SPEECH OF AR. BUCHANAN,
In reply to a deputation Of tie Students {
Franklin and Marshall College,


On Friday. we learn from the Lancaster
Express that hundred students Of Frank
lin and MARSHALL College, paid formal
visit to Mr.. Buchanan. That gentleman
received them, and in reply to- a congrat-
ulatory address, said:
That he felt greatly indebted to his
young friends for their visit. He had the
assurance that, at least, their congratula-
tons were sincere, as they sprung from the
hearts of youth, which had not yet had
time tobecome corrupted and hardened in
the ways of the world. The bosom Of
youth was the abode of sincerity, apd it
was indeed pleasure and an honor to re-
ceive the warm outpourings of their hearts.
He said he had always felt a great solicit
ude for the interests of Franklin and Mar
shall College; it was noble institution, and
he was proud to be the President of its
Board of Directors. He was extremely
grati6ed to learn that it had fair prospects,
not only of a large number of students,
but of great usefulness. 1t was gratifying
to seelso large number of young men al
ready enrolled on its list of students. He
referred to their responsibility, reminding
themthat when the present generation had
passed away and been gathered to their ia
theirs, on them, the young men of to-day,
would rest the responsibility of forming
and administering the future government
Of the country, and of preserving in fact
our glorious Union and Constitution. -
There was not, he said, young man
among them, however humble his position,
who might not aspire, with an honorable
ambition, to fill the highest Office within
the gift of the people; but.sin order to attain
to positions of honor, usefulness and dis
finction, they must remember that every
thing depends on themselves. They must
carve out the; Future from the opportuni-
ties of the present. Kind parents and
friends have afforded them rare opportuni-
ties eof acquiring that knowledge which

End Of Great Hen.

Happening TO cast my eye upon pril-
ted page Of miniatures of portraits, the per-
sonares who occupied the four most con-
spicuous were Alexander, Hannibal. Caesar.
and Bonaparte. l had seen the same innu-
rlerabl times before, but never did the
same sensations arise in my bosom as my
mind hastily glanced over their several his
tories.
Alexander, after having climbed the diz
zy heights of his ambition, and with his
temples bound in shapeless forms, dipped
in the blood of countless nations, looked
down upon conquered world. and wept
because there was not another for him TO
conquer, set city on FIRE, and died in
scene Of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonis-
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed
the Alps-after having put to flight the ar
mics Of the mistress of the world, and
stripped three bushels OF gold rings from
the fingers other slaughtered knights, and
made her very foundations quake: fled
from his country, being hated by those
who once exultingly united his name TO
that Of their god, and called him Hannibal.
He died at last by poi:oI, administered
by his own hand, unlamented and unwept,
in foreign land.
Cesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyed his garments in
the blood Of one million of his foes having
pursued to death the only riual he had on
earth, was misera5ly assassinated by those
whom he considered his earnest friends.
and in that very place the attainment of
which had been his gratest ambition.
Bonapar.., whose mandates kings and
Popes obeyed, after having filed the earth
with the terror of his name, after having
deluged it with tears and blood, closed his
days in lonely banihsment, almost exiied
from the world, yetwherc he could some
times see his country's banner waving over
the deep, but which could not bring him
aid
Thus thess four men, who, from the pc
euliar situation of their portraits, seemed to
stand as the representatives of all those
whom the world calls great-those four
who each in turn made the earth tremble
to its very center by his simple tread--sev-
orally died, one by intoxicaiion. or, as some
suppose, By poison mingled with his wine.
one suicide, one murdered by his friends.
and one in lonely exile. How are the mighty
fallen!
