops alter some hours of Ighti mg." Our Pane oorreepoodent writes under date of yes terday evening: " No private despatches from Madrid have been delivered to-day. The fair inferenos is that the latest news cannot be very favourable to the rear tioeary cause. A good deal of official intelligence has been received, some of which has been moment :fated to me. The moat important new fact is that a legal essemblage of a certain number of members of the Cortes has been dieperesd by force by Marshal O'Doenell. A despatch states that forty members set together for the purpose of convening the Cortes is a legal way. This proceeding was perfectly re plan The constitution provides that twenty members of the Cortes may meet together and summon that body to assemble during a period of prorogation, on the ground of urgency, and that fifty members shall constitute a hones competent to proceed to business. The step taken by O'Donnell in dissolving this legal meeting was in itself s coup creiat. It is a very important fact that this meeting of the Cortes wen presided over by Cieneral Infante, who has been represented as a mediator. This looks more as if the first despatch, speaking of him as a leader of the insurgents was true. There can be little doubt that if O'Donnell madame to be nester of Madrid, the Cortes will speedily meet eleswlteto and organise a military force for their prettied= " A remora has been current all day that Espartero has been arrested, but Ido not believe it. O'Donnell must feel himself in a desperate condition indeed if be can have had recourse to such a measure, for it would inarease the insurrectionary Airy tenfold. A great many towns in Spain are already in a state of insurrection. It is said that Burgos, Valladolid, Seville, and Bemoan have proclaimed the republic. It is confirmed in many quarters that the rising in Saragossa is very serious indeed. Nothing is yet known of Espartero's movements, but this much is certain, that he did not resign, es has bun indus trionaly reported, because he was tired of public life, but on account of in open rapture with O'Donnell. His friends here think it highly probable that he will find is the interference of O'Donnell with the legal privileges of the Cortes a sufficient ground to eons forward as an active partisan of the popular ate • Yesterday evening's Petrie says :—" According to the latest despatohes and the information which ham reached as, the insurrection at Madrid has been entirely put down by the energy of Marshal O'Don nell and the royal army. General Infante, who had attempted to play the part of a mediator between the two parties, had easembled together Softy members of the conetitsent Cortes at:deals own presidency, but Marshall O'Donnell dispersed them by fore% On the other Band it is said that insurrections have broken out simultaneously on several points of the provinces, so that the prosisatation of the state of nip throughout Spain was no mere measure of pre. caution. We abstain from reprodocisg all the rumours in circulation eases yesterday, which are naturally tinged with exaggeration. We cannot fail shortly to be informed by positive despatches of the real condition of the Peninsula. The National Guard of Madrid has been disarmed.• A letter in the Pays, dated a few days before the outbreak of the insorreeties, says : "The army charged with the defense of Madrid consisted of about 18,000 men and three brigades of bores artillery. The best regiments had been quartered in the capital, and the rids battalions formed Ave months ego (composed of the eliie death regiment, and armed with the Miele rills,) had also been sent for. By them =means, takes long before the =bilateral crisis, the Qesee's government showed its firm resolution to show an energetic fees to any troubles in what quarter never they might apple The ,Assonelife, a journal always exceedingly hostile to Evaristo, has the following remarks on the crisis: Marshal Esparta°, notwitbstandiag his went of initiatim, k aot aa advinary that O'Donnell ma knoll'.

