Walker near him, ! viii rive up The argument
He has been the cause of the loss Of more in
anocent lives than any other man of our day
and time lie has inflicted unheard-of mjnries
upon our countrymen in Central America; and
now he is about to 60 forth on a new expedi
tion of rapine and spoil. Alternating III tht
bands of one speculator and then of another,
he goes with any one who is ready to pay him
the most. / am of the opinion that nothing
will ever be done to effect peacefnl settle
ment of this question until the spectators are
got rid of and Walker is punished, as he de
serves to be- The whole affair is eminently
disgraceful to the country.
The statement that Mr. Buchanan is ready
TO make peace with Judge Douglas is false
He does not intend it, | speak of what !
know An instance in proof Of this ass rtion
may be cited: Only day or two before tha
election in Illinois he removed from the post
Office, at Jerseyville, in that Stat Mr. c. S.
Jackson, well known in your city, where he has
resided for years, and where he is very respect
ably connected. CauSe-his attachment TO
Douglas
What renders Mr. Buchanan more furious,
however, is the awful manner in which he has
been deceived by Cook, Lcib, and Carpenter,
the men to whom, by the advice of Cobb and
others, he has confded in Illinois. The son of
Senator Fitch, of Indiana, was another of those
worthless. Il He was the especial calumniatOr of
yourself and Others and his speeches, coarse
as they were, were transferred to his own home
organ in Georgia, the 1thfns Banner and edi.

says the endorsement was sent from the Treas
ury Department by Clayton himself That
these men, armed with all the powtr of the
Federal Government, melted to labor from
here, and written to by members of the Cabi-
net, and even by the President himself, have
not been able to poll more than four thousand
votes out of 245 900, is the proof alike of their
own weakness and reckleSsneSs, and of the
wickedness of the policy of the Administration
Itis this that gals the President
The New y ork Journal of Commerce, Balt-
more Exchange Providence Post, and others,
are cutting loose from the Administration, and
have already come out for Douglas. While
this makes Mr. Buchanan very ndgnant-for
all these papers adhered to him up TO the mo-
ment of the Illinois electOn--it is exactly
what he ought to have expected. They did
their very best to uphold him they eVcn or
ganized themselves against Douglas but, af-
ter all they cannot resist the tide They give
in reluctantly but when we reflect that they

We have the news Of Mr.. HaSkin's election

There is rnmor upon good authority that
Secretary Cobb will resign his Office if Mr..
Buchanan makes move in favor of Pennsyl-
vania iron, There is no doubt that Mr.. Cobb
has been talking very bitterly against any such
assistance to our great interests. and that Clay
