shed on the court greens Of the cotton States While
Walker is occupied in innocent spccch-making in
the Gulf States the administration is taking measures

citizens, all the desirable passages of Central
America, Mexico, and Nicaragua.
Not only has Mr. Buchanan most fully met the ex-
pecatons of the country of him in the thorough and
perfect in which he has settled these delicate
chronic and complicated questions which conspired
to embarrass him at the outset of his administration
but he has established title to the confidence
and gratitude of the country in .he satisfactory and
prompt manner in which he has settled the search
question with the British government So great was
his reputation abroad a statesm and dplomatst,
that the British cabinet met his demand for the re-
linqushment of that claim with the frankness
of ministers having confidence in the candor
and integrity of the government with whom they
were dealing. If Mr.. Buchanan had not been well
known to the British cabinet a Of probity
and uprightness of character, doubt if they
would have been half so unhesitating, prompt
or unequivocal in acceding to his demands. And
we think the country owes to the high personal
character which Mr.. Buchanan had established
at tho court Of ST. James, more than to any other
cause, the early and satisfactory settlement of con-
troversy which had subssted between the two gov
ernments since the first day that their diplomatic
relations had commenced
The confidence Of the people in the capacity, ex-
perience and character of Mr.. Buchanan great
before his administration began. His settlement of
four of the most difficult and delicate questions
which have ever arisen in the history of the
country, has made this confidence universal among
his countrymen and established it upon firm
and impregnable basis Politicians may Willy and
assail him the country may be made to ring from
end to the other with abuse and denuncation of
him but the confidence of the people in him will
manifest itself whenever it is tested in spite Of all
the clamor of his political foes. Supported by and
planted upon the abiding confidence of the people,
he can defy the politicians and
