JAMES BUoHANAN, Ese.-The nomination
, of Mr.. Buchanan, as Minister Plemipotentiary
to the Court Of St James (says the Pennsyl-
vanian,) has been received by the press and
the public with great satisfaction. Should be
agree TO accept the American people viii have
reason TO be proud, that at the first Court in
the old world, they are 10 be represented by
one Of the ripest and certainly one o. the
greatest intelleets Of the new world Mr..
Buchanan will go 70 Europe with no desire to
tistter aud iawn upon monarchs and MOBILES.
Himself one of the most accomplished gen.
men living, and one of the first statesmen Of
the age, he will be able to present to the
British Court a character for integrity and for
experience that will render it unnecessary, as
it should always be, 10 cater to the vanity Of
the arrogance of the English rulers. We
have had too much Of obsequious adulation Of
foreign potentates by our representatives at
foreign courts. Not at we require, in the
person of these agents of the government rude
manners, indiscreet anger, or offensive inter
ference in the affairs of other powers. There
Is a wise and Just medium between the two
extremes of praise and presumption which
the true gentleman need not be troubled TO
find. Mr.. Buchanan knows the feeling Of the
American people on this subject as well, if
not better than any other of our public men.
He will, LEI us hope, as indeed We believe, he
will not tickle the selfpride of England by
idle boasts about the Anglo Saxons, by vapid
compliments to British powers and prosperity,
and by useless commentator of England, as
the mother of the fair shoot of liberty on This
soil. Silent dignity were better, on the part
of our American Ministers, than such flippant
rhetoric as ths--the staple of such apes Of
aristocracy as Lawrence, or such antiquated
politicians as our present respectable but re
Progressive representative at St. James. Mr..
Buchanan will insult his countrymen by no
such displays as these. He will sustain his
high reputation as a patriotic and high-toned
American by refusing to PROSTATE himself and
his mission at the footstool Of any dynasty, no
matter how great or powerful Richmond

TRADE OF THE AMAZON AND La Plata
RlyERs.--The Union furnishes the following
interesting information in relation 10 recent
events that will throw open TO the commerce
Of our country an inmense and fertile region
Of South America: O.
The last arrival from South America, brings
lis the gratifying intelligence that Belzu, the
enlightened President of Bolivia, by decree
of January 9th 1858, has thrown open all
the Bolivian tributaries of the Amazon and
La Plata that are navigable TO the commerce
of the world, and offered reward of ten
thousand dollars to the master of the fIst
steamer that shall reach any one OF these
tributaries, either by the La Plata or the
Amazon.
Lieut.. Gibbon, who was sent out about two
years ago with Lieut. Ilerndon, United States
Navy, to explore the Amazon from its sources
to its mouth, has just arrived. We have had
the pleasure of conyersing with him upon the
subject of this most interesting expedition.
lie past through the Bolivian provinces which
are thus trown open to the commerce Of all
nations, and describes that whole region as
one of the most beautiful, productive, and
finest countries on the face Of the earth. In
his opinion there are now materials enough
there to give rise to commerce OF several
millions Of dollars year, and that com
merce Of this value would spring up the mo
ment free transit is secured for il up and
down the Amazon, through the territories OF
Brazil Considering the large space which
that region Of country has Of late been made
to occupy in the public mind in this hemis-
sphere, by the publication Of the Inca and
other papers with regard to it, by the recent
exploration Of the American navy, we regard
this action Of the Bolivian Government as a
subject Of congfatulatioD.
From this decree, we think, viii commence
new era for the spanish Republics Of South
America.
The revolution which the free navigation Of
the Amazon and its tributaries, and OF the
La Plata and its tributaries, is to make in the
commerce Of those Republics viii be greater
than that which the commerce Of Europe un,
derwent in consequence Of the passage Of
Vasco de Cana around the Cape Of GOOD
Hope.
Lieut.. Gibbon has, he informs us, list oi
ten thousand abandoned silver mines IN that
country, many Of them upon this watershed
The Silver ore has been taken from the veins
until the miners reached the water, and then
for the want Of the means Of drainage, most
Of these means have been abandoned.
The machinery HERETOFORE used in the dram
aue Of those mines was only such, our reader.
should bear in mind, as could be transported
upon the backs Of mules from the shore across
the Andes. With the Amazon open, 1t may
be taken BY water almost TO the very spot
where it is wanting, and Of course then, with
the ability to procure larger machinery, tins
decree may be expected TO give a new i'm,
pulse TO the working Of the silver mines o.

