The result of the subscription paper in this
city, which was started for the purpose offur-
nishing Thanksgiving dinners to the poor, was
the supplying of sixty or seventy families
with turkies, chickens, and other luxuries
1t was got up by the business men on Main

ate their own dinners with consciousness of
making many hearts grateful, and receiving

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN's MARRIAGE-O 5jeo-
ton to the Banms.-The Washington CORES.
pendent OF the Baltimore Patriot communi.
Gates the following gossip respecting the Pres
ldent elect. We give but little credence to the
rumor of Mr.. Buehauans marriage with Mrs.
Polk, though, far as he Is concerned. the
alliance would be equally suspicious to his
domestic happiness and his political fame 1t
is well understood that the late President
Polk, who was an interchangeable writer, left a
diary OF his administration, containing some
very querulous observations on the conduct
OF MIR. Buchanan, then his Secretary of State.
This record it was the ambition of his lie to
have published after his death. On this, he
desired the reputation of himself and his ad-
mlnistration TO rest, and no doubt he left in
structions for its publication
Mrs. Folks marriage to Mr.. Buchanan,
therefore, in such a case, might involve con-
tilct of duties. AS the widow of Mr.. Polk,
she must feel bound to publish, as the wife of
MI buchanan, to suppress these damaging
revelations. Altogether, the question is a
complicated one, and demands the next Pres
ident's most deliberate consideration. Sixty
five years OF preparation ought not to result in
mis- step. But here is the Baltimore Potrt-
OTIS story -
The gossip concerning Mr.. BuchBnan's
alliance with the widow of deceased Presi.
dent, the accomplished Mrs. Polk, grows
stronger and stronger, and actually begins to
partake OF probability. In lady circles it was
limited that his equally accomplished niece is
opposed to the union, and wants to preside
over the White House herself and do all the
honors thereof. She acted in that capacity
for him whilst in London and of course thinks
herself equal to it here; she is right. If the
alliance does take place, it will be the first in
stance IN American history of President elect
marrying '-Nea0 York Eoeaiag Post, Moo

For the Syy.

Worcester, Dec. LIST, 1856
Mr.. EDITOR IT. X. E. in his communication
of this morning in your paper, asks me not to ar.
ray mems antecedants in justification of their
shortcomings, not to array their virtues to pail
ate their injustice, and asks of me to come out
in manly defence, and state things as they are
Now, sir, did not array antecedents or virtues to
pdlliate shortcomings or injustice, for no short
comings or injustice has been shown. l merely
brought to the minds of your readers who the
men were that had been so grossly attacked and
traduced and gave their antecedents andpresent
position in society, and am willing to place them,
for comparison by the side Of the most virtuous
of their traGucers.
Let T. X. E., himself learn =" that truth is the
best amor" and let him remember it while writ
ing communications for publication, and not tell
of things " akin to truth y instead of the truth
itself. His statements were as near " akin to
truth p" as the answer Of the schooboy who an
swered Yes " to question, and informed
by his teacher that he came next to being right,
as the correct answer was No"
Our "Sancho Panza" friend (or he now denies
being the don Quixote' who attacked what was
supposed to be stalwort wrongs and now finds
his lance broken in the wind mill encounter) is
not fair to shove the responsibility of those mis-
tatementsi upon the worthy woman, who ac-
cOmpanied him to the Aims House, did he not
see the inmates Of the house And has he not
disSernment enough to tell Americans from for
eignersi Is he so ignorant of our state policy as
not to know that we have had no foreign pau
pers for about three years Should he not be
more careful in bringing grave and serious charges
against worthy men Who without compensation,
expend their time for the benefit of the city, not
to make statement of things that existed sever
al years ago, as existing now Or in short were
either his ears or eyes open on that memorable
morning, or were they both closed, and his nos
trils fully extended to receive the morning effu-
via arising from the poor unfortunate creature
''whose entire apparel must be changed three
times daily :"
The matron of this establishment is the same
who has had the charge for several years past
and no complaint has before been made. The
| charge Of uncleanness comes with full force
against her, for the city Government could not be
expected to attend personally to this matter, all
| they could do, would be to remove those having
the establishment in charge. If the charges Of
your correspondent are true it should Immediately
| be done, but they not true, and more faithful,
competent and neat persons cannot be obtain
! ed.
But enough of this, the time will shortly come,
| if it has not already arrived, when from the per"
| sistant, repeated and outrageous attacks upon
| cur city Government however constituted, no
citizen of competency, or responsibility can be
found to accept Of its important trusts, VS..
