20 suppose they would have tagged be-
fore the conclusions Of the race. but who
ever entertained so natural an idea are
doomed to sad disappointment; for il
seems as though detection in one, only
sharpens their appetite for another still
greater. 1t is not long since it was found
necessary to reiute the charge that The
prominent Democrats of Washington CT
ty contemplated the withdrawal OF MIR.
Buchanan from the Presidential contest,
but that was hardly accomplished before
our Protean. opponents reproduced the
same ssnseless falsehood in another shape,
as viii be seen by the following, which
We copy from the Baltimore Patriot
Withdrawal of Mr.. Buchanan.
1t is stated that Mr.. Breckenridge re-
ally made a proposition to Mr.. Buchanan
at the Wheatlands, yesterday, on the sub
ject Of his withdrawal. The plan is to
get Mr.. Donelson also to withdraw, aud
unite the Democratic and the American
tickets in the persons of Fillmore and
Breckenridge. Such ticket Mr. Brock
inridge thinks will be likely to succeed
against Fremont and Dayton. What is
to be done about the two platforms does
not appear. Nor have we learned what
response Mr.. buchanan made 10 the pro

Mr.. Buchanan does not possess sufficient
of the old Roman virtue Of self-abnega'

~ With what cool impudence the editor
