MR. BUcHANAN's SPoTLEss LIFE.-One (

MR. BUcHANAN's SPoTLEss LIFE-One of our exchanges contains the following para graph, which is both truthful and just:
 "Of all the distinguished men which this country has given birth to, there is not one whose private reputation is more pure and un- sullied than that of James Buchanan, the de- mocratic candidate for the Presidency. For forty years his name has been conspicuously before the American people, and during that long period of time, and amid the calumnies islanders, deprecations, malisnity of fierce party strife, never has word been uttered or a sus. piclon whispered against the lofty purity and high social virtues of James Buchanan"

As this gentleman has been advertised to ad dress Fremont meeting in Lancaster, Penn we make room for the following, which we fl. in late number of the Middletown (COnr) Argus:

A Word tO the SOufh.

Extract from a letter of Hon. B. F. Halett. of Boston, Massachusets-to Col. N. B. Bur- row
 "The battle with sectionalism must be fought in the true States of the North, but the South has high constitutional duty to perform. To divide its vote between Buchanan and Fill more, would weaken itself and strengthen its enemies. There is no power in the whole South, if it could unite on Mir. Fillmore, to elect him. By union with the North on MT. Buch- anan, the deSaat of the abolition candidate may be regarded as certainty. Hence, the nation al action of southern whigs in sustaining Mr. Buchanan, though personally they prefer Mr. Fillmore is as patriotic for the whole Union as it is fr seeing for the conservation of the rights of the South.
 "The geographical discrimnatons feared by Washington, dreaded by Jefferson and de- precated by Jackson, are upon us. The battle of States has begun by the array of all that is sectional in the North, in the coalition of all shades and colors of abolitionism and Know Nottingham, agsressively against the South. There must be victory for the democratic par ty in this contest, or there must be submission or separation for the South. The only hope for union of equal States is in the union of fhe whole South with the democrats and na- tional whigs of the North in the support of MT. Buchanan, the only candidate who can be cho- sen by electoral votes both North and South. That makes the nationality of the democratic party, and that constitutes the only bond of brotherhood that can hold the Union together, and uphold State rights, as it has done under eleven democratic administrations, chosen by a united vote of northern and southern States If we are faithful to this principle now, it will be effective, as it always has been. in taking care that the republic shall receive no detri. mept from sectiOD1Hsmo

 Dear Richard-I have but just returned home after an absence of some four months, and find to my address several communications inviting me to mass meetings, to address the people. The meetings with but two excep- tons had passed by before my return, which must be my apology to friends, for seemingly to have neglected their favors. As my friends manifest desire that should make a short canvass you will please advertise me to speak at the following times and places: am by pro- mise to address mass meeting at Lake Provi- dence, La, on the 18th inst; on the 2Oth at Napoleon; on the Fist and 22d at the mass meeting in Arkansas county; on the 23d at Brownsville, Prairie county with Col.

The habit, custom, or art of embalming tile bodies
of the dead was one of the first and most notable of
all the old Egyptian practices References in the
Scriptures induce if they do not fully authorize the
belief that even then the remains of friends were so
preserved. Pettigrew who in 1884, published at
London a long account of Egyptian mummies, has
endeavored to give some account Of the method by
which it was accomplished, so that those who saw
the sun when Thebes was as great and as gay capt.
tai as Paris now is, have all their features preserved
and, when unwound from the eerements that wrap
them, have look of torpid humanity. Not long ago
one Of these antedeluvian mementos was carried
through our country as show.
The old secret for wrestling with decay and keep
ing the particles Of earhshel together has died
out, but in our own city new inventor has sprung
%up-Mr. Casanave-who claims to have discovered
means by which decay can be prevented. The method
IS by Injecting the veins and arteries with some pecu
liar preparation that he has found out. We saw yes
terday at his establishment No. 81 Maras street. the
body Of q gentleman who died on the 9th of April,
as shown by certificate of DR., Cenas and it was as
fresh and clean as though but day old. The method
OF Mr. Casanave is the same as that of DR.. Holmes
OF New York city, and has been highly commended
there. We have before us small pamphlet contain
ing the certificates and recommendations of physi-
clans and undertakers and stating that bodies thus
embalmed will keep free from decomposition in any
place or climate, Those whose friends or relatives
have died here, and who wish to transport their
bodies for burial elsewhere can do so with ease by
the nstrumentaty of this process and those bodies
which, having been embalmed in this manner, are
deposited in the vaults of our city cemeteries will
almost outlast their tomhs, No living creature can
prey upon themnot a fly, without paying the penal
ty Of death for dsregardng its awful sacredness.

The great event of the season--one which has con-
sumed considerable ink and many quires Of paper
one that has drawn largely on the public for some
weeks pastcame off yesterday. From the great
experience sagacity and keenness of the opposing
parties, we confidently relied something approach
ing a contest worthy the plains of Chalmette Or
the field Of Waterloo. We are grieyed to be COM
PEELED to admit great disappointment. We are
at loss to reconcile the bodness and ercencss Of
the besieged with the very weak defense they made
against the assaults of the besiegers In fine, it was
no,battle at all. We were congratulatng ourselves
ut an early hour yesterday on the great and mastery
achievement we would have to chronicle this morn
ing, whether by the outs or the ms it was matter
Of only momentary consideration 80 long as the great
object at stake should be carried out and completed.
We cared but little which of the rival parties should
have the honor Of completing the Hercuean task Of
opening the road to Jackson, Mississippi We really
and conscentousy believe that both parties have the
general welfare and prosperity Of the city at heart
and have, with much griefand sorrow, witnessed the
acrmony and ilfeeing which have arisen within
the last two years, relative to this great under
taking We trust now all asperites will cease, and
that every who takes interest in the prosperity
of New Orleans will lend helping hand towards
the desired object We consider the Board of Direct
ors of the New Orleans, jackson and Great Northern
Railroad, which was elected yesterday, as under an
implied obligation to have the road completed to
jackson by the first of July, 1857 and, considering
them as almost personally responsible, we give the
result Of the election as held yesterday. 1t will be
seen they are all good and true men--all old and val
ued residents and we trust they enter on their d-
ties withfull knowledge of the responsibilities they
assume, and with full determination to carry out
the mandates Of the stockholders, the desires and
wishes Of the community. ~"
