British lamentations over Buchanan's
Election.
The British press is just now engaged
in mourning over the success of Mr..
Buchanan. The Times, Gazette, Post and
other plfers howl with as much appa-
rent energy as their associates ON this
side Of the water The Tribune or Herald
does not lament the failure of their sec
tional schemes more bitterly than their
synipatfiisers in the menarchies of Europe
To aid them in performing this melancholy
duty, FIR, m onters in the United States are
writing long articles for the British peri
odicals abusing this government, and
boldly proclaiming disunieTprojects there
which the fear of injuriug their party de-
ters them, from promulgating here.
1t is really amusing to read the edto-
rails of the British press and note their
profound knowledge of the politics and
geography of the United States The
London Gazette contains the following /:
"'lOur anticipations of the result of the
struggle which has lately been decided in
the United States have been fully realized
and Mr.. Buchanan is, as our readers are
aware, nominated President of the great
American republic. 1t was believed up
to the last that the State of Pennsylvania
would have reversed the decision which
the-recent choice of its State officers i'm
piled. In that case the chances of Col
Fremont would have been singularly i'm
proved. But, SO far as we are informed
the State of Pennsylvania-namely, Vir-
giaia, Delaware and New .Jersey-went
for the successful candidate, Maryland and
Kentucky for Fillmore, and the remainder,
1t is presumed, for fremont"
Virginia, Delaware aad Maryland, it
appears, compose the State Of Pcnnsyl-
vania, which having gone for Buchanan,
he is nominated" notwithstanding all the
rest went against him.
If the editor of the Gazette were in the
United States lie would be a. worthy mem-
Der Of the Republican party; which claims
al the intelligence
How Our .career" was Endangered.
We received few days since, through
the post sdsce, sealed package bearing
an Inscription something like the follow

To the editor of the Spirit of Democracy,

After enjoying the beauties of the pen
manship displayed on the outside, we OPEN
ed it, and found huge wood cut of J ohm
G. Fremont on horseback. We looked
closely to. see if the horse had wool OIL,
but fildiag none, We concluded that the
story about Fremont, mounted on woody
horse, hunting humble bees among the
Rocky Mountains, was all hoax, and We
advise all our friends not to believe it,
Ga the back of the picture was the fol-
lowing inimitabla poem:
1.-The man that made you trimble with fear
Eull well you knew if he triumphanth
lie would put an end to your treachous
RIO career Neutral"
Notwithstanding. .Neutral's" assurances
that We well know the fact. we never for
a, a,moment apprehended, that Mr.. Ere
mont contemplated any such murderous de-
sign aglinst our "treaehous career" We
were aware that the gallant Colonel had
yaliantly attacked and conquered an i'm
mense number of Uncle Sans cattle, and
that be most ferocously devoured grass
hoppers, mules, dogs and other ''insects, .
but positively, We did not know that his
destructive propensity was next to be em-
ployed against the career of Democratic
editors.
Mr.. Neutral we consider you very
unfriendly and cold hearted MN not
to warn us earlier of the peril which threat
ened US, that we might have been prepar-
ing for some subsequent world"
