| From the Union of Sunday, we extract the
following remarks of Mr.. BUCHANAN. in ac-
acknowledgement of hickory cane" presented
through DIR. LEIB, of Lucas County, Iowa, on
behalf of portion of the Democracy of that
State.
Upon receiving the cane, accompanied with
the proceedings of the meeting, from DR.. LEIB,
Mr.. BUCHANAN responded as follows:
SIR: accept with profound gratitude the
" hickory cane which my distant Democratic
friends of Lucas county, in the State OF Iowa,
have, through you, presented TO me as a token of
Their regard. The character OF the donors greatly
enhances the value of the gift crown oil olives
was the distinction conferred by the free people
of Greece upon the victors in the Olympic games;
and this they priced far more highly than crown
sparkling with precious stones, II bestowed by a
despot This plain but beautiful hickory
cane" coming, as it does, from the hands of the
hardy pioneer farmers of Iowa, who plough their
own soil, shall ever be precious in my eyes. The
penalty imposed on the first parents of our race,
that by the sweat of their face they should eat
bread, has been converted by kind Providence
into signal blessing. The cultivation of the soil
imparts vgor TO the body and independence to
the mind. The man who handles the plough pos
sesses both strength and courage to handle the
sword in defence of his country, Such has ever
been the character Of the pioneers who have sub
dued the wilderness and extended the domain of
civilization towards the Far West.
With you, heartily rejoice in the belief that
the compromise measures of the late Congress
have finally settled the dangerous questions among
the States of our confederacy, arising out OF the
institution ofdomestic slavery. We must expect,
however, after the violent storm which has pre-
vailed, that some time will yet elapse before the
surges of public opinion shall entirely subsde
but ere long all will be peace, provided the people
of the non -saveholding States shall faithfully ex-
ecute the fugitive slave law and cease to Interfere
with the domestic institutions exclusively pertain
ing to their sister States Meanwhile, the Amer
lean people, relieved from the apprehension Of
danger to the Unon will continue to execute their
grand mission of extending the empire of liberty
of law, and of Christianity our vast ur occu-
pied territory. The people of Lucas county will
not be long on the frontier One wave of popua-
ton will pass beyond them after another until the
whole region between them and the Rocky noun
tans shall be covered by a moral, Industrious and
enterprisng race of freemen. There are individ-
uals in this company who may live to see the day
when we shall number one hundred millions of
souls within our teri tory, and constitute more
powerful nation than the Roman empire ever was
in the meridian of its glory.

volye the government in a foreign war, but he
could see no advance TO any such danger IN dong
an act of justices What the laws OF nations do
not forbid any nation may do.
Mr. SHIELDS proposed substitute TO Mr..
SfwARp's resolution, 10 the effect " that COM
mittee of three be appointed 10 wait on Kossuth,
Governor of Hungary, and introduce him to the
Senate"
Mr.. SHIELDS said that he would cite the pro-
ceedings OF the Senate on the occasion OF Latay-
elite 3 visit precedent for his resolution, when
each branch of Congress received him IN thelrown
manner.
The President decided that the substitute was
not in order, it was a Senate resolution, and
the res ,lulion of the Senator from New York,
Mr.. SEwARD,) was a joint one.
MIR. BERRiEN, although he sympathlzed IN
the cause Of Hungary, could but look on some of
the legislation proposed in this matter as impolittc
and wrong. Kossuth comes TO this country to
eminent to aid his cause, not simply by It's moral
influence, but by the exercise Of physical force.
In his ew, it was not within the power of Con-
gress to pledge the United States to do what he
deslres-declare that foreign power shall inter-
fere in the affairs Of Hungary. Such a course
will most Incidentally plunge us IN war. He
(Mr. b. proposed an amendment TO the resou-
ton, providing that nothing contained IN 1t
should be construed into az inter ference on the
part of the United States, as between Hungary
and any other power.
Messrs HALE, FooTE and MILLER, spoke at
considerable length IN favor of kossuth s recep-
tion-Mr FoorE replying to Mr.. BERRiEs.
Mr. SUMNER took the floor, but gave way to
motion to adjourn
At quarter past 3, the Senate adjourned

same day and these phenomena were repeated
on the goth, with still greater intensity. Fortu-
nately, no disaster, of serious nature, has TO be
lamented there Further particulars of the ter
rife earthquake at Vallona have reached the Os-
serUators Daimato twas proceeded by violent
detonations, to which succeeded series of inter

about quarter of an hour. The waters OF the

fell in the town itself The town of Beratti,

This return includes fifteen months TO wit ::
from July |, 1916, to 30th September, 1916.
THE report from the State Department for this
year, gives 3l5, 1893, as the total number Of pas
sengers arriving in the United States but Of these
30023 citizens Of the Atlantic States proceed

ton Of lO6,S79 is made from the balance, for that

Within the last ten years there has probably
been very little immigration Of foreigners into
the United States over the Canada frontier the
disposition to take the route by Quebec having
yielded to the increased facilities for direct pas
senger transportation to the cities of the Union ;
what there has been may, perhaps, be consid-
cred as equaled by the number Of foreigners
passing into Canada, after landing at New
York, many having been drawn thither by the
opportunities of employment afforded by the
public works Of the province. AS the heaviest
portion Of this great influx Of immigration took
place in the latter half Of the decade il will prob.
ably be fair 10 estimate the natural increase dur
/ ing the term, at ~ per cent, being about one
third Of that OF the white population of the conn
/ try at its commencement. This will swell the
aggregate to l,739l93. Deducting this Access
sion to the population from the whole amount
Of the increase of white Inhabitants before given
that increase is shown to be 3,6S4,5l9, and the
rate per cent is reduced TO 1898.
The density Of population is branch of the
subject which naturally first attracts the atten.
ton Of the inquirer. The following table has

At the lo,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per ans.una,

This paperis made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUcH r. PEASANTS, Principal Editor.
It is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremtting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.

MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, N collecting Portraits TOR National Gal

work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenaDce.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior TO those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % schcs, made
expressly for this purpose.
