ed Mr.. Buchanan last year, its reasons for
dstrus! and its statement of the probnble
contingencies which will lead it to oppose the
new Administration. Wecopy from the New
Orleans Delta of the 18th inst:
1--WE are charged bv the Republican with n
predetermined opposition to Mr. Buchanan.
We have had no such pre- determination, and
our position now towards the new President
grows out oil his own acts and words, the
complexion of his Cabinet and the policy
which II foreshadows. Our course in the
same regard hereafter will be resultant from
the contemporary policy of Mr.. Buchanan, not
pre.meditated; if we shall oppose him, our
antngonism will not be the consequence of
our own foregone choice, but will be ne
cessiated by the counses of his own choos-
ing aud the deeds of his own doing. We
candidly confess, however, that we anticipate
u necessity for opposition. When he was
nominated we felt assured that he would
never make n President whom we could un.
qnalliiedly approve rs independent journalists
and advocates of the best interests of the
South above all party or national considera-
ton. We supported him, as preferable to
Fremont, and because we feared the South

margin.
I'VE are committed to no opposition to Mr..
bnchannn but what is conditional The hy
pothrses upon which we based the probability
OF Southern opposition to his Administra-
ton have thus far been abundantly realized.
Our diagnosis has always preceded our prog
nosls, and up to this we believe we have erred
IN neither. MIR. Buchanan's Cabinet il not
healthy one, for the South ut least, and we

symptoms, and have warned against the in

ANEcDorE OF GEORGIA JUpGE.-In
l85--, there WAS tried in the - Circuit of
Georgia, case of involuntary manslnughter,
in the expressive language OF n witness, the
accused while drunk, pulled out his knife,
and "soshing it about" struck the deceased
in the abdomen. The attending physician
being called to the stand to make the usual
proof of the nature and extent of the wound,
testified, shat the knife entered the lower
portion ofthe abdomen, penetrating the per
itoneum, and thence extending through the
omentum, to the vicinity of the iliuc 10.
glons." The clerk, to whom all of this was
Greek, inquired Of the Solicitors General il
he desired that portion of the doctors tesii.
mony taken down. The Solicitor anticipa.
ting some fun, replied in the affirmative, and
requested the doctor to repeat it slowly
which he did, in language if possible, more
incomprehensible. Old Judge A., losing his
accustomed suavity Of manner, impatently
exclaimed. "Dactor, stop, for Gods sake,
stop; if the man was cut in the CUTS say so, Sc
the clerk can put it down."
The doctor has since studiously avoided
the use of technicalities in the presence Of
the unlnitated.