I leant from what I consider a reliable scares, that the French government has already given orders far the formation of an army of observation on the Spanish frontier. The Oarabiniers which were quarrelling the other day with the Imperial Guard at Versailles have, I am told, received the roes for Narbonne, where they will be joined by other Tee moots. I bare heard it aalrmed several times to-day that, in reasniumose of the serious state of Wain in Spain, the Emperor has seddeely left Plombieres, and is expected in Paris this wetting; bat although this news is probable enougb, I cannot undertake to say that it is true. The Monieslw is silent on the subject of the Spanish coup tritat : but, curiously enough, it gives, nude, the had "Spain.* a royal order, extracted from the Madrid Gazette of 4th May, on the " Re gime des debris de batiment nanfrage." Lord Lyndhurst's speech on Italian affair. is given at great length. The sodden upward movement at the sloes of the Boum yestsrday was not continued to-day. News from Madrid was anxiously inquired for, and in the absence of any reliable intelligence, business was almost at a stand still. The Rents fell lOc. for sash, and 20c. for account, closing at 70fr. 950., and 71fr. 100. Railways were somewhat firmer at the close. Credit Mobilise fsU 12fr. 600. foe amount, and rose 10h. for cash. "Thesrrival of Marshal Pillager in Franoe,"says, the Carrier de Marseille, "is likely to be again re hided. From information which we have every reason to believe exact, we are enabled to announce that the Commander.in•Chief of the army of the Eut need not be expected before the end of the month. This new delay will be caused by a visit which the marshal is to make to Athens, in order to ascertain from personal observation the political situation of Greece. Afterwards, Marshal Pelletier will decide whether an end ought to be put to the occupation of the Pilau by the French troops, or whether the forces belonging to Frau* in Greece ought to be di- minished or inoreseed." The Moeigeer officially confirms the acoount sre have already given of the appointment of Aid►de- Camp General Count Biueleff, Minister of the Dc. mains, es Russian ambassador at Paris. " Priam Jerome," says the Cosirrier du Havre, " he engaged fifty rooms foe himself and unite at the Hotel Frascati, with stables Led coach house' for twelve horses and six carriages. His Imperial High ness is to arrive here, it is said, on Sunday next." The &fele makes the followiog observation. on the late debate on the Italian question in the English Houses of Parliament : It is no doubt to be regretted that the dismission was sot more conolselm—more decidedly favourable to the op posed papulatiess of the kingdom of Naples and of the Roman States. Nevertheless, the tourer revolutimuy j tonal* which preload this morning not to nadentand what Lord Palmerston said, do not appear to us to be can did. When Me Prime Minister promises Italy the support (appal) of England, doss he not pledge himself to Hive the muse of the peoples of Italy 1--itod even that cause which them parade often so incorrectly c.ll the revoletioa ITALY. (11011 01711 OWN GENOA, JOLT 14. Austria has not, fora long time, made preparation' so menacing to Italyas she is making now. Wean not ' so weU acquainted with the movements of her troops within the frontier of her Lombardo-Venetian states, but in the Doehise of Modena and Parma, as like.' wise at Anoona, we see that she is preparing for great events. At Ancona, Austrian °Boers have been inspecting the batteries; they are constructing wake of fortifi cation, and filling the magazines with military stores. The general who commands in the Legations is direct ing his attention to the fortresses that command the roads and defiles; he is arming them with cannon, so as to make himself muter of the strategic points. At Massa, on this side of Italy, another Austrian commandant has had muskets conveyed to the fortress, where he has laid in fresh @applies and munitions of war. In the duchy of Parma General de Crenneville has not retired, ea be threatened the Regent he would do, but, on the contrary, has de clared that, under certain circumstances, be would raise the strength of the garrison in the city of Parma to two or three thousand nen, and place troops at Pontremoli. In the inferior of Lombardy we know that camps for field practice have been formed. In the pomace of such measures as these Piedmont has been obliged to take hers. Without waiting for the convocation of the Chambers, a royal ordinance, dated from the Castle of P.lleozo, hal directed the commencement of fresh fortifications at Alessandris, the object of which I will now explain. In 1848, Field-Marshal Radetzki, having evacuated Milan and the principal towns, concentrated his army, for the sake of security, in the square space formed by Verona, Mantua, Peachier., and Lapano. It is for a similar object—for the sake of shelter and deface—that Piedmont is now forming a square, of which Aleseandria is to be one side. fibs is about to =strict three other fortresses, connected by in trenahments and protected by the Tanaro, so that in l case of surprise she may be able to collect there a fora of 30,000 men. Lord Normanby wished to proceed to Parma on the 9th of this moth, that day being the anniversary of the birth of Duke Robert L It was known that General de Crenneville had predicted some disturb ances that might require the aid of Austrian bayonets. I I The predictions of the general may possibly have revealed a scheme leisurely planned beforehand. Lord Norman by wished to be thise, and