We have but one or two words more
The political enemies Of Mr.. Buchanan
and some good natured, htnd, very hina
friends, wish him 10 deser, his high posi-
ton, his hosts Of friends, and the dem
pcralic party Of Pennsylvania and the
Union, who have elevated him by their
generous confidence, for the junior
,uds seship on the Supreme bench, for
which he was better qualified iltteeh
ears ago, Than he isnow. Such course
would not tend 10 elevate him in the
esteem Of his fellow citizens Of the UNI

When the electoral college Of Penn
