CONGRESS-.

Want of space compels us to omit our
regular notice of the proceedings of Con-
gress. On the 10Th the President commu-
nicated two messages, assigning his reasons
for vetoing bills for the improvement OF the
mouth of the Mississippi, and the flats OF
the St. Clair river. The President, in re-
turning these bills. says he regards them
as part of general system of internal I'M
provement, and he refers to his message OF
1854, vetoing the river and harbor BILL for
his views on the subject. The works pro-
posed, he regards as the convenience and
local prosperity of those more Immediately
concerned-an object not to be Constitu-
tionally and Justly attained by the taxation
of the people of the whole country. The
measures were artfully contrived, and have
been passed on the eve of the Cincinnati
Convention, in the hope that they would
diminish the Presidents popularity. But
he has had the nerve and the frmness to
stand by the Constitution and by his prin-
ciples, without regard to consequences.
On the 21st, in the Senate, Mr.. Sumner,
of Massachusetts,, delivered an infam Gus
abolition speech, which Gen. Cass pro-
nounced the most anti American speech, in
every particular, that he ever heard. Sen
ators Douglas and Mason accused him as
being unfit for the association of gentle
men, and entirely destitute of truth. Mr..
Sumner replied in strain of the most Sc
we're vulgarity.
The House passed bill appropriating
one million and forty-eight thousand of
acres of land, in Wisconsin, for the con-
struction of railroads in that State-and
also bill granting one million Of acres to
Alabama, for a similar purpose. On the
22d, the death of the Hon. John G.. Miller,
a member of the III. of R. from Missouri,
was announced in both houses, and both
adjourned in respect to his memory.
On the 23d, in the House, Mr.. Campbell,
of Ohio, introduced resolution appointing
a committee of five to investigate the sub
iect of the assault on Senator Sumner, by
Mr.. Brooks, with power to send for per-
sons and papers.-And in the Senate, ON
motion of Mr.. Seward, similar resolution
was adopted. A message from the Presi-
dent was received, assigning his reasons for
Withholding his sanction from bill for i'm
proving the ST. Mary's River, in Michigan.

BRITISH INrERFERENcE.

Charles Whitney, of New York, has filed
at the State Department, at Washington,
an affidavit of Captain Tinglepaugh. of the
steamer Orizaba. setting forth the interfer-
ence of Captain Carleton, of the British
frigate Eurydice, at San Juan del Norse,
on the last trip, who forbade all passengers
having tickets for Nicaragua from leaving
the ship. Evidence, it is said, is also pre-
sented that the British force forbade the
American passengers who came down the
river from communicating vith the shore at
San Juan, and that the British boats exer-
cised close surveillance over all Ameri-
cans while there.

The Cincinnati Convention.

IL cannot be contended, remarks the Louisville
Journal, that the Cincinnati Convention was fair
representation of the Democratic party of the coun-
try, There were at least one hundred poetmasters
in attendance, and nearly one thousand oficehold-
ers of various grades were present, either as dele
gates upon the floor or composing very consde-
rable portion Of the outside pressure These
oficeholders We're not there to represent the peo-
pie, but to save their own bacon. They don't care
what becomes>of the people nor Of the Union nor
the country so that they are allowed to feed at the
public crib 1t was thus the rights of the South
were battered away for the hope of Northern Free
soil support 1t was thus that platform was adopt
ed that is intended to cheat both sections of the
country. was thus that James Buchanan, Zone
Of the same sort" lifelong ofice-seeker, was Sc
lected as the candidate for the Presidency But
the oficeholders and ofice-seekers, in their blind
thirst for the public plumber, have exposed their
hands the people win see the fraud and win dis
own it. They may be willing TO make sacrifices for
their country, they may consent to yield much for
party success, but they win never agree to become
parties TO such grand swindle for the mere pur.
pose Of gratifying the Unsuitable gluttony Of the
great army of ofice-seekers who congregated ut
Cincinnati and nominated James Buchanan.

than thirty years, he has devoted his talents and

on which rest the continually increasing prosperity
and glory Of the country"
The point we make is not, that Mr.. Buchan-
an was unpatriotic in his denunciation Of the
war Of 1912, (for thousands of patriotic Fede-
ralists did the same thing,) but the point is,
that he soas an old fashioned Federalist, and
only abandoned his Federal notions when they
had become unpopular.
And we have furnished the proof that in
1928 he continued to be Federalist, and moo
we ask the Union TO sustain its statement in
the last paragraph above quoted, If it can do
it, and show. that Mr.. Buchanan "had the
magnanimity soon after the speech, Oath Of
July, 1912 was made, to acknowledge the
error Of the sentiments it contained, and to re-
tract them" Mr.. Buchanan says this same
thing In his letter to Mr. George w. jones'
the Union reiterates it from Mr.. Buchanan

