BoNAPARTE, BUCHANAN AND BENNETT.-We
really don't know what the newspaper editors
would have to write about if the race Of what
are called representative men should fail
Luckily for these writers, however, there are
always some persons who are SO widely known
in the world that articles upon them will be
more or less welcome to the public. About
twenty-five years ago General jackson was a
perfect fortune to the opposition writer's, as well
as to some of the English Journalists. Then
there were O'Connell, and Sir Robert Peel and
Clay, and Webster, and Calhoun, all good for
slashing article or personal paragraph. Just
now the press at home and abroad pays its devors
to Buchanan, Bonaparte and Bennett. These
three terrible fellows are continually at work.
trying to accomplish the most awful,
bloody and diabolical crimes. The English
language is exhausted in abuse of the Emperor
OF the French the President of the United
States, and the Editor of the New York HERALD.
According to these journals, the three autocrats
above mentioned can at any moment doom all
Christendom to destruction and they are now
working to accomplish that agreeable result,
The British journals are always full Of Bonaparte
and Buchanan, and Bennett occasionally. The
American presses devote great deal Of their
space to Buchanan, and quite as much to
Bennett. AS to the former, it is so long since
there has been President Of the United States
who had any will of his own, that the topic is
quite new; and no wonder the poor scribblers
work it TO death. Louis Napoleon-the writer's
have been at him over twenty years; and
Bennett has been similarly honored during the
same period. Louis Napoleon is the great news
paper editor Of France, as he regulates the whole
press there; and Bennett is acknowledged
by his opponents to be the leading editor Of
the United States. Mr. Buchanan edits. Of
course, thousand, more or less of
sound democratic organs-sound while the
money lasts. So, altogether, il is no wonder that
the press talks go much and so bitterly Of the
three B's-Bonaparte, Buchanan, Bennett;
but not satisfied with writing of them as
public men, their relations and connections come
in for share Of delicate attention, aud Il is one
of the best jokes Of the season, that, disguised
with Mr.. Buchanan's bachelor condition, the edi-
tors have absolutely married him, without bis
knowledge or consent, so as to have an opportu-
nifty of abusing bis wife, or the lady that they
say is to become so very soon. Such ingenious
audacity deserves public recognition, and Con-
gress ought to give some Of these philosophers
medal. In the meantime the threegreat abused
Buchanan, Bonaparte and Bennett--will doubt
less survive, and work out their awful plots for
the enslaving of the entire human race
DICKENS AND STURGEON IN New YORK;
It Is definitely stated, on what appears to be
pretty good authority, that Mr.. Charles Dickens
has accepted propositions rendered to him by an
American gentleman Of the name of Evans, and
that he will shortly cross the Atlantic for the
second time, and will give the readings from his
works which have proved 50 attractive In Lon
Adon. It will be fresh in the memory of our
readers that when Mr.. Dickens first visited the
United States be was caressed, feed and fooled
