New GOVERNOR OF MISSEsorA-
Medary, Esq, we'll known for many years as
editor Of the Leading Democratic paper in
Chic, "The Statesman" has received this
important appointment from Mr.. Buchanan.
The appointment is highly approved by Mr..
Medary's political opponents, one Of whom
says:
"ile has more of the genial and the gencr-
Gus in his composition than are possessed
most men; and we doubt whether either his
Democratic associates or his Wing antego-
nists have ever given him credit for the abli-
ty or the energy for which he is really diStn-
guished. We are satisfied that the new
Governor Of Minnesota is well qualified for
his position, and that the appointment will
he as acceptable TO his political opponents as
his own party friends in Ohio.

0FAs an illustration Of the abuses and
extravagances at Washington, We find that
Congress has appropriated t,centy seren thousand
dolIars-more than the whole salary of the
Ptesident--lor lighting the Presidents house
end grounds for the year 1857. That is they
give Mr.. Buchanan more to buy his candles,
than he is allowed to feed and clothe his
whole household and maintain the extenual
dignity and proprieties Of his Office The
people, who pay for so much light, ought to
have an enlightened Administration; and such
wasteful acts ought to reflect some light upon
the character Of the men who represent us in
Congress, and hold the purse strings. Mr..
Buchanan at the time, belonged to the party
that condemned j. Q. Adams, on a false
chargs. of sluandering So5, 900 in furnishing
the WhitS House 80 years ago; and he now
accepts S27,ooo, for the illumination Of it.

alarming character. Bombardmcnt of Canton
