TOO BAD.

The appropriation of $4,000 (Which would
not be more than half enough) 10 renovate the
Presidential mansion, and put il in comiorta-
Bile and decent condition, betting the Chief
Magistrate Of this great nation, has been seve-
raj times rejected in the House OF Representa-
tives We are aware that there is a class Of
simi-savsges in the country, who, because they
live in dirty huts themselves, would be ready TO
censure the representative who would vote 10
place the President in a better condition than
their own but we never supposed they were
sufficiently numerous to intimidate and degrade
any member Of Congress down to their own
level.
We hope the President elect, if he should be
compelled to furnish the house at his own ex
pense, will never permit any Of these barbarans
in Congress TO place their knees under his ma
hogany.

MR.. BUCHANAN'S SPEECH.

This great statesman has said more on the subject
oAnnexaton, in short speech than has been said
by all the other Congressional orators since the
mencement the present session. He declared
and his words were stamped with wisdom-that it
the great and absorbing question Of the age and
he should elevate himself to its standard. He did
elevate himself fully to its lofty height and ample
scope and poured forth flood of light upon the H.
lusrious body of which he is member. He has thus
secured an imperishable title to the gratitude and
applause Of his country.
am well persuaded that the luminous speech oil
Mr.. Buchanan, together with the powerful and con-
elusive argument of the distinguished and patriotic
Senator from New Hampshire, Mr.. Woodbury., will
carry this great national question for believe II
will be carried Such men, and all such, Justly
deserve the proud sppellaton of Conscrpt Fathers.
VERITE SANS PEUR.

ORoANizaTIoN.-W would respectfully recon-
mend 10 our Republican friends in the Stale, 10
I've organizing for the Spring elections. We onghl
10 have "J'nion and Energy" inscribed upon our
banners In some of the Congressional Districts,
there is talk about different candidates. We
trust that they will either arrange among them
selves, or submit TO their friends, who shall run.
We observe that Mr.. Williams of Shenandoah
who has been spoken of as candidate, declares
that he will not be So unless he should he select
ed as the nominee BY the Convention. Our friend
Leicher has also been recommended by some of
his friends MFR. Taylor the present member, is
lust announced as candidate. We canno, doubt,
that the most conciliaory spirit will animate all
the Republicans Of the District and that there
will be but one candidate. ANY split in Con-
gressional District sheds It's disastrous effects, TOO
upon lis several counties in the election of Dele
gates; and we must save the House next Winter
fhat's po.-In the Senatorial Districts, we should
also present an undivided front. In the North
ives, District, We see no opposition made 10 Mr.
Newman The District should NOT permit him 10
TO retire. He made strong, and an eloquent, and
efficient speech in The Senate on Thursday night
upon the election of Councillor. 1t told upon

memorable as The Fates The member too from

Much credit has been claimed by the Wings

that, until the present session, they have never
had him in their power. Their having voted