it was not till the 10th that he lett with Lady Normanby for Maritsa. There had been some talk of an amnesty and the leaking of the state of liege on that day, but the , Gazette di Parma announces merely that a few per sons have been pardoned. ' Count Bacciocei lett Marseilles by the Deasy's,. with the legal* a later*. Bat instead of going direct vo Civita Vecchia, the steamer made for Leghorn. Mosesigneur Patrizi did not go on share, but the Count did, and travelled by the Florence Railway. This was puzzling enough ; bat we learned after wards that he went to Florence, not to negotiate with Prince Demidoff about the Princess Mathilda'e divorce, but to take advantage of Count Kiessleff's presence in that city. The Count is a Russian privy comic llor, and his mediation w.s desired for satis factorily arranging the position of the princess. Daring the war the Czar Nicholas had stopped the yearly allowance of 300,000 f. settled by Prince Demidoff on his wife. Pesos having now been concluded, Count Bacciochi's journey was for the settlement of this affair in concert with M. de Kisseleff ; but he could not have found biro at Morelia), the Russian ambassador having left for Rome. Os the 6th the latter bad an audience of the Pope, for the pur po se of presenting his credentials to th e Holy Be.. Count Beociochi will therefore go to Rome. The chief object of the Pope's interliew with the Log of Naples, at Porto d'Anzio, was to effect the sale of two Roman Prioeipalities that are land-locked, se it were, in the Neapolitan territory, them of B to and Pont. Cerro. Ferdinand 11. is still amid lest the French should pat garrisons In these two cities belong ing to the Pope, which might thus baoome two centres whence "Maritime would he propagated. The Pope wishes to create an important town at Porto d' Anzio, where there is already a church dedicated to Saint " Pio Quisto.* From this Pope's name, already venerated there, with his own name of " Pio Nogg" as the future founder of the embryo town, the combined appellation of Porto Pio weld be bestowed apse it. A French =k , M. Ificart, wishes to connect it with r; means of a railroad, and he la in treaty about it with the Roman State. The purchase moseys paid by Ferdinand would be laid out on the building of this new town. These sums would be merged in tie so-called Chines" tribute, which has long been a matter et dispute between the Holy Bee and the Neapolitan government, and the difference will in this manner be finally adjusted. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, of the 13th, says ATs Deem was performed yesterday morning in the Cathedral of St. Stephen, on the maxim of the accouchement of the Empress. All the great digni taries of the state, the high clergy, the members of the nobility now at Vienna, or who had arrived from the provinces, the diplomatic body, the functionaries of the court, and a numerous crowd of persons, were present at the ceremony. All the Archdukes went afterwards to Laxenbourg, to offer their congratula tions to the Emperor.

The yellow favor I rife at St. Thomas's, par ticularly among the ablpp.ng. At Trinidad, dyeentsry has become prevalent, and appears likely to bureau from the &Them of the season.

The army of Coen Rica has retreated within its own territory, panic-stricken by the ranges of disease. The Costa Rican exchequer is empty. It is alleged that the envoy of Costa Rica hes induced the governmeat of Guatemala to join Honduras and San Salvador in an expedition with 1,000 men,with Auld pieces, to co-omen against Walker,and that the President-amoral Carrera will march at the head 'of a formidable body in the month of July. °estimate is fa other respects tranquil, developing its internal resources.

AUSTRALIA. trams ova own oomizsroirniort.) SYDNEY, Aram 19. The Royal Charter, Captain Bop*, with the English mail of the 17th February, arrived at Mel bourne on the 16th inst., after an unpreeedentedly brilliant passage of only 69 days. The Sydney por tion was brought on by the Telegraph steamer, Captain Gilmore, who made the run from Melbourne in 46 hours. The mails of the 25th of January and 6th of February are still due, occasioning serious inconvenience to the mercantile interest. This irre gularity ought to be remedied by the authorities at home, if they 000 aider the Australian colonies worthy their attention ; if not, c'est ens autre chose, and we must learn to care for ourselves. We are willing to contribute a handsome sum toward' the re-establish ment of steam vessels to convey the mails. Commercial affairs in Sydney are still dull, and stocks at a low ebb. The York, which arrived last week, brought some consignments, and we are looking out foe larger supplies to create greater activity in the market.. It is believed that business operations will be effected with greater seenrity and profit than of late to all parties, many of the un sound traders having been weeded out by the Insolvent Court. The Bank of Australia hes again declared • divi dend for the last half-year at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, the Union at the rate of 27 per cent. We have favourable accounts from the country districts of the state of the cereal crops, and prices have much declined. Good samples of wheat are now selling in Sydney at Bs. to 9s. per bushel flour at 241. to 261. per too. In the price of hay, which twelve mouths ago fetched as high u 301. to 341. per ton, there is a great reduction, good hay being now 41. to 51. per ton. Live stock keeps up its price. Mechanics' wages have declined ; good workmen io all branches can now be obtained at 