MR.. BUCHANAN AMONG THE
GERMANS,

The New York Stats Zeitgng says;
Buchanan is statesman of talent, ex.
perience aud liberal continents. He
knows the old world and the new, the
most liberal country of Europe as well
as the most enslaved. He has seen too
much of the world to be man of low
prejudices. He knows the immigrants
to this countr ry too well not to acknOwl-
edge fully their merits We repeat the
Democratic National Convention has
done good days work, and We rejoice
to be able to say that We have performed
our part to obtain this result. The
Staats Zeitung was one of the first pa
pers, land among the Germans the very
first, which advocated the nomination
of Buchanan, and his past life gives us
a guarantee that we shall have no cause,
as far as the country is concerned, 70
regret this result. Buchanan will be
our next President, and certainly the
best of all those who have conducted
the fortunes of this country since the
days when the heroes of Democracy
adorned the Presidential char.

In Raphael's great painting of the
TRANSPORTATION, the summit cf the
mount appears in bold outline, and the
saviour of men is elevated above it, sus-
pended and quietly waited, as it were,
in mid-air. Elias and Moses appear
near him, enrobed in sp'endor which
is reflected from the greater unearthly
glory of Christ. From this divine per-
sonage, invested with that appalling
brilliancy which constituted the Trans
fgrration itself, proceeds the illumina-
tion which lights up the whole scene
The person of Christ heggars descrip-
tion not so much from the intensified
splendor in which it is shrouded, as by
she perfect expression of that divinity
and supezlatn1an character which SO
distinctly marks it, and which is, indeed,
the great merit of the picture. The
venerable forms of the Old Testament
saints, impress the observer with awe,
as they engage in communion with one
whom they evidently conceive to be
greater than themselves. The three dis
.ciples occupy lower portion of the pic
ture. One turns away his head, over
powered by the light; another has thrown
himself upon the earth in terror and
awe; while third covers his face with
his bands, to shield it from the insup-
portable splendor. At the base of the
mountain appear, the other disciples,
whom Christ had left there, attempting
TO perform a miracle By casting out
deaf and dumb spirit. The whole pic
ture is .pyramid, throwing up the per-
son of CHRIST above its apex, into bold
outline; admirably indicative, on the
one hand, Of his earthly connection, and
on the other, of his heavenly origin.
The style of this painting, more than
most Of Raphaers productions, is grand
and sublime. The midnight mountain
scene, with every attendant circumstance
OF mystery and solitude which adheres

GENIUS AND LARoR.-It would be an
extremely profitable thing to draw up a
short and well authenticated account of
the habits of study of the most cclcbra-
ted writers with whose style of literary
Industry we happen to be most acquain-
ted. 1t would go very far to destroy
the abused and pernicious association of
genius and idleness, by showing them
that the greatest poets, orators, states
meu, aud historians-men of the most
brilliant aud imposing talents-have
actually labored as hard as the makers
of dictionaries and the arrangers of indi-
ees; and that the most obvious reason
why they have been superior to other
men is, that sthey have taken more pains
than other men. Gibbon was in his
study every morning, winter and sum-
mer, at six o'clock Mr. Burke was the
wost l2borious and indefatingable of hu-
man beings; Leibnitz was never out of
his library; Pascal killed himself by
study; Cicero narrowly escaped death
by the same cause; Milton was at his
books With as much regularity as mer-
chant or an attorney-he had mastered
all the knowledge Of his time, SO had

In conclusion, let nae assure you that
our principles must triumph, for they
are just. Adhere to the simple maxim
of the Democratic party. Let our coun-
try be the ASYLUM of the oppressed

MR.. BUCHANAN AND THE WAR
OF 1912.

We see that several of the know-noth-
ing and black republican organs have
Reproduced speech made by Mr. Bu-
chanan on the 4th of July, 1915, in
which are sentiments in regard to the
war. with Great Britain that had then
closed which now find no response in the
public mind. AS objectionable as we
admit some of these sentiments to be,
we think the objection is made with an
exceedingly i'll grace by those who are
daily giving utterance to opinions and
doctrines far more unpatriotic and an
American than anything to be found in
that speech. Mr.. Buchanan's position
and course in the war of 1912 have one
redeeming feature which cannot be found
in the present position and course of his
assailants. He was opposed to the pol
icy of the war, and censured the admin
istration for its mode of conducting 1t;
but after the war was declared, he man
ifested his devotion to the country by
shouldering his muskct and marching to
its defence. Like thousands of true pa
triots of that day Mr.. Buchanan differed
with Mr.. Madison's administration as
to its war policy, but his heart and soul
were with his country, and he was ready
to risk his life in its defence. He never
belonged to that other class of oppo-
nents of the war, who kept up their op-
position, and gave aid and comfort to
the enemy, after the war was declared.
Mr.. B1chanan's assailants occupy po.
sition at the present time which has
striking parallel in that unpatriotic class
of opponents of the war Of 1912, who
