HERBERT -VIJIL -RAILROAD GRANN
From Om special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, May IA, 1856.
It was stated yesterday to be the intention {
Mr.. Meacham to offer resolution of inquiry In IL
House to-day respecting the Herbert homicid
but the pupose, from some cause, was not ss
cuted. A good deal of feeling exists among NEE
bers at the fact that Mr.. Herbert has resumed \
seat and participates in the business of the HouA
He is generally cOuntenanced by gentlemen ffa
the South, so for az have observed, but the tor
of Northern sentiment is Of directly oppOsh
character. Nothing disclOses more clearly II
radical difference of character between North ~
South than the view which is taken Of this tramk
ton by the two sections. Two distinct races (
men could hardly be expected to exhibit more rad
cally opposite ideas upon any subject than mayk
found in the opinions of Northern and Southm
men on this affair. =
A snug crowd Of patient Washingtonians waiid
in front of the National Hotel until IL o'clock ln
night to hear the discourse of Mr.. Buchanan. II
candidate for the Cincinnati Convention sppeara
on the balcony at that hour, and made duly-cct
sidered speech. 1t was Presidency hunting \
over, and not bad. 1t had lick at the Highs
Law, which was natural enough since Bachsan
was an old Federalist, and Jefferson, who Is nes
regarded the father of that heresy, was no favodh
of that party. Mr.. Buchanan wore the same ~
white cravat, had the same stiff neck and head 4
one side, that have so long marked him. DsSnd
traces of age were clearly visible on bis shsrpeu4
visage. The feeling of Mr. Buchanans friends
not hopeful. This Presidential touring Is not y
teemed lucky Bit, and gloomy forebOdngs seems
pervade their breasts. The amiable pair who CO !
cocted the Kansas Nebraska bill, and whose jois
efforts contaminated that piece Of treachery ~
mischief, are known to be quite ready to cut "
political throat Of the returned diplomat. tn
have not the least intention to permit him
run of with the robes they have prepared for then
selves. There seems little doubt that the trio vii
be severally laid out cold by one another on 10
battle. ground at Cincinnati.
Walkers new Minister presented his credentias
today, and was warmly received by the Presidept
Mr.. Marcy reluctantly-indeed, we may say OPT
,osedly to the reception. This recet
,iton is one of those weak acts Of precipitasq
hat little minds are often guilty Of, and it Is qus
sure to turn out either ludicrOus or Feras
blunder. IfWaIker had been or should be- defs6a z
and driven out, the position of our GoyensM
will be simply ridiculous. II, on the other Asse
be should be strengthened by our intervenAsn, "
should be enabled to fortify himself and carr -
