NOTE A.
prtrad from hs american Quarterly Revifo for De-
esmbsr, 1892 PIP. 429, 430.
The work of Mr.. Grahame has by no means re-
esivsd among the attention to which 1t is fairly
entitled 3D.. f..
The same subject had already been treated, and
t must be owned in an able manner, by Chalmers, an
arch tory, but laborous inquireri stern enemy to
bur Independence, but patient student OF our State
Ihe partialities of Mr.. Grahame are, on the con-
kary, always with the eolonists. He traces the
progress of the colonies with the fond admiration OF
philanthropis and delights 10 exhibit their con-
dnct in an honorable aspect. He has understood
The faults, and done justice to the lofty virtues OF
Inc Puritans; and with the exception OF one or two
remarks which charge our nelghbors OF Rhode Isl
and, uniusty, with pusilanmity, and a concession
IN the merits Of Penn in terms too much qualified,
md with insinLltions, which imply unwarrantable
sslhshness and injustice-with these exceptions,
Mr. Grahame hes given no cause Of complaint from
want Of readiness TO acknowledge the merits Of
hhe founders Of our States.
Thus, then, we may give toa history Of the United
States written by a scholar Of Scotland, the praise
f candor and beraliiy. Il is right also to inquire
what materials he possessed which enabled him to
execute his purpose with fidelity and here there Is
ample room 10 commend the diligence with which
hhe sources Of history were investigated by him.
bot on this subject, Mr.. Grshame shall give his
own account, especially as the passage which we
extract will serve TO show the spirit in which his
kesign was conceived

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1916.
Nomination of Mr.. buchanan TO a Judgeship-
4 Opposition Warehouse BiN-Mr Whitney's pro
ject for a Pacifc Railroads.&c.. Houston-Mr.
Webster Mexican AGans- Conditions on tchich
the President tciA treat.
The rumor of Mr.. Buchanan's resignation and
nomination to a judgeship, has, since first
toned it, gained shape and character 1t is now
confidently asserted that his nomination goes in
on Tuesday next What caused me to doubt its
truth at 6rst and what makes me still hesitate to
endorse the rumor is the fact, that there is known
to be an organized opposition to his appointment.
The wings smartng under the abrogation Of the
tariff bill Of 1912, are de ermIned, at least some
OF them, TO oppose the appointment. 1t is known
that MIR. Webster will not oppose him; but II is
said, although do not believe IT, that those men,
beers Of the Senate who claimed the whole Of Ore
gon, will oppose him. / am confident that those
gentlemen will be swayed by higher motives in
voting for Judge of the Supreme Cour than
mere pique. Should there be chance of re-
lection, Mr.. Buchanan will not allow his name
TO go before the Senate.
The warehouse bill was under discussion to-
day III the House, and the snb-treasury bill was
up in the Senate. Mr.. Whifney's project Tor con-
structng a railroad to thePacifc was brogh, up by
the cha OF the Committee on Public Lands,
Mr.. Breese, on motion to PRINT the memorial
and report OF the committee. The prof CT
fercey assailed by Mr.. Benton, who called it the
most iapudent attempt ever madeto Impose on
the Senate, and said a great many other hard
things OF it, Mr.. Houston made good speech
on the Texas navy question and Mr.. Evans
made one oil his powerful practical speeches in
opposition to the sub treasury BILL Mr. Webster
is To close the debate on this question tomorrow,
after which the vote will be taken. There IS no
doubt Of the passage of the bill. There is no
other measure of any importance demanding
the attention Of Congress, besides those | have
mentioned.
The government is actively engaged in making
every preparation for the prosecution of the Mex
lean war. The only condition of peace that can
now be at all entertained by government is
the cession Of California. II is but just, that the
citizens who have suffered taxation and grevous
loss at the hands of the Mexicans, should be fully
Unidentified for the outrages they have sustained.
England cannot possibly move in the matter, ex-
cept to tender the advice to the Mexcans TO sue
for peace. GALvIENsIs.
