For the True Democrat. The Exhibition at the Convent.

The annual commencement at St. Mary's Academy in this city, took place on the evening ofthe 8th inst. The exercises commenced about 71a o'clock, in the spacious school room of the Academy, which was thronged by very nu- merous and respectable audience The young ladies acquitted themselves in manner highly creditabe to their own talents as well as to the abilities of the teachers. The dialogues in French and Italian were recited with admirable ease and elegance--but the music was the sweetest charm of the evenings entertainment. Now, 1t was the soft, gentle melody of the little children heard in "The Young Folks at Home"-then The Favorte. Polka" execut- ed with much taste by the Misses Reider and then delicious duette sweetly sung with guitar accompaniment by the Misses Carroll, of Con- way county. Miss Taffe, of Sevier, with little Beny Smyth of our city, and Annie Carroll of Pine Bluff, gave us a treat in the lovely song of Lily Dale"-while Misses Dardenne and Grltfiths entwined our hearts affections with musical Wreath of Roses"-Miss raane and Miss Georgie Carroll executed some brilliant pieces on the piano, which showed more of the finished performer than of the pupil

MT. Buchanan on the Slavery Question in

1S4Js
 In 1845, during the debate on the admission of Texas, Mir. Buchanan uttered the following sentiments:
 In reviewing the humble part which have taken Tn public affairs, during a period not now short, there IS nothing which can review with more leasure than the course have pursued on the subject of slavery. When I first came into the Senate, I found the abolition excite. ment much more violent than it is at present The mails were then loaded with pictorial re- presentations calculated to arouse the passions of the slave and excite him to vengeance. The danger of servile instruction was imminent Those engagedin the agitation believed they were doing God service. Honest fanatciSm, m the history of our race, has done as much evll and shed much blood as any other cause. The agitation threatened the existence of the onloh. It could not be supposed that fathers and mothers, who went to bed trembling at night least their mansions might be involved in flames before the morning, and all the horrors oi servlle instruction might be their fate, would long cling toa Union with a people which encouraged such enormities. Self-prescrva hon is the first law of nature, and above all other laws.
 Surrounded by these circumstances, took my stand on this question, from which never since departed UNDER THE CONSTITU- TON THE SOUTHERN STATES HAVE RIGHTS GUARANTEED TO THEM, AND THESE RIGHTS l DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN, COME VEAL, COME WOE. DETERMINED TukT I WOULD NEVER RISK THE BLESSINGS OF THIS GLORI- GUS CONBEDERACY, WITH ALL THE BENEFITSITH HOLDSOUT NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES, BUT TO THE WHOLE HU- MAN RACE, FOR THE SAKE OF AN UN- AVAlLING PHILANTHROPY. THE CON- STITUTIONALR RIGHTS OF THE SOUTH, UNDER OUR CONSTITUTIONAL COM PACT, ARE AS MUCH ENTITLED TO PROTECTION AS STHOSEOFANY OTHER PORTION OF THE UNION.
 ( stand by the constitution as it is; and, so far as know, a large majority of my constitu- ents have approved my course.''
 01- The Pennsylvanian, in alludirg to the nomination of Col. Fremont, says:
 Perhaps no man of his age has a more un- fortunate record than Col. Fremont. He was court nartialed and dismissed from the army for lnsubordinatlon--his financial transactions with the government funds will probably be found to be not at all times of the most credita- be character-he failed as a politicians; and after serving short time in the Senate, was su- perceded as soon as he became fairly known by the people of Californa-and altogether, though he may be very fast, very romantic, and very enterprslng young man, he will find that,no buffalo engineering will take him within haiing distance of the White House that obstacles high and insurmountable as his famous pass, will rise before him-and that his political Rams Horn Route' will lead him into difficulties as inextricable as those by which he was surrounded when he deserted his companions in the snow at Taos
