CT The able Washington Correspondent of tn
u. 5. Gazette holds the following language, tonch.
ing Mr.. Buchanan's views in relation TO the tariff
resolutions now before Congress. The idea, how
ever, OF Mr.. buchanan supporting Mr.. Clay for the
Presidency, is we think, rather far fetched
Mr. Buchanan has been taking notes. but whe-
ther he intends to speak or not, is not known,
nor if he does speak, what course he will take in
debate, he cannot oppose the resoluons-at least
that part OF them which asserts the necessity OF
augmenling the duties upon foreign articles beyond
twenty per ceni-for he would then be opposing
the policy to which Pennsyvsnia must look for her
future prosperity; and, on the other hand, if he
supports the resolutions, he will be supporting Mr..
Clay. Blu, do not think he will do this very Ne
tuefdIaiy. The fact is, Pennsylssnis, Ohio and
Kentucky, are natural slhes-thet interest is iden
teal, and Mr. Clay has been the consistent
advocate Of the measures which would II carried
into effect, make those states what God and nature
desigaed they should be, g'eat powerful and nch,

An eye whose tears with mine are shed.
There are two hearts whose movements thrill
In unison so closely sweet
That, pulse TO pulse re. pon.ive STILL

as we have already mentioned, arri.

dispatches for Lord Ashburton.-
lie came on to Boston by the Britain

messenger arrived at Davenport on

London, with dispatches for our min

Radamanthus, (steamer) which was
previously intended to sail for Lis.
bon and Malta, should proceed hence
with this gentleman 10 New York.
There was no commercial steamer TO
sail from this country until the 4th
June next; so that this sudden
and unexpected despatch of the
Radamanthus indicates clearly that
objects which have led to the
sending out of the messenger are of
an unusually important nature. The
