Mr. Buchanan--Important Official Informa-

The Washington Union says that "the pub
lie has already been appriscd of the fact
that Mr.. Buchanan is to continue in the dis
charge ofhis important duties as Minister at
the Court of st. James, for a time extending
beyond the period when his return to the Unit
cd States has been anticipated both by his
friends and himself" Now, for fear that some
of the green ones Of the democracy should sup
pose that Mr. Buchanan is detained to nego-
tiate important treaties of some sort, we under
take to say that nothing Of the kind is project
ed for him or expected Of him by the admins
tration. On the contrary, he will take plea
sure trip to Italy.
Mr. Buchanan had arranged to come home
in October; and we understand that in view of
this arrangement some of his baggage has al
ready arrived at this port Whether the sixth
of October is or is not the s.extended timer re-
ferred to by the organ, we cannot say; but we
presume that he may have made up his mind
to stay at least till the meeting of Congress,
so as to allow the President the opportunity of
consulting the leading democrats Of both
houses in respect to the successor to the Court
of st. James. Gen. Dix. Governor Reeder,
Governor Cobb, Mr.. Dallas, Colonel Greene Of
the Boston Post and many others, have
been spoken Of for this mission and several
of the gentlemen we have named have very
strong claims upon Mr.. Pierce for something
OF the kind, to say nothing of Cushing and
Marcy. The postponement, therefore, by Mr..
Buchanan of his return home, is an act Of mag
nanimity TO the administration of q very high
order; for it is well understood that since the
publication OF the Cuban manifesto from
AiX-la-Chapelle, Mr. Buchanan has found ID ex-
tremely difficult to disguise or repress his dis
gust of Marcy and his good Man Friday
Mr.. Pierce.
In another view, Mr.. Buchanan may be act
ing wisely Nothing OF any account can be
done for the succession short of q month or
two after the meeting Of our next Congress
In the interval the democratic aspirant. who
is on the other side Of the Atlantic is at least
out of harms way from the wranslings and
explosions going on among our democratic
politicians at home. We accordingly approve
the wisdom of Mr.. Buchanan in conserving to
remain in Europe little longer. To be per-
fectiy safe from the traps and pitfalls of Mar
cy, Gushing and JEFF Davis he should not re-
turn Til about the fret of April next. Com
ing in then, he will be untrammelied and free
to take bis own course in the reconstruction
Of parties and programmes for the succession
at all events, il win he folly for any democrat
to open The ball ter - in advance Of scme
