4 Do our Buchanan brethren begin to get their eyes
open to their positionf Do they begin to appreciate
the truth of the assurance that the wicked stand
slippery places have been attempting, as yon are
aware TO convince such OF them as have been able
toreach, that there mine gathering under tho,
to explode speedily and scatter them and their opss
into thin air The result in Iowa, in Vermont, and
in Maine, ought to have the effect to convince them
that there is some reason at the bottom of my pre-
dctions-and their rout in those states, they should
speedily bring themselves to understand, is fore
taste ofwhat they may expect from all the northern
! States. No man can discover or give reason why
the same causes which have produced such rcmarka
bic results in the States alluded to will not produce
precisely the results in every northern State
Pennsylvania was never more reliable democratic
State than Maine, and to say that Pennsylvania will
not on this occasion, exhibit the same result that
Maine has, is the msrsst kind of assumption. Ireit
crate what have before stated that the same causes
which unite the Southern States and make them one
in this strife must necessarily unite and make
the Northern States. The Southern States by uni
ting as they manifestly have, proclaim stakably
that to maintain, extend, and perpetuaie the instu
ton Of Slavery, is their purpose With such an open
proclamation purpose, how can the north with an,
selfrespect with spark ofregard for the principles
Of the government and constitution fail to array se
in opposition. II wiH do ii,
The Buchanan men in this seghborhsod at th
present speaking ARE rather down in the mouth. The
letter of Judge Doolttle, the news from Maine ant
the unfortunate aspect generally Of affairs on the
side of the house. has had decidedly dispirtng ton
dency. The candid ones admit that there is LITTLE
prospect of the BUCCANEERS carrying this State. NJ.
own opinion is that The result in this State will ex
hibit about the same phenomenon witnessed in the
Maine election. There are rumors here of at leas
two more distinguished BUCCANEERS of this State hav
ing come ont recently for Fremont, but the rumor il
not sufficiently authenticated to warrant the
names.
The history of legislation thus far may be very
J brief The two houses have shut down emphatcally
upon all local and private business The iHvsstiga
ting committee has not yet reported. 1t suppos
cd the report would be in to-day, but am told some
new matter hos been discovered, which will occasion
brief delay. The report ought 10 have been in al
tho commencement of the session, but as Tie work
has been done mainly by one man, there has beor
necessary delay.
The special r. r. Committee are at work When
they will be ready to report, or what they will report
when they do get ready, have no means of know
ing
The apportonmcnt bill win come up probably to-
morrow for consideration. The Walworth County
representatives will probably not consent to divide
Walworth county, and put part on TO Kenosha, to
make out that Senate district

With reference to the results of the inv cations
rumor seems scarcely to have exaggerated the facts
ofthe case i had really supposed heretofore, that
no small amount of 'hs cry for investigation and
against 'Barstow and the Balance was occasoned
by mere partizan antagonisna, and thought that in
vestigaton might show some looscnoss and careless
ness, and perhaps abuse of discretion, in the man
agement of affairs, but nothing further. 1t is my
disposition to put pretty high estimate on human
nature generally. and could not bring myself to
make marked exception in the case Of the late
administration as the rumors and confident
tons of those who pretended to know, required me
to make and therefore have been rather disposed
to say, wait and what is developed. True, Bars

not one dollar of the School fund had been lost dur
