,he pithy expression, "Buchdnan, 6eware of edge
stools" Ii will lie rcncml cred that Mr.. Buchanan
IN the course Of 4 speech some time since exclaimed
"a would that the whole of New England might
hear my voice" They appear to have heard it,
aud Mr.. Buchanan is thus honorcd with their re-
ply. New England, like all other sections of the
union is not well pleased with that political theory
