MIR. Buchanan is disposed to sustain Geary,
who is his personal friend, and in whom he has
unbounded confidence. But the question is a
two-edged sword, and involves not only Geary's
vindication, but Lecompte's disgrace. There
is the rub. If one could be sustained without the
condemnation and removal of the other, there
would be no dihoalty in satisfying the Govern
o.; but as the case stands, Judge Lecompte's
personal and political friends are very active
against Geary,-a the South is ardent in favor
of Lecompte, who, they urge, is attempted to be
stricken down for maintaining the supremacy of
