An annual man-hunt for their Southern trade,
What moral power within your grasp remains,
To stay the mischief on Nebraska's plains?
EIIigh as the tides of generous impulse flow,
As far rolls back the selfish undertow:
And all your brave resolves, though aimed
As the horse-pistol Balmawhapple drew,
To Slavery's bastions lend as slight a shock
AS the poor troopers shot to Stirling rock!

p6S- A late number of the dublin
Nation" has the following:
buchanan and Shields both hail
from the North, but Buchanan is Am
erican born. They are intimate friends.
1t was Buchanan, indeed, who, to the
astonishmtnt of West Point, picked out
Shields, then Judge upon the Illinois
bench, and gazotted him to command
a brigade in the Mexican war. b.
chanan was then Secretary of State
in fact, Premier to Polk. 1t is mere
English ignorance or arrogance to
speak Of Buchanan as political ad-
venturer and new man. There new
er was an American Statesman more
above the imputation. He is one OF
the wealthiest men in the Union. He
has been a prominent and consistent
Democratic leader for forty years. He
has had character in the Senate only
second IL their day to Webster's, Cal
houn's, and Clay's. His adm'nlstra-
ton, which added California to the
States, was one of the most brilliant,
and will become one Of the most mem.
orablc in American history. For his
Presidency, We dare hope that grand
or glory is reserved. W" hope he may
and believe he wall, get every Irish
vote in the Union. Personally, th"re
is the strongest attachment to him
among the Irish. He has mace his
candidature Anti-Know Nothing in the
broadest and strongest terms. Person
ally, he is we'll knewn to be OF the
most liberal and tolerant principles.
