Buchanan the Assailant Of Douglas in
the Union Newspaper.-A Singular
Admission. 1l
The Washington Union copies the
following paragraph from the Chicago
Democrat-of course tacitly endorsing
the statement in italics
'"The Douglas organ in this State. es-
pecially the Times, from which the Others
generally take their fire, had been for some
months past denouncing the Washington
Union, the central organ of the Demo
cratic party. as a mercenary sheet, which
was aetuated not by principle. but by greed,
and which.was totally unworthy ofnotice
by all Democrats throughout the country,
and entirely without political influence Of
any kind. Every article that appeared
in the Union in support of Democratic
principles and denunciatory of Douglas,
was denounced as ruthless attack upon
Democrats, and written with the intention
Of dividing, the Democratic party. This
abuse continued, even after it became
known that these articles in tie Union
mere not only inspired By Mr.. buchanan,
bet, Il sOos asserted, ecen wriHen By his
owH hand No doubt Mr.. Buchanan
thought that il it was honorable for Judge
Douglas to write articles for his organ in
Chicago, personally assailing Mr.. Buch-
anan when an opposition candidate for
the Presidency, it was perfectly allowable
for him to assail Douglas. through his
organ in Washington, when he had turned
traitor to the Democratic party and its
principles" -.
In noticing this ''curious incident the
Washington States Douglas paper }
says:
"What was the object of quoting this
plausible piece Of rascality into the I'm
ion ? OF course to intimidate distant
Democrats, to intimidate ofice-holders,
and above all, to shirk the responsibility
of their article, and achieve temporary
respect for dizziness by giving currency to
the assertion that Nr. Buchanan wrote it.
It was a tacit acknowledgement on the
part of the Union that the President was
answerable for the interminable twaddle
with which that paper has been dosed by
Wendell's 'hirelings.' 1t was the most
Infamous defamation of the Presidents
character to represent him. the Democrat
ic head of Democratic Government, as
misstating every fact in the political his
tory of the day for the sole purpose of
aiding and abetting the progress of Abo-
Iition, by the election of Lincoln as SEN
ator from Illinois" -, ~

The Baltimore Patriot gives some in-
teresting facts and valuable reflections in
regard to the last electoral vote of the
United States and the next. The eleeto-
raj vote Of 1855 consisted of DOG votes.
The admission of Minnesota will increase
that number to three hundred, and should
Kansas and Oregon be admitted the entire
vote will be three hundred and six. re-
quiring one hundred and fifty four for
choice of President. OF this three hun
dred and six there win b, one hundred
and twenty from the slaveholding States,
and one hundred and eighty six from the
non-slayeholding States.
In the Charleston Democratic Conven-
ton under the two-thirds rule, it viii re.
quire two hundred and four votes to make
a nomination. twill require eighty-foul
Northern votes, even with the united
South, to make a nomination.

THE
OLD VILLAGE PRINTING OFFICE.
BY a. F. TAYLOR.


But the old village had no hotels; only
two houses of entertainment. One was
up street," and that was an inn, So and
SOS inn; the other was 'down street, )" and
that was stage house, the stage house
where, once day, the yellow, mud-be-
spattered stage rocked up and brought to,
and the well conditioned boniface came
shifting out from the grated corner in the
bar-room, like an over fed old spider,
opened the stage coach door and let out
the hungry passengers. They were al
ways hungry when they got there, fer
breakfast was Just ready for southern mi
grants, and dinner for northern but then
the landlord was NOT an old spider, but a
very jovisl, pleasant sort of man, who
made everybody feel as much at home as
Aswas, and nothing more home-like could
be imagined, and SO, very well-tO-do did
he get, at two shillings a meal. t.r
So much for the old village, for here
we are, just now passing an orchard, and
there, with broader phylactery of tan
bark, is the printing Office, whence was
issued weekly il oldsn times, the Black
River Gazette. The Office low, white
building, once tenanted by a lawyer, who
had gone up to a higher court than any
they have organized yet on earth, stood
next the church. So they were, for once,
side by side, the pulpit and the press; and
nobody has learned to turn out such en-
giLery from forge and foundry, even to
TINS day. We enter there is ink on the
door, the print of five small fingers. In

goes slowly on as though he were actually
following the bier. But then death was
avery rare thing. very rare in the village,
and round in the woods, and it was worth
bordering over. True, everybody knew

How it Works.

The system Of government now prac-
ticed by our administration, with an old
Federalist at its head, is curiosity. To
attain the end aimed at the government
takes the road which leads furthest from
it, and altogether it is bundle of the
--LATEST contradictions that can be mag
ined. Its creed may be summed up in
this wise
10 secure specie currency--send fifty
millions of gold year to Europe.
To cure the evils of the banking system
-estlblish sub treasury and issue treas
ury notes.
TO make trade good-import hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of msrchan-
disc year, and pay thirty millions Of
specie annually for interest on our debts.
To help working men-shut up their
workshops, let them walk idle about the
streets, and send to Scotland for the Iron
which the government may need.
To promote the interests of the produ-
cer-give foreign capitalists and manu-
facturers in Europe the control of our
currency and labor.
To advance Democracy-enact a tariff
which has been examined and approved
by Lord Palmerston and Lord Napier.
To. preserve the Union-compel the
people of the Free States to bow to the
lash of Southern disunionists and nulli6-
ers.
To maintain the rights of the States
pass law to force an odious constitution
on the people, or keep them out of the
Union.
To administer the government with
economy-spend all the surplus on hand,
and run in debt forty millions in one
year.
To protect the interest Of the people
see whirlwind Of ruin sweep over the
country, and spend six months in an
abortive attempt to extend slavery.
To encourage national sentiments-de-
vote the whole power of the government
to advancing the interests Of q small
number in one section Of the Union.
To elevate Democratic principles -
prescribe, decapitste, and persecute all
men who will not swallow such a COM
pound Of nauseous preparations as are set
forth in the above manual Of political
doctorship.
