The Union gives fl, Genial 10 il;e Nhis a'-
ser,ion, that "Mr. McLane has more Than once
asked permission 10 return iome," AMI that I'll
is lhoarh, that means have been used, or are I"
be used, 10 induce him 10 leave London" Il a.
50 puts down as perfectly unfonnded the follow inc
s,atemen, abou, Mr.. Buchanan;
"If Mr. Buchanan can DE disposed ot-sent 10
The Supreme bcnch-he will give no trouble 10
the Cabinet in It's arrangement OF The Tariff
and he will not be in the way 10 force out Of the
annual message OF the President any thing which
nav SAVIOR OF lille hostility 10 England relative
10 Oregon"
We quote the words Of the Union, not only in
ins.ice 10 Mr.. Buchanan and in reiutalion Of the
idle Wing rumorS about the wait OF harmony
in the Cabiner, but II satisfy the Republican par
" al Virginia, that they have assisted IN el.cn.
President, who will prove'fue 10 his principles
10 his country and % aim@J. In the present i'm
porranl period Of our national existence, when
The friends OF strong government and oppressive
class-lesislalion, arc preparing TO WELD their
tlercesl attacks upon The principles Of The Demo
cratic parry il is all importantihdt Democratic
form Of the Constitution, and after having salts
fed his own mind, by careful and anxious ex-
animation oiihe subject, in al lis bearings, speak
out boldly and emphatcally what he himself be-
lievesto be right Clamors may be excited, a Storm
Of opposition may whistle around his head, but
The public mar, who is true 10 his principles, and
shows himself courageous in his honesty and pa
rrio.ism will never be deserted by generous and
intelligent, people. Such we believe Mr.. Polk 10
be. Such he is represented by those who ought
10 know him. But few weeks will lest his
nel:es, and settle the verdict oflhe nation;
Owe assure The Baltimore American, that the
President has no, the slightest desire 10 get clear
Of Mr. Buchanan, as every one around him per-
tec,v knows. There is not man in The Cabinet
who would Seriously nroe MIR. Buchanan to re-
tie 10 The bench Not one who would not ser-
ouslv regret his retirement. BIT the reason as
signed by This writer is equally ridiculous; Tor,
whilst the President listens with great respect 10
The advice Of his Cahnei. and 10 none of them
with more respect than To The connsels 81 Mr.. Bu
chanan he acfS rnoa his arm coar@tion, and iatcs
his ora coar@. tie cW certainly pursue ms course

The following is an extract from letter Of
the Washington correspondent oil The New Or
leans Bulletin, with appropriate comments By lis
editor. Strange indeed would il be, if clerks in
The paw cf Government, who labor for only nine
hours day, should he commiseratel as "slaves,
willie The female operatives in The ovcIsrown
manufactures with their toasled protection Of
"labor," are forced TO work mol nine nor Ten but
twelve and thirteen hours day in 4 close and
unhealthy atmosphere.
In this reform" in the p O. Department Mr..
Johnson has Justly entitled himseltio the honora-
ble appeaon Of the "Cerbcrns Of the Treasury"
Regular and honest labor, a, a lair compensa-
sation, ought 10 be chcerfnlly performed by the
employees OF Govcrnmen II promotes the inter
10 The masses, compelled By The law Of God 10 live
by The sweat Of their brow
"Mr. Cave Johnson is doing something in the
way of cutting down expenses. Tie has abolish
ed the temporary clerks, after making those which
he found in office permanent; and has thus d.
mishcd The force of The Demartmcnt 10 that
amount To do this, he has piled extra labor on
those who are in the establishment; making two
perform The duties OF three, and thus converting
those who had six hours employment per diem
into slaves condemned 10 Toll for nine hours
Such economy is characteristic Of the present
Postmaster General
("And very excellent characteristic too, cur
correspondent might have added. The luxurious
gentlemen who sroan 50 pileously under The in
Fiction OF nine hours occupation day, can find
places in private stations better adapted 10 their
easy habits; no Doubt the public service can dis
pense with them Mr. Johnson has only reformed
a crying abuse
Can any one, ailer reading HE following para
graph, doubt, for one moment the fidelity Of Mr..
Polk as 10 the Tariff question, upon which he
has always been true 10 the Republican party z
