As does that Of James Buchanan. As singular

a. It may seem, upon every international ques-
ton in issue, there is now but single party in
this country. That with the exception of a
handful Of very ultra people in either extrem-
ity of the United States. Whatever President |
Buchanan takes occasion to do with reference |
to our foreign relations is sure to be approved
by nearly all Americans, of all parties The
opposition press seem, too, to come to his sup

Down THE RIvER.-The young people of
Washington are enjoying themselves amazing
ly on river excursions just now. That manner
of passing day in hilarity was never so much
in vogue here as at present. 1t is beyond all
question as invigorating, healthful, and limo

taking as much genuine comfort and pleasure
in any other way. Such parties, numbering
FIVE hundred joyous boys and girls, for the
