ALEXANDER II. Ii. STUART, ]
ANDREW STEWART,
ERAsTUs Brooks,
E. b. BARTLETT,
WIN. j. EAMEs,
EPHRAIM MARSH,
Mr. Buchanan,s Age.

The New York Tribune speaks of Mr.. Buchanan
as past his SEVENTEEN year." As Mr.. D. (says
the Troy Budget was but sixty-Rve in April last,
he will serve OUT his first Presidential term before
he reaches the age the Tribune gives him. Mr.. B.
is younger than either jackson, Cass, or TAYLOR
were on their nominations, and is in the full ripe
ness and vigor of intellect ard physical health
His recent sojouin in England, where he won the
admiration and respect of all Europe by his solid
abilities, has greatly improved his health In the
enjoyment of which, together with tho sincere con-
hdence of his countrymen, he has lately returned,
with transformations manners and truly American
heart Washington Union.
We do not copy the above article from the
Union for the purpose of disputing the age of
MIR. Buchanan, nor is it important whether he
is past his SEVENTEEN year" or only sixty
five" We apprehend the truth to be, however,
that Mr.. Buchanan is in the same difficulty as
to his age that he is in as to his principles, and
that he is like another old bachelor of our ac
quaintance, who had outlivcd his youth, and
being asked his age, answered that he was " of
no particular age" Mr.. Buchanan is q of no
particular age" and has no particular princi-
Piles. Like the varied construction of the Kan
sas-Nebraska act, which is anti-slavery at the
North and pro-slavery at the South, cold
Buck is willing to oblige his friends and BE
construed according to the latitude of the
place where the construction is to DO given.
If the people want man of seventy, then he
is seventy; or if they want a man who is but
sixty-Ave, then that is his age.
But the Union gives us a piece of informa-
fanr, Il. "a 4 =
says, Mr. Buchanan win serve out his first
Presidential term before he reaches the age of
seventy Well, really, we had supposed the
question OF his serving thecountry at all was
yet to be decided We are not quite sure that
this old bachelor is not in the same category
with an old maid who counted chickens before
they were Matched, and, unfortunately, by her
Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1856-06-12

laundering, let fall her basket Of eggs, smashed
them, and never enjoyed the new dress which
she intended to purchase by the sale Of her
chickens Take care, or there may be another
smash Of embryo chickensl
But the Union makes a most unfortunate
admission for Old Buck, at the close Of the
above article, where it says that he has return
ed from England with "a truly American
heart" Then he certainly is in the wrong
pew" as candidate Of the Foreign party -
Does the Union suppose foreigners will vote
for man with "a truly American heartYn
Perhaps the Union, in the above sentence,
had in its eye that very beautiful Grafton de-
livered by cold Buck" in which, but few
years ago, he deprecated all foreign i,.1luenc !,
and preached Americanism with tremendous
power and effect Now, we frankly admit that
"Old Buck" had then "a truly American
heart and advocated true American doctrines
But has he been stsadfast in the faithp and
has he noso "a truly American hearth We
hope so, for in that event, whether Fillmore or
Buchanan shall be elected, the reign of Amer
icanism will be inaugwated, and our princi-
pies viii triumph. AS we are not quite sure,
however, that the Union tells the truth about
the "Americdn heart of Mr. Buchanan, we
rsther prefer Mr. Fillmore, and especially as
sold Buck" went out of his way to fatter the
vanity of the Irish at the dinner given by the
Lord Mayor Of Londonl
We suppose our readers understand our al
fusion TO Mr.. Buchanan's declaration in, Lon
don, that there is no tyranny sohere the Eng
lish language IS spoken, and, of course, none
in any of her Britannia Majesty's dominions,
and especially none in Ireland, where British
power and rule has so elepated the condition
of the people, and so greatly promoted their
prosperity
Surely, surely, Mr.. Buchanan must have in
tended, in the utterance Of that sentiment, to
compliment the Irish population in the United
States, and, if so, we do not exactly understand
how he could have ga truly American heart p
However, we may be able more fully to com
prehend the meaning of Mr.. Buchanan's COM
pliments to the government Of England, and to
the Irish people in particular, contained in the
above sentiment, when we see how far the
Irish press in the United States appreciate his
condiments

AN EARTHQUAKES Tn VERA CRUz.--The Progress
states that, the 18th of April, during the dead
of the night, two shocks of an earthquake were
sensiby felt in that city. At the same time, a
loud subterranean report, not unlike the rumblDg
the Progress says, is the second extraordinary phe
nomenon which we have perceived during few
days, being on account of the overheated state of
the atmosphere; for, a few nights ago, a brilliant
aerolite was seen to cross directly over the city,
Illuminating our whole city and bursting with a
very loud detonaton.
