The Eepress Train

Oh, here the words that truly impress,
The pleasure feel when we're off by express7
The Steam King is up, and the whistle is head,
The bell gives the signal, we're off like bird.
Through onnains and valleys. right onward press,
Our fights like the eagess, as fearless and brave;
The fl X tells of safety gaily it waves
The rails are all clear, and the Monarch's ahead;
See forth from his no>tiiis the deep glare OF red.
Hurrah! then hurrah. we are of by express.
Towns, cities and hamlets have passed in review,
Like some diorama OF beautiful hue.
Our journeys accomplished, safe, safe a dart,
Our frame not fat:gued, oppressed is the heart.
With fire and spirit right onward We press,
Hurrah then hurrah. we are safe by express.
What applies to the rails is in commerce the same,
A nd hence g The BUGG'S " greatness, and hence,
1.-THE BUGG'S" fame.
Express is his motto; matters of dress,
n e receives all his fashions and models by express.
All the qualifications - The Bugg " does possess.
To ouislrp all " slow trains thus he wins by express
Expressly his fabrics made for this mart,
Expressly he MIXTURES his cutters Of ait;
Expressly for him the best workmens retained,
Expressly for all such prime clothes he's sustained;
Expressly TO please you, his efforts progress
Expressly in beauty aud cheapness OF dress

JAMES BUCHANAN.

The Norfolk Argus, in publishing the reply OF the
Hen. James Buchanan to the Central Southern Rights
Association of Virginia, which we also lay before our
readers today makes the following remarks:
I'VE have always entertained high respect for
the persona and political character of T Buchanan.
Plain and unosientalious in his habis-band In his
manners and accessible to every one-otce nor hon
ors served to elevate him above the people, but
he is at all times and in all situations the agreeable
accomplished and intelligent gentleman. There is
no politician within the range OF our observation no
has been more sefsacrI6cing in his aspirations thar
he, and all occasions it has been his pride and
pleasure immediate his own prospects for the good
Of the cause and those principles for which he has
been So jealous and disnterested ad vocate. Had
the South listened his counsels and adopted the
programme which he recommended In her hour OF
trial, she would not now be reduced to the dilemma
in which she is involved; and the great disturbing
question which continues to divide the two sections
would have been adjusted upon honorable and equal
terms.
The Richmond Committee, in thei- note to the
Pennsylvania statesman, said truly that they had al
ways found him firm friend 10 all parts of the
aion, and ready to maintain the. rights of each,
against all factions or parties" And Mr.. Buchanan,
En his reply. the correct ground when he de-
cares that the Federal Government only be sus-
sained by rigid adherence t0the Constitution, and
by again returning to the enduring principles of the
patriots of '9S aud 99. This is the true doctrine,
without the recognition of which, there is hope for
the perpetuity of our Institutions. We feel proud
that it has been boldly prOmulged from sucn source
and from such quarter-the very centre as it were
'dt he Union We do not know that shall ever
again engage in the angry and exciting strife of Pres
adant making, but if we do, We pray that Heavens
lightning may blast US, if we support any man for
that high office who refuses to subscribe to such
creed-not in vauge and unmeaning generaities,
such as we have heretofore had proclaimed from Po-
iItlcal Conventions, but plainly and unreservedly,
without mental .equivocation or reservation. We
must have declarations of principle in such form
and such shape that they will be understood.by the

Destructive F2o0d at Neuc Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, April Is, 1851. The recent heavy
rains have swollen the streams and bayous to
immense damageto the plantations in the
try back of the river, and the accounts from many
sections are truly appalling. The Mississippi, also,
continues On the rise, and the crevasses along the
whole up the river increasing. The crevasse
at Point Coupee has become of very dangerous
character. Bayou Sara is completely inundated. The
plantations up the Tensas and Black rivers and
Swan lake are completely overlooked. The river has
now attained the highest point of last year.
We have disastrous accounts also from southern
Alabama. The freshet has proved most destructive
in the low lands along the rivers, and will operate
greatly there we'll here, against the crop of the
present year.
In Point Coupee and Paquemine these overfows
shorten the crop 100000 bales.

ATTEMPTED MURDER ABDUL MEDJID. Some
days ago noticed rumor that an attempt had been
made to poison the Sultan. The Corrier DIES EtatS
Uis has article protesting to give the particulars
The conspiracy was formed by number of fanatic
Ulemas, headed by the Suian's brother. They open
ed the project Abdul Meiids physician, and offered
him million piastres to administer the fatal potion.
He pretended to consent, but demanded written
promise for the payment of the money. Having OBJ
taned this from the too confdng conspiraors, he re-
veaed the whole PLOT to the Sultan, and as the young
Prince refusing credit his statement he produced the
memorandum as proof The further stay of the ply
stefan at Constantinople became impossible. The
same evening Turkish war steamer sailed for Tri-
este, bearing the physician and his wife. whom the
Sultan would not permit to depart without generous
/ ly giving them the same sum which had been prom
lsed for the commission of the crime.
Some days after it noticed that several of the
most noted Uiemas had disappeared and it was sup
that they had been the subjects of of those
mysterious executions in which the Turkish Sultans
formerly exceed. AS for the Sultans brother, one