GES. JACKSON ON Mr. BucHAsAN.--We find in
the Washington correspondence Of the New York
Evening Post an anecdote, which proves that Gen.
eral Jackson, who was pretty good judge Of hui
man nature, fully understood and appreciated Mr.
Buchanan's character as political trimmer. The
writer says the truth of the following can be proved
by unquestionsbe evidence
On the night before leaving Nashville to oc-
cupy the White House, Mr.. Polk, In company
with General Robert Armstrong, called at the Her
mitage to procure some advice from the old hero
as to the selection of his cabinet. jackson
strongly urged the President elect to give no place
IN it to Buchanan, as he could not be relied upon
IL 80 happened that Polk had already determined
to make that very appointment having probably
offered the situation to the statesman of Pennsyl
vania.n
This fact induced General Armstrong subse-
quently to tell jackson that be had given Polk
rather hard rub, Buchanan bad already been
selected for Secretary OF State. can't help IT.
said the old man; I felt It my duty to warn him
against Mr. Buchanan, whether il was agreeable
or not Mr. Polk will find Buchanan an unreliable
nit the correctness OF my prediction"
IL was the last visit ever made by Mr.. Polk TO
tho old hero when this unavailing remonstrance
was delivered, but the new President, long before
the end Of his administration, had reason TO nc
knowledge it's propriety and justice; and in the
diary kept by him during that period, may still be
read most emphatic declaration of his distrust Of
Mr.. Buchanan.

The Republican NOMINATION.

The sol disant Republicans assemble in
Philadelphia nextweek to nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency The
New York Tribune, the leading organ of that
party having openly pronounced in favor OF
Colonel Fremont, we presume that gentleman
will receive the Presidential nomination and
that Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts,, or Mr.. Hale.
of New Hampshire will be nominated for the
Vice Presidency. The recent withdrawal Of
Mr.. Hamlin from the Democratic party NAV.
however, induce the convention to tender to
that gentleman the Vice Presidential nomina-
ton, provided he shall be regarded as suffi-
GENTLY ultra to receive its appreciation. In
point Of character and Legislative experience.
he is infinitely the superior Of any man vet
named by the Republicans" either for the
Presidency or Vice Presidency, Judge Mclean
alone excepted.
Were Gov. Seward inclined to stand the
hazard of defeat, he might undoubtedly Sc
cure the Presidential nomination at Philadel-
phia. But Gov. Seward has no stomach for
defeats. He had far rather thrust one of his
friends into the field to bear the brunt If
the battle, when the result promises to be ad
verse, than to encounter the risk of defeat in
his own person. He religiously believes that
ne owes his first duty to himself, and infinitely
prefers that some otherman should be sacrificed
for the good of the country" He "Fkes not
such grinning honors as Sir Topaz hath he
shuns political death as carefully as the yilest
sinner shuns "the shutting off this mortal
coil J" for he knows too well that there would
be no resurrection to him fro j the grave which
would receive him on the 4th of November.
With his usual shrewdness he tells his friends
that Fremont and Banks "will fill pit IA

unforeseen good fortune, be elected, that FIRE.

experience, would be the most pli-
ant Of puppets in his hands, and, although
the President, that he, William a.

Ii, therefore, Fremont should be selected "A

'roaching Presidential election, he will be Sc

PIERRE SOULE.

Another BrOadside from south Carolina.
The Columbia Times, a leading Democratic Jour
nal, thus comments upon the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan:
The selection Of Buchanan is Reputation of
Mr. Pierces administration. Mr. Pierce had made
some atonement to the South for his utilization
with and official patronage Of Northern Free-soi-
ers, by his late annual message to Congress, in
which he clearly set forth and ably vindcated the
constitutional rights Of our section. That very
message, however, utterly destroyed his available
ity, and proved the very means, in the hands of
his Northern opponents and truculent Southern
politicians, of defeating his nomination We care
nothing now about the motives which prompted
him to write such message; we predicted that it
would lose, and now know that it has lost him the
nomination. He has been pcintedly reproved,
censured, condemned for writing it--for express
ing merely in cheap words his views touching the
rights of the South. Another has been selected
in his stead, who dares not utter even If he enter
cause he has never expressed such sentiments
selected for the very purpose Of repudiating the
annual message Of Mr.. Pierce.
To sum up. The more conservative of the rights
of the South, Mr.. Pierce has shown himself-and
he has by no means been as conservative as we
would have him to be--the less acceptable he
has become to the Northern Free-soil Democracy
The consequence has been his rejection at Cincin-
natl. We conclude that the nomination os Mr.
Buchanan should not be acceptable to the South,
because it is virtually Reputation of the little re-
gard which Mr.. Pierce has shown to the rights and
interests of the South.
Not only should the nomination be rejected at
the South because of its acceptabilty to Northern
Free.soilism, but it should be rejected for other
cogent reasons. Mr.. Buchanan, though an able
statesman, who would no doubt manage the for
cign relations Of the Federal Government with skill
and success, yet entertsins such views upon var
Gus questions affecting our internal relations, as
should render him extremely obnoxious to the
South, and especially to South Carolina He is not
sound on the paramount question of the times
the slavery question He is high protective tariff
advocate. For these weighty reasons he ought
not, in our view, to receive the support Of the