DIGNrY OF VocATloN.-No impression
prevailing in society, is more false or fatal to
the manhood Of people, than that which
gauges a mans worth or respectfully by the
field Of labor or profession he occupies so
long as that labor or profession is used or hon
est; denying most emphatically, that dishon-
esty is ever useful. The nobility of man in
this country not depending, thank God up
on hereditary honor, title or wealth, should
flow not from the nature of his honest toll,
but from the spirit he carries to that toll, the
spirit by which, with or against the smiles of
temporal fortune, he shapes his career among
and his intercourse with his fellow men, 1t
has ever been our conviction that he is more
Of the true man, who turns chimney-sweeping
to an honest, independent account than he
who scorning the rough tolls of the humble
and needy, is willing to live an nidler-however
proudly caparisoned, upon the eindustry, sweat
and blood of his fellow-men.
Henry Clay-republican in all Its instincts
paid the workingman just and noble COM
pliment, when he said to a mechanic as he
shook his hard hand, and pointed 10 the city
palaces and spires, behold on every side of
you the monuments to your gloryl' What
matters it whether one carry the hod or han
dies the trowel, SO long as each is essential to
the progressive triumphs of human attain
ments in all outward respects We would
not have man descend to inferior conditions
of toll voluntarily, ifhe has the chance and ca
paeity for the superior, but we would have
every man feel that, when necessity commands
there is no useful labor dishonorable. The
Lord Chancellor on his wool sack does not more
conserve, according to his advantages, the wei
fare of mankind, than the mason who hews

THE AGED PASTOR.

He stands in the desk, that grave old man,
With an eye still bright though his cheek is
wan,
And his long white locks are backward rolled
From his noble brow of classic mould,
And his form though bent by the weight of
years,
Somewhat of its primal beauty wears.
lie opened the page of the Sacred Word
Not a whisper, nor low nor loud is heard,
Even folly assumes serious look,
As he readeth the words of the Holly Book
And the thoughtless and gay grow rev'rcnt
-. s.. , there,
As he opens his lips in fervent prayer.
lie stands as the great old prophet stood,
Proclaiming the Truth and the living Cod
Pouring reproof on the ears of men
Whose hearts are at ease in their folly and sin
With challenge of guilt still unforgiven,
To the soul untitled, unmeet for Heaven.
o, who can but honor that good old man,
AS he neareth his three-score years and ten
Who had afade it the work Of his bfe to bless
Our world in its wo, and wickedness
Still guiding the few whichwere wont to stray
In paths Of sin to the narrow way.
With kindly heart, through the lapse of years
He had shared yourjoys, he hath wiped your
ltears
lie had bound the wreath on the brow of the
\ bride,
lie had stood by the couch when loved ones
died.
Pointing the soul to glorious Heaven,
AS the ties which bound it to the earth were
riven,
Methinks yell weep another day,
When the good old man has passed away,
When the last of his ebbing sands have run,
When his labor is DER and his work is done !;
Who'll care for the flock and keep the fold,
When his pulse is still and his heart is cold.
Well miss him then every look and tone
So familiar now, forever gone,
VIII thrill the heart with inward pain,
And ye1l long and listen for them in vain
Whena a stranger form, and stranger face,

RAILROADS In THE SOUTH.


The progress of the railway system in the South
is briefly yet satisfactorily exhibited in the follow
ing article:
Virginia extending its lines from the seaboard to the
Ohio and the Tennessee the hand by the Coying
ton and Ohio Railroad towards Cincinnati Louisville
Chicago and ST. Louis and the other hand by the Vir
gnia and Tennessee Railroad and its connexions towards
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, and the
whole Southwest Already its complete roads measure
SIX hundred miles, and those now in progress six hun
dred miles more.
North Carolina, too, is pressing towards the West
and forming connexions with the great lines of Virginia
by the Roanoke Valley Railroad with those Of South
Carolina by the Central Railroad uniting with the Char
otte and South Carolina Railroad near the State lin
and the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad opens to its
chief port the riches that erstwhe raised Charles
ton to lofty position The completed lines this State
measure two hundred and eighty miles, and those pro-
crossing to some five hundred miles additional.
In South Carolina and Georgia. from Charleston towards
Mobile and New Orleans and towards Nashville and Mem
phis, the lines within this State complete In the
northern part of this State but places are wanting
in railroad accommodations Soon she will scale the Blue
Ridge Georgia has two lines crossing the State and uni
ting with the roads of Tennessee and Alabama and
others in progress the from Savannah Albany
the Flint river and the other from Brunswick Tai
ahassee and several points in the southwest portion of
the State.
The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad in Florida is a grand
conception and will form the highway of commerce
now endangered by the reacherous shoals and rocks Of
her southern point Other railroads will seek her har
bors from Montgomery from Ogethorpe and other points
north of her western territorial extension.

The AsrI-BBIE CoSyESrroS-It is nm instructive
fact that the leaders in the Anti Bible Convention
at Hartford nearly all Of them prominent abolition
lists The resolutions moved and advocated by VIM
Lloyd Garrison, the great gun Of abotonism. Henry
G. Wright Parker Psbury, William Stillman and other
noted aboitonsts were present and assisting What is
the explanation Of this phenomenon Probably this that
they find in the Bible various passages regulating slavery
and prescribing the relative duties of master and slave
just as If it were lawful and might be proper rea-
ton; whereas, according to the abolition creed it is
horrid crime Consequently that creed is unchange
able, and the Bible does tally with it, the Bible of
course must give way.-Jomnal Of Commerce
