Now. with all due consideration for the critic Of
The Times, such adyice to Mrs. Stowe is simply
ridiculous. She is not, and does not profess to b.

is not to CRAFTY the taste, but to move the heart
The "proyince which she has made so much her

powers of graphic description, dramatic dialogue,

would be no more absurd to ask preacher to make
his morality and religion subordinate to his rhetoric,

The Herald still insists upon the probability that
Buchanan will shake of the whole gang of Southern
nulifers and gutta.percha politicians, to whom he
owes bis nomination and election, aud will inaugu-
rate moderate, conservative Administration, of
viii n the first act will be the admission of Kansas
as a Free State. Regarding the adoption of such
course ofpOlicy as depending solely on the wis
dom and the strength of Mr.. Buchanan, we have
been inclined to set down this hope of The Herald
as rather fcIOrn There is however, another as
pect Of Mr.. Buchanan's character which certainly
gives to The Heraid's expectation certain degree
OF plauslblity.
Mr. Buchanan has always shown a decided in
clir alton to be on the strongest side; he has never
been famous for any very romantic notions OF party
10y atty or fidelity, but after having got all he could
out of one party, has never had the least difficulty
in joining another. The shareholders, in elevating
Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency, have done for him
all they can do; and as tOany gratitude due to them
therefor, Mr. Buchanan has certainly reason enough
to be of opinion that the humiliation be was obliged
to submit to- to get the Office, discharges him from
any liability on that score. The result Of the cleo.
ton, though it has made Mr.. Buchanan President
has at the same time shown that the sham Slavery
extending Democracy is in a very decided minority
1t is reasonable to suppose that, under these cir
cumstances, Mr.. Buchanan will rat. Moreover,
Dir. Buchanan, as is well known, has terrible
horror of bargain and corruption; and what other
way is there for him to escape the charge which he
himself brought against Mr.. Clay, except to drop
these sayeholdng fire. eaters and to select other adj
visers' Still, there remains difficulty which
seems iDsurmOuntabe. His choice seems to lie
only between fre-eaters and doughfaces and how is
it possible to make just, impartial Administration
out of either!
