NEW YORK HOTEL ARD HIRAM
CRANSTON

II is pleasant to turn from the graver to the
lighter duties that belong to our profession.
When the head has been racked with thought,
and the heart soured with the thousand and
one annoyances that oppress it wherever we
turn in the political cycle to pay just and
faithful tribute to the excellence Of a friend Is
truly grateful.
Hotel proprietors, like men Of our vocation
pass their lives in efforts to please the public
and glad we are to know that theirs is not as
thankless an Undertaking as our own.
We seldom get anything but kicks and cuffs
for our pains, while they sometimes find guest
who is grateful for the. relief a little kindness
gives him, when far from his home and
friends. Such has been our good fortune at
the New York hotel where we have passed
the last ten days. We do not mean to be in.
vidious, for we have met generally with kind.
ness wherever we have stopped, but never have
we, before, acquired anything Of home feeling
in hotel, until our fortune brought us TO the
"New York." In the first place, il is delightful
house-well and handsomely furnished with.
out offending good taste by too hashy and
gaudy display. The chambers are delightful.
The dining hall the finest we have seen in this
Countrywide No. !, charming room ad
joining, is set apart for the conyivial assem-
bling at the dinner hour Of the agreeable gen.
tlemen who reside permanently in the house,
and around whose festive board there are as
many good things said as eaten.
Our friend, Crapston, for such we shall ever
term him, is gentleman whose good taste and
quiet, refined manners, arrested our attention at
once. Indeed he would be taken by stranger
as the latest arrival in the house, so entirely is
be free from the usual and not altogether agree.
able bustling manner of the landlord The
"New York" seems 70 be the Buchanan head
quarters, as it is thronged with his friends,
among whom, we have shrewed suspicion, there
are several Hards and Soffs, but we will say
nothing about this just now. Nous rerrons,
as our old friend, Mr.. Richie, used to say.
The society ladies and gentlemen) Of the hotel
is really delightful, and every section Of the
country seems to be represented here, as well
as every profession. 1t seems to be favorite
resort Of tho army officers, among whom we
we're pleased to see, in restored health, our
friend Major Joe Selden--a man who has done
more service than any man Of his rank in the
army, and is nothing yet but poor captain,
while those of far less merit are shot up so fast
you can hardly see them. EaUoritism under
old Buch. must be crushed out.
But we cannot close this hasty and very i'm.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC BUCHANAN
DELEGATES.

A convention Of the third Congressional dis.
uicof Mary Hand, composed Of FIVE delegates from
the first eight twards ofthe city, and the FIVE lower
districts Of Baltimore county, for the purpose
Of selecting two delegates to represent that
Congressional district in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, to be held in Cincinnati, in
June next, was held in Baltimore on Wednes-
day last.
We learn from the Baltimore Sun that "a
motion requesting the gentleman in nomina-
ton present to define their positions, having
been adopted, Messrs. Buchanan and Carman
addressed the convention, each declaring his
FIRST choice to be James Buchanan, Of Penn
,ylvania."
Resolutions we're then offered provid-
ing that the delegates sent to Cincinnati
should 60 unpledged, or without regard to
'nelr individual preference. These resolutions
pe1e 'd,d upon the table By an almost unani.
Ihe delegates elected from that district are

and william Byrnes, esq, Of Baltimore city.

while, we doubt not that the God who shapes
the destinies of men, and has hitherto out
stretched his arm to beckon on the cohorts OF
American Democracy, will plant the standard

Of Central America will hail it in the full blaze

From the Washington Union of Friday, April, 4
MIR. Buchanan.


