We are persuaded the President would yladv c,,,,,

only opposing member being Mr.. Buchanan but hf

MY opinion therefore is that Buchanan will ei,he4
make erus with the President, ty which his nominl
ton to the vacant judseship will he secured and his
gwen to the consulnnalion Of the pacific intentions

pei The President 10 give him the seat he so much CO
vets. have M doubt The President anxiousy desires
to adjust The Oregon question on the basis heretofore
offered, and | know that in This he is sustained, viii
the exception Of Mr. Buchanan by The united sentiments
OF his Cabinet; aid 90 not believe that he will snhe
that gentleman to defeat his own convictions Of duty
as well as The expressed will Of the nation" l
1t is lamenabe ie think thai seat upon the benz.
OF the supreme Court is to be given as the reward,
as Inc means ofsetng rid, Of such Politician. lhsI
vacancy Las now existed more than two years. Is N
possible that the President delays to fill it, in reference
to the course Of Mr.. Buchanan?