10s. to 16e. per day. The mail for England by the Earl of Sefton will be despatched from Sydney to-day by the Telegraph coasting steamer. The workmen employed on the Sydney Railway have just presented the contractor, Mr. William Randle, with • splendid vase of pure Australian gold (20 carats), weighing 80 ounces, am • testimonial of their esteem for him as an employer. This magnifi cent present, which is of very chaste colonial manu facture, cost the workmen 700 guineas. It is 173 inches high; the pedestal is very handsome. The cop is of elegant design, representiog an Australian plant, the leaves worked in chased dead gold in the lower part, which may be termed the calyx of the flower; the vase or cup itself is of burnished gold, ornamented with classic and characteristic figures exquisitely wrought; the lid is surmounted by a statuette of Victory, represented as • seraph, extending in her right hand a laurel wreath and in her left a branch of palm ; she stands amidst a foliage of aquatic plants indigenous to Australis, and the vicinity of which is the resort of the kangaroo and emu, a group of which are tastefully introduced. The flat surface of the lid is of grain and nuggetty gold, the whole surrounded by a wreath of the parasitical plants of the colony. An appropriate inscription rid Mr. Randle's arms are engraved on the vase. This testimonial must be highly gratifying to the gentleman so complimented, who, in other respects as well. has reason to be satis fied with his sojourn here- a handsome fortune having rewarded his exertions. Madame Asna Bishop, who has enchanted the people of Sydney with her delightful voice and pleas log demeanour, has announced a series of concluding concerts at the Royal Hotel Music Hall. It is in tended, previous to her leaving ns, to present her with a testimonial. It will be recollected that Cathe rine Hayes was similarly complimented. Notwithstanding the depression in trading affairs, the caterer" for public amusement have no reason to complain. Wizards and nigger minstrels, acrobats and equestrians, are all well patronised. The latest arrivals are a Mr. and Mrs. James Stark, whose re turn from California was heralded by placard', with letters as long as a walking stick. The railway from hence to Parramatta (the corn. meneement of an extenaive lane of iron road) isamply remunerative, leaving no doubt that the continua. tioo, while it tends to develop the resources of the colony, will pay a large dividend on the outlay. Al. ready numerous persons take advantage of the faci lity afforded for resid.nce at Parrematta or the inter. mediate distances, and land in the vicinity of the line command, good prices. Rents in 83dney have in o3noequenco undergone con,iderable reduction; and as the taxation of the city is becoming onerous there is an evident disposition to migrate to the district be. yond its operation. THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THE UNITED STATES. (71016 OVX OPSCIAI.CORXISVOIIDIXT.) NEW YORK, JCL? I. The approaching Presidential election will be immeasurably the most important that has been held since the time of Washington. I have hesitated about saying anything definite on the subject up to the present moment, for hitherto it has been impos. sible to penetrate the mist, or to give even a rational conjecture. But now all the candidates of all the parties are in the field, and we oan look clearly at facts and glance into the future. Ooe and all (except Mr. Buchanan) represent great bodes of the Ameri can people, bent on the accomplishment of a single purpose—t he overthrow of the present vile and con. temptible administration. Mr. Buchanan was beyond all question the strongest Border Ruffian candidate the Cincinnati coneentiest could bring into the field. With an infamous plat. form of political principles, be was the only deemed statesman they could find. With a slavery gandist creed, he &one ot the candidates had rise* to eminence in a free State. With a full inauguration of piratical filibusterism as the rule of our repablio for the treatment of our weaker neighbours, he alone had the prestige of moderation aid propriety. And when fifty thousand noisy, boisterous, unpri ncipled demagogues met in the great city ot the West, and scenes of violence, drunkenness, and blaaguardisra disgraced every hotel and street, where the Border ruffian from Missouri - grasped the hand of the de. seendant of a Boston puritan, sod Mr. Buchanan's creatures from Penn's city of brotherly love sat cheek by jowl with the murderous Brooks,all in full communion —after the perpetration of such a political creid and such disgusting orgies, these spoilemen and ruffians were compelled to drop Frank P,erce, and Douglas, and all the lowest grade of wire-pullers, and hit upon a decent man. They chose Mr. Buchanan because they had no ether man of any eminence in their party whom they could get to endorse their principles, and girt to the conflict the prestige of a respectable name. But while the country breathed treer after the news came of Mr. Buchanan's nomination, still the sober second thought of the great mass of thinking men at once reached a common conclusion. The convention first of all had in the beginning made its platform, and whoever the man might be they should place upon it, that man had hut oce thing to do—he must adopt it, wholly, heartily, and with no reserve whatever. At once the inquiry arose, " Will Mr; Buchanan do this?" "Is he such a man ?" There was but a brief interval of doubt. For on the first occasion he had publicly to respond to the call he unhesitatingly announced