DARK SUsPIoIoNs.-The dark sus-
picions-which the late extraordinary
sickness in Washington seems to af-
ford some ground for--that the food at
the National Hotel was deliberately
poisoned by some lniscreant, for the
purpose of taking the life Of Mr..
Buchanan for a political object, afford
a theme Tor the most lamentable re-
Election. Can it be possible that
American politics have become 30 cor
rupt and debased and factions, so vi
cious and malignant, that the idea
could be cherished, even by the most
degraded OF its members, Of removing
the head Of the Government by death
from the scene of his labors, and thus
accomplishing a civil revolution
In monarchical countries, the thing
has been often accomplished with this
view, but the idea never has had a
practical Judgment in the minds ofany
Of our people, and we cannot and will
not believe it now. We are willing
to adopt any other hypothesis for the
Washington mystery than that it was
intended to compass the death of the
elective head of the American people.
1t surely can have no reliable founda.
