Hr HIM AGAHI-Mr. BuehanaAs Seerets ry Of
State is his true disciple. He takes with ns not to
the Democratic policy Of saying what oug 1T to be
done and then Just doing the contrary thing. He
commences his reply to Gov. Walker by ecarng the
improperly OF making any reply at s4ll. He says
that the department ought noa 10 hor any argument
with subordinate officer, and havirg sufficiently for
such an argument. Yet it cannot be denied that
however he failed in relating Gov. Walker, he has
very satisfactorily shown that for his osn sake and
that of the Administration, he ought not to have,
made the attempt to answer him.
