.That seoundrei, washingtonr'

II has been reserved to this late day-to
Black member of the BLACK Republican"
party-to the City Of Boston, and to the
propagators of civil war to apply this cpl
thet to the immortal Washington. One of
the most distinguished citizens Of Boston
lately presided at meeting, says the Staten
Islander, in Faneuil Hall, and listened
tamely to re-iteratons of this epithet from
the lips of a black phlanthropist, merely
remarking to "thc gentleman" that allow
ance should be made for the antecedents and
education of Washington, and something for
the times in which he lived!!
Our fellow citizens will scarcely credit it,
that language such as this was not only
permitted, but applauded in old Faneuil
HALL And it would be entirely unworthy
of attention if it had not been coun tenanced
by political party which not only assails US
by open war, but is at this moment organic
ing its efforts to obtain the control of the
government. Shame for America that any
native of her soil, black or white can live
upon it and utter calumny upon Washing
ton-much less that political party can
hope for success after countenancing such
language os has lately found shelter and
applause under the caves Of old Faneuil
Hall.

What His NeIghbOrs Say OF Him.

1t is no matter of trifing consideration
and importance that those who know man
best should eulogize him most. More espe-
cially is praise to be valued when it is ex-
torted from political opponent. The Lam
easter (Pa.) Express, Know Nothing ere
publican paper, published in the immediate
neighborhood of Mr.. Buchanan's residence,
is compelled to bear testimony to his unbcn-
ding integrity and blameless life. After q
few Introductory remarks, the editor pro-
ceeds and says
1--WE knew the man as one of our most res
pected fellow citizens-a gentleman of un-
blemished personal integrity and unusually
agreeable manners in his social intercourse
with all classes. We knew him as a friend
of the poor, as perpetual benefactor of the
poor widows of this city, who, when the
piercing blasts of each successive winter,
brought shrieks of cold and hunger and
want in the frail tenements of poverty,
could apply to the buchanan relief Doua-
ton" for their annual supply of wood, and
sitting down with their orphaned children in
the cheerful warmth offs blazing fire, lift
their hearts in silent gratitude to God, and
teach their little ones to bless the name of
James Buchanan. AS q citizen, neighbor,
a friend-in word, as simply James Bu-
chanan, we yielded to no man in the meas
ure OF our respect and esteem; and were he
still before us as simply James Buchanan
as he was few years ago, and when he and
we occupied the same broad Jetfersonian
Platform-when at least one of the editors
of this paper voted with him the same
Democratic ticket-then ourS would be the
more pleasing duty of supporting instead of
opposing the election of our esteemed fellow
citizen and neighbor to the highest Office in
the gift of the American people, and the
highest position Of political distinction in
the world.'
