The Game of the Picnic.

For the information Of our Juvenile read
ers, as well as for children Of larger growth,
who may desire to avail themselves Of the
enjoyment Of tho game, when hard pushed
with dullness in the social circle, we are
about to describe the highly exciting
and moderately gymnastic game " of the
Picnic, as we find it explained in tho Illus
tratcd London Nows Of December. That
paper says it is paraphrasc of the Ameri-
cam romp, called the 4" Family Coach" q
piece of information for which We are not a
whit the wiser, never having heard Of such
q coach being set up in our family, and, in
deed, in any other, on this side Of the water.
In order to play II successfully, the narrator
or promptcr must be appointed from the
company, and this post should be occupied
either by some ono too able or too digni6ed
to join the picnic, or some beautiful young
lady, with pleasant voice who must be
provided with copy OF tho Union and
Journal, or some other paper explaining the
picnic, from which, after having been pro-
vidcd with an appropriate seat, and the
company joining the picnic arc seated, he
or she, as the case may be, must read US fol-

BUCHANAN's NORTHERN AND
SOUTHERN FACE

That this piddling, 6llibustering old gen.
tleman has two faces, ono for the North
and another for the Soutl--no sane ;oan
can doubt who will only open his eyes long
enough to see the facts as they actually ex-
ist. In the South he is supported as the
special and annointcd champion Of South
ern rights and interests-as even more
Southern 10 bis principles and feelings than
Southern men themselvcs-while at the
North his election Is urged upon the al
most sole ground of his NEVER having done
or said anything which his most malignant
enemies could eonsfruo even into remote
wish on his part TO be instrumental IN up
hoi4:ne the institutions Of the South. And
ret the spurious, humbugging democracy
Of both sections profess to stand upon ex-
aclly the same platform, and to act IN con-
cert upon all public questions. Ihat the
ignorant and -unsephisticated should be de-
coiyea by an assertion so bold and reck-
| less is not to be wondered at; but that IT.
telligeut, reading men should be imposed
upou By it also, is matter of surprise tc
us. We lay their misfortune to the blind
ness Of party idolairy and zeal. L can b
attributed to nothing else.

MORE 0UTRAGES BY FOREIGN
ERS.

The foreigners seem to he acluatel by
the most deadly hatred towards native born
citizens who choose to designate themselves,
politically a 'sAiaer;eans.' In their des-
peraie ulalignity they have resogted TO nur-
dering Americans in open DAY light. Fol-
lowing close upon the recent bloody batch

children were shot down ia tie streets for

dcpera;e AMI bIoods deed, il which two
Americans are said toi,ave been killed, and
two others m6rially wounded, was paIpstrat-
ed al political gathering at Henryyillc,

Z blooathirsty Irish Papist, for simply as

Oatrages Of this kind are constantly being
perpetraic3-and it IS not 20 be wondered
at that the sons Of tie soil should hand to-
gether for self protection against the ruf-
Gaqism Of these insolent and belligerent
Foreigners. Il a distinctive Amencan pat-
ty has grown up in the land, the necessity
for it has been created BY the Foreign
Lordes themselves, who, not satisfied With
organizing and voting as distinctive for
eign party, seek every occasion to create
disturbances at political meetings and at the
election polls, and slaughter American
born citizens for exercising the rights for
which ticil fathers sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.

member Of Congress from the State Of

citizens Of his State to sustain the Demo-

instating Of the Hards aud the degraiion q
the Softs, appear 10 have come out OF the

quote from the Post:
In an examination of the political char
acter of Mr.. Buchanan which We made some
months since, and in which we showed the
superiority Of his chnnpes for nomination,
we alluded to the character of his associates
and coufaacrates. No public man Of our
day is surrounded BY 50 pseaisate set q
followers aud admirers. lie = the centre
Of a circle of unprincipied and restless aa-
yenturers, whom men Of higher degree q
self respect avoid. There is something
