nTs- James Buchanan is the President elect of the
United States: and with him we find elected a con-
gressiOna majority, disposed to assist him in carry
ng out the peculiar policy of his administration.
The disunonists, whether of the north or south
have been signally rebuked In the defeat of Mr..
Fremont and the conservative masses of the people
undismayed by anaticism at home or the suspicious
sympathy of all Europe with the quasi republican,
ism in our midst, have just stepped into the arena
in time to justify our confidence in the principle of
self.goyernment. and our faith in the stability Of
American institutions.
Whatever apprehensions we entertained as to our
future. are swept away in the grateful recollec
ton that, for the next -four years, the republic will
be in the executive hands Of one whose patriotism is
undoubted, whose experience is unparalleled and
whose ability as a statesman is unquestoned even
by his bitterest antagonists.
We may expect at this time, from those journals
that have made it business to stigmatise Mr.. Blu
chanan as "hoary-headed libeller," and to apply
to him every other epthet of filthy reproach common
to their select vocabulary variety of mendacious
attempts to deceive the public as to the probable
course of the incoming administration. They smart
too much under the humiliation of a discontinue
that has followed rapidly upon the heels OF their
boasts of certain victory, either to view sagaciousy
the current of common events, or to reason reputa-
bly, in regard to the views and purposes OF their con-
querors. They find it easier to abuse than to argue
to fasify than to apologize; and having attributed
the result to everything but the right cause l. e. the
popular reVuisi0h produced ny solemn conteihP'b
ton of their rlbaldry and incendarism they con-
sstently carry out the great game of mischief in
which they are engaged by predicting the very
troubles they are seeking to inaugurate.
We must expect on the part of these defeated
malcontents the exhibition of every possible species
of ingenuity in the manufacture of absurd rumors
preposterous conclusions, silly appointments ant
doctrines in regard to Mr. Buchanan and whoever
may seem likely to become his constitutional adys
ers.
! All this we must expect from such sources an

THE PLANET JUprER.--Jnpiter is now the
evening star, and will continue SO until April
II, 1851. Jupiter is the largest of all the
planets, and, next to Venus, the most brilliant.
1t is one thousand three hundred times larger
than the earth, is about four hundred and
ninety five million eight hundred thousand
miles distant from the sun, and is accompanied
by four moons which help it to its light. 1t
is twelve years in revolving around the sun,
and turns about on it's axis once in ten hours
which gives it a velocity at its equator of four
thousand six hundred and fifty eight miles in
a minute, or speed of two thousand times
greater than that of cannon ball. Its axis
being nearly perpendicular to the plane of its
orbit, the sun is almost always in the plane Of
its equator.

EC-The betting on Kentucky, on the Presidential
election, 1t is stated has been very heavy. The Gin
cinnati Commercial says that II knows Of many in
stances of bets Of extraordinary magnitude. Lands
negroes, cash, everything that is property in Ken.
lucky, has been staked throughout the State. Hun.
dreds of men are doubtless ruined, and thousands
sorely impoverished, the State having gone Demo
cratic. When will men be done with this foolish
practice of betting on elections?
The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1856-11-22

yet venture to predict that the OF
Mr. Buchanan will be one Of continued peace and
prosperity-onc In which our foreign relations will
be maintained on the most amicabe footing and
our domestic ones disposed of In spirit of justice,
cordially and genial patriotism. In short, we pre-.
dict that the administration of Mr.. Buchanan will
prove both brilliant and sound and that under his
executive care the happiness of the people Of these
states will he as complete as our nature will admit

~ We regret to state says the Bayou
Sara Ledger, of the 18th inst, that on Tues
day last Mr.. VIM. B. Turnbull, was drowned
by the upsetting of a pleasure BOAT in the riv'
er near his Island plantation Mr.. T. was
native, we believe, of this Parish, and the son
OF Daniel Turnbull, Esq, He was young
man of great iberality and hospitality, and
the news of his death will be regretted by oil

sides an aged father and mother, to mourn bis

Know Nothing Charges Falsified.

and orators has been, that the great majority
of the foreigners at the North were abolition
lists. How strenuous were their efforts to Gre
ate prejudice against our adopted citizens IN
the South, by assuming that this unfounded
charge was true. How constant were their
aims to make it appear that there were alum
dant proof to make good their charge With
what contempt have they regarded this class
of our fellow-citizens, let the columns OF their
public press and the speeches Of their orators
attest.
What is the truth as disclosed by the result
of the elections in the Northern States. We
will take Massachusetts and sec If that State
snstains the charge. All must admit that Bos-
ton is the place where the greatest number OF
naturalized voters reside How stands the
vote in that city? Mr.. Buchanan received q
larger vote there than in any other part Of the
State. Tn the rural districts the vote for FREE
mont was Overwhelming. Will the Know No
things contend that this proves their charge,
or will they have the candor to admit that it
proves the contrary.
Again, in the city Of New York, Mr.. Bn.
chanan received greater number Of votes
than Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Fremont united
Does not every one know that the largest mum
Der Of voters Of foreign birth, anywhere to be
found in the Union, is in New York. Yet

styled the pro Slavery candidate, received
more votes than both the others combined

doctrines Of the Black Republicans as the best

much stronger than many Of their Southern
Know Nothing contemporaries, the proof is ov
erwhelming to the contrary, and most trium

The truth is, their greatest crime in the es

Sheriff of Ell Dorado county, California. has
presented to the Hon. LEWIS CAss a magnif-

choice wood resembling rosewood, from the

large and finely polished piece of quartz

several Compartments, specimens of gold dust
from the dry diggins. The whole affair is a
magnificent and costly gift; and while it does
credit to the donor, we feel assured that it will
be duly appreciated ty the recipient
