OF The Richmond Inquirer suggests that it
would be well for Mr.. Buchanan to proclaim it in
his Inaugural Address that he recognizes no sort
of obligation to the politicians of New York; that
what they get they will receive out of mere favor;
and that their broils and wrangles are never to be
obtruded upon the consultation of the cabinet
If Mr.. Buchanan will adopt this prompt and per-
emptory policy, he will save himself world Of
vexation, and the country an infnity of scandal

wisest of women, that Dan ungovernable beast
should be stinted in its provender." Mr. Buchan-

PARTIZAN PRESCRIPTION.

The Baltimore Republican says that an attempt
is being made BY the know nothing papers of that
city to excite the merchants against it for its re-
cent denunciations of the election riots. The
Republican has at least the comfort of knowing
that their prescription cannot damage it any more
than their folly has efectualy damaged their city,
A similar attempt to muzzle the press was made
against the Democrat in Louisville; but it was OF
no effect; men of all parties are now beginning to
see that the only hope for Louisville consists in
general acknowledgement of shame and manly
reputation of the dsgracelul riots that had nearly
ruined her business. Bad passions may triumph
for an hour, but the sober second thought will al.

KNOW-EOTHINGISM.

This pestilsnt ism (ssys the Jackson Mississippi

land fanaticism-which for a season fourished
there, and which bloomed, but for day, has been
consigned to the tomb with other relics of arbar-
ism and intolerance.
But while it lived it bore fruits to test its beau.
tful nature and to prove how richly it has merited
Its ignominious fate.
What are Its fr1tits::
1t has borne the apple of discord, and thrown it
into the midst of pesceful and happy people.
1t has scattered the poisonous seeds of hatred,
strife and anarchy broadcast.
It has brought forth oppression of citizens be-
cause of their religious faith.
1t has extended tyrannous arms over citizens Of
foreign birth.
1t has bound men politically by secret oaths to
crush out the rights of freemen on account of pc.
itical differences of opinion.
1t has covered with contumely and reproach the
Constitution of the States and the nation.
1t has melted to violence, to incendiarism, &c
murder, for selfish and political ends.
1t has turned the pulpit into political rostrum
the Sabbath into political holiday, and the min
listers of Christ into partizsn orators.
1t has set at nought the wisdom of the fathers
and sought ito ALLEVIATE one portion of the country
from the other" and ito render alien from eacl
other those who ought to be bound together by

1t has put passion in the place of judgment, pre-
judice in the place of reason, railing in the plsct
of argument, and falsehood in the place of truth.

VALLEY HOME, Nov. IS, 1856
MEssRs EDIroRs: Now that the smoke of battle
is ceofed away, and that the rush and shout of the
combatsnts has ceased revealing the true and rela,
tive positions of the different parties that entered
the great battlefield On the 4th inst your humble
correspondent ventures to address you once more
and then leave you to pursue the even tenor OF
your way, hoping that you, SIS an editorial corps,
may be both spiritually and pecsniarily blest.
We were confirmed in the belief that the spirit
of democracy lived and bresthed, and had its being
in our midst but were not exactly prepared for the
tremendous gain sent up from hills and hollows
by the .lion-hearted" aud 'invncible democracy"
We write, Messrs. Editors, if for nothing else,
to claim the banner as respects population-for as
far as we are advised, according to population.
Humphreys is the banner county of the State, hav.
ing given good old Buck 226 majority, bona Jfde
gain over Jobnson's majority in the last August
election. +.
In accordance with our surmises the young gen.
tleman of whom we spoke in our first, did come
out for Buchanan. Now ''honor to whom honor
is DUE" Seeing, with other patriotic and indie
pendent men, H. R. Lucas announced his intention
fully month before the election, that if Pennsyl.
vania and Indiana went for Buck in their State
elections that he would go for him; and in accor-
dance with that intention, the day before the elec
! tion-the only opportunity offered him-he came
out for Buck and Brock, much to the discontinue
of know nothingism. Then to him are we partial
| ly indebted for our large gain. Though know
notbings say now that he did not sway a vote. 1t
| takes some nerve, and man must have the ele-
ments of man within him to cut himself away
| from party ties and prejudice, and vote, as our
young friend did, on the eve of one of the most
exciting contests as well as the most dangerous to
| our Union, had it gone against us.
In our moment of triumph, when the "sun of
Austerlitz" shines fully upon Us, we must not for
get that Spartan band of noble wings who did not
prove recreant to their trust in every part of the
-Union who put their shoulders TO the wheel and
| gave herculean lift which helped US 'on our way
rejoicing" And, Messrs. Editors, we must give
| due honor to many Fillmore men who came over
ndhelped US when they a0ere sure that the only
way to defeat Free negro-mont was to vote with
| the noble "BuChaniers."
| Our watch.fres are still burning brightly, and
next August we will give "a reason for the faith
within US" when we send to the "city of Rocks"
one good snd true democrat to help our noble gov
ernor on to the Senate chamber.
Be sure to let all your readers know that we are
the banner county, Tor 10 truth proud of that
honor. Now, Messers. Editors par cuni vobis.
With respect, your humble correspondent.
