Tribute from the Enemy.

Gen. Webb. writing to the New York
Courier d Enquirer, says:
Judging Mr.. Buchanan, then, by his
Inaugural, we have abundant cause to be
satisfied with his intentions in regard to
the question of slavery In Kansas.
l have not space for extended argument
upon the other topics contained in the
Presidents inaugural; but adherence to
the foreign policy therein shadoweu forth.
cannot fail TO preserve the honor and peace
of the nation. And, in this connection,
it is proper to say, that not only is the new
Cabinet emInently conservative, but the
Chief Gen. Cass, has distinctly avowed,
in tie Senate chamber and in private con
versations. that it will be his paramount,
aim to preserve the kindest relations, con
sisient with the honor of the country be-
tween the United States and England; and
generally to repress that spirit Of law
lessness which exhibits iself in violating
our laws of neutrality.
What is said in regard to the Pacific
Railroad is most appropriate and JUS; and
secures, trust, the early completion of
that great work. demanded alike by the
great interests Of commerce, due regard

ciiic coast, and tie preservation of the

at was to be expected, from the ante

so in his inaugural, and, while we are
compelled to differ with him on this point,

acquiesced in by the country.
The other features Of the address

Coming Events.

1t has been properly said that coming
events cast their shadow before. Since the
elevation of Mr.. Buchanan 10 tie Piesi.
dency, the future has been most clearly
shadowed forth. Close observers have not
failed TO notice the indica ions of future
happy results to this couhtry. Elected up
on the broad grounds of union and pat
riotism, the sober second thought Of the
people is bringing to his support thousands
who hestated to yield il in the late can
vass. The wild dream OF the fanatic is
giving place to the influences Of waking
reason and calm Judgment. The Presi-
dert's Inaugural has dlssipated all ques.
tions as to his future policy. and the lovers
Of The Union are fast joining the ranks of
his supporters. All minor considerations
are yielding TO the great question of sus-
timing tie Union and crushing out its
enemies. In the North and South, East
and West, the principles of tic Inaugural
have met the most hearty approval. Strong
partizan papers have been compelled to as
sent to the cogent considerations which i.
presents. The number Of querulous black
republic lean dissents are almost too insight
cant to form an exception. The tone of
the great mass of the public press indi-
dates that all lovers Of the Union, in all
quarters, intend 10 sustain the new admin.
istration with sincerity aud efficiency. The
disunionis,s alone will be is opponents.
An administration thus sustained cannot
fail TO socure the most happy consequences
to our whole country. We have every in
dicaiion that coming evsnts, which are so
clearly foresha lowed. viii be fruitful in
blessings to tn. American people. and that
our free Institutions are destined to endure,
and produce those happy results coniem.
pla'ed by those who gave them form.

be in thought and expression. Indeed, We
maysay that alike in matter and in manner.
il reminds one of those sterling attributes
of good judgment and common sense
which characterized the State papers of
President Monroe; and we can only hope
that at the close Of Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
miuistraiion the comparison thus suggest
ed may extend not only to the weli-IeTl-
peled sentiment and unambiiious diciion
Of these two statesmen. but also to that
restoration Of good feeling which marked
The era Of the earlier President. and
which we fain hope will be the consciel-
tious aim of his veteran successor.
As, by the terms of the Constitution,

pecting the principles which should regu-
late our intercourse with o.her nations

The remarks of Mr.. Buchanan upon this
head. seem to be inspired by true con-
ceplion of international duty and honor.
and we hope that sentiments so just may
be the sure presage and augury of ar Ad-
ministra,ion no less remarkable for the
preservation of peace with foreign nations
than for the revival Of amiiy and brother
hood among the sister States OF our Ma

Inlaen e of Temper on Health.

Excessive labor, exposure TO wet and
cold, deprivation of sufficient quantities of
necessary and wholesome food, habitual
bad lodging, slo.h and intemperance. are
all deadly enemies to human life: but
none of them are SO bad as violent aud un-
governed passions Men and women have
survived all these, and at last reached an
extreme old age; but il may be safely
doubted whether single instance can be
70 md of man of violent and irascible
temper. habitually subject to storms Of
ungovernable passion, who has arrived at
a very advanced period or life. 1t Is.
therefo.e. matter Of the highest impor-

sound miad in sound body" SO that the
brittle vessel Of life may glide down the

Sweet Sister, Pray for Ne,

By CLARENCE MAY.
Oh, loy'd one, when thou kneelest
In sweet and silent prayer,
And off'rest up thy homage,
So free from worldly care;
When IN thy secret chamber
Is heard no voice of glee,
But when each thought is holy
Sweet sister, pray for me.
For, oh. my heart is wayward--
l cannot, cannot pray
With half that pure devotion
/ knew in childhood's day.
The worlds alluring vices
Its mocking vanity,
Has chang'd my young affections
Then, sister, pray for me.
Thy heart is pure and guileless-
Free as the mornings air
That watts those sunny ringlets
From off that brow, so fair
But mine, III. mine, sweet sister,
Is no more light and free;
Then often in thy prayers,
Oh, think and plead for me.
Yes, plead for me, dear sister,
When midnis hts holy hour
Reirns DER the world in silent
Yet strange and wondrous pow'r.
And tho now am sever'd
Far, far, lov'd one from thee,
Thy prayer may still be answered
That thou Inst breath'd for me!
