at is IA fact of undoubted Authenticity, says
the Richmond Examiner that Mr.. Buchanan has
expressed a desire TO have the benefit Of Cover
nor Wise's counsel. and has offered him any sta
ton within his gift, but the Governor has declin
ed the tender thus made"
If the above be reliable information. we think
it fortunate for the country that Governor Wise
inthis instance, has manifested more good sense
in declining Buchanan's kind offer, than we had
supposed he possessed. We should dislike to
see utraists of any kind placed in cabinet coun

They have seen him remove and destroy the
ancient landmarks of compromise, that was
10 bind the north and south in union forever.
They have heard him, in his official history
of slavery, deplore its defeat, and triumph at
its success over freedom and justice.
They have seen him appoint none but those
Who are favorable TO the extension of catholi-
cism and slavery, to Office in the government.
They have heard him officially SANDER and
condemn the north and her institutions, and
cxtol the south and slavery, as the pride and
glory Of the nation.
They have heard him officially threaten 10
overcome and suppress the people of free
territory, unless they would yield TO the IN
con stitutional demands Of the slave power
They have seen him use the military power
to overaYe the people, in the free exercise o.
their civil and political rights.
They have heard him sanction laws, that iof-
bid the privilege of speech, and OF the press,
against slavery, under The penaliy OF I'VE years
imprisonment at hard labor
They have seen him attempting to control
the elections of the northern states, Dy SEND
ing out slaveholding speakers, TO lecture the
people on the benefits of slavery extension.
They have seen him use unconstitutional
and dishonorable means, 10 extend the area
and powers of slavery over the American
people.
They have heard him offer over one hundred
millions of dollars to have Cuba annexed to the
Union, for the purpose of Strengthening and
extending the empire Of slavery sad cathoH-
cisin. over the American continent.
Then, after witnessing such acts as these by
by the Executive, can it be denied that the
President is now peryerting the Republic, from
freedom TO slavery, and from Democratic to
an Aristocratic form Of government. Area
dy has it gone forth from one Of the members
Of the Cabinet, that this government viii be-
come limited Monarchy. But the people
are patiently waiting the elective franchise, to
hurl from power the imbecile incumbent, the
American Napoleon, that would make them
the subjects Of tyrants crown. c.

Carr. JAMES OAKEs.--It will be seen by the
following letter, that this gallant and undsupt.
ed officer, with scouting party of o. S. sol-
diers under his command, had an encounter
near Fort Mason, Texas, on the 22d February
last, with party of Cananche Indians, which
he completely routed and their head chieftain
was slain. at last accounts Capt. Oakes was
in close pursuit Two of his men were Sc
verely injured.
Capt. Oakes is brave oftcer-an accom-
nlished eeutlernau-and one of the best discip-
lined Young men that ever graduated fromWcst
Point. Young in years-with soul full Of
energy and ambition, he has won q name and.
fame, that older officers in the service might
envy. Raised TO q high position in the Army,
unexpected TO him, he has fulfilled the mis-
sion of his duties TO the entire satisfaction Of
the Government.
How proudly can ali point to his noble
achievements-snd how. much more proudly Is
it TO know he Is PennsyIyanisn--a son of the
Hon. Samuel OaEes, Of Montonr county
What father would not be proud of such SOM
How often we think of Captain oakes. Far
away from friends and home-aInid the rude
and savage wilds Of far distant eountry-has
his lot been cast. May he live to return to the
bosom Of his own loved fre-side home-the
home Of his parental household. Milton Dem.

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN WASHINGTON CITT.-
Mr.. Herbert, a member OF Congress from Cal
ifornia, on the 18th inst, shot a waiter at vii
lard's hotel. 1t appears that Herbert came in
to the dining room at half past II o'clock,
with friend, and demanded breakfast, but as
it was past the usual hour, was refused unless
he procured an order from the Office. Upon
this he directed the walters to retire, and call
ed them harsh names. The deceased made re-
ply, when Herbert struck him with his fist or a
napkin. The deceased picked up a tray or a
plate to throw; Herbert threw chair at him,
and plate was thrown back. Here a brother
of the walters entered, and he and several
otter servants pitched into Herbert. In the
course of this squabble, Mr.. II. fired pistol
which resulted in the death of the servant

THE ERIE RIor.-In our last issue we an
nounced that the Erie Consultation printing Of
fee was destroyed by mob on Friday week
Since then we have received the details from
both sides, and we give the following from
the Gazette as perhaps the most dispassionate
account of it that has appeared in Erie. The
Gazette vainly depricates all violence and mr.
ges the citizens TO submit to the law. We
quote:
Several of our immediate contemporaries
having proceeded rs in relating the circum-
stances connected with last Fridays proceed
ings, we shall devote but little space to the
subject. 1t appears that about four o'clock
in the afternoon ofthat day, Mr.. John r. Coch
ran Of the firm of Cochran & Beatty, stepped
into the office ofa paper called the CcastitH-
tion. in quest of Mr. E. NJ. Mann, with whom
he wished to transact some business. Imme-
diately upon entering he was struck about the
head by John W. Walker, eldest son ofJohn
Ii. Walker. Notprostrated by the blow, three
others, Mr.Cochran represents) named Joseph
R. Ferguson, David B. McCreary and J ohm c.
McCrcary, came to Walkers assistance, and
together succeeded in bruising his face badly
he resisting as he best could. The fact of
such an attack, dishonorabie in its nature and
totally uncalled for, spread through town like
wildfre, and created general indignation. y
/ large crowd soon assembled in front Of WrIghts
/ exchange, and after an address from Mr.. Coch-
ran detailing the facts Of the assault upon him
and denouncing the outrages which had been
| committed against the city and citizens by the
/ Railroad onoPolists--proceeded to the office
! Of the aforesaid paper and destroyed it with
! everything connected with it. Completing
| the work of demolition, they passed to the
/ dwellings of several citizens who have render
cd themselves obnoxious by their course on
! the Railroad question, and attacked them,
breaking windows, blinds, doors, etc. The
whole scene was Of the most fearful and de-
| pIorablc character-a fearful evidence of the
irritated condition OF the public mind conse-
quent upon the triumph in the Legislature.
over Erie, of foreign corporations.

y DREADFUL RIOT occurred at Panama on
the 18th ult. 1t seems that a passenger of the
steamer Illinois, in state of inebriety, ap-
preached fruit stand of native, took up a
melon, cut into it and threw it on the ground.
The man refused to pay the woman for it-a
dime Ieing demanded. She called man
an alteration ensued-the native drew knife,
the passenger pistol, and a riot took place
The natives attacked all the passengers, who
took refuge in the hotels and railroad build
ings, whittier they were pursued by the mob,
several of them killed and wounded, and the
women and children rudely handled. II is
said that the police, instead of endeavoring to
suppress the riot, assisted the natives in their
disorderly proceedings.

The EMPIRE or COMMERCE THAT IS TO BE-
Mr. Soule has been entertaining the citizens of
New Orleans with speech, urging them to
send money and arms to the aid of Walker
men he had plenty at his command. Accord
ing to Mr.. Soule, Walkers chief obstacle is the
'seyil spirit in the North'' but in spite of op
position, in few weeks Walker would ssweep
the Costa Ricans like dust from the face Of the
earth;'' that with suitable material aid he would
certainly succeed. All he needed wasS $3.50, 600;
that so soon as the present struggles should
end in Walkers favor, Honduras and San Sal
vador would join with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, and the four States would form confed-
eration-but not as component part of the
American Union-which would in time, under
American energy and industry. become the
seat of empire of the commerce ofthe world.
