BUCHANAN AND WEBsFER~-Soon after
the great cxpounder had discharged one oil
his heavy guns in the United States Senate,
a gentleman was extolling hun to Buchanan
"Yes," SAID the latter, she is great states
man, but no politician" The same indi-
vidual met Mr. Webster q few days subse-
quently, and improved the occasion to elicit
bis opinion of the philosopher of Wheatland;
and singularly enough, he said of Buchanan,
''He is great politician, bat no statesman" "

that he was always actaated hy the high

We echo hearty amen and believe the

On the whole, this Farewell is as cool
aud complete specimen of compound con-
ccit, hypocrisy, insolOncc and falsehood, as
we remember 10 have ever seen. 1t is en-
iy equalled by some of Bowman's fornses
productions. "ET7Or Of jadgment and aoi
of tie heart" forsooth True, he has a
heart; mascle which, by its contraction,
and dilation, propels the blood through his
body; but as for Heart in The sense he has
used the word, as synonym for conscience,
for courage, aud love, aud affection, and
friendship, he has none of il. A niicrosco.
PIC examination Of his twenty-five years
course OF editorial blasphemy aud hypocrisy
personal abuse, yilli6cation and slander
would not develope the slightest trace of it.
All the finer feelings, all the nobler pas
sions of the heart, if nature ever gave him
any, are gone, wasted, destroyed, long since.

Bowman's editorial career. This docu-
nlent, BY its nauseous self-Praise fairly lays
him open for it. But II would not be pleas
aut to us, personally II is difficult to fol-
low a hog through the mire without your
self becoming somewhat soIled'
Besides, that for which Bowmaf's ca
reer has been more especially Infamous,
would require in its present exposure the
! introduction of the names of worthy indi-
vidnas who are yet living in our a.idst. and
OF others whom we have lately consigned
to their long last sleep beneath the green
sod Of our quiet erave-yards, whose mesae-
ries are dear to their families and triends
residing amongst us. We refer TO the nu-
merous instances in wAich, disregard1ng all
social ties, he has dragged the personal prl-
vate life of the individuals whose political
views and vote did not suit him. into his
press, and there befoaled them with vile
falsehools and calumuies, the coinage oil
his own brain, and this for the purpose OF
wounding the feelings of the individual and
lesseuing ais private and personal standing
and infiucSce.
The fact is, BoEman was good Parti-
zan, IN The iorest sense IF that rord. Ma
ture made him bigot; his linsted eiuea-
tion confirmed him such During tue
greater part of his 1ifc he neither had, nor
desired, any social, moral or religious ties
His party was hts all to bim. For it be la
bored ut its vilest work; by IT he lived. 1t
was his society; its rules were bis standard
of ethics it was Lis World. No matter
what its DEGREES, nor b. what trickery
brought about, he never doGbte&. Like an
ass with blind bride on. be dragged his
load at the command of bis driver right on
ward, unable to see Love, and Charity, and
Truth, aud Friendship, and Morality aud
Religion, Fastening npOH either side to OPP
pose his progress.
As to the selections or extracts with
which the Gazette was garnished during
Bowman's regime, theJ were queer specl-
mems of want of taste, or rather of per-
yerted taste. So thoroughly disgutiDg and
demeralizing were they, that We have heard
his party friends complain, that they dis
liked to have them brought under the eyes
of their wives aad children. Feal murders
and rapes figured couspicuously- For the
rest, horrible accidents, bloody riots, and
snake and fish stories, generally suficed.
If the missicn of the Press be tc raise the
standard of intelligence, patriotism and mo-
rality among tie people, we thiuk any can
did man Of whatever party, who trys the
Gazttte of the last twenty-five years by that
test, will pronounce it n wretched failure
Nay, worse. Surely it has been positive
evil. Instead of building up, 1t has drag
ged dowa-
A disgrace to lis Party, and to the Coun-
ty of Bedford, we are glad to take our
leave Of it.

