HE CABlNET OR0AN PRONOuNcES JAMES b.
CHANAN AN OLD D0TARD.-The Washington Union
of Tuesday last in leading article on James
Buchanan's deposition" in the case of Gibbs vs.
Fremont, labors, like puzzled pettifogger, to
discredit the witness-the democratic nominee for
the secession. If we take the argument of the
Cabinet organ as conclusive in the matter, it set
ties the point by Cabinet authority, that James
Buchanan is loquacious old dotard, whose testi-
mony under oath is good for nothing-the old
dotard being as ignorant of the Importance Of an
oath as of the facts Of history. The Washington
Union says:--"It is evident that Mr.. Buchanan,
in 1852, lin declaring Fremont the Conqueror of
California;, labored under the same misappre-
hension as TO the conquest of California which
prevailed throughout the country"
:" 1t is evident" is il? How evident? The
conquest OF California took place in 1916, from
which time to the end Of the Mexican war, aud
for year after, James Buchanan was Secretary
Of Slate at Washington, very good position, one
would think, for securing the official and anthem
tic facts Of the doings Of Fremont in California.
Mr.. Buchanan's opinion is given six years after
The conquest in issue. During this interval the
history official and unoficial-of all the Mill
tafy operations in California of Colonel Fremont
and all others engaged in the war, were published
in all sorts of forms, by government and upon
private speculation; and during this interval,
too, the claims OF Colonel Fremont for the fulfil
Inent Of debts incurred in the public service, were
fully canvassed by Mr.. Buchanan, as our Secre-
tary Of State. With all these advantages and
opportunities for correct judgment, James Blu
chanan, in the retirement Of an independent citi-
zen, more than six years after the great event Of
which he speaks, declares under oath aud in writ
ing and without fear or affection" that . in my
opinion he Colonel Fremont) is better entitled
to be called the Conqueror of California than any
other man."
Yet the Washington Union tells us that this
opinion, thus deliberately formed and from the
best possible sources of information, was a " mis-
apprehension that James Buchanan knew no
thing Of what he was swearing to be the truth
and that his testimony is good for nothing. IT.
under all the circumstances recited, such is the
case, the fact is established that James Buchanan
is an old dotard, an imbecile, q miserable CAB
bling old granny, who has lost bis mind and his
memory, and who is, consequently utterly unfit
for the important duties of the Presidency. We
plead that James Buchanan told the truth in his
opinion Of Fremonts pablo services but if our
democratic organs will have it otherwise, and
that Mr.. buchanan is laxative old fool, SO let
ii BE-; and let the superannuated dotard be con-
demncd 10 STAY at home

o. An intelligent writer in the North
American Review supposes that no class OF
immigrants had increased more rapidly IN this
country than the Hebrew. In 1850, man
might count upon his fingers all the Syna-
gogues in the land; now there are at least a
quarter of million Of Jews, from eightyssto
ninety Synagogues, a multitude of smaller
communities where a nucleus exists which
will soon grow into Synagogue. The city
of New York alone has twenty Synagogues
and thirty Thousand Jews-about one-twen-
teth Of the population being such. There are
Synagogues in all the chief cities of the sea-
board-two in Boston, five in Philadelphia,
five in Baltimore three in New Orleans, two
in Charleston and four in Cincinnati. They
are the most unexceptional class of foreigners
among US. They allay themselves with no
parties or cliques-meddle no further in poll
tics than every good citizen ought;-are indus
trious and thifty, and bring large amounts of
capital with them, and add more to the acquir-
ed capital of the country by economy and in
dustry than the same number of men of any
other race among US.

THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-The success
in cultivating this new cane seems to be every
where very fattering, and gives us strong
reason to hope that for this important article
of comfort, we may become independent Of the
tropics. Now is the time for the opponents
Of the spread of slavery to take practical
and constitutional step to arrest its extension
by superscedng its labors and taking away its
profits This is more effectual mode than
will be ayes of heated discussion of abstract
principles. Let the North and the free States
give up anti slavery doctrines, and adopt anti
slavery aoorbs Raise your own sugar and you
will free more negroes and circumscribe the
bounds Of "the peculiar institution more
efiectually, than you could by all the Missouri
Compromises and restrictions, that Congress
could pass from now till Doom's day.
The indianapolis Journal says the cane has
been raised this year in Marion county in this
State, by Mr.. Long. He has tried its sugar
furnishing properties, and finds it equal to any
representations made of it. We saw small
bottle of the molasses, and we can attest from
the best evidence-a good long taste-tIat il
lis very much better favored than ordinary
Orleans molasses, resembling the clarified
or golden syrup and even more resembling
a first rate article of "home made.' The stalk
will grow anywhere, apparently where corn
will grow, and though it yields a larger
amount of juice to the stalk in the South, it is
rich enough here to furnish sugar at very much
below the present rates, or indeed any ordi-
nary price, if the experiments already made
may be deemed a test of its value.

SLAVERY IN NIcARAGUA-President Walker
in his imperial pleasure and power has issued
a Decree permitting slavery in Nicaragua
An active slave trade will soon begin with
that country and such parts of the world as
will afford supply. We have entered into
treaties with Europe to inte-dict the slave
trade on the African coast to all tho world;
and we make it Piracy for any ofour citizens
to take negroes from Africa, or to import them
into this country from any part of the world;
but there are no laws against exporting them,
and our Custom Houses give regular clearance
papers for cargoes, or smaller lots OF them
We do not see, therefore, but Virginia may
get up regular export trade of slaves to
Nicaragua, which would all be lawful, and
would be more profitable than her present ex'
ports to Louisiana Gov Wise will be more
earnest than ever for disunion; now that she
is independent of home market, Virgins
may go out of the Union by herself A
Southern paper describes the effect of admit
ting slaves into Nicaragua as follows:
The consequences Of the measure will be 6
large immigration OF southern lariheIS ant
planters with their slaves-the cultivation
anew of once profitable, but now abandoned
coffee estates and cacao charlottesville clean
ing of the thick forests and matted vegetation
which shade the soil and render the climate
unhealthy-the opening ofnew fields, the con
9 struetion of roads, the building of cities anc
towns, and, in short, the general development
of the country. All this will give rise to
thriving and profitable commerce, the benefit
of which will, of course, be reaped by the mer
chants Of the North-a consideration whicl
= will dim the wickedness ofintroducing SLAYER,
I into Nicaragua, and, no doubt reconcile tn
men Of the North to the measure.

RoBB1NG.-The following are the particu-
lars of Robbery in ST. Louis, which we men
toned few days ago. On Friday afternoon
one of the most daring robberies we ever
heard of, occurred at Barnum's Hotel, st.
Louis. Mr.. S. Wilbur, of Madison, Indiana,
had So, $50 in American gold from banking
house on Main street, and placed it in a linen
bag inside an ordinary carpet sack. Having
some business to transact at the clerks Office
at Barnum's Hotel, he placed the carpet sack
beside him on the floor, and in half minute
it was stolen away. A crowd Of persons were
standing by at the time, and gentleman who
saw the thief take it, said he supposed that he
was an employee of the establishment, merely
taking charge of the gentleman's baggage.
Mr.. Wilbur offers reward of $500 for its re,
covery.
