Mr.. Buchanan on the Pacific Railroad

Mr.. Buchanan on the Pacific railroad cues

being in honor of the visit of President Pierce
to that city, on his northern tour 1t embraces
all that has ever appeared in print concerning
Mr. Buchanan's views on the subject, and
therefore it may fairly be taken as his "plat.
form" on the Pacific railroad question. 1t is
as follows:

ODDITIES OF GREAT MEN.-The greatest men
are often affected bysthe most trivial circumstances
which have no apparent connection with the ef-
fects they produce. An old gentleman, of whom
we know something, felt secure against the cramp
when he placed his shoes on goiog to bed. so that
the right shoe was on the left of the left shoe, and
the toe of the right next TO the heel of the left. If
he did not bring tbs right shoe around in hat way
he was liable to the cramp. DR.. johnson used al
ways. in going to Bolt Court, to put one foot on
each stone Of the pavement if he failed ire felt
certain that the day would be unlucky. Button,
the celebrated naturalist, never wrote but in full
dress. DR.. Routh Of Oxford, studied in full can
onicals. An eminent living writer can never
compose without his slippers on. A celebrated
preacher of the last century could never make a
sermon with his garters on, A great German
scholar writes with his braces off.

A O N FOR THE TIME.
NOT BY BERANoER

For Freedom ah, you ask a song;
We sing no more for Freedom ;
When reckless power usurps the hour,
And smiles to Slavery's hell.hound glover
When clouds Of bondage round us lower,
Leave songs to those who need 'em
For Freedom 2 'Twere a bitter jest
While yet some live who won it,
To sing-when Presidents arrayed
With Senators, make bare the blade,
And gathering all their rufian aid,
At murd'iug Freedom drive a trade
Aye, drive, and thrive upon it,
For Freedom No, for Slavery sing,
No other songs are paying
Who speaks for Freedom gets n blow
Some slave-bred rufian smites him low
With bullet, stick, or knife-No! No!
To sing for Freedom brings but wo.
While Slavery's trumpet's braying.
For Freedom ? Pooh, forget the name!
What though your father priced it2
What though at Lexington they gave
lHelr UlOOu ike rain !-lo nOuSe 'ho oihNV
They built the Republic up so bravel
For Slavery's hume aid Freedoms grave,
Our patriot sires devised it.
FOR Freedom2 Strike it to the the death
Struck near to death already
On, Douglas with your rufRian crew;
On, Atchisun with cohorts true
On. Pierce with your basc cheer haloof
Freedom is slain, if only you
Stand firm, smite sure and steady.
For Freedom 2 Ha! the cheering sight
From Kansas see her driver 4;
She fights, she %faints, she falls lat will
See Slavery smite her-stark and still
She lies. And ROW on Bunker Hill,

Simulated us to increase our efforts to make this

all the difficulties and oppositions that could well
be brought against any enterprise by a class of
spectators opposed to it, and it now has more
and stronger recommendations than ever. We
have spared no pains nor expense in making am.
pie arrangements for all who may wish to avail
themselves Of the advantages arising from this
manner of grading and selling woods. Merchants,
