hanan.-We have few men in our ranks to
whom the Wings concede all the attributes Of EN-.
inent statesmen. One Of these is James Buc.
hanan, the favorito Senator Of Pennsylvania.
He has lately drawn the character of the Presi.
dent Eec, in a few words, but with so much truth
and correctness, that it will be recognized as a
faithful drawing by all who know him well.
In letter Of the llth ult., published in tho
Globe, Mr.. Buchanan says:
81 have been upon terms of personal, political
and social intimacy with James X. Polk for near
ly twenty years; and have observed him in all sit
uations, both in the sunshine and in the Storm
Whilst the tremendous of the Bank of the
United States against the administration of tho glo-
rious old hero and sage Of the Hermitage
raging, he never quailed, but led the van of thu
Democracy in the House of Representatives. l
shall venture the prediction that, as President or
the United States he will disapT the expecta.
lions of his political foes, and will surpass even
the high hopes ofhis friends. Prudent, firm, and
sagacious, with character, public and private,
above all reproach his country's good will be the
polar-slar Of his administration; and his own glo-
ry and lasting benefits to the people of the Unit
ed States will be his rich reward, provided no be
not thwarted by premature attempts to divide the
party in a struggle for tho next Presidency. His
own nomination and triumphant election ought to
warn the friends of all impatient asprants, II any
such there be, that those who the first TO en-.
ter the lists, and thus distract the party, will bo
the last in reaching the goal.
"The leading characteristic Of Mr.. Folks mind
is an almost unerring judgement. which eminent
y fits him for the high position to which his coun.
try has called him. During his long and varied
services in Congress, it may be said of him what
| could scarcely be asserted Of any other public
man, placed in similar postion-,hat he has
never had occasion to explain or rctract any of
his votes. or even to qualify any of his opinions
expressed in the ardor Of debate.''
In the late canvass there was concerted at
tempt throughout the Uuion, amongst the whig
| leaders. to represent Mr.. Clay rs infinitely the
superior of Mr. Polk in all the great characteris-
tics Of statesman. In the contrast which was
continually presented to the people, the grossest
injustice was done to Mr.. p. Whilst Mr.. Clay
was elevated far rbove his true level MS man of
talents, his competitor was equally as far below
his true level. Long before the close Of his adj
mnsiratqn nlls b9 will have satisfied all candid men,
hold him Up "s having superior claims 10 talents.

IN .adroi Tr;ck.--A lady, saws the N. Y.
Sun of yesterday, elegantly and fashionably
dressed, OF prepossessing appearance and man
ners, stopped IN her coach at one OF the FASH
lonable stores to examine some costly shaws,
she was drawn up stairs into the shawl room,
where one of the partners in the firm attentive
~ waited upon her. After examining and dis
carding number, she selected one for $780,
II was not exactly the article she wanted and
she would call at some of the other stores, and
II not better suited would take that shawl,
which was laid aside for her. In about half an
hour her carriage drove up TO the store again,
and she went up stairs into the shawl room TO
take the article, not having been fortunate
enough to suit herself elsewhere; she finally
determined TO purchase the original one, which
she ordered to be put up and sent down to the
carriage which was promptly DONE The lady
rummaged her pockets, and suddenly exclam-
ed in great trepidation, Heavens, pve lost my
pursen Where ma'am did you lose l'' 81
must have been lost here, for felt il in my
pockets when assembled the stairs.' The stairs
were searched but no purse found. do YOU
remember, madam said the store keeper, show
much money you had in your purse1' 'Yes,
perfectly, there was one note of $1,000 and Two
Dos, some silver and gold ring and locket'--
Alter great many reciprocal regrets and rum
maging. in throwing aside some wrapping pa
per under table, there lay the pursewith the
glitterlng steel clasp and ornaments. The lady
was overioyed--the store keeper quite happy
she emptied the contents on The table, and sure
enough, there was the $1,000 note, the two
bOs, silver, iewelry, &c. &C., all right and fair
Alter reciprocal congratulations and many won
ders how such an accident could possibly have
happened she handed the $1,000 note, received
$3.50 in change, was handed into her carriage,
aud she told the coachman to drive to Mrs -,
Broadway, and off she drove. On settling the
cash at night the $1,000 note was found to be a
counterfeit or an altered note, and the lady is
not yet found. The clever ruse Of losing her
purse, describing its contents, finding il, and
the contents being exactly as described, remov-
ed all suspicious Of deception at once. So the
fashionable store keeper lost his $3.50 shawl,
and $3.50 in change in the bargain. .I.-

