Thu, /, Mr.. Buchanan pursued more unrelens'
NAL, than fox hunted by pack OF hounds bay
ips close upon bis heels. What can Dir. Bu'hanan
DEF Whittier can be fly He is Overrun at Wheat
hand and be 1es 70 Philadelphia. But he Is Ja's as
much be,ieged there. The relief the city affords
Inn 10 that he can dodge more and be " not At
hoR.e more. Besides, he saves more OF his oeci
and mutton. Indeed, he was beng eaten and drank
sut Of house and home at Wheatl4nd. His visitors
ran their visits not only in'o the grounf, but into
his cellar. They exhausted M. Buchsoan's larder,
his pantry and his patience. Poor DIR. Buchanan
Ne wonder he fed 70 the tavern and let hs v-i ors
put I'D themselves aud foot their own hotel bl Is.
Bat he must be dug out of bis present hi ling place
and come to Washington and be set out IN the SUD
Anime, where everybody can see him snd have pull
ut him. How long can he st4nd it, How long can
10 hive How soon will he de- Ifbeeyer gets ii ne
10 sleep, Goes he not sigh, re be sleeps,
"oh, carry ne b.et-ob carry sssI''
Cannot Mr.. Buchanan be let aIOnel Will not
The crowd stand back Shall he not have a chance
for bis liie' Why will MOI people remember thai
Mr.. Buchanan is 81 and a bachelor, and is he "not
ga man and brother" to boot 7
The virtue Of the Senate is apparently rising.
The bill to pay the grandchildren who did not fight
the prsno fathers battles in the Revolution, i1cud-
ing tee Presdent, is in danger in that body. Pugh
showed o msuly grit 10 coming out against it yes
tersay. He confessed to the same old tale told by
Stuart Of Michigan. He, too, hal been deluged by
letters from home begging him to vote for It, All
The SeDstors are over hemed by these IN ssi'es on
this, as they ard Members Of the House are on all
bills that take milton or more out Of the Treasury.
They are hatched here, feigod in the country, and
thence wiUg their way in clouds back here upon the
Members. Paeh stood up straight AVID talked Like
q man spainst the whole business Of robbing the
Treasury. Yet he demsgOgued little, but hndng
ne wss ding on the toes of some OF hs Southern
Pro-slavery pftderates, he he d up. But M
Pushs instincts seem to be good on stealing, and
ws must approve hun thus far. The hopes OF the
.esant lac mainly in the tan men, We fancy. The
fat fellows generally go for such bills; sad 80 do
he saDeuineous. In choosing men for public sts-
tisp it is quite as important to take the gauge of
TIE stomach as the brains. The - round DE y With
seod capon lined" is soft in his corners, and hates
10 run against anything They float with the cur
rent too often, though 10 all rules there are eIcep-
tens We are reminded Of il here, now that We
think Of Preston King.
Yet, in regard 10 this particular bill the inquiry
prevail, bow can . three-mlion bid fail We
have beeo in the habit Of adding especially in the
Senate" But senstors indignantly decsre that the
Hease is worse and ono Of them, VINO ha, made It his
buslLtss TO watch the sterlLg bills these six or
ssyen years, says he has never kno IN o0e sh,k
ever twenty minutes 10 the HOu.e where is has
passed the Senate frat. IL is grabbed up, PuS on
is passage, and by the steam Of the previous qle'-
son ddven through in double quick time, like 8
lscenotive unhitebed from its tram.
The Pacific Railroad scheme got a handsome
Aoist ever into the slough yesterday, where is IL
kksly 10 shck in the mud for some time. }. sP.
