lists, as controversialis.s. with his pre-
c,us self. This sharp and ably written
letter successfully attacks the points
made BY the President, and ovcrthrows
his positions, one by one, until the read.
er's pity Is excited for the unhappy pre-
dicament of Mr.. Buchanan and while
one is a1mirins the logic, the good tenn
per, the strong points, and the good
taste displayed in this reply, at the same
time ne will thank the President for the
occasion which called it forth. Sharp
ness for trade, and aptitude for bargains
are 10. the only traits of character b,
which Connecticut citizens will hereafter
be noted The scholars and civilians
