From The London Times, Noe 49,
There s assurance in the long and able letter of
Pennsy lvaDian correspondent Of Saturday last
which We should receive With the most extreme salts
facticn, we're it not oyerlhrown by the nentary
which he appends to it. Mr.. Buchanan, as President,

nust not be measured by the standard OF the Ostend
manifesto.
We desire most earnestly to believe this. II il our
wish rs. America should have for her chief MAGISTRATE
man in every way calculated to secure the respect
and promote the beat interests of the nunity
which he presdes, and nothing could more disent de

interests than adherer &c to those doctrines OF the
supremacy Of might right, and of the justification
Of violence by arbitrarily assumed political ueces

shanan's principal advser will probably be Judge
Douglas Senator for the Northern state of loOs, the
repeater of the Missouri Compromise, and the ablest
and most interruptions advocate of Slavery extension.
The South has never been without obse luioas adj

made in its support end to employ against the inter-
ess Of those who rsied them power the very power
which they owe to them. Such men are known to
America, from the fexbiity of their political coun-
tepance by the homely but expess of Dough-
faces and it matters lttle 80 fa the interests of
freedom within and tranquility without the State are
concerned, whether the new Presidents Cabinet be
filed by Southern men, such a. Jefferson Davis or
Senator Toombs, or by Northern Doug hfaces only too
happy to be employed as their obsequious and unscru

We do not derive much comfort therefore, from the
assurance Of our correspondent that Mr. Buchanans
Cabin ct will not be excusivey Southern still lees from
he fear which he expresses that Slavery will be
tended, that flibustersm will be eebly resisted, and
that there will be want OF respect for foreign rights
and political ethics
This rs Just what Mr.. Buchanan's previous career
would lead Us TO spprehend and these are strange
reasons why should form of his AdminsI alton bet

In the frst place, there can be doubt that it will
be regarded, and justly regarded, by the South a
great AID tignal victory, Its importance being meas
ured by terror felt by the victorious party after The
defeat In Maine by the enormous exertlons by which
alone 1t has been obtained, by the fact that it
gained the North for the first time active and
eped and by the great probability that this triumph,
signl as 1t Is, unless improved to their adv age,
may be the very last which the South is destined to
obtain.
The victory has been rather Of superior org aniza-

mainly promoted by the threats of disunion, which

Southern mind the necessity Of using the 1t four years
