SANTA ANNA.

Tho renowned Gen. Santa Anna, who
come time since fed from Mexico, to save
his head, hasitaken up his residence it ap-
nears. at Turbaco, in New Grenada shcrt
distance from Carthagena. A correspon-
dent of the New Orleans Picayune, speaks
of q recent visit to the residence OF Santa
Anna, as follows;
"A two hours charming ride led US to
Turbaco to visit the man, who, at one tlme'
oxercised so considerable an influence over
the affairs of Mexico. His house is large
strong. stone building, in the old Spanish
stvle of Architecture, with colonnade'
lage court and garden. Its appearance Is
very beautiful and forms striking con-
trast with the humble cottages inhabited by
the wretohed population among whom San
ia Anna resides.
1--WE were introduced into large parlor,
running through the whole front OF the
bouse. whilst the General was being ap-
nr;zed of our arrival The walls of this ap-
partment was papcred in elegant French
style, and decorated with some tine engr@-
wings. The parlor has two doors fronting
on the street, and two others leading to
ward smiling with verdure. Around the
room may be seen two or three SOFAS a doz-
en- of mahogany chairs, with side table ana
lounges; in the middle is marble centre
table, with exquisitely wrought flower vases
The ensemble of this furniture has an ap-
pearance of calm simplicity, and breathes
perfume of tropical comforts which strikes
and pleases ct the same time.
1.-THE ex-Dctator appeared almost I'M
mediatelv. | had known him ten years ago
at Havana, and expected to see him, OF
course, much altered but if he is, it is de-
cidedly to his advantage. He has all the ap-
pearance of q man in his prime, and is about
five feet ten or eleven inches high. His
body is straight, robust, and rather corpu-
lently inclined. HIS eyes borrow from their
shaggy brows an aspect of coneavity which
causes them to change color with the vary
ing hues of light. His complexion is OF an
olive brown; his face is shorp of whiskers
and moustaches, and is indented by no cor
rugation, except, perhaps, some slight wrin-
kle near the angle of his eye. His hair is
of beautiful iron grey, but / understand
that he is in the habit of dyeing it.
He entered the parlor slowly, walking
with some embarrassment, and slightly
limping, resting upon cane. His dress
was extremely simple, being that ola South
ern farmer, viz: broad linen pantaloons and
an ample white sack-coat- The only at
tractive object which he wore was mag
nifcent diamond breastpin."

EVEN THE N. Y. TRIBUNE scoRNs
THE ISLANDER.

Mr.. Buchanan is charged with having
said ''if he had drop of Democratic blood
in his veins he would let it out" The
charge has been often made and often au-
thoritatvely denied. The New York Tri-
bune has the manliness to say of this absurd
but malicious calumny:
1--WE do not think any one who knew Mr..
+, ever credited this tale. He was never
so simple or impetuous as to use such an
expression. There is not man living more
unlikely to make rash, silly speeches than
he is ia
So the Tribune not only discredits the
tale, but it broadly ihtimates that those who
are circulating it know it to be pure fabri
cation. And the allegation that Mr.. Buch-
anan has said that ten cents day was en-
ough for a mechanic or laboring man, is
equally destitute of truth. No person who
is willing to admit that Mr.. Buchanan has
particle of common sense, would for a
moment believe him capable of making any
such declaration. We call for proof in both
cases.

Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN.
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster,
June l6, 1856,


June l6, 1856,
GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt Of your oommunica-
ton of the 18th instant, informing me Off
cially of my nomination by the Democratic
National Convention, recently held at Gin
cinnati, as the Democratic candidate for
the office of President of the United States.
shall not attempt to express the grateful
feelings which entertain towards my Dem
ocratic fellow citizens for having deemed
me worthy of this-thc highest political
honor on earth-an honor such as the peo-
pie of no other country has the power to be-
stow. Deeply sensible of the vast and va
ried responsibility attached to the station,
especially Mt the present crisis in our af-
fairs, have carefully refrained from seek
ing the nomination, either by word or by
deed. Now that it has been offered by the
Democratic party, l accept it with diff
dcnce in NY own abilities, but with an
humble trust, that in the event of my cleo
ton, l may be enabled to discharge my du-
~ in such a manner as to allay domestic
strife, preserve peace and friendship with
foreign nations, and promote the best in
terests of the Republic.
In accepting the nomination, I need
scarcely say that accept in the same spirit
the resolutions constituting the platform of
principles erected by the Convention. To
this platform intend to confne myself
throughout the canvass, believing that |
have no right, as the candidate of the Dem
ocratic party, by answering interrogatories.
to present new and different issues before
the people.
And in the first place, cordially concur
in the sentiments expressed by the Conven-
tion on the subject of civil and religious
liberty. No party founded on religious or
political intolerance toward one class of
American citizens, whether born in our own
or in foreign land, can long continue to
exist in this country. We are all equal be-
fore God and the Constitution; and the dark
spirit of despotism and bigotry which would
create od;ous distinctions among our fellow
citizens, will be speedily rebukcd by free
and enlightened public opinion.
The agitation on the question of domestic
slavery has too long distracted and divided
the people of this Union, and alieuated their
affections froIl each other. This agitation
has assumed many forms since its COM
menoement, but it now seems to be directed
chiefly to the Territories; and judging from
its present character, l think We may safe
ly anticipate that it is rapidly approaching
. ''hnality." The recent Legislation of

THE BROOKS AND SUMNER
AFFAIR

| Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, al
though political Kncw-Nothing. talks
sensibly about the Brooks and Sumner af-
fair. He says:
1T is amusing in this latitude to see how
! much is made IF a personal rencounter. by
the Abolition press and the Black Repub-
| lican party of the North. 1t is a great po-
litical issue, to be sure, that is to stir up a
whole people. Suppose Sumner had given
Brooks a thrashing with gutta percha
! cane, for words spoken in debate. does any
one suppose the South would have given it
second thought. They would only have
told Brooks to try it again, and if he could
not do better, to do as we'll as he could
Sumner, however, is u martyr. He was
knocked down with a small hollow cane,
that broke to pieces, and killed, almost
He has been laid up, and regular bulletins
as to the state of his health have been issu-
ed, to make the most of the occurrence
ANY number of lies have been told on the
subject. Sumner was Rocked down and
beaten, we have been told; but he was not
struck at all after he was down. Sumner
was non resistant in the affair, was another
version; but he did resist to the best of his
abilities; but the resistance was not very
successful. 1t is not certain that Sumner
is seriously hurt, nor is it all probable
The weapon was not sufficient to do any
great damage; but it is convenient to be
very i'll. Sympathy does some good when
all else fails.
well, let all that choose feel sad about
matters; but this effort to magnify per-
sonal assault, upon the highest provocation
deliberately given, into q matter of great
national gravity, is simply ridiculous; and
it will be so regarded by the rest of man
kind generally. Sumner used free, licen-
tious tongue, and met a free cane-that
was all. Why didn't he fight better! If
he had us ID his fist as well as his tongue,
he would have come out much better. He
is big enough and ugly enough. If he had
given no personal provocation, the case
would have been different; but he gave an
unwarrentable insult, and might have ex-
pected just such resentment as he met"

one hundred and eighty of the most notori-
Gus murderers, thieves and black legs-all
of whom will be required to quit the coun-
