SECRETARY BUCHANAN.

The following grave allegation is made against
MIR. Buchanan by the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia North American. We regret
to add that it is too Characteristic Of that individual
90 permit us TO doubt its TRUTH
During the Presidential canvass, various malip
nant lmputations were cast upon the reputation of
Mr. Clay by the press in Pennsylvania and other
quarters, some of which We're alleged to have been
made ON the authority of Mr.. Buchanan. What
was his course on that occasion? Instead of de-
handing an immediate retrac,ion of these fabrica-
TONS and denouncing their authors, Mr.. Buchanan
seats himself In his Senatorial chair and addresses
MI Clay, assuring him that the Democratic Jour
nails had faisified in using his name as authority
and that he was innocent Of any knowledge or par
tcipa,on in the statements. Meantime the SIAN
ders were multiplied aud disseminated out of doors
MIR. Buchanan permitted all the public injury that
could rcsul, from such calumnes to affect Mr. CLAW.

tesatons of esteem. rs fulsome as they were false

FROM THE RICHMOND REPUBLICAN,

MI Polk, when he endeavors to silence the inn
Pudent Wing varets who dare to question his inRal

prove that the Wings had ever furnished the Mex

explanations OF the Message in regard to Santa An

isictory, but wouly deficient in candor. as would
appear from the following statement of the Wash

There is in this part of the message. too. as
much OF the surpressio ucri as in any other. The

by an agent OF our government-and further that
the interview of this agent with Santa Anna did
not warrant any favorable conclusions as TO his dis
position or ability TO peace with the United

countrymen In case of his return.--He promised not
to hwart any such disposition, and to aid it, if he

man, the greatest enemy our government has ever

Yet the official paper stated in the ''most positive
terms that our government had no sort of connec

or any other purpose"

CONGRESS.

During the past week there has been but little
business Of interest transacted in either House On
tuesday the 10th inst, the Foreign Conquest Re
solution Of Mr.. Davis was agreed to, without de-
oate, In the lower House, but with two modifica-
lions, VIZ: that the President he requested to com
muncae copy of his orders instead OF directed to
communicate them; and further, that the informa-
ton be communicated if consistent with the public
interest.
The President has option now whether to an
swer the questions proposed in the original resou
tons Of Mr. Davis or not. The inquiry is upon two
points-the establishment Of civil governments in
the conquered Provinces and the fact of The recoq
milton OF those governments by the Executive.

REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS.

The Westminster (British) Review ascribes the
victory over the Corn Laws TO the commercial and
manufacturing classes, and declares that it ''has
been won against the combined hostility of the
working classes, the clergy, and both sections of
the arlstocracy." 1t would seem, at first view. to
be very strange that the working classes should
have been opposed to the repeal, and it is only IN
be accounted for by surprising that with the rc,uo
ton of the price OF bread they believed there woud
be corresponding reduction in the wages Of labor
SO That their condition would in reality be rendered
no better And this, indeed, is in exact accordance
with the view taken of it by intelligent Wings in
this country. 1t was regarded by them as mere
measure OF Government policy, to enable British
manufacturers to sustain themselves aoains, tho
successful rivalry Of our own countrymen. The
Drtsh operative was already reduced to the lowest
point possible at which he could keep soul and BODY
together, and the only means left, therefore. to
cheaper his labor, was to cheaper his bread
In Confederation OF these views we subion an ex-
tract from very able article understood to bo from
the pen OF the Hon. VIM B. CALHOUN, of Massa-
chusetis, on Mr.. CoLroN's new work entitled
''The r. ghts Uf Labor:''
Labor Is regarded by the foreign writers. who
nave aiWays been allowed To furnish us uur lessons
as mere power, like horsepower or any other
brute force and is almost universally spnkop NJ
and commented on, as If it were a mere physical
operation; and National wealth is declared to he
the result OF material products. The usual theory
OH this subject Is derived from state of sucetv not
now 10 be found; at least not to he found as uriqi
naiy; we mean the tcudal system. The tenure of
the great mass Of the pc pie throughout Europe is,
indeed, substantially the same as under the old sys
tenn 1t is the service rendered by the n,any in the
I'm Of manual labor, FIR the benefit and to pro-
mote the objects VI the fec, who possess what pass
es as capital. From this capital an equivalent is
paid called wages; but the idea OF wages is sub
stanilally not To be distinguished from The eouiva
lent which the farmer gives to his horse or OK for
the service which the beast renders. The man la
borer receives money to purchase food clothing and
dging-the horse laborer the OK laborer receives
n S food, clothing and lodging outright And in
Europe the great science on the subject has been,
and Is now, to find out the least that will answer
this purpose.'

midnight, the U. S. brig Somers, then laying at
Green Island, four or five miles from Vera Cruz,
sent boat with Lieut.. Parker, Passed Midship-

five men, and burned the Mexican brig Creole,
moored to the castle of San Juan. The following

The officers who distinguished themselves on
the night Of the 10th November, by burning the
Creole, also succeeded in capturing seven Mexican
prisoners. No one injured except Passed Midship-

writer says:
This city is now well garrisoned by our troops
under Col. Gates, and that gentleman is highly de-
iigh'ed with his new quarters. The greatest ac-
vty has been carried ON by the officers of the army
and navy, for several days, in terrifying all the as
salable points, and we are now ready to meet all
the force that Mexico can send against us. The
occupation ot this place by our navy and army has
caused the greatest alarm in Santa Annals army at
San Luis Poosi, and his troops are daily deserving
IN large numbers. Excuse this haste, as have
been actively assisting the army and navy for seve
raj days past"
;. we have heard from several sources that great
disorder had fallen upon the Mexican army at San
Luis Polosl. Too much reliance should not be nut
in these rumors. In another column will be found
advices from the City Of Mexico, which argue any
thing else than quiet time for our army.