A Man Proposing TO Marry Another
Man-Ante MOrtem Examina-
tsnn

| Some time ago, il will be remembered, o
siDgularcase came up IN the Richmond iVa.)
Courts, in which a youag man, named Lips-
comb, sued aaother young nan, NAMED
Thomas Linton, for breach of promise.
Linton it seems, was of sach remarkable
feminine appearance, that bis friends easily
persuaded Lipscomb that he was feaale
in disguise, and so enamored did he be-
comc Of Linton as to ask and receive a
promise of marriage, which, of course the
latter was unable 10 fulfil. But on attempt
ing to explain why he could not 'come to
tiane,' the fond 'lovyer' wouldn't believe a
word of it, and in fali belief that his mann
orata was woman and nothing short, he
sued for breach of promise. The case ere
ated no little excitement in Richmond.
An examination by Eve experienced ply
sicians was ordered by tie Court, so that
there should bo no possibility of mistake,
aud they reported that Linton was undeubt-
ly man; SO LipseoaAb lost his lady-lovo
and his iawsxit-
Linton has recently arrived in this city,
and such was his wOeRanish appearance that
suspicion was created as 10 Lis sex, and the
Gusrds were about to arrest him, and would
have deue SO bat for the intertereace of o
person who knew the youag nGan. Last
night Linton again got into trouble, through
falling into the hands of a party Of young
men who believed him To be sailing under
false colors, and were atoWt TO have an ex-
animation to test the matter. a gentleman,
cognEaat of the histcry of Linton, happen
ed to be present, aud upon his representa-
ton Linton WAS set free. Feminine beauty
wonld seem to be anything but a desirable
gift fer man-

last Saturday that she should not marry.
Upon this announcement she fell, as if

and lamentations, startled the entire neigh

When there, she continued to rave, and

too, TO bind her to the 6oor, else she would

Nor BAD.-Four professional. gentle
men, the other night, drove several miles up
the river to an eligible spot for bathing.
The night was fine, they were in fine SPIRITS
aad having left their clothes in the car
riage, we're shortly laving their fine persons
10 the river, with sensations peculiarly sne.
So absorbed we're they in the pleasures OF
the river bath, that they lad wandered to
some distance, when cue of them nxclains-
ed, eThe horse is running off, They ran,
but the horse would not stop: though he
had nothing IN the carriage but their clothes,
he felt under the imperative necessity OF
conveying them home! 1t was about one
o'clock when the celored servant Of one OF
the gentleman heard 'massa's carriage COM
ing,' and went out to put it up. What was
his horror TO find no uassa in the carriage,
but only certain suits Of clothes. With
chatteriag teeth he ran to inform rlisses that
massa was murdered or drowned Misses
sagaciously surnised the truth, and de-
spatched l4ia, back with the carriage. AT
ter half hours drive, Sanibo distinctly
saw ghost ahead, of whose aeshy nature
he was suspicious The apfarition now
swiftly aud stealthiy approached till ncario
opposite, when ii spraug from the road-side
and grasped the horses head, crying Whoa"
Sambo was glad it was massa, and the two
returned to tue disconsolate party. They
were in bed-the river ted-profeundly
debating whether it were better to await
the doubtful return of the carriage, OF abash
the virgin moon BY running to their several
places of abode, at the imnIinet risk of be-
ing knocked down by the watchmen. The
carriage relieved them; anu having dressed,
they sped to their anxious wives in great
glee, and with many mutually exchanged
oaths that not syllable of the nights ad-
venture should be breathed to human be-
ing, least of all to report for newspaper.

1t is a most und0ubted fact that DIR. SAM
ford's gnvigorator, or Liver Remedy is one
of the greatest discoveries made in medicine
the past century 1t has been study of
the DIR. during twenty years practice TO find
tghlr particular organ, ,Vheu diseased, ,caused
the greatest nusabcr Of ills or paias,a his
conclusion is, that the liver is tie greatest
regulator Of the systeM aud tke aost liable
to disease, whi!c if kept free from disease is
preventative of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, gem
eral debility. &C., while last but far from
least We mention consumption; for ou: ex-
perience is that more cases of consumption
occur from diseased liver than from all 9TH
er causes pat together
Taking this to be correct hypothesis, we
have but to end remedy with which to
correct the liver, and we have cure of
nearly all the diseases we are saliect to by
simply using preventative. That the In
vigorstor is such a remedy, is beyond doabt
to all who try it,for its virtues are such that
for all complaints arising from liver derange-
ments, it is au uufailing remedy, while as
a family medicine, fer all diseases of the
stomach or bowels, which are caused in
greater or less degree by liver arrangement,
it is the safest, surest and most eficaeious
remedy knewn.-For sale BY DIR. Harry.
