FRIDAY. NOVEMBER e, 1857.
TO PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
IN HASTE!

DEAR SlR,.-As your Message TO
Congress is not probably closed up yet,
, we hastcn to give you the following
important suggestions. Adopt them,
and you will be covered with glory, &
&c reelected in spite Of yourself:
l. Raise the Tariff, and please the
North, and the manufacturers and nd.
vocatos Of domestic industry all over
the land.
2. Buy Cuba, or get Gen. Walker
to help you steal it--and please the
South. What right has Spain to hold
on to Cuba, when zee want it, & when
manifest destiny makes it ours?
8. AaRihilate tic Mormons, and
please the Vest, and "the rest Of
mankind" and 'cemankina especially,
(Which latter, as q bachelor, you arc in
honor boand to do, at least once in a
long life-time.) These lawless vaga-
bonds cannot longer be tolerated-and
as it will require two or three years
time, and millions Of money, to suLju-
gate them and their tawny allies, the
amount of money that you will need
for this scrvice--and for the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba-bcsides the ordinary
outlay for carrying elections, &C., can
only be raised by raising the Tariff to
the Wing standard. Never mind if
they do hint that it is Wing measure.
They won't dare to speak it out--and
1t will be all right, when they find it is
popular. We will stand by you, and
al! that we ask for this important ad-
vice, is chance to dip our spoon into
the public pap, by way of printing the
laws, treaties, &c. "by authority"
Follow our advice, and you will be
immortalized. Reject it--pursuc the
pitifu! policy of the past--and you may
30 to--Whcatland!

HOW THEY WORK.

a correspondent of the Baltimore
Clipper writes from Annapolis, (Md.)
Nov. 1G, as follows:
L learned from gentleman holding
Office III Washington, under the Gene
raj Government, that each and every
officer undcr the Government was tax
cd to nearly the amount of their whole
salary, last month, to raise funds to
send to Maryland to carry the election
III favor of the foreign party. Hc in
formed me that there was over twenty
thousand dollars sent to Maryland "to
defeat the id Know Nothings," to
use his own language.
a gentleman who holds a vcry high
position in the democratic party in
Baltimore, and who holds at this time
one Of the best Offices under the Gen
eral Government in that city, told me
hc was called upon a few days after
the election to make q contribution to
raise money to fire salute in honor
of the victory in the Sth ward, or Lin
crick, and he told the parties to 90 to
the ID that he never would appro-
pirate one cent to fire q salute for q
victory gained by as corrupt means as
we're used i'll the 9Th ward by the de-
mocratic party.

y correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer, writes from Washington,
under date of November 13, in reia-
ton to different topics, and says:
"Thc Hunger forces arc great

REVIVAL OF TIE OLD WING PARTY.

We have but little doubt that with
the first indications of the revival of
political strife in the United States.
there will be made an effort to bring
forth once more as the opponent Of the
Democracy, the now lfeless Wing par
ty, observes the Cincinnati Times
How far it will provo successful even
in its. organization, remains yet to be
seen, and depends in great measure
upon tho system adopted in placing it
before the people. .
And yet it isrcally strange that after
SO long a period, during which it was
supposed that the organization was
dead, after its funeral Grafton had been
pronounced in every State from Maine
to Louisiana, after all its enemies had
howled in triumphant dcrjsion over its
remains, that now the times are so ''out
of joint" that the issues Of tie Wing
party are being considered of sufficient
importance to demand the public at
tcntion, by way Of relief from the pres
sure weighing upon us. This feeling
is not, however, confined exclusively to
the old Wing journals of the day, for
even among the Democratic organs
there is disccrniblc strong desire for
some improvement in our CURRENCY
We have, 1t IL true, seen no plan as yet
proposed, but we shall not DC surprised
if it is the first question that will at
tract the attention Of our coming Con-
grcss.
That there is something rotten in
our financial condition, and the causes
that influence it no one can deny, and
that there should be an effort made to
remedy it, tho present condition Of af-
fare fully substantiates. The only
question is, how can VIC accomplish
such an o., ;ect and what course will be
most likely Ii the future to act as n
preventive. Viii we find it in the De-
mocratic doctrine Of "IIard Money
Currency" or in resorts the issues
once advocated by such Statesmen as
Henry CLAY or DANIEL WEBGTER /?
In the policy recommended by them,
protection to national industry and ali
institution acting as a regulator Of cur.
rency were the main questions; in their
behalf they devoted talents Of the most
brilliant character, but failed from op.
position to render q practical test of
the consequences that might have re.
suited from the adoption Of the issues
referred TO.
We have on a previous occasion adj.
verted to the necessity Of some protec.
ton to Our manufacturing interests,
and we hold that the present depres.
sion, traceable as it is to our heavy inn
portations, impresscs more than ever
this necessity foroibly upon us. Such
q pressure IS we arc nov subject to has
never visited us when proper safe.
