There was once medal struck In England in honor of
William Pitt the great statesman by some called "the
heaven born minister" which had it, emblem,
rock in the ocean, upon which the angry waves bent
perpetuay, without destroying moving IT, forget the
motto but Il was Characteristic or the emblem. The
policy OF Mr. Buchanan, firm and nmovable. quiet
sudsteady amidst the facous camor Of hbusers and
dsoresuiEers on the subjects Of Central America and
Kansas might be nty represented by similar emblem
The effect Of such policy, ~ might have been anticipated
by far seeing men, and as has been foretod by the
HERALD, is now becoming apparent Against this rock
the waves Of popular excitement in cities Of
the far South on ne Walker affair, in New England upon
the Kansas matter and In Congress through few etsr
vesen speeches Of extremists can make no impression
The which arrives from day TO day from Kansas,
and the tone of the press the arrest Of the buserng
expedition of Walker show the impregnabs position Of
the President Mr.. r. J. walker, after having lashed
himself into fury and expended his force through the
press by addresses and put the Shelf

idea and one theme Of DISCOURSE that is Kansas exam

Senate or out Of IT, show bis hostility 70 the adminstra

tion and fact, all great vital questions as these
are, he OPPOSITION and yet pFesumes TO call himself

truth is Mr. Douglas has stepped the linepassed
the Rubicon-and have doubt B sorry for THIS short
sighted act and is chatting and wriggng under the pres
sure of IT, He has been unfaithful, and the mighty
svenger bound him hand and foot He is poweress
He hoped with the alliance Of Mr. Walker TO carry the

the high position which, through his talents, am oy great
management he had attained he sinks down 70 the cha

Southern in Congress against Mr. Buchanan
with regard the fibusers, will ends ending IN fact
in the So me manner the opposition Of Mr.. Walker and
Judge Douglas. Mr.. Buchanan is rock against which
the waves opposition may beat but cannot move from
his firm position of what is right just and patriotic
The celebration OF the anniversary Of the battle OF New
Orleans. called sometimes 'the second war Of ndepen
the sh Of January in this city, by the demo
cratic party of the District Of Columbia furnishes some
incidents worthy of notice. Though the District be unre
presented in Congress- yet beng the seat OF govern
ment and the centre of political movements and manage
ment and its citizens entering effectively into them, and
having immediate contact with the government and
its their dings become Of interest to
the whole republic
The Eighth of January celebrated by supper as
usual, Washington, and after that by toast, and
speeches. Good eating and drinking always contribute
largely TO the patriotism of all branches of the Anglo
Saxon family Or. Jones, old friend and one OF the
cabinet of General Jackson presided a. the enter

friend of Hero New Orleans preside such an

One incident worthy Of notice that OF the toast OF
Mr. Sierra, and the response of Mr.. w. J. Rose, OF New
York. The toast "The great state OF New York and
her nvincible democracy-temporary defeat has but
added lustre her GROWING triumph" Mr.. Rose, who
who sitting back in the crowd called forward to
respond He spoke Of the enthusiasm with which New
York had endorsed the administrator OF Mr. Buchanan,
and Of the gallant in which vote Of So 00 re-
corded against the Spartan democracy in 1885, had under
