A Beautiful Spectacla.

The noblest trait of human character, is
true magnanimity. This is the crowning vir-
tue of our new President. He has heart
above the petty jealousies and rivalrics that
are SO common; he can disregard and forget
past dissenson3, and receive to his confidence
those who contcnded against him. He has
just now. ncbly illustrated this in the appoint
ment of bis Secretary of State. Mr. Bu-
chanan and Gen. Cass were rival candidates
for the Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dcncy They opposed each other firmly and
with determination, but their contest was
honorable. Now Mr.. Buchanan magnari-
mously ovcrlooks the past opposition of Gen.
Cass, and invites him into a most intimate
confidential relationship. There is something
grand in the contemplation of this union Of
moral worth and intellectual greatness. in the
administration of our government. These
two venerable patriots stand as glorious mon
uments Of thc palmicst days of the American
Senate They are the last remaining links to
connect us with the golden age of Webster,
Jackson. Clay. Calhoun. La their hands no
one can doubt that the honor of our country
will be jcalously guarded. and that she will
match on in her bright Path of prosperity
Without waiting to hear true policy, Swallowed

our Ship of State is we'll manned, and has a
