tFrom the Washington (P4.l RepOrter.l
Letter from BnrneY O,TeeI. ESQ.


WAsnNGToS d. c., March u, 1859.
Gtattenlen:--We'vead adjurned Congressat last
not an the third, as ould Mr. Binton continded
Tor, but an the fourth; an some ay the fellies
are determined the next time to hould an, clane
through, for what's few days wild Congress?
But, gintemen, we broke up in throuhle-I
name throuble to me ould frind the President
not manin to insiniate that his Excellincy him
sell, Is ould by any names. Be the powers, If
any SUSPECTS the President av n green onld age,
he ought TO seen him at MisthreSs Binnett'S
levay-I name whin she Shuperyened as Lord
av the ASCENDANT" as astronomers say. More
be token we've done wild MiSthresS SickleS, liver
since her ould man shot Phil. KAY, an be the
same token, sarved him right. But the Prisi.
dent sez, the divil fut shall she come widin
his doors till Father Murphy av theSinate gives
her abSolntion.
But as was dscoorsin to ye we'ere in bad
fix. Thin Southren divils-the chivalry boys
cares for nobody but thimselvcs. Bedad the
Presidents almost broken harted wild their way
wardness. Haven't |, SEE he, To MiSthur Sick
les an the resta thin, done all cud for yc, an
great dale more, twice over, an now, sez he,
ycrc gOn' to ndjurn an lave the in the Inrch
widout cint av money to bliss meself wid-
Luck at it scZ he,-an' the President tould me
wild tears IN his eyes-they've been votin away
millions az goOld dollars, where they're to
come from, its mesef 'ud like to know. They
vote out wild rush, sez he, but divil bit do
they vote an. FaiX, sez he, it's jst like the will
dhrcw for Pat Sullivan in Lancasther whin |
wns n young man. Pat tOuld me to put down
five thousand dollars he bequcathed to his son
PheGm. But, Sez |, where's the money to come
from-ye haven't hundhrel to yer name
Och, don't bother dyn man, see hc-it's my
gud will I'm givin him.-It's my will he shud
have it, an sure the J0ss90H can work for it. AS
ye've suw in yer body, seq Mr.. Buchanan,
that's jist what this same Consriss has done
ounly worse. They've willed me their debts to
pay, an' be the howly poker, we'll have an iade-
pindeht threaSury in three months, for divi a
cent 'ull there be to depind an.
Ef they had ounly given me thin thirty mill
lions for pocket money, sez he, cud have stud
it-hut iist to think of it, sez he-I, that lid
much for thim-I, that made an wrote that
Ostind MANIFESTO, livery word nv it, an they
to thrate me in this way. Tear an ages, SEE
hc haven't clint TO me name, barrin the
twenty five thousand dirthy dollars get for
bcn President, toid the Pdrquisitesl But what's
that among SO many, as the Bible scz!
But, sez the President, lukin me in the eye,
I've great mind to thry ship money. Ton
mage and poundnge, scz he, brought in lashins
nv money in ould times, whin the Commons
didn't do their duty, an amt sworn, seq he,
to carry an the governmint? John Quincy
Adams is dead, sez he, an Gddins is retired,
besides they're not like us Young men anyhow.
Ef it wasn't for Wade av Ohio, sez he, divil a
ttaupucn Is tueTc IN Inc COuutnTlS uU u uObu-
in else 'nll do I'll thry it. If Toombs an Sill
dell, sez he, can't back me up, there's no longer
any virtue in impidcnce.
But thin Mr. Buchanan softened down, an
sez he, Misthur 0Toole, I've great mind to
sell out the State av Maine. Sure sez /, plnze
yer Excellincy, the integrity, ay the Union 'ud
be in the way nv that. Divil bit, Sez he; but
we must go at it gradunlly-aisily. That's the
Ounly way, sez he, we've got along so far wild
the acquisition OF Cuba. Pun not, SEE he, in the
habit av disclosin State saycrets,-an' wild that
he dhrew his chair close up to mean SEE he,
tEim charmin sowls. Msthress Gore Ousely an
Misthrcss Binnett, think they get sOmethin out
ay me. (you're an Irishman, Misthur O'Iohle,
an can understand the power av thin beautiful
eyes) but we'll let that pass.
Queen Victoria seq he, has written me most
beautiful, confidential billet durin her own hand
(may the divil fly away wild Cyrus Field and hls
cable) an she Sez substantially, (but ye ought
to seen the beautiful hand writin) seZ she, l'm
greatly taken wild the new inthernational law.
thank yer ExcellencY for the OStind nanny
festo, an more betoken, for yer last missaSc an
the Openin nv ConSriss, all about the thranSitS
an the likes; and thin she sez, in the pOlitest
way intirely, Msthur Buchanan, | want the
State av Maine. It's the Kay to all my posses
sions in the north, an ye know, sez she, II IL
1oas an arm az the sea we'd have 1t anyhow, an
| can't see the differ, as it's SO necessary for
thransit purposes, why | mightn't jiSt walk right
through the State av Maine, up to Montreal an
Quebec. But thin, scz she, ndnft like TO have
a quarrel, especially, SEE she, wild an oud GIN
tleman. Bedad seq Mr.. Buchan, that a!lusion to
me age is hardly polite.
/, But, seq he, Misthur 0'Toole, she offers me
hundred million av dollars for Maine. Begorra,
sez he, isn't it timptin. More be tuken, sez he,
I've great mind to take it The price 'ull iist
let me buy Cubl, an besides sez he. what the
dvi do We care for the State av Maine wild all
her diviI ,nncare Unmlins FesSendens an Wash
burns an the likes. I'd like to sell them out
intirely. They're no use to the Democracy
anyhow an thin I'd have the Maine money TO
buy Cuba wild. But, sez Mr.. Buchanan, think
it's too cheap intirely. II the little oman 'ud
only give me hundred million pounds sterling,
instead nv hundred million av dollars, think
it 'ud do Wild that, sez he, could buy out
Cuba, and I'm not sure that the little oman
iudn't sell me out JamaiSy.
Mr.. Buchanan bids me give his repicts to all
his frinds. It's pity somehow, there's so few
nv thin. Yours wild considerations, &c,