BISHOP oNpERDoNK.

| The trial Of this gentleman, which was in pro
gress some two weeks, closed on the second inst
and he has been pronounced guilty by the Cour
of Bishops sitting in judgment upon him, of the
charges on which he urrnigned. The -trin
took place within closed doors, and the exact charg
es and the testimony by which they were support
ed have not vet transpired. II is well understood
however, that he is accused OF taking improper lib
critics with several ladies', mostly clergymens wives
and this too, generally, when under high excite.
men from the too free indulgence in the festivities
of the table The vote Stood for conviction II, for
acquittal 6. The three presenting Bishops did not
vote. II they had voted, the vote would have been
against the Bishop ID, for him g. Hopkins, Of this
State, voted with the majority. After this decision
was announced the Bishop sent in message to the
Bench Of Bishops, declaring himself guiltess Of
any impuriiy of intention in the conduct proved
upon him, and submitting himself to their decision.
A proposition then made to depose him from
Office and from the christian ministry, but did not
prevail; the vote stood, ayes g. noes 9. He was
then indefinitely suspended, by the same vote re-
versed ,-ayes 9, noes 8. This leaves him in office
but suspends the exercise of his powers and duties
The proceedings are to be published
This event must be one of painful modification
to all Christians and particularly to Epscopalians.
We trust il viii be attended with some good re-
suits. II ought to dbate somewhat the insufferable
arrogance Of prelacy, and remind Bishops that they
are but men and liable TO err. This same Bishop
Onderdonk is the one who only year since so
greatly disguised respectable portion of his own
church, and all sensible out of il. by his AFRO
giant assumptions of power over the laty and cler-
gy of his own diocese, and who as presiding Off
Ger ola convention, refused TO permit appeal TO
be taken from one of his decisions TO the conven-
ton itself, and rudely prohibited the Hon VIM. Du-
en- from exercising the freedom of debate by an in
solent command to sit down
We hope too, that Episcopalians will learn a use
full lesson, painful though it be- upon the subject of
temperance. majority of them, both clergy and
aty have either opposed coldly stood aloof from
the temperance reformation, and have continued
the use OF wine and sometimes of stronger drinks
Now that two of the luminaries of their Church,
the Bishops of New York and Philadelphia, hare
fallen by intemPeranee, we trust they will see that
even the Church is not beyond the reach of this
fell destroyer of all that is good. We say they
have fallen by intemperance, for although both Of
these gentlemen charged with improper con-
duct towards the other SEX yet in both cases these
imProPrieties are the result, and Of the natural
results, Of wine bibbing.

Mr. Benton IRstructed.-The Ajax of Democracy
has been instructed by his constituents upon the
subject of the annexation of Texas. The Legisla.
ture of Missouri, after considerable caucussng be-
tween the 'Hards' and 'Softs, and some verbal
passages at arms not altogether soft, have passed
series of resolutions pretty distinctly condemning
MIR Bentons mode of Annexation, and in favor Of
immediate and unconditional Annexation They
expressly condemn that portion Of Mr. Benton $

into free and slave states The Legislature, with
a-wonderiul condescension, proceed TO say that II
they cannot have Annexation in the way they point
out, they will consent to it, in any way in which it
comes They instruct their Senators TO carry out
the views of the Legislature, as expressed in these
resolutions
II remains to be seen what course MIR Benton.

constituents.
