A BUCHANAN NosEGAY.-How do the
foreign citizens fancy this beautiful little
nosegay culIed from an address delivered by
Hon. James Buchanan, OH the Ith of July
1876
ave ought to use every exertion to turn
out of power those weak and wicked men
whose wild and visionary theories have been
tested and found wanting. Above all, we ought
to drive from our shores foreign influence,
and cherish American feeling. Foreign in
fluence has been in every age the curse
of Republics-its jaundiced eye sees every
body N false colors-the thick atmosphere OF
prejudice by which it is surrounded, excluding
from its sight the light of reason. Let us
then learn wisdom from experience, and for
ever Danish this fend from our society"
In order that there may be no misunder.
standing as to the real oder Of the above
we Gull from the vase another sweet scented
boquet:
"The greater part of those foreigners who
would be thus affected by it, have long been
the warmest friends of the Democratic par
ty. They had been one of the great means
of elevnting the present ruling party, and it
wonld have been ungrateful for that party
to have abandoned them. To secure this
foreign feeling has been the labor of their
leaders for more than twenty years, and
well have they been payed for their trouble,
tor it has been one of the principal causes of
introducing and continuing them in power.
Immediately before the war, this foreign in
hucnce had completely imbodied itself with
the majority, particularly at the West, and
its voice was heard so loud at the seat of
Government that President Madison was
obliged either to yield to lis dictates, or re.
tire from Office The choice was easily
made by man who preferred his private in
terest to the public good, and he there
fore hurried us into war utterly unprepared."

Our City Councils had under consideration
last night the following business:
The Aldermen passed Council bill in favor
of T. Blundon; bill in favor of the late trus-
| tees of the poor, and bill in relation to the
guaging of spirituous liquors. - -.
They also had under Consideration and dis
cussed at some length Council bill in relation
to clerk, collection and disbursement of Cor
poration finances, which was fnally laid over.
In the Council, Mr.. Orme presented the ac-
counts of E. K. Lundy; which was referred.

asked that the committee be discharged from
the further consideration Of the subject, and
that 1t be referred to the ward commissioners

Mr. Barron offered, q resolution, which
passed, in favor of DR.. Isaac S. Lauk.
Mr. English, Of the committee of WAYS and
means, reported an ordinance levying the tag
on real and personal property for the current
year, and providing for the collection of the
same This bill imposes tax Of 20 cents on
the Sl0O for general purposes, and 10 cents on
the 500 for the benefit of the railroad; passed
Accompanying this bill was an elaborate

posed tax the additional five cents which the
charter allows, which will, if the conclusions

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Intsliigener's editorial column is to
day devoted to . synopsis of the proceeding
in Congress, yesterday.
The Union quotes recently published let
tiers from Mr.. Champion to Lord Clarendon
TO prove that the former has as grossly mis-
represented alleged conversations with Mr.
Cas- and Mr.. Marcy, as with Mr.. Clayton,
according to the positive declaration of the
latter.
The Sentinel, declaring that Virginia has
chosen a majority of Buchanan men delegates
TO the Cincinnati Convention, goes into costa
sizes therest, of course. Having watched the
action Of the different district conventions in
Virginia we feel perfectly certain that ma
jority, firm, fixed, and effective, of anti-Buch-
anan men have been chosen. That is to say,
Of gentlemen who prefer either the President
Senator Douglas, or Senator Hunter, to Mr.
Buchanan, ss the next Democratic Presiden-
tial candidate. We have seen three or four
claimed for Mr.. Buchanan whom We know
personally by no means favor his nomination;
and We have heard of quite as many more
~AoAA-Su W oc AOi Aui. u, WIN VIC dIe Iolu ny
gentlemen Of their several districts who know
their inter-party affiliations and preferences
as well as We know those of our nsighbor of
the Sentinel, that those who are writing them
down as being in favor of Mr.. Buchanan 8
nomination are egregiously misleading all who
place confidence in their miscalculations rela-
tive to Virginia. The truth is, settled effort
is being made to get up q sort Of unfounded
prestige for Buchanan, SO a, to bring over the
uncommitted to his support for the nomina-
tion, which will in the end damage his cause
far more than it can benefit it.
Thus, it is being insisted in this city that the
Norfolk district convention passed resolution
In favor Of Mr. Buchanan's nomination. 1t
turns out, however, that that resolution was
one for which any advocate for the nomina-
ton Of any other distinguished gentleman in
preference to him could eheerfully and prop
erly vote Ii is as follows:
On motion of Mr. A F. Leonard, of Norfolk
city, il was unanimously
Resotved, That we hail the result Of the re-
cent signal election in Philadelphia as a hsr-
biDger of the success Of the national Democ-
racy In the coming Presidential election 1t
manifests the approval of his own people of
that true and tried servant, James Buchanan;
and We regard it as the final extinction of
Know nottingham in the place of its birth.
Those relying on such obstruction" as
this resolution embraces are childish.
