The New York Courier, gives the follow
.ions or DIR. Buchanan. and of the retribu-
tion which has followed his dishonest and
ireacberous deeds:
"into the present feelings Of Mr. Buchan-
an we do NOT care to penetrate. Sir Wal
ter Scott has left usf 10 dis FortsneS of Nj
gel, IN admirable portrait Of another ruler
whose name was James--has told us all a.
bout his self-sufliciency, his violent personal
wilfulness, his inability TO form a magnani-
| nous resolution. james Buchanan has liz
ed as completely in FOOLS paradise as ev-
er did james FIRST Of Englnnd--hus been
ignorant Of the spirit OF the age in which he
liAed-has gone down the stream TO revolu-
ton and destruction with as perfect q con-
yiction that he was the wisest, the most
profound, the most proper, and the most
formidable Of monarchs. AS the one hug
ged his dogmas OF the indcfensble peroga-
tive of kingship, SO has the other hucgcrd
his dogmas o: the indefensble Perogative OF
slavery; and in the latter case the former
The human spirit would not endure il, dis
content and rebO lion arose, his dynasty
was unseared and was cast out 10 droop, de-
| cay, and perish In misery and contempt
The great infatuation Of Mr.. Buchanan has
been the idea that all men who act upon the
public stage are alike corrup:--th1t they
can be completely controlled by the sordi d
of official salary and honor-and that this
control would enable him to assert and en-
| force his own personal will upon the coun-
! try with impuni.y. l, was grand mistake.
There were public men in his own party
whom he found il impossible TO bring into
/ compliance, he found a resistance that ho
/ had no more power ever than he has over The
! liqhtnines aud tempests MIR. Buchanan
has now discovered that though he may buy
congressman, he cannot buy ths people who
make Congress smen, md that there is q pow
behind hia chair itself. II would not be
sale to expect that his late experience will
have any material effect upon bis spirit or
his policy, Mis- fortune seldom rect'ies ae-
grnva,ed blindness and perversiiy like his.
But we shall have Coneress--we may
now confidently trust-thai will prevent his
furthcr.abnse OF power--a Congress that
will lo"k to the people, and NOT to the
White House, for their inspiration, and
who will understand that there is no truer
dictate of enlightened self-interest than
faithful adherence TO principle. The last
few pages Of our history will soon be Tor
gottea. We verify believe that we have
seen the last of such serviie Congresses as
that which sanctioned the English bnbe;
and the last of such reckless Presidents as
he who strained every appliance to carry
Lecompton."

The Last Man.

The Cincinnati Commercial notices a cu-
rious organ iznlion of seven young men into
q society, on the 30th Of September, 1882,
while the cholera was raging in that city
Their names were Joseph R. Mason, VIM.
Stansbury, VIM. Disney, Jr., DR.. James NJ.
Mason, Fen,on Lawson, Henry L. Tatem,
and DR.. John l.. Vattien. These seven
young men had met at the studio of Joseph
R. Mason, who was then a portrait painter,
when the conversation naturally turned on
ravages of the cholera, and they got into
controversy whether the disease was contag-
ious or non-cont agiouS.
From this they entered into solemn CON-
pact to meet annually, and dine together us
long as they lived, and that bottle Of wine
should be sealed and drank in mlemoriam by
the last survivor. The 9th OF October was
agreed upon as the day on which to hold the
anniversary. The bottle, of an octagonai
shape, was filled, sealed and placed i'll the
casket and locked, and each of the men kept
the key year about. Within the casket, be-
sides the bottle, were small slips OF oiled
paper, on which each of the men had writ
ten his name, place and time OF birth, and
place Of RESIDENCE at that time, his age and
occupauou.
Whoever held the key for the year was
| TO provide the banquet, whether rich or poor,
even if it consisted only of loaf Of bread
| and a cup of water, and it was arranged
that, however the number might be reduced
by death, or absence, seven chairs and seven
plates should be set at each banquet. Should
any be absent, those present were bound to
make enquiries us to his whereabouts. Lots
were cast for the keeper of the cnsket the
first year, and ii fell tq pr, Vattier, The
first annual reunion was held on the 9th OF
October, 1892, since which, time the fpl
number has never besn present. On the
I2ih of August, 1858, Henry /; Tatenn died
leaving DR.. Waiter sole survivor of this sin
gulnr club, and on the 9th of October, 1868
the Dr.. took the last solitary banquet, there
being sct six empty chairs. and as many
empty plates.