himself, heart and eon; with the convention, and that its platform should be the guide of his administration. On the following Sunday, just as the bells of the town were sounding the hour for religious services, and people were on their way to their respective places of worship, the I Keystone Club of Pniladelphia (200) arrived in a special train at Lancaster, the residence of Mr. Buchanan. Common decency prevented the club from any further public proceedings on that day. The sett morning, however, the members of the de. legation met Mr. Buchanan, and atter their oongra. tulations had been expressed, he made the following brief reply, which fully explsine itself: Gentlemen of the Kinston' Club, I give you • mat hearty and warm welcome to my abode. I congratulate you, not upon my n. ruination, but upon the gloriosa privt. legs of being cinema of oar great r. public. Your sups. riority over the people of othrr countries has been fully de monstrated by the conduct of • vast concourse assembled during the oast week at Cincinnati. Up - in any similar occasion in Europe the voluntary repression of the people would have been drowned in martial music, and their ao. time controlled by an at my with banners. How unlike the apeeume at Cincinnati, where delettates from the people of the ditteratt states met in convention under the protection of the mastitutioa and laws, and harmoniously deliberated upon subjects of vita importance to the country. Gentle men, two weeks since I should have made you a longer speech, but now I have been 'thorn upon a platform of which I most heartily approve. and that can speak for me. Being the representative of the great democratic party, sad not simply James Buchanan, I must square my conduct se cording to the platform that party. and insert no new Plunk, nor take as from it. That platform is sufecientl, broad and Rational foe the wt•ole denrcratic party. Thus glorious party now, more than ever, has demoustrated that it is the true conservative party of the constitution and of the anion. There is nothing equivocal here. He had but one course to take. He must equate his conduct by that platform—he must add to it no new plank—he must take no plank from it. What else could have been expected? Every man in that convention knew exactly where Mr. Buchanan stood, and the convention had his most binding pledges to govern his administration by the rules laid down there. These principles embrace the extension of African slavery just as far over the bosom and body of the Republic as force, fraud, and violence can carry it. It embraces the robbery of the territory of all our feeble neighbours and the in auguration of a reign of brigandage, and it an nonncee hostility and aggression to all Europe. Now, while everybody who knew Mr. Buchanan was aware of the pliability of his ambition, those who had watched his political course with care saw at ones that this outrageous Cincinnati creed was in perfect harmony with hie whole life. It fitted him exactly. It was so neat a fit that it seemed to have been made for him, and he for it. Mr. Buchanan withheld a vote nor an act for the extension of slavery. He has always been its champion. Its most radical and fanatical eulogists have been his political and personal favourites. He has always been known as a northern man with southern principles—an ex treme slavery propagandist. He has always die. played in public lite the strongest partialities for men of low character, and such be has chosen as his instruments. His secretaries, COMM., confidants, and 'gents have almost invariably been men who could find no welcome in better circles, so long as they bad no odour of office shout them. So far as European matters go, it is well known that Mr. Buchanan got np the Ostend Conference, and pressed upon Mr. Pierce's administration the forcible seizure of Cubs, involving a war with Spain, and perhaps with other European powers. These are all facts which have long been beyond the reach of doubt of denial. But the accuracy of these state manta does not after all affect the present issue. The question now is, what kind of an administration we should have under Mr. Buchanan? Plainly it would be bat a continuation of the policy of Mr. Pierce. Things have come to such a pees among us that conventions have ceased to look for more than two qualifications in their candidates—availability, in order to ensure et:ocean, and subserviency and pliability when elected. The policy of our Presidents is no longer dictated by statesmanship, but by the interests of party. Their lets are not the offspring of the presidential brains, but of the intrigues of aspiring rivals. The public business is not done by the cabinet which site around the Board of Green Cloth—it is all cut and dried by the kitchen cabinet, a clique of unprincipled wirepuller. and political gamblers, who swarm around every new President. This system has prevailed ever since the retirement of General Jachsoe, the lot great man we have seen in the presidential chair. Mr. Bucha nan promises us no new reyittle. He does not even hint one. He does not desire illy. None of hie friends want a new order of things, and yet a great and radical change must come, and come soon, or we shall see our republic blotted oat. This conviction has spread all through the free States, and resulted in most important political action. The Know-Nothings of the North. called the North Americans, met in convention in New York, on the 12th of June, to repudiate the nomination of Mr. Fillmore, and put another and better candidate into the field. Five days later the republican party,
