The weather, it is true, is every
where, very ordinary theme, but just
at this time it it is here rather extraor-
binary. We have not as yet, had q
regular old fashioned March day; but
on the Contrary the most genial, balmy
"spring feverish" weather day after
day. Every body is invited to the
shady side to promenade, and nobody
can withstand the temptation of beau
ty that out of doors presents. Nature
beginning with the tendercst and lovli-
est offspring flowers, is silently prepar-
ing to cIothe old earth again in diving
green"
The ladies (happy creatures) are de-
lighted day after day with the glorious
opportunity, and which they never fail
to embrace, of "going out" and even
parasols are brought into requisition.
The great danger from such early
and heightened genial temperature, is,
that the fruit buds already swollen, will
by a future and unreasonable frost be
blasted.
President Bnchanan's veto of an
act donating public lands to the sever
eral States and Territories which may
provide college for the benefit of Ag-
riculture and the Mechanical Arts, re-
ceivs not only the appreciation of the
Democracy, but is very generally COM
mended by the opposition. One Of
the opposition press says, at is an act
which the judicious everywhere will
applaud, and his message upon the oc-
casion is document full of sound
views and correct conclusions" The
veto certainly deserves the warmest
Communications of every voter who has
the interest of his country at heart,
aud should be published and read ev-
crywherc, for it contains much sound
Democratic doctrine, and like all the
other public acts of President Buchan-
an, it is replete with knowledge of
what is public good, and evinces
craftsmanship which will force even its
bitterest revilers to acknowledge the
superiority of his Administration.

been made--hut alas it brings no mon

Breslln, who has "rctired" into Canada
makes his statement in that respectful
distance from the indictment pending
at Columbus, but instead of coming
out and making clean breast of it,
conceals many facts which seem known
only to him. This dcfalcatlon is a
sorry blot upon our State escutcheon
as we'll as upon the character of three
of her successive Treasurers, Bliss,
BresIin and Gibson.
We now have Democratic Sub
Treasury law which locks out from
lingering the public funds all such
