BUcHASAS's PRoGEANVE.-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, indica.
ting the Presidents policy to procure a renomi
nation, says;
"Mr. Buchanan's great idea Of trightenin. the
South into support OF himself AZ tile Charleston
Convention, Is 10 raise the CRY Of disunion; Il
tell them, indirectly, that the only way to be res
cued from their enemies ! 10 take him up FOR IL.
Presidency, because of his numerous sacrifices
&c, in their behalf. Iregret TO see that NUM-
Der Of the Southern Men are being LED into thu
trap which be has set for them and that, In al
lowing themselves 10 be more than usually excl
ted by the late tragical events al Harper's Ferry
they are unconsciously helping forward one who
il nominated by ten thousand Charleston Conven
tions, would be defeated at the polls in 1850
NJ. Buchanan's scheme Is either 10 re-elect him
self, or 10 elect some man entirely committed ts
his policy; and hence il Is that he is doing al il
his power TO assist that feeling in the South which
has grown out Of the Harper'= Ferry affair"

So You are gone, nv best OF friends.
And lis too bad that no one did shout.
Or for YOUR labors make amends.
And grease the plank on which YOU slid out
Since NC have been of YOU bereft,
Ill tel YOU rhy things look So shrunk-
No oiher Buck" such "hcrns" can lift.
Or get Electrically drunk.
Alas, dear friend, Ills mine TO chronicle,
Tha, none | see, or know, DO wear
Such rudy checks, and eyes Byron.ical.
And melancholy strut and hair.
The Journals just as good rs dead
In premature decay-(and hushn
The reason is, dear sir. tits fed
No more on your Byron-ic sush.
Respected sir, how vou could leave US
In such disgust, Is quite a miracle.
And worst OF all, that YOU should grieye US
Lampoonin5 us in verse sa,iracal,
Was IL because you were done "Bro,rn"
In your disastrous love with Miss -:
(Exhilerating love, own,)
And even faded to get a kissy
Now lay your anger by, friend Brown,
And kindly solve the dread enigma.
by telling ,rhy you left our town.

ment and even goes 50 far a. to lay down the
details Of the plan thus:
lst. The election of delegates to a State Con-
vcntion. who will assemble in December. 1850.
To adopt such measures "a NAV meet the ext
gelcy of the occasion. 81. The passing of "A
resolution inviting the cooperation of other
Southern States, 10 take measures 10 secure their
rights ~ c0-egual members of the CoHfedcracv
The Governor suggests that among the measures
80 adopted, should bc the duty of insisting upon
"ucw constitutional guarantees for our protcc-
ton ~ and in case they are refused
II would suggest that Il Convention of the
southern States should throw open ali the South
crn ports-makiIg them free 10 the con mercc
of the world. Thus putting the burden of this
new Northern coniederacy upon the Northern
people. This would be but just, as the Govern

qgcntly they ought to support their own Gov
eminent. Ia addition to this, it mi ht be polt-
ic a. a measure of warning, Ia impose a duty of

The idea Of Mississippi submitting to a duty
Of - per cent. on Northern manufactures, is the
mos ridiculous item in this farraso. The Ms.
si-sippians would have literally nothing to
wear and nothing to work with, but Norih-
ern manufactures, tor they buy their hats and
boots, a. well as their shoyels and hoes, at the

Farewell TO Lansing.
By BYRON NJ. BROWN

Adieu, . damn'd deceitful town
Bad streets and huts adieu,
Thank God, no more on thee IN srox,
Or curse thy follies too.
AT thoughts Of leaving thee, NV brc,.,
With sudden rapture glows;
Though when or where again | re.,
lis true, God only knows,
Adieu 10 bachsnalian nights,
Succeeding days OF pain,
Such reckless JOYS and woeful plight.
III never know again.
Thy dull monotony no mere
Ny feelings shall abuse,
Nv driving one 10 sadness sore
In bringing on the blues.
Adieu, 10 strutting fcps and fools,
To men OF consequence.
To chilly women. fashions tools.
Devoid OF grace aud sense.
4 tear for friends leave behind
A smile for those Who hate;
In an inyulnerable mind
brave the thrusts OF Fate,

LAST PORTRAIT OF HUMBoLDT-The y. Y.
Tribune says that the last portrait painted from
life of the distinguished naturalist Humboldt was
executed for a gentleman of that city, and is
now at his private residence in Fourteenth st.
Mr.. Albert liavemeyer is the fortunate possessOr
of the best painting-both as regards its resem-
bance to the great original and its artistic excel
lence-of Humboldt in this country, and perhaps
in the world. The portrait represent. him in
the open air, sitting upon bank, over which is
spread the cloak that has fallen from his should
ers, in All attitude peculiar to him, with head
slightly bowed and inclined a little one side A
gold pointed pencil is in one hand, and in the
other his notebook, As if about to make men,
Oraudum. His hat is on the bank beside him,
and his cane rests near at hand In the back
ground, suggested by Humboldt himself, the
snowy peaks of mountains are seen in the dis
lance, while the deep blue of the sky sets in full
relief the noble head covered with white hair OF
the old naturalist. Humboldt gave the arts,
Mr.. Scrader) several sittings. The face was
transferred TO the canvas and finished; the hands
were also completed and the outlines of the body
drawn; but then there came = paGsc-thc old
man grew too feeble to meet the artist again A.;
and when the picture was finished, the good and
great man had been in his grave several weeks.

The Site of Uncle Toms Cabin.

The site Of the cabin formerly occupied by
Uncle Tom," the hero Of Mrs. Stoves most
celebrated work, on the corner OF Noble and
Market streets is now occupied by q two-story
frame dwelling, the property OF Mr.. Michael
Winger.
At the time the cabin was torn down, several
years, since, pieces of it were sent TO a number
of Mrs. Stoves friends in New England, and
previous 10 its demolition daguerreotypes of it
were taken for several parties in this city, Ohio,
and elsewhere The locust trees that surroun-
dei the old negro- home have been very appro-
priately preserved. These are all the marks in
dicatlng the size OF the cabin occupied by Tom
before his death. Since MS departure from d
moral state OF existence the streets that run be-
fore his former home have been graded and gray
eled, the lot has been fenced, and numerous i'm
proyements in the way Of new dwellings and 10,
enclosures have been placed in the neighbour
hood. Even Pocue's Run, on whose banks Tom
lived so hunbly for loag number Of years, has
deserted its old mcaadering channel, AMI been
made to take a new and straighter course, in or
der to less obstruction 10 the march OF improve
ment in the eastern end Of the city.
The spot where Uncle Toms Cabin stood
was few years since entirely outside of the
:" settled" portions of indianapolis Now il is
"down town" from the dwellings on the hill>
eastward. Trains of railroad cars run by i:
daily, the hum of machinery j. heard close by,
the little stream which ripplcd lazily in the sum
mer months but few steps from Toms door has
been given new course in which To run, and
confined within arches and hidden from view
Could old Tom return 10 earth with the full pow
er of vision lac possessed when young man,
but which tOrsOok him for some year. before he
died, he would not recognize the locality in
which he lived so long, and acted, unconscious
ly, the part of the hero in one OF the most thrill
