Few statesmen Of the nation have been more
maligncd or lave been more fundamentally and
lloenliously aspersc.l than the President of the
United States. Yet in every position of disinc.
ton to which, in his long and varied political
career, he hns been raised, he hns So discharged
the duties Of his station, has so stond the ordeal
Of high functions, that uniformly he has flied
even the measure of his friends proud anieipa.
tons, whether as senator, ambassador abroad,
Minister Of State, or President Of this Con-
flderacy. This, We confidently believe, will be
the verdict Of htsttnIy-tllc Judgment, indeed, of
all hut tho political bisot--a few years hence,
when his political sagaeity and integrity as a
statesman will be rs thoroughly recognised as
his ability is acknowledged ut the present day.
Tho events with which he has been Immediate
ly connected and has Influenced will then be
fully appreciated as recorded in history, where
the statesmanlike breadth Of his political views
and policy will be apparent. He will then he
recognised MS statesman singularly national
and above the preaaices of scction---as one
eminently fitted by mental organization for the
presidency of this Government; as one who
has never quailed at the helm, but was able,
with clear vision and firm hand, to sec and
steer the vessel of State through the true chan
mel into u haven Of safety, uudcceivel by false
lights.
A Northern man by birth and lifelong as
sociatinns, with strong State pride and decided
State afnities and affection, invariably, in Con-
sress, Mr.. BUCHANAN was found voting and
speaking with signal, telling ability and win
ming eloqucnce--a foremost champion of demo-
cracy--in opposition to all sectional measures
to all that intcrftred with the harmony of the
political union of the sections, and in support
Of all that tended to strengthen and preserve
that harmony or enhance the greatness of our
Contederacy. Dcspising the mean arts of the
sectional demagoguc, as we'll as the unreasou-
able clamor of sectional passions, and inspired
with deep sense of the value of the Union for
each and all of the States, he seemed from an
carly day to have chosen for his motto
That which combined us was most great
and let not Va ~
A leaner action rend u.s." ..."
To the weight of solid talents he has united
that conservative stability which come from
ample wealth and industrious political and
general culture. He has sedulously preserved
! record free from sectionalisus. Thus it was

HosToN UNION MEErINa.--Thc great Union
meeting held in Boston on the 9Th inst, to give
expression of popular opinion in regard to the
setlitious clamurings Of disatrtctcd people in
some parts of the country, in reference to thu
late bloody aid REASONABLE assaults upon the
integrity of southern interests in Virginia, is
represented as being one of the most llumer-
''lsly attended and completely successful man
iestatiuns ever witnessed in that ancient city.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious character of
Tue weather-snow and rain falling alternately
long before the lo,'r fixed for the opening Of
the meeting, Fauueil Hall was so completely
crainmed, that hundreds could not gain admit
tuncc.
Among the names of the most prominent
gentlemen present we noticed Messrs William
Appleton, Nathan Appleton, Rev. N. Adams,
Hon. Henry J. Garlncr Hon. Franklin Haven
George Ticknor, John Y. Heard Rev. George
W. Blagdcn, Peter Harvey, j. w. Paige A. a.
Lawrence, S. A. Elliott, WIN. w. Swan
A. w. Austin, 7. 2. Rich, Hon. Marshall p
Wilder, Hon. George Lunt Col. AshLoth, of
New York, and number of other distinguished
persons.
At eleven oclrck the meeting was called to
order by VIM. Appleton, Esq, who, after read
ing the list of Presidents and Presidents
introduced the Hon. Levi Lincoln, who was re-
ceivcd with the most deafening applause. The
venerable gentleman, in voice tremulous
with age and emotion: warmly returned his
heartfelt thanks to the meeting for the gener-
Gus and friendly reception which had been Civ
en- to him. From his very heart he thanked
them. The occasion on witch they had met
was, he said, most important one, and under
those circumstances he thought it right that
they should open their proceedings by invok-
ing the divine aid and blessing. He would,
therefore, with the permission OF the audience
Introduce Dr. Blagtlen. who would address q
prayer to the throne of grace.
The Rev. DR.. Blagden, of the old South
church, offered up an appropriate prayer. He
implored the Lord to protect all the friends
at national unity, and to open the eyes of all
others to the improperly of their course in
pursuing conduct opposed to the blessed spirit
of the gospel of Christ, which does not seek to
diffusc the principles of riot and disorder, but
those of peace and of good government. He
prayed also for the welfare of the whole CON-
monweallh, for the President, and for Congress,
imploring the Almighty to conduct their DELHI
erations to the welfare of the whole united
people.
Mr.. Lincoln then introduced to the meeting

Hall than did this one after listening to the spleu
did singing of good old Scottish ballads and songs
by Mr., Crawford, and tho vory fine piano playing
by Mr.. Theodore Boottgcr, who is really a taontcd
artist
The blood of each listener could not but course
more quickly in their veins US they listened to the
Astonishing volume Of eloquent music poured
forth by MIR. Crawford in his selections. All these
were most excellent and most beautiful, and VIC re-
gret that this very Superior singer cannot longer
stay with US. Wherever ho goes, may abundant
success attend him.
