Buchanan and Belmont.

The Paris correspondent of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser thus writes by the Baltic:
Mr.. Buchanan seems hesitating whether to re-
turn home or not. The example Of Mr. Fillmore
has its attractions. In the meantime, he is going
to pay two or three weeks visit to Mr.. Belmont
at the Hague, to consult and to see whether the
wheels are going to be well creased. Mr.. Belmont,
as you perhaps know, is one of the warrnest sup
porters of Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidency. 1t is
also equally well known that Mr.. Belmont has
plenty Of money, and that he has an enormously
high opinion Of its power. Il is also known that
be aspires to the place of Minister to Berlin or vi
enna-either would suit his private purpose
Mr. Belmont IL an Austrian, and procured his
appointment as Minister to Holland through the
intercession Of Mr.. Buchanan. He s a millionaire,
and unscrupulous in the of money for political
purposes. We presume he would not hesitate to
contribute sl00,O0 to secure the election Of Mr..
Buchanan, provided be could secure for himself
the appointment Of Minister to Berlin or Vienna.
In the earlier and better days of the Republic,
the great diplomatic appointments Of our govern
ment were invariably conferred upon Americans,
and upon Americans Of the highest standing
Upon John Jay, Thomas jefferson. John Marshall.

new Minister, has been most fatteringy received
In London. he dined with the Premier day or
two after his arrival and various other fetes we're
given in his honor.
Mr.. Dallas, in a letter just received, says that
the subject Of the differences between the English
government and the United States win be fully
discussed In Parliament, He Is led to believe that
the discussion will not be devoid of acrimony to-
wards this country, but he is prepared to bear Il
like a PHILOSOPHERS. He mentions with particular
ty numerous acts of marked courtesy extended
him, including those Of members Of the Cabinet !;
and he regards these manifestations as expressive
Of pesccsble disposition towards this country.

Fanny is a woman. For that she is not to blame,
though, since she first found it out she has never
ceased to deplore Il. She might be prettier, she
might be younger. She might be older, she might
be uglier. She might be better, she might be
worse. She has been both over-praised and over
abused, and those who have abused her worst have
initiated and copied her most.

American victory in Cohoes.

The election for charter officers of the village Of
Cohoes, in Albany county, resulted in an American
triumph. There was an American, Republican,
and Democratic ticket in the field. DR.. Landon,
the American candidate for President, was elected
by very large majority, haying within eleven
votes majority over all the rest. The entire
American ticket, excepting Collector, was elected
by about the same majority.
Cohoes is within ten miles Of Albany, and. like
Albany, rejects and spurns the spurious Repub,
licanism," which Weed and Seward would foist
upon her. Nowhere is Seward weaker than in his
own State and his own bailiwick.

Mr.. Jefferson and our Local Reporter.


Mr.. Jefferson has furnished us with the GER
tifcates Of Messrs Albert Fisher, Orme, and
Fuller, sustaining the views which he presented
in his card in the Organ of 18th, as to the
language used in the debate on Monday night
last in the Board of Common Council. Our
reporter is sustained on his part by the corrpb-
orativs statements Of at least three members of
the Board.
We have every confidence in the fairness
and integrity of our Reporter, and doubt not
he understood the matter precisely as he re-
ported it; nevertheless we have no reason to
question the sincerity of Mr.. Jefferson, or that
of his witnesses, in the statements they make as
to this matter, and the only solution Of the
discrepancies in the statements of gentlemen
on either side, is found in the conclusion, that
the remarks were misunderstood or miscon-
strued We have no ida of assuming the
ground, that our Reporter, and those who
think with him, are infaIlible; nor can we
consent to take the position that our Reporter
has purposely misrepresented the debate
Where honorable gentlemen differ, as to the
purport of remarks made in debate, we draw
the inference, that there has been misunder-
standing as to the precise language used, or as
to its meaning and import Our Reporters
are instructed to make fair and impartial re-
ports, and we shall be slow to believe that they
Intentionally misrepresent any debate, or that
they do not use their best exertions to report
