Northern View or MIR. Buchanan's
Strength.

We invite the attention OF the Bee and its
credulous readers to the following extract from
late article in the Boston Courier an old line
Wing paper, on the prospects of the Presiden-
tial election.
1t will be seen that the Courier differs
slightly from the Bee in its estimate Of Mr..
Buchanans strength in the North:
Thus Mr.. Buchanan enters the field with
the whole Southern political force in his favor;
he IS as certain OF the electoral vote of Penn
sylvania-if any dependence can be placed
upon the previous and well known action of
Pennsylvania with regard to her politicians
and her interests--as the sun is to rise on the
day Of the Presidential election-and he theu
wants but two electoral votes to make him
President California has never shown any
peculiar favor toward Colonel Fremont-he
was refused reelection to the United States
Senate about year after she came in as a
State-his claim for her four votes has acquired
no recent strength, and California has shown
less disposition to sympathize with anti-slayery
than other Northern States in the Union. He
has then to look to Iowa, Indiana and Illinois
in the West-to New Jersey, Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Maine in the North-all OF
which are debatable States, even with the anti
slavery Juror, now dying out which is expected
to be brought into action among their voters,
aud his chances of success with them are no
better, if they are as good, as those OF the De
mocratic candidate. There are other Northern
States which might be put into the same cate.
CORY, and there is besides the great State of
New York, with her thirty electoral votes,
which, in the present state Of the canvass, the
Republicans cannot claim with any surety
of success. The friends OF Mr. Fillmore will,
without doubt, run an electoral ticket for him,
and as they carried plurality in the last State
election, though they may be weakened by dis
sensions now, they constitute force which is
not to be despised, and they have large body
Of men in their ranks who can never be brought
to the support of the Republican ticket.

Internal Policy.-I most heartily pledge my.
sell, should the nomination BY the convention
be ratified by the people, that all the power and
influence constitutionally possessed by the Ex-
ecutive, shall be exerted in firm but concila
tory spirit, during the single term ! shall re.
main in Office, to restore the same harmony
among the sister States which prevailed before
this apple Of discord, in the form of slavery
agitation, had been cast into their midst
James buchanan.
Foreign Iolicy.-"Sbould be placed in the
Executive chair, / shall use my best exertions
to cultivate peace and friendship with all ma
tons, believing this to be our highest policy, as
well as our most imperative duty.'--.James
Buchanan.

The Ten Cent Fabriaoation.

The New York Tribune admits with an un-
usual fraukness, that Mr.. Buchanan never
made use Of any such expression as has been
falsely imputed to him. The Tribune says:
"The charge that Mr.. Buchanan has adyo.
Gated a reduction Of laboring mems wages to
ten cents per day, has but very partial sup.
port in fact He certainly never made any
such proposition directly, nor anything which
he understood to have that effect"
Washington sentinel., 1856-07-26

Many Of our citizens are petitioning Con
gress for an act Incorporating a society to
establish Houses Of Industry and Refuge; the
first to save, the second TO redeem from crime.
Some regard this as the greatest necessity OF
our city, and propose to assist in the purchase
Of suitable places for preparing those, who may
be under their care, with good homes, when
their labor is needed, and faithfulness will be
encouraged by fair compensation to be paid
at the end Of their term. These objects will
doubtless meet the approval Of rightminded
persons generally, as being just what is need
ed and courts and juries will be relieved
from the painful necessity Of 50 often turning
at large those who need restraint, because con.
6nement with hardened criminals viii make
them still worse. Believing the trustees are
worthy Of public confidence, and approving
their plan, we hope Congress will grant them
charter, aud that the public will lend libe.
