ANGRY WORDS BETWEEN LORD CLARENDON
AND Mr. BUcHANAN.-The report, by the Cana
da, from the London Morning Adratiser, that
"in an interview which Lord Clarendon and
Mr.. Buchanan had together at the Foreign Of
flee, angry words passed between them on the
Central American question" had sensible
effect upon the operators of Wall street yes
terday. The bulls thought it might be a speck
of war, and the bears looked wise and mystic
rious. But for this little disturbing rumor. the
progress Of the peace movement with Russia
would. perhaps, have carried our stocks up
with another rush similar to that which follow
ed the first news of the acceptance Of Austria's
overtures by the Gar as basis Of negotia.
TONS We suspect, however, that these alleged
"aDgry words between Mr.. Buchanan and
Lord Clarendon will turn out to be mere moon

to personal excitement and hard swearing
over grave matter Of official egotiation; and
from all that we have learned of Lord Claren-
don, Through General Webb and Others, he Is

"a MODEL MAN" AND "A MIGHTY THINKER"
In the National american, of Richmond, Va,
of Saturday last, there appears an address OF
several columns from {" Committee Of Ameri-
cans" of that city, to the Americans of the
Union" in favor of the nomination Of John
Minor Bolts as the American candidate for the
Presidency. From this tOploftical exposition
of the eminent public services, virtues and
superior talents of Mr.. Bolts, we clip the fol-
lowing paragraph

Creeks need have involved quarrel between
the United States and Georgia; and one cannot
help ascriblng large share of the RESPONSE
bility for the feud to the hot temper Of Gov.
Troup. While it lasted, the dispute was warm.
Arms were distributed in Georgia, and the old
forts strengthened; people talked Of war conf
IDENTIFY. President Adams was well fitted to
act as damper to Governor Troup's zeal:
the controversy was settled.
In 1882, q collision between the general gov
eminent and the people again appeared to
be the inc vitable consequences Of the tariffs
of ls24,-'2s and -. They drove South
Carolina to the verge Of rebellion, by per-
sisting with stolid obstinacy, that the proper
Office of the government of the United States
was not to tax the whole people thereof for
the benefit OF the Northern factories. This
time the belief that disruption of the Union
was at hand was almost universal. Yet 1t
blew over without shot being fired or a man
hurt. The compromise tariff allayed the storm
at the very last moment
Another anticipated collision was to take
place in consequence Of Captain Tyler's inter-
ference in the Dorr quarrel in Rhode Island.
But II blew over like the others.
The moral Of these episodes in our history is
that the strong conservative sense OF the people
Of this country will always be potent enough to
control any local tendency to Instruction or
civil war. A free press serves as o safety valve
for the spleen Of politicians; for the rest, our
people have too much at stake-too much TO
gain by peace, TO lose by war, to suffer their
tranquility to be disturbed by triacs. So il has
always been; 50 1t will be with Kansas,
