Mr. Buchanan, certainly, maintained the credit OF

Office, and with degree Of honorable beralty; but
none Of his associates, except perhaps Mr. Mason

encouraged by the example Of Mr. President Polk
whose household was conducted on a more miserly

Washington.
II Is generally believed that he has saved between
$50 and SIS 00ont Of his salary and during all the CON

that however the opposition might denounce his
Administration they cou,I not deprive him of these

Congress, at the last session, appropriated
$4,000 for refurnshing the Presidents