Some discussion having taken place upon
the position of Mr.. Buchanan on the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill, we are permitted to copy The
following extract from letter addressed by Mr..
Buchanan to Senator Slidel dated London, on
the 28th of December last, when there seemed
to be no difference as to Mr.. BIS thorough
identity with the Democratic party on this, as
on all other issues. 1t will be seen that Mr..
b. speaks of the Kansas Nebraska bill with his
usual frankness and decision. We are con-
firmed in our impression by this letter that no
man, no set of men, and no newspaper, are at
all warranted to speak authoritatively for Mr..
Buchanan upon this or upon any other ques-
tion. His own words speak for themselves.
The letter of Mr.. Buchanan was not, it will
be seen, intended for publication, but The gen.
tleman to whom it was addressed has thought it
necessary, after the editorial article in the
Union of Wednesday last, to lay it before the
country
"The question has been settled by Congress,
and this settlement should be infexibly main
tanned. The Missouri Compromise is gone and
gone forever. Butno assault should be made upon
those democrats who maintained it, provided
they are now willing in good faith to maintain
the settlement as it exists. Such an understand
ing is wise and just in itself.
at is well known how llabored in company
with southern men to have this line extended
to the Pacific ocean. But it has departed The
time for it has passed away and verify believe
that the best--nay, the only-mode now left Of
! putting down the fanatcal and reckless spirit Of
| abolition at the North is to adhere to the exist
| ing settlement without the slightest thought OF
appearance of wavering, and without regarding
any storm which may be raised against it,"

B6s- The sergeant of Brigadier Pierce, in
an article headed Mr. Buchanan and the Penn
sylrdnian, in the Union Of the I'd inst, particu-
larly defines the responsibilities of the master
for the writings and doings Of bis slave. But
as Mr.. Buchanan had no slaves to be response
bic for, it is decidedly malicious and wicked in
the aristocratic chief Of the Union, his Ex.
cellency Franklin the First, to insinuate that
the courageous and able editors Of the Rennsyl
rdnidn may not exactly have their free papers,
and are obliged even now to write at the die
tation Of master. We have not been long
for Old Buck for the Presidency, and we con-
fess that since We have seriously thought OF
him that we breathe easier and freer. We have
nobody to consult as to the propriety Of this OF
that step, nor have We any nervous gentlemen
who lose their sleep because we speak Of things
as they are.
We can, therefore, with much feeling and
sore experience Of Washington tactics, advise
all young men Of energy, talent, independence,
and will, to join our movement They will be
SO charmed by their new position that there
will be no danger Of their being oppressed with
the Central Washington Collar Each upon
his own hook can constitute himself guerrilla,
and court or fight, as be may think best, with.
out the fear Of being called up and reprimanded
There is 10 the movement great number Of
good hearted old fogies, who look good na.
turedly and quietly upon the 6ght.
There is also a younger, out-spoken set, like
the Richmond Examiner and RennsylUanian,
that we like very much. There is another set
that We like to see occasionally, although they
look pale, and observe death-like silence upon
our conduct. But there is still another set, and
we are not sure that we like these the best Of
all !; for il there were any doubts as to the per
feet independence Of the Buchanan movement
they would dissipate them for the right good
style in which they wool each other.

BE- SAYS the Washington Union:

1t is no part of the creed Of Democrat,
as such, either to advocate or oppose the
extension of slavery. He may do the one or
tile other, in the exercise Of his rights as
citizen, and not offend against the Democratic
fealty."
Very well. Now, under this rule, what is
the difference between Wilson, Sumner, Sew
ard, and Chase, on the one hand, and Cass,
Douglass, Bright, and Dickinson, on the
other? Is not one as good "a Democrat" as
the other? Four of these gentlemen merely
"oppose the extension of slavery" the other
four say it is none Of their business-it is the

place is the plains of Kansas. He did not pro-
pose to organize hostile force to take treas
enable ground against the government; nor
was it ofany use to send few emlgrants there
to be robbed and murdered, as others had been.
He said it was necessary for the great and
wealthy North to raise S2.000,000, in order
that 10000 men of character, with strong
hearts and strong hands, might be placed upon
those fertile plains, as actual settlers, and be
provisioned for one year. That number once
there, determined to maintain their rights, and
there would be no more disturbances, no more
murders, and no more border ruffians in Kan
sas. The North could do it and though it
would cause some sacrifice from individuals,
it would be nothing compared with what had
been suffered by the settlers of the Territory.
The great interests of the North and of the
Union, and of every individual, demand it,
and he hoped there would be no pause in the
movement till Kansas and the empire behind
her should be redeemed from Pro-Slavery
Ruffianism.
