Mr.. buchanan Among the Red RepubIi-


Tie London correspondent of Tho yow yo,L Til
bune gives an interesting account of Mr.. Bucbap-
an { meeting with kossuth Mazzini Ledru Rollip
aud other eminent cxiles at the house of George
Sanders in London. Until the arrival of sardcys
in England, Mr.. Buchanan, il seems, had been
somewhat shy of the Republican refugees with
which London was swarniing, not knowing what
effect his affaton with them might have upon
his political prospects at home, and fearing that il
might have disastrous one. BIT Sanders, him.
self the most buoyant aud enthusiastic Radical in
the two countries, promptly changed all this. He
put the Ambassadors misgivings to flight
lie told him that IL was the conservative old
togies who had always thwdrted his just expccta-
tons, and that an alliance with Young Ainerica,
with Soulc and his friends in the South, aud with
the refugees in Europe, could alone Insure bis nom,
nation for the Presidency. Buchanan listened
with eager ear, and warmly approved the suggee-
ton. Accordingly, on the anniversary OF wash
ington's birthday Kosslith, Ledr, Roliin Mazzinj.
Gaiioaldi, Fclice 0rsini, Herzcn the Russian, and
several others, were Invited by Sanders " to meet
his Excellency the American Ambassador Tho
meeting occurred, and passed of to the mutual
satisfaction OF the parties concerned, and when II
broke up at midnight Mr.. Buchanan parted from
this company of blood.red Republicans the iercest
Radicals upon the face Of the globe, with the re-
markable assurance that he was !" glad TO see that
his patriotic new aequaintances were so moderate
in their language and 80 statesnanlike in their
views"
Surely here was progress that must have thrilled
the ardent heart Of Sanders with lelight After
this, OF course, the way was i, and though,
for obvious reasons, Mr.. Bu may not have
formally met the exiles in ion again. he il
known to have connived at the dealings Of the Sec
retary and Of the Consul in their favor, and doub
less was himself in constant secret intercourse
with them. Sanders clearly knew his man. His tri.
mn aI,,n n.,I
Ambassador proved sngularly apt scholar His
mind was evidently ready for the seed implanted
by the glowing flibuster, and the harvest, as
gathered at Ostend, was marveousy quick and
lavish. Soule, says tn, correspondent in hand
during his visit TO England, declared freely that
lat the Ostend conference Buchanan neycr OBJ
jected an any ,oay to his uieoS, Jat qaUe than h;a
most cordial support" The seductive hint os
Sanders had taken thorough possession Of him.
The success of the Red Republicans was perfect.
The 0stend Manifesto was the crowning proof
OF Mr.. Buchanan's conversion to open ilibuster-
sm and was no doubt intended to be his stepping
stone to popularity with Young America IL has
answered this special purpose very fully but, un.
fortunately for Mr.. Buchanan, there is an America
more enlightened and pure than Young America,
compared with which the latter is no moro than
the foam upon tho ocean wave. And between
himself and this America lows an impossible cur
rent into which he has never yet cast stepping
stone which the tide hasn't borne away like n TOW
lie cannot pass over it. 1t is nsuperable. burly
nfdel might as well undertake to tread the Mo-
hammedan AL Sirat.
Interference Of Catholic Priests i'm Politics.
In Canada which bounds US on the North, in
Mexico which bounds us on the South as well az
in this country, the Catholic priesthood arc inter.
meddlcrs in politics whenever thcre is the most dis-
tant chance OF doing anything to promote tho IN
tcrests of tho church. Our Canadian neighbors
have recently had some experience In this matter,
which affords fair illust alton of the spirit Of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy everywhere. The To-
ron:o Globe published, day or two since, long
series Of letters aud other documents seventy or
eighty in number, which established the fact that
the Catholic Bishops had been amongst tho most
active political intrguers in the PROVINCES and thoy
have resortcd TO threats, and other dsreputable
means, to accomplish their irpurposes. Tho following
letter affords fair specimen Of these documents.

Letter Of Bishop Phclan to Hon attorney Ge,se-

KlSssToN, April IL, 1855.
Hon. Sir Although you have informed me in
your last letter that it is and always was your OBJ
feet 20 enable the Catholics of Upper Canada to
educate their youth in their own way, it does not
appear, however, Shat you intend making, at this
session. any of the amendments to the present
school act which you require me to communicate
in writing to you If this be the case, what was
The use of asking me for my views on the subject
Of the separate Schoolsg am Sware OF your dit
culties on this point the chief superintendent Of
schools OF Canada West, especially being opposed
to any measure that would be favorable to sep
arate school, and consequently determined If pos
sible, to prevent the amendments we require. But
trust neither you nor the ministry will be pre-
vented from doing US justice by your allowing us
the same rights and privileges for our separate
schools as are granted 20 the Catholics of Lower
Canada If this be done at the present session wo
7iill Rave no reason to complain, and the odium
thrown uboi Jou for being controlled by DR.. Ryer.
son will be ehectualy removed.
If OIL the contrary, the voice OF our opponents
upon the subject of separate schools Is more at
tended TO and respected than the voice OF the
Catholic bishops, he clergy, and nearly 100000 OF
her Majestys loyal Catholic subjects, claiming jus
tce for the education of their YOUTH surely the
Ministry that refuses us such rights cannot blame
us for being dispeased with them, and consequent
ly for being determined to every constitutional
meaiis In our power to prevent their future return
to Parliament This of course will be the disa-
preeable alternative to which we shall be obliged
to have recourse If full justice be not done at TINS
session with regard to our separate schools.

\ obedient servant
PATRICK, Bishop of Carrho,
Administrator Apostolic of Diocese of Kingston.
This was sent to the Attorney General, with the
concurrence of two others Of the bishops OF Canada

official characters holding high positions. The
