tiors by which he viii be surrounded. 1t Is
true, as the "faithless phantom asserted be-
fore bis nomination, that ho has been in pub
lie life nearly forty years, and has done no
thing to distinguish himself from the most or
dinary politician Of the day, but yet we will
not write him down an old granny, without
brains and without any claims upon his par.
ty, as Phantom" thought it proper to do, in
his earnest devotion to poor Frank Piercel
On the contrary, although Mr. Buchanan
had done but little TO distinguish himself in
former years, his recent invention Of Squatter
sovereignty" Claimed by himself as its author)
is enough to make him very distinguished
man in the future for we predict, that before
the termination Of his administration, that doc
trine will become the most odious doctrine
among conservative men and patriots, that has
ever yet been advanced under this government,
and that with all such men he will become as
obnoxious, in less than four years, as the re-
tired politician of Kinderhook
That doctrine was cunningly devised TO gull
the South-devised by Buchanan and his Van
Buren, associates. 1t has had thus far its de-
sired effect. 1t has successfully gulled not only
the South, but thousands upon thousands OF
conservative men in the Middle States 1t has
elevated its author to the Presidency, and
hence we say, that the faithless phantom of
Star" underrated the intelligence and ability
of Mr.. Buchanan. He is not that old granny
which phantom" represented, but he Is a
dangerous statesman, shrewd, cunning, and
artful politician This is our judgment
Of Mr.. Breckenridge, the Vice President
elect, we entertain totally different opinion
He is not only gentleman in the highest
sense of this term, but we are much deceived
If he be not an open, frank, honest, conserva-
tive statesman. We have An exalted opinion
of his talents-his chivalrous character
unsullied patriotisn--and the conservatism of
his general opinions. lie is, in no respect,
second to any man of his age in the United
States Nor are these opinions Of Mr. Breck-
inridge now for the first time expressed; from
the day we first formed his acquaintance,
some four years ago. VIC predicted that future
political prominence which he is approach
ing. We differ from him wholly on the aues.
ton of Americanism, and we would fain hope
that he is not irevocably committed to the
shameless heresy of "squatter sovereignty"
We are so deeply impressed with the dan
gers which are destined to flow from this de-
testahle heresy, we almost lose our.' patience
when we turn our attention to it. The cleo
ton of Buchanan, il regarded (as it must be)
as an endorsement Of this doctrine by the
American people, will prove in its results, the
dircst political curse that could be inflicted
upon this hitherto favored country. We
would hope, even almost against hope, that,
before it shall be too late, the people will open
their eyes to the disasters which this doctrine
threatens

Distressing Calamity Fire at 81. Louis.
A calamity or a distressing nature occurred at
Bremen, In the upper portion OF tuis city, last
nigh, by which IL ID supposed that six men lost
their lives.
Between l2 and o'clock fire broke out ia the
large cabinet shop Of Mcssn. Henry and William
Benker, situated on the Bellefontaine road, be
tween Anglerodt and Dorehan streets The fire
companies were sooa on the ground, but, owing
TO the absence Of water could do nothing TO arrest
the progress Of the flames. The building, being
filled with combustible materials, quickly con-
sumed together with It's entire contents.
The saddest feature OF the occurrence is the sup
posed burning OF six men who we're sleeping Ia the
building. Quite crowd had collected around the
fire, Witnessing it's progress, when some one sud-
denly remembered that ten men, hands in the es-
tabhshmenh were sleeping In one Of the upRer
rooms.
In moment the greatest excitement prevailed.
buckets Of water and ladders were brought, and
efficient men in the crowd exerted themselves 20
rescue the unconscious sleepers from their appal-
ling situation. BY a. eat effort and considerable
risk, one man entered the burning building, as
sended 20 the room where the sleepers were lying,
opened the door, and raised the alarm.
-Four Of the men were reused, and succeeded in
making their escape. The remaining six are mis-
sing, and are supposed To have perishcd In the
flames. Not one Of them was seen on the ground,
nor have they been heard from since The char
red, crisped remains Of one has been discovered
in the ruins, and Il IL supposed that the bodies OF
the others are burned 20 ashes. We have not
been able TO learn their names
The corossr went up TO The scene OF the dsas-
ter this morning, to hold inquest, and viii elicit
all the particulars Of the affair
How the fire originated is not known. The loss
of property Ia estimated AZ s7,oo0--insurancc
81 500, in the Offices in this city.

An ugly One.

In the eastern part of Delaware county,
New York, there resides a man named
B, now Justice of the Peace, and a
very sensible man, but, by common consent
the ugliest looking individual in the whole
country, being long gaunt and awry, with a
gait like kangaroo.
One day he was out hunting, and on one
of the mountain roads he met man who
was longer, gaunter and uglier by all odds,
than himself He could give the squire Eff
ty and beat him. Without saying a word,
B raised his gun and deliberately level
ed it at the stranger.
"For Gods sake, don't shoot" shouted
the man in great alarm.
STRANGER" replied B., "I swore,
ten years ago, that if ever met a man uglier
than was, I'd shoot him; and your are the
first one I've seen."
The stranger, after taking careful sur
vey of his rival replyed:
"WaL, captain, if 1 look any worse than
you, stuet don't want to live any Longer"
