LANES BUCuANAN's SPEECH

The Hon. James T. Austin, the AttorA
nev General Of Massachusetts, has lately
returned to Boston from twelve weeks
visit at Washington city-and has delIve-
red "A Lecture to the Wings Of the former
city, upon what he had seen and heard
during his visit. He stated that the al
most universal response to the question
about the prospects of the Presidential
candidates, is that "the success Of Harrl-
son, is no longer questionable matter"
He also gave the following notice ofthe
controversy between Mr.. Davis and Jas.
Buchanan, the concluding remark ofwhich
is probably as true, as it must be calling
TO Mr.. Buchanan.
He was present when the Pennsylva-
MIA Senator made his speech, to which
Mr.. DAVIS replied. He listened to him
attentiyely, and understood him precisely
as Mr.. Davis understood him. The speech
was published subsequently in the Globe,
under Mr.. BIS. own supervision, and It APP
peared there substantially as il was cell
yered, and as every body understood II at
the time OF It's delivery. IL lcas onSwered

handled the Pennsylvania Senator with
much less courtesy than he received at

editor of the Peoples Press, wrote as fol-
lows, in relation 10 il: ave say again,
aud again. for the information of distant
readers, that the law on which Gen. Ilar-
risons voted had nothing to do with debts
nor lebiors. Ii was no part of our civil

of SCOUNDRELS and ROGUES, (of
like character with those who circulated
this calumny,) such as break into their
ncighbors' houses at night, TO steal and
plunder--such as burn hay stacks. kill

tain money under false pre,ences, destroy
bridges, break down tomb.stones, rob the
graves of the dead, live in state of for.
nication, assist prisoners to escape from
Justice, &c. i, had no connection with
the debts nor the business of an honest
man. FELONS and VILLAINS alone
came within its cognizance--and none but
FELON'S or VILLAINS heart could
be so base as to attribute TO valiant, a

rams horn. II is rough and round, half
an inch in diameter at the root, and Of a
brownish hue. These horns are round
and blunt at the top, aud hollow at the
base. Blumpnbach ascerlained, by che

the rhinocerous than TO the horn Of any
other animal. These three horns were

evidence.
