E6~The students of Franklin and
Marshall College, Pa, recently paid Mr..
Buchanan a congratulatory visit. One
of their number was selected to deliver
a speech, to which Mr.. Buchanan re-
sponded. We give the following select
ion from Mr.. Buchanan's remarks on
the occasion, as shadowing forth the
main feature of his incoming admins
t~ration: "Mr. Buchanan remarked that
his election had been alluded to, and he
might be expected to say something on
that point. He had been elected to the
high and responsible Office of President,
and he thanked them most sincerely for
their congratulations; but whether the
event would prove to be a matter of con-
graduation, time alone can determine.
Without saying which party was right
or which was wrong, the fears of the
''father of his country" had at last been
realized, and we now behold a sectional
party-one portion of our Union arrayed
in political hostility against the other.
The object of his administration would
be to destroy any sectional party-North
or Southland harmonic all sections
of the Union under a national and con-
sentative government, as it was fifty
years ago. Unless this be done, the
time may come when these sectional an
imosities which now so unhappily exist
may break up the faircst and most per
feet form of government the sun ever
shone upon. But he trusted that the
same Power which had watched over
and preserved US in the past, willcontin-
ne to smile upon us and make us a pros
porous, united and happy people: In
conclusion. he said, thati if he could in
any degree be tAe-hondred instrument
of allaying this sectional excitement and
restoring the government to the princi-
pies and policy of the fathers, he would
then feel that he had not assumed the
arduous duties of the Office in vain"

Fhe russian Postomce.

The Memorial National of st. Peters
burg, gives the following details of the
p~ostoffce establishment in Russia:
In 1926 there were only 6O3 Offices in
the country; now the number is upward
of750. The extent of ground run I'VE
by the mail conveyance was, in 1925,
only 10000 900 of versts fthe verst is a
little more than f~ve-eighths of a mile);
in 1850 that extent had increased to
$4,000, 600. There are now throughout
all the Empire, regularly organized roads
for the post, with 1850 stations for re-
lays, and a staff of $3.50 employees
At the stations there ara kept $4,000
horses, 432 reindeer, 1,900dogs, and $50
boats and barges. In 1926, the number
of private letters conveyed was 1000, 900;
in 1885, 5000, 900; in 1910, 5000, 900;
in 1915, 10000, 900; and in 1850, 12,-
900, 600. The number of letters and
packets sent by the crown exceeds the
above. In this number are included all
packets sent under the governmentseal,
and in this category are comprised jour
nails, reviews, and correspondence of
learned societies.

The Future of Black ReDubli.
CnmiSm.

CAAAASAlA.
We noticed an article a short time
ago from the New York Journal o.
Commerce, giving an exposition of the
vote for President in 1852 and 80, by
which it was clearly shown hat the De-
mocratic vote has been steadily on the
increase since the election preceding this
last. Taking the figures of the Com
merce, we have no reason to fear the ul-
innate triumph of the enemies of the
South and the Constitution.
In an excellent article on "The Re-
suit" the Washington Union of a late
date likewise demonstrates the improba-
bility of this sectional faction ever &C
quiring control of the government
Previous to the election, as the Union
says, the Black Republicans claimed
with the utmost confidence that they
would sweep every free State; that New
York would go for them by $4,000 ma
jority yer the combined strength of all
opposition; that Ohio was theirs by a
still larger majority; hat Pennsylvania
would give 10000 majority; Indiana
and Illinois, each, not less than %, 900;
and that a Fremont ticket would be run
in some of the slave States; and though
they had not the hardihood to say they
expected to carry any of them, yet they
predicted a very strong vote now, with a
great probability that they would on a
future occasion carry some of the border
slave States for the Republican party!
And what has been the actual result?
They have lost Illinois, Indiana, Penn
s~ylvania, New Jersey, and California,
by absolute and large majorities. Tho
they obtain the electoral colleges in New
York and Ohio by a plurality vote, the
people of both those States have decided
on the aggregate vote against them and
their principles-the former by 10000,
and the latter by 10000 majority; and
tho same is the case in several other of
the free States, which they have carried
by a plurality. They have lost two
members of Congress in Illinois, five in
Indiana, eight, and probably nine, in
Ohio, ten in Pennsylvania, and twelve
in New York; and their present major
ity will not only be lost, but under the
elections that have already taken place,
they are in a minority in the new House,
with the prospect that they will be in a
still larger minority under additional
losses in the spring elections which are
yet to take place in some Of the States.
On the popular vote in the free States
there is an absolute majority against
them of 100000 votes, with almost a
unanimous vote against them in all the
slave States, as out of 100000 votes
cast in these States, the aggregate in all
of them for Fremont is LOO, or about
one in each 1000, which is the aggre-1
gate vote for the Black Republican can
didate, who, it was predicted, would OBJ
tain a strong one in several of those
and, in the aggregate vote of the
whole Union of 100000 votes, they
have about 1900, 900.

Mileage, &c.

Mr.. Kelsey, member of Congress from
New York, is preparing a bill to equal
ize the mileage of Congressman. The
sums now paid range from seventeen to
fire thousand nine hundred and sirty dol
lars per session. The bill proposes to
continue the present rate up to two hun
bred and fifty or five hundred dollars,
and after that to reduce it to ten cents
per mile. 1t also proposes to deduct
from the pay of members twenty-five or
thirty dollars per day, each for voluntary
absence from either house.

BA fraud in the manufacture of
flour has just come to light, says the De
troit Tribune, which is likely to lead to
extensive litigation and a serious depre-
citation of the choice brands of Michigan
flour, which has heretofore stood first in
the Eastern markets. The fraud con-
sists in the selling of Illinois red wheat
flour, by millers in the interior of the
State, for Michigan white wheat. 1t is
said that thousands of barrels have been
thus fraudulently disposed of, and that
New York merchants are very justly in
dignant at the cheat. The consequent
ces of this do not stop with the sale of
the flour on the market. 1t damages
the reputation of all the -four in the
State, and can hardly fail to dcpreciote
its value.

sg~"Ion," the intelligent Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sna
says, in a late letter:
"0Ir. Buchanan is certainly, as it now
appears, to arrive in Washington before
the 1st of February, and probably by the
10th of January. At this place he will
be better able to perfect. his arrange
ments in relation to the formation of his
Cabinet than at Wheatland. Still, it 81
believed thatas matters now stand, three
or four members of his Cabinet can lie
designated. There are certainly strong
indications that Gen. Cass will be the
Secretary of State, and that Mr.. Howell
Cobb will have the department of the
Treasury"

B1-The ~stupendous lie that the Dem
ocratic party, particularly at the South,
desired to extend slavery by the Kansas
Nebraska bill, is becoming more appa-
rent every day. Even the South repu-
dates the charge. Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, said, since the present
session commenced, II do not want the
extension of slavery; 1 have never con-
tended for it. IF I had the right tovote
to extend it by act of Congress, I would
not undertake to do so! l would leave
that to the choice of those who settle the
commonwealth" Senator Rusk, ofTex-

The Latest Foreign News.

Anxiety regarding the Herman, says
the n. Y. Tribune, has been relieved by
the arrival of the Fulton. The former
steamer, it appears, was compelled to
put back to Southampton, from an acct
dent to her machinery, and the latter
accordingly fetches her passengers and
mails. The particulars of the matter
will be found under the appropriate
head. The dates so brought are to the
18th December. The cargo of the Full
ton is very large. The Niagara and the
Washington had arrived out.
The political intelligence of Europe is
