The following article we copy from the Republic of
yesterday. Perhaps i, would be impossible TO
trate within the compass greater number
of gross misrepresentation. MIR. Buchanan has visited
Washington, understand, to attend to his duties

construction OF her WILL and OF the laws bearing on the
So far regards the petence that Mr.. Buchanan

Rves and ourse, we can only say that il is utterly
groundless, and suppose that will be

opinions from being misunderstood The terms OF that
article themselves explained object and nothing but
determined pervesion could them into assault
on MIR. Buchanan anything else. We feel confident
that Mr. Buchanan will fully understand this subject and
regard our explanation altogether superAuous.
We regard and respect him of the high minded
and honorable OF the country, and should feel thai,
we had almost committed the objectionable SIM il we
had treated him with illiberay injustice This art-
Gle is only specimen of the groveliing deacon and
injustice that displayed in all matters in which we are
concerned. Our life has extended nearly half GEN.

We had hoped that the Republic would have set a
better example TO the press of the country than indulge
in these piiu insinuatons and TO assal and charge
every gentleman OF character and position before the
country. who is casually led TO visit Washington with
