The Pennsylvania Inquirer Of the lst ius,,,
says:-We learn from authority entitled "a ,-.I
it, that the Hon. James Buchanan, of this s,,,.
has been appointed our minister to the court GS
Petersburg.
We give in another colamn the last letter =,

tention.
In the present state Of the weather. tits recon-.

Like master, like man. We have not room nor
inclination 10 spend much time, and treat SEM.
rately several matters which attracted our notice
in the last number Of the .. official" and shall
content ourselves with taking running glance
at them.
The Globe abuses the Court because the jur
gave a verdict ia favor of FlIlebrown This
in character. The favorers Of the present ADM
nistratlon have always been hostile TO the judi
cary. The Judges and Courts Of the country
do not find much favor in their eyes. The Court
however. in this case, where its character
known and its uprishtTcss acknowledged, will
laugh to scorn the lmpotent malice of those 10
power. How low and contemplate must the
Administration appear in the eyes Of senslbl.
men, when ii has TO resort to such measures
The Globe, speaking Of Watkins, talks Of the
" party in whose cause he suffers" This vi.
slinjer show, It's origin. Honorable men woua
disdain the use OF such caumnies. Pray in who's.
Cause did ira " goldman, Mortimer Cunningham
Christian Werlich, Deane, and other rogues, SUI
fer, who have been put into Office by Gen. Jact
son? This might be the answer to the vile lua
nuations of the officiaI-but we do not fight With
their weapons.
The Globe says, " the Lawyers Of the cour
try form the basis of American Aristocracy."-
This is only repetition of vulgar slang, and H
pressed in the true Jack Cade style. Where il
there more intelligent, highminded, patriots
class of citizens, than the gentlemen Of the Bar:
Are they to be reviIed as d" Aristocrats, because
their habits and feelings prevent them from wal
lowing in the slough of partyi We hope that
gentlemen Of all other professions are not 10 b |
prescribed as well as all lawyers.
The Globe talks of " courtshp" betwee |
Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. CLAY. We can tell hs |
official, that, with al! its wisdom, it Is here mos
wofuily om. Mr.. CLAY does not court an ALL
ance with any body. lie stands before the PEE
pie on his own merits. IF Mr.. Calhoun reft
Modification. MI. CLAY, no doubt, rejoice:at
for tn sake of the country. If Mr.. CaIhOu
now convinced Of his error, refuses any long
to support General Jackson, Mr.. CIAY's fieua
rejoice at it-for the sake Of the country. Ih
is all the I" courtship" or .'wooing" which er
has, ever will. or ever can take place betNes
MIR. CLAY and Mr.. Calhoun. &c we had been
tuated by sinister motives, in the recent ruptur
we should have taken sides with Mr.. Van BuIH
What says distinguished gentleman in letter
an extract from which we see published IN ls
Richmond Wing?
" confess my surprise at the vehement IL
tacks on Mr.. Van Buren, by the Richmond NoR
and the presses friendly to Mr.. Clay genera.
They have, possible, exceeded the violence
the Calhoun press. Ought this to be sO' 10
wards Mr. Clay, Mr.. Van Buren, has always
conducted himself with respect, never, as v
Iieve, countenancing the bargain in any mann
or form. Iu siding with Mr.. Van Burcns co.
mics. Mr.. Calhoun and his party, the friends
MIR. Clay forget the past, aud overlook the 'u'F
Calhoun's friends were the loudest procaTns
OF the bargain, if they were MT the authors
the SANDER intended to destroy competitors
their compIots destroyed Mr.. Crau ford BetTa
Mr.. Van Buren's opinions, also. Of national ms D.
surcs. and Mr.. Clay's aud the National Repa'
cans. there is but shade OF difference; aoa
connection between their friends to carry u.
measures, is much more natura! than be'"s;
the National Republicans and the Nu1en|
of the Value of the Union"
Here would have been the quarter tor Gov
ing and wooing." What can Mr.. CLAWS iMs
look for from Mr.. Calhoun or his friends; y
it again, Mr.. Globe map. -
The GLOBE opens its batteries upon Dr. y.
houu, and denounces him. We say nOaE
about the policy Of this measurc-we say Doa%;
about the gratitude or honor exhibited BY y
ing. Mr.. Calhoun cannot COW. even II h''
led him that way, support the re'"s
ton. Do they intend to force him TO be ea. ..,
