reserve just now No where has the party
which nominated Mr.. Fillmore left more de-
plorable traces than hereabouts. Neither To-
cally nor in the nation has it been such, we
mean enthusiastically, as to command conf

into gigantic existence, and commanded some

scription, alien to the heart and intelligence

genuine fruits when the secret and sectarian

Presidential.

In review of Presidential candidates, run
ming over some twenty names, the Neto York
Herald thus alludes to the statesman who now
holds so distinguished place in the thoughts
of the American and European world -. Mr..
BUCHANAN, who is on his way to the White
House with his friends, is undoubtedly an able
statesman, besides being something of poll
tician. Perhaps no prominent man in the
Union possesses as much of what is known as
common sense as JAMES BUCHANAN. As long
ago as 1925, when Dir. CLAY was charged
with g bargain and corruption" and there
were no charts for politicians to steer by, Mr.
BUCHANAN managed in that bitter controversy
to make his position satisfactory to both par
ties 1t must not be inferred from this that
we regard him trimming politician. Far
from it. Few men have expressed more
prompt and decided opinions. Even when
the Oregon bill, with the Wilmot proviso,
was before President Polk for approval, Mr.
BUCHANAN strongly advised a veto, regarding
the restriction as unconstitutional As man
of great abilities, common sense, fearless en-
ergy and bold cnunciation. Mr.. BUCHANAN is
one of the first statesmen of the Union.'
The New Orleans Crescent names the Hon
JOHN SLIDELL, the able and popular Senator
from Louisiana, and the embodiment of the
Cuban sentiment in this country, as Vice
President on the ticket with Hon. JAMES Bu-
cHANAN 1t would be formidable ticket.

I Proposed Organization of State Govern
ment in Minnesota

the Council of Minnesota providing for Ter
ritorial Convention, to be held in June, 1857
to frame State Constitution as preliminary
to asking for admission into the Union. The
population of the entire Ter ritory is between
sixty and seventy thousand, and will no doubt
be amply sufficient to form State by the time
designated for holding the Convention. The
people of Minnesota do not seem inclined to
wait for permissive act of Congress to ena-
bic them to form State Government, as
claimed by the President to be necessary in
the case of Kansas. There being no hope of
Minnesota becoming slave State in any con-
tingency. it is probable that this prerequisite
will not be insisted on, but that her people will
be permitted to exercise unmolested the at
tribute of true popular sovereignty.

LEAP YEAR.-A correspondent of the Lon
don Dispatch, has endeavored to show the
connexion which exists between scarlet and
leap year. He says. that by ancient custom,
maiden wearing scarlet petticoat in leap
year, may propose to a bachelor to marry her !;
and if he declines to do SO, and she shows him
part of her red petticoat, he is bound to pre-
sent to her new silk dress to cover it, and
assuage her wounded feelings. And he AYERS
that under garments of this beautiful color
have just been brought into fashion with a
view to carrying out the law in the course of
the year. Bachelors must lie exceedingly
cautious, therefore, how they give the least en-
couragement to tie popping of the question
