WANTS 1T AGAIN.-It is conceded

WANTS 1T ATAIN.-It is conceded
that Mr. Buchanan has reconsidered his
resolution. aeowed some two years since

for the Presidency. He wants it a gain.
and will probably have the impudenee
to present himself once more before the
Democracy for denomination. The re
suit of the Harrisburg convention has
fattered the vanity Of the old fellow
amazingly. Poor old man! Under what
delusion he labors He has less
chance even of denomination at
Charleston than Pierce had at Cincin-
natl. The Soath may be abundantly
grateful for the services Mr.. Buchanan
has been able to give, but his utter
abandonment of the principles of the
Cincinnati platform which he was sol
emnly pledged to support, cautions the
Southern Democracy against too i'm
plicit reliance on him longer than the
present term. While he can be eajoled
and Aattered by those who have him in
leading strings, he may be safely count
FOR their side. His keepers hope by
aexterous management to secure his par
,iality during the remainder of his short
political career but knowing his unstable
nature, they would not like to risk him
a moment longer. Could he be allowed
an henr For reflection, unsurrounded by
the sycophantic parasites who fasten
upon him and absorb his every moment,
and could his thoughts during that hour
be turned to the contemplation Of his
course rs President, could he calmly
square his conduct by the Cincinnati plat
form and his professions at thetime of his
nomination, we will do him the credit to
believe he has rational sense enough left
to discover that his zig is up" He can
nevermore be elected chief magistrate of
these United States. He has reached
the summit and ''maun totter down" now
to the grave towards which be is making
rapid strides.
The difference of opinion existing be-
between Buchanan and Cobb on the tar
iff question alone, is damper upon the
further aspirations of the former The
South is irrevocably committed against
specific duties. That section will tole-
rate no man who entertains the opinions

Buchanan On the tariff question, we
apprehend.
Besides the good sense of all sections
must discover that the administration. of
James Buchanan has been from first to
last much of failure.
He has tried his hands in two instan-
ces against supposed enemies, and in
both laurels of questionable species
have been gathered. He gave his ad-

The STATE PRISoN,-After all the
fanfaronade of twelvernonth about the
State Prison, after all the hyfalutin of a
locofoco Legislature that declared the
contract between the State and the
Lessee of the prison mot only voidable,
but absolutely void" after all the POM
pous parade ofthe Governor and aa cap
tandxns performances about the Prison
gates, and after all his vain boasts that
he would make himself the strongest man
politically in the state by his manage
ment Of the penitentiary, it has been
found, that the aforesaid Legislature
committed high handed and illegal act
against the Lessee, that Weller was SO
much of minny hammer as to sign an
uncons titutional act and to execute it,
that the State has kept the prisoners at
its own expense for more than a year,
and will haveto pay others for the
same service to the tune Of some ten
thousand dollars per month, and that
the whole thing has gone back into the
hands of the contractors, there, probably
to remain for several years to come.
On the 18th inst, McCauley again pre-
sented himself at the prison doors with
the necessary forms of law, and was put
in possession of the premises and their
detachable occupants.
The State is. exactly where she was,
with respect to the Prison, when the
know nothing Legislature adjourned, al
ways excepting large amount of cash
ill-advisedly spent on the institution.
There are quite number of men who
figured as Legislators in getting up the
law by which the Governor was author
lied to present himself in pomp and
state at San Quentin and demand the
surrender of the penitentiary. Some
want to be Governors, some Congress
men; none of them wouldtbrow any re-
spectableloficeIover their shoulders, pro-
badly. Weller approved their plans,
signed their bill when he ought as
lawyer, if not "as statesman" to have
knowni it was unconstitutiona and is now
traversing the State to procure a re-elec-
ton.

it would be wise to select man for

party hacks and leather-head demagog-
ues-now wouldn't it

"At all events the independent candi-

adverse to political sticking for all
those offices which are not strictly politi-

conventions will make nominations for
this class of Offices; and if one conven-
ton does, whilst others do not, the can
didates thus put forward will not receive
the full vote ofthe party. For such Off
