It was thought, when the administration Of
Franklin Pierce expired, in 1858, that it present.
ed the most remarkable instance on record of
President coming into and going out Of power
with the general unsnimity of the public will.
A parallel with the succeeding admins.
tration, in reference to the unanimity of the pop
ular voice in its coming into power, does not, it
is true, hold good, Gen. Pierce getting all but
four States and MIR. Buchanan getting only a
little more votes than sufficient to elect him
But, in regard to the popular unanimty with
which he will be discarded from authority at the
close Of his term, Mr. BuchanAn's case will be a
still more decided one, according to Indications
thus far, than that OF Pierce.
There is this important difference in the two
cases. President Pierce's party stood by him
throughout his entire term,and dropped him only
when the time came for nominating successor
Mr.. Buchanan his own party got tired Of before
half Of his term had expired, and simultaneously
with the choice of a House of Representatives,
opposed to his policy, his former supporters ex
hibit signs of supporting, against him, his most
bitter political antagonist, who has just been tri-
umphant against both the administration and the
Republicans, in Illinois.
Another important difference between the rela-
tive situations of Pierce and Buchanan, politi.
coly, is that while the Southern members of the
party stood as a unit for the former,
to the last, they sadly;divided as TO the lat
ter. While discarded by the whole North, with
he exception of the Office. holders and recipients
Of administration patronage, Mr.. Buchanan, at
the-same time, finds the larger and more decent
portion of the South also deserving him-some
from principle, but more fIom policy, Buchanan
being deemed an old horse, dead or past further
using for their service. So the knowing ones,
more "sagacous and far seeing,'' of 1.-THE Democ-
racy," are now trying to make the best use they
can of circumstances, and for that end are turn
ing their attention to the just now rising star in
the political armament, the Little Giant of the
West, thinking they can manage him to ACCOM-
plish their purposes.
The Washington Union, the central official or.
gan of the Administration, stands up manfully
for its chief amid all his late reverses, and ex-
presses deep regret and chagrin at the recent ri
umph of the Presidents bitterest opponent, in
Illinois while the Richmond Enquirer, Gov.
Wise's organ, and the leading Democratic paper
in that section Of the country, is excessively iu
bilant thereat The Boston Post, Mr.. Buchan.

tive Office, has thus far had nothing to say inref.
to the election in Illinois, further than to
record the result. Col. Greene is unfortunately
subject to 6res from two opposite quarters-in
'front.' and in the rear from ''the hand that feeds
him. at W ashington, and from the masses Of
his party at home who sympathize with Douglas.
Fear of offending either keeps the Post silent
