l have frequently during the last twelve months
had occasion TO aude in terms OF surprise TO the enter

remarkable information of the Evening Post of this city
II is true that have generally found that when the in-

gross fabrication but as the Post has remarked on more
than occasion where the facts fased its statements
$50 much the for the facts The Post Of to-day
Is full of startling novelties Its Washington correspond
ent H. has discovered that the supper which Mr. George

from Mr. Buchanan, and states something unques
tonabe that the President went to work to write the
said editorial leader after consultation with members
OF his cabinet and the minister to Spain Between
lobbying and editorial writing, poor Mr. Buchanan must
