His figure is slight; his head not large; his
face habitually pale his eye remarkably mild;
and his figure, although trife above the
common height, is little thinner than the
average" +.

rlJ"A Washington Correspondent writ.


ing under date Of November 18th, says:
The opinion has gained ground that Mr..
Buchanan will be invited, by General Pierce,
TO resume his former post Of Secretary of
State, and that he will accept it. The ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Buchanan will be, it is be-
eved, especially agreeable to Pennsylvania
and Virginia, and not unacceptable TO any
part Of the country. -...
A rumor prevails that Mr.. r. J. Walker
may be called back to the Treasury. 1t is
said that he will accept it with alacrity, for
the reason that he is DESTROYS of perfecting
his grcat works-thc Tariff Of 1886 and the
independent Treasury Act. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Walker wished to modify the latter,
in order to render it more practicable and
even less burdensomc, than it may become
under some circumstances.
But Mr.. Walker was quite tired Of the Ia
bors and anxictics of Office when he left it in
IS19, and then he declared his purpose to
rive his sole attention, hereafter, to his private
affairs.
General Pierce is about to come Southwark
according to late rumors lie will not pro-
baby arrange his Cabinet before February.
1t has been usual for Presidents elect to con-
slider and advise upon the subject Of the Cabi.
net until February.

RED REPUBLICAHIsM.-The National Dem.
ocrat, and organ Of the Democracy of New
York, holds the following language in it,
issue Of the 18th inst
"Thc veins Of the royal lines must be bled
until blood runs like rivers through the king.
doms-, Robespiere once exclaimed, ALAS,
there is no hope for my unhappy country
until the last drop is empticd from the veins
of the noJiGty.' The same truth applies to
nearly all Europe at the present day.
"Those who are afraid of shedding blood
may fold their arms, and content themselves
to sec the people crushed forever under the
wheels Of tyranny. The machinery of civili-
cation is so entirely physical brute force is
so completely the European power-that the
only hope Of emancipation is in the doctrine
Of Robcspcrrc-o Jiood, blood. There is no
other hope. Ireland was sacrificed by O'Conell
upon the altar Of 'moral suasion.' All Europe
is now grooming in bondage, and will groan
until every man Of the masses is fired with
thirst for revenge. The kind of moral sua-
sion which shines on the point Of u bayonct,
and speaks from the mouth of cannon, is
the only thing that will redeem Europe"
