BUCHANAN AND CAss.-The following is an
extract from the Washington correspondence
of the New York Tribune;
Mir. Buchanan has been here for several days,
having been drawn hither for the purpose OF
setting oc foot more systematic plan to uh-
dermine Gen. Cass, to render more certain his
own selection as the next Locofoco nominee
or the Presidency. Some parts OF Gen. CasSs
speech on the WIImot ProViso have taken tie
wind out Of Buchahan's sails, and render a
third revision and alteration OF his forthcoming
letter necessary, before making its appearance
in the public Prints There is some Of the
neatest balanced deception Gnd chcdaery go
ing on between the mauagers of those two
Presidential aspirants toward each other that
was ever known. III few days | will Iiit the
veil, thai the editors of the Union may took
behind the scenes, without "peeping through
hole in the curtain" buchanan icels conf
dent Of success, and is Id high spirits so tar az
getting nomination is concerned.
We regard the vote Of the Kinds delegation
rather as compliment 70 their democratic
CONSTITUENCIES than to ourselves --Ju''ssnPplan.
The Wings haveshowered their compliments
upon the Democracy by attentions to our mod
es, cotemporary Last year they compiled
"text book" filled with quotations from the
Missssippian to the effect that the Wilmo'
Proviso was an 'abstract question" and y
favor Of Dix, New York Abolitionist Tor the
Presidency. They also made free .use q ar'''
cles from that paper denunciatOEy Of the vet
eran Qutmur, the consistent democrat who
now fills the Executive chair Of the S'ate.-

twelve years, who was riding the mare, when

crosses Wolf creek, just above the stop Of
Mr.. VIM. de Haven, at which point the plank
had been removed from the bridge for Il
