A selfappointed committee OF notorious oppo.
uents Of James Buchanan to the Presidency is to
leave this city for Lancaster In the course Of the
week, with prepared documents and speeches, &C
companied by report.r to take down particulars
Of what is contemplated to be an interesting In
terview. The proper treatment Of this mission
although one of their number Is said to be an ex-
United States senator-should be refusal on tho
part of Mr.. Buchanan TO extend to them further
notice than poiteness would suggest, accompanied
by refusal to reply to their designedly evil COM
munications, which. hopes are entertained, may
prove injurious to his interests with the South.
The dread of any longer silence by the ex-minis-
