THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The Presidential election is over. Well, everybody
knew that. 1t took place last Tuesday. We'll, every
body knew that. The sovereign people, the high
mi ghtinesa rulers of country commonly called the
United States. situated somewhere in the Western
hemisphere-locality not precisely recoected-have
seen fit to elect James Buchanan a toerahy clever
old Pennsylvania bachelor, to the chief office of the
aforesaid United States, notwithstanding divers and
sunlry wise and patriotic individuals, foremost among
whom the editors Of the Crescent, told them
! time and again that he was 'nt the nlan-that the
other man who lived over in York State thc man.
the only man, and % nothin shorter. But the obsi
nate fellows would mt hearkcn to words of TRUTH
tences Of glowing patriotism, and whole paragraphs
ncucating undying love for their country. No they
wouldn't. Strange! They have - just been and gone
and done it., and don't appear to care brass button
about The ruin they have brought upon toploftical
pectntons and supcrfluons genius. Hard hearted
people these. They never sucked the breast whence
the milk Of human kindness was repued to flow,
Or else they would never have been so cruel.
But, everybody knew that,' says an impatient
reader. who never will find out what are driving
at. Very true, sir ; We accept your apology 1t is
noble and manly to apologize when one is convinced
he is wrong. Apologizng under such circumstances
deycopes the highest traits of the human character
Besides, it is harder to apologize than to fight. Now
