ASCENT OF MOUNT WASHINGTON IN MAY
Mr. f. White of Lancaster, N H., and two
otner gentlemen, ascended Mount Washington
the 4tll and 9th of May, for the purpose of
obtaining views for the stereoscope. Half
mlle irom the Glen, they came to the snow,
and put on the snow shoes-snow heinz from,
one to ten feet deep, and much drifted. They
reached the ledge at the rate of three-ouarters
OF mile an hour, and tarried for the night,
Next morning they left for the summit with.
out snow shoes, the crust being hard enough
to bear them.
~ AT noon ON the 9th, they reached the Tip
Top House, and found the snow two or three
leet deep, and every appearance OF mid-winter
except the temperature, which was about so
degrees. The snow lay up against the houses
TO the roofs, so much SO that no part of the
front hH door to the Tip Top House could be seen,
Inc atmosphere was very smoky, and distant
views were not visible.-MontreaI Herald.

READING RooM.-The suggestion of a free
reading room, made by correspon dent. has
been often made before. 1t is certa inly dcsr-
able and if there is any moral adv antage in
such institutions, eminentiy reas enable for
large cities to maintain them, they do
schools, and keep them open and accessible at
all times to the public, under SUE h restraints
only as are essential to their us efulness and
safety. We incline to the opin on. however
that the plan is chiefly feasible in cities with
a large transient or boarding house popula-
ton, for whom some places agreeable re.
sort must be afforded. The ne xt best thing to
a Free is a subscription readn groom, which.
we are happy TO to say, Wor' .ester is already

Citation between Douglas and Buchanan
sit is reported, and is not denied by the
anti-Lecompton Democrats, that Mr.. Doug
lns las evening obtained an interview with
Mr.. Buchanan for the purpose of reconcile
alton. One report is that the differences
between them were settled by mutual
agreement, and hence the boldness of Mr..
Logan in the House to-day, in advocating
Mr.. Douglas as n true Democrat, which
declaration was assented to by the Admin
istration Democrats on the floor But it is
most likely that the report that Mr.. Blu
chanan repulsed Douglas is true, from
the fact that in an interview between GER
tain gentlemen and the President yester-
day, concerning the nomination of a Doug
lAs Democrat in place of Mr.. Cook, the
Postmaster of Chicago, who is reported as
defaulter, Mr.. Buchanan became quite in
dignnut, and expressed the utmost scorn
and contempt for Douglas, and Fefueed for
moment to consent to the proposition,
although some of the delegation who
waited upon him were not only not Doug
las Democrats, but influential merchants
of the City of New York, and one was a
conservative Member of Congress. fit is
true that Mr.. Douglas has actually en-
braced Mr.. Buchanan, it is said that Mr..
Forney will discard him as a leader"

oxE of our New York exchanges, who is
one of the faithful, alleges that the forth
coming message of the President repeats
the petition of last year for a grant of dis
cretionary authority to use the military
and nayalforces of the Federal. Government.
The plea is put forth on the ground that
the distracted Condition of Mexico, and the
responsibility of any of its contending
governments, render it necessary for the
protection and promotion of American in
terests, that the Executive of the nation
should be endowed with such discretionary
powers for his dealings with that country.
The perseverance with which the suspi-
ciOus plea is urged by President Buchanan
will not be likely to diminish the objec-
tiOnE of Congress to the granting of such
dangerous powers, and the petition will
undoubtedly meet with second refusal.

America, that has given monarchs more
disquietude than ancient Israel ever did in

the beginning of this century, and the re-
suit was the terrible uphoaying of the ma

but the Euphrates was dried up at the
battle of Waterloo. The way of the Kings
of the East is prepared. We are the nation
to be attacked by the three unclean spirits
ofabsolutism, church supremacy and legiti-
macy, or Divine right of Kings. Headed
by the Autocrat of the Russia's, they will
come up to the land of unwalled villages;
they will swarm in millions to our land
and then will be that display of armies
upon which the prophet Joel, looking
through the long vista of ages, could
only exclaim, multitudes, multitudes in
the valley of decision. Even England,
whom we are prone to look upon as
the stronghold of civil and religious lib
erty in the Eastern world, welded to
her cherished theory of the Divine right
of Kings, will be against US. France

A FELLOW by the name of Andrew N.

serious difficulty the other day, at Salt
Lake, for threatening the life of Brigham
Young. He was heard to declare, while

That he had come from Camp Floyd to

This might have passed for the idle boast

pears, and sincerely and earnestly declares
thae he overheard q party, composed of
persons notably hostile to Brigham Young,
in conversation over the plot for his assas-

The Mormon informant was accidentally
in part of the house where the party
met, altogether unknown to be there lie
furnished the names of few persons we'll
known in the community as being present,
and others to him were strangers. The
plan was that Smith should seek an inter
view with Brigham on business, which his
being known at BrighRms Office would
easily enough procure without suspicion
and that while there he should assassinate
him. Smith could not possibly escape,
but for the consequences he was prepared.
Smith wanted revenge, and with him or
the consequences of his act they had moth
ing to do, and cared ia little. The fore
going is about tho substance of the con-
versation reported.
Smith was apprehended late on Satur-
day evening, too late for trial before the
magistrate, and was consequently detained
by the police till Monday; and after being
heard, &C., was fined $40, believe, and
liberated very early on Monday morning.
