The nonoflicial programme of Mr.. Buchanan is
the theme OF much interest. Appearing side by side
with the "last speech and dying confession of him
whose chair the successful candidate Is soon destined
TO occupy, it has been perused with no ordinary Gu
fiosity, and the opinion every day gains strength
that the new President, like many of his predeces
sors will in his administration find greater favor
from those who opposed his election than fro those
who the most zealousy promoted Il. An idea pre-
vsils possibly founded in ignorance, that the Sec
tonal difference has, however, arrived at such a
point in America that in spite of Mr.. Bu;hauan's
desire and acknowledged ability he will be utterly
unable TO establish concord unless some common
danger, some common enemy, should appear the
Deus machina. pretty quarrel, for instance,
with worthy foe, in which tho native patriotism of
the United States could be properly evoked, might
render Mr.. Buchanan the most important aid in the
task which he believes 70 be tue proper mission OF
his Presidency. But without some exraneous ASSIST
ance Of this character IL seems to be thought that
the late election has too deeply stirred up the lees OF
prejudice and supposed material interests, well
that the tenure of the Chief Magistrates Office Is
TOO brief, TO hope that tho impending danger OF m
irreparable schism will be eficctually warded of.
From England one hears nothing but one universal
shout Of gladness at the turn which affairs are

cipal leading statesmen Of Great Britain, and

of qualification which psrades the sentiments
OF all when speaking Of the hoped for heament OF
the last ugly sore the enlistment ball inflicted IL is
said that Lord Palmerson especially deses 10 have
the opportunity OF stating az the opening of Par
lament in February that ambassadors are again re-
eiprocially exchanged between America and his go
yernment and thus have set OF egainst the Official
intimation that England is more at war, IL not
with Russia. at least with her neghbor and protegt.
The note published In the Mon'fsW respecting the
determination of the government on the Neuchatel
question, Is, as you may imagine necessarily topic
OF warm discussion. IL is universally attributed To
the Emperor aud by very large class pointed to az
a manifest indication Of that weakness and depar-
ture from his once happy strength OF mind which
report has from time 70 time alleged against his
Majesty. The republicans u a man, as may he sup
