BUCHANAN IN IRELAND.-The Irish papers
are ia ecstacies over the election Of Buchanan.
\ Dundalk paper says =
''Ihe greatest news OF the week is the tri-
umplant election OF james Buchanan, the son
OF an 1rishlnan-of the old stock-as Presi-
dent Of the American Republic. Honor 10
the men WHO SUPPORTED his cause, and to those
who returned him by their votes, amongst
whom the Irish residents of the States stand
out conspicuous. On behalf Of the peo-
pile in this part of Ireland, we beg TO thank
the noble. supporters Of Buchanan for the vic
tory they have won. The rascally press
of England did its utmost by lies and SANDER
TO bldcken the character of Buchanan before
the American people, but it has utterly failed
in its vile object. The Democrats in America
are not going TO be gnided by the vile English
press. Its censure they accept as pr1ise, and
its praise they receive as censure. According
ly they have rallied round Buchanan, aud
borne him triumphantly 10 victory"
That's the way they talk oi Buchanan ard
his party in the .'ould counthry.'' It is easy
to see which party foreigners like.

was made to have him acquitted on the plea Of

the inycSti cations that the confidential, per-

were '.hand and glove with him in the street
and in his house. They associated with him
openly; drank his wine; cat his dinners =
drove his fast horses admired his pictures
and pretty women, hno;ciHg all the while that
he had committed forgeries enough to send

that the receiver Of stolen goods is as bad as

Tie Richmond Enquirer warns Mr.. Buchan-
an to beware of an attempt to form his Cabi-
net with view to satisfy the Free Kansas
that indicated by the late speech of Senator
Bigler. The South will permit no tampering
with Free Kansas people this Mr.. Buchanan
is given distinctly to understand by the En-
Quirsr.

Mr.. BGGLER's SPEEcH.-Senator Bigler's
speech OF December 9Th, is kicking up quite
a bobbery among the Southern supporters Of
Mr. Buchapan-not because of any especial
value in the speech itself, but because it is
supposed TO foreshadow the policy of the
Presiden; elect on the Slavery question.
The speech was essentially Free Soilish.-
The Senator declared that if he was himself
citizen of Kansas, he would vote against
the Introduction of Slavery there, and gave us
to understand that Mr. Buchanan would pur-
sue the same course; and that under the in
fuence which will be paramount in the early
future, Kansas is certain to become Free
State.
Southern Senators looked aghast when such
expressions as these fell from the lips of the
speaker; and the more they think of it, the
more they don't like 1t, and the more they
suspect in elccting Mr.. Buchanan they have
caught Tartar. So let it he. Mr.. Bigler
was dumb last week when the present debate
commenced; but the Electoral Colleges have
made up their record now, and the Senator's
tongue can wag fearlessly and free.

EUEoPE.-By the steamship Fulton, which
arrived at New York last Wednesday. we learn
that hostilitie5 are threatened between Spain
and Prussia; that Persia formally accepts the
declaration of war made against her by Eng
land. The market for breadstufs is dull, and
prices have declined.

INsURREcFIoSs.-The Southern papers are
filed at this time with accounts OF plots trea-
sons, stratagems and Llood. In Mississippi.
Alabama, Florida, Aaryllnd, Virginia and
Kentucky, ssplots have been discoycresi.' -
Some negro, whose testimony can not be Ia
ken in any case concerning L white man, is
brought mp, questioned, whipped, frightened
and then discloses terrible plot for an out
break. Some OF the accused are taken and
whipped to death. One received 80 lashcs
y dispatch from Louisville says an affirmative
vote passed in the crowd in relation to the ne
grocs Of the Joyce family, that they should be
burned, but the determination was not carried
out. The New Orleans Crescent. Of the 2lst
Dec, says that sat Jackson, Miss, p negroes
have been arrested. Excitement intense: the
particulars Of it, hard TO obtain; and although
universal, its origin and foundation ar. very
difficult to Ascertain Fear is not only cricl.
but suspicious.

kASsAs--A Washington correspondent of
the Tribune, writing under date of Dec 3Oth,
says that party OF South Carolinans from
Kansas had just passed through that city, re-
turning home and abandoning that Territory
as presenting no hopes TO their political enter
prise or personal fortunes. They and others
from the South relnquish the experiment as
desperate, and complain Of the limited mate
rial aid furnished by their own section.

The Woodwork patent for lumber planiug
which has been so long subject of litigation,
and which was once extended Icy Congress,
expired on the 26th Dec, and we have no
information that it has received any further
attention from the National Legislature. 1t
is, therefore, public property.

WAsHIsGToS AFFAIRs.-TAe Circuit Court
Of the United States, fer the District of Co
lumbia, on the 81 inst, governed by the dccf-
sious OF the Supreme Court, refused the petit
tion of Richard ". Thompson for writ of
IEanianus to DC directed to the Secretary of
the Treasury commanding him to comply with
tho act Q: Congress appropriating 40,5OO dol
lars for services rendered By Thompson 10 the
Menominee Indians. Mr. Thompson, in his
memorial, charges that Mr.. Guthrie caused
the case TO be referred TO the Attorney Gen
eral or certain questions which did not consti-
tutionaliy and legitimatcly enter into it, and
Mr. Guthrie, By direction Of the President, in
forms Mr.. Thompson that the money cannot
be paid without the consent al the Ienomi-
necs freely gwen; and that the law of Con-
grcss was not in compliance with the memori-
al of these Indians.
The reports that Gen. Gas. will be Secretary
Of State under the new Administration are pro-
nounced incorrect. 1t is understood from ex-
cellent authority that he has been offered the
position and declined accepting it.
