Old Buck ScoIding an 0mee-HoIder.
Occasional" writes to the Philadelphia

PTesS
One of those rich scenes which have be-
come quite frequent since Mr.. Buchanan was
elected, took place at the Washington depot
on Monday evening, prior to the departure OF
the train carrying the President and bis
escort on their way to Bedford. l reached
the station too late 10 be witness to il, but
those who were present describe it as emil
nently worth the pencil OF some modern
Cruikshank or Hogarth.
Ii appears that in the same car with his
Majesty, was Col Simeon M. johnson, editor
of the New York Herald In 1856. from
which paper he was discharged by Bennett
for advocating Mr.. -Bacianan,s nomination,
and one of the editors of the Washington
Union last year. from which position he re-
tired on account of Mr.. Buchanan's public
and nauseous toadyism of Bennett.
Finally, The consulate at Havre was o1er-
ed 10 him, and believe accepted. For some
reason however. be has not yet entered upon
the discharge of the duties of this ONCE but
has sojoutned in Washington, attending TO
| his profession as a lawyer When ne saw
the President in the car, $50 runs the story
he approached TO pay his respects to the
high and mighty Majesty, upon which j. b.
began to caiechse him before the spectators
| in the rudeSt and most imperious manner,
| demanded TO know why he had not proceed
ed TO the discharge of his duties, and stating
that he had not appointed him to remain In
the country; upon which johnson proceeded
| to explain that the Government would be at
| no inconvenience. as business had detained
him, &c, &c. This apology still further
aroused the ire of Mr.. Buchanan, and as he
was proceeding TO renew his lecture, Johnson
! fired up told him that he never asked for the
| office of consul at Havre, that it bad been
voluntarily rendered him, and that he was
not under the slightest obligations to Mr..
| Buchanan for it; that he bad done quite as
much for him as he q. Il. )had done for John
sou, &c. &c. All this transpired while Mr..
Secretary Cobb. Mr.. Secretary Thompson
and the ladies of the Presidential party,
were sitting or standing by.
Johnson started out quite periodically
with the Press on the LecOmpton question,
but patronage was too much tor him, and he
fell by the way-side, and became refcely Ad.
ministralion; in consideration of which, as
well as bis early advocacy of Mr.. Buchanan'-
nomination. he was willing to accept the post
of consul to Liverpool or to London.

DEAR SIR:
You are notified of your appointment, in
connection
as a Democratic Committee for District
In view of the extraordinary effort being

are expecting from the Inactivity of Demo-
Gratis it has been deemed advisable, in con-
necti0n with your judgment to make the fol-
lowing suggestions: ...a..
LIST. Divide your District into three parts,
so as to enable each member OF the commit
tee to visit his division between this and the
day of election.
I'd. Let each committeeman see that all the
Democrats in his bounds go to the polls On
the day of election.
Sd. II any Democrat be disaffected or luke;
warm, let him be visited 10y such one of the
committee as will haze the greatest influence
with him, so he may be put right If posi-
Bile.
that Col REAY is now regarded as the DEM
vote OF the entire party. This is of the great
est interest to us just at this time.
To these suggestions your Judgment will
add others. suitable to accomplish the objects
in view. The point is TO get our people to
the polls; this done. all is safe but if they re-
main at home, all is in doubt. With your
aid for few days in the good work, we hope
to put old Democratic Sumner right upon the
record.

The President has no sympathy with
Pennsylvania.

ChhSy
Occasional" the Washington correspOn-
dent of Forney's Journal. writes as follows:
Ninety years ago the celebrated Junius
wrote letter to bis Grace the Duke of Bed
ford, which / read the other morning and
found the latter part of 1t singularly ana
strikingly applicable to his Grace the Pres-
dent OF the United States. 1t is dated on the
18th of September 1863. refer those who
are curious in such matters to the concluding
passages. instead of copying them into this
communication. Twelve years ago, while Mr.
Buchanan was Secretary of State under
James K. Polk. he was smitten with the idea
of cutting loose forever from the State oil
Pennsylvania and of spending the sunset OF
his life in another State, if not IN another
country Indignant and alarmed at the
local prejudice which had been excited
against him at his own home, he declared
more than once that he never would return TO
Lancaster; and you win recollect how con
stahtly you were engaged ia defending him,
because of his extraordinary letter to the tax
collector of that place, in which he attempted
to escape the payment of his taxes, on the
ground that he was no longer citizen OF
Pennsylvania.
1 have every reason to believe that he IS
once more deeply impressed with the pro-
priety Ofcuttng loose forever from his native
State at the close of his Presidential term. 1
do not think he toH return 10 Lancaster 10 reside
there peTnaaentIy should lie slrripe until 1861.
There are few attractions for him there. Most
of his contemporaries have departed. The
yonng and gallant spirits, who once clustered
80 enthusiastically around his standard, no
longer respond to his call. no longer defend
his course; but are now either ranked among
his open enemies, or among the cold and
silent spectators of his shifting and treacher-
ous pOlicy Washington is a place in which
Mr.. Buchanan could pleasantly spend his
last hours. He is fCnd of public life, aud
has large circle of acquaintance. Society
here is always agreeble, particularly during
the sittings of Congress, and he could either
bury himselfin retirement or forget the events
of his Administration in the gaiety and ex-
citement of the metropolis.

@- The prestige of the democratic party

s- The prestige of the democratic party
is broken, lis legions are disheartened. The
decentralization of its national organization
is but a symbol of its condition in Tennessee.
One united and vigorous charge all along its
lines will do the work. We will scatter it to
the winds. Their batteries have been already
turned upon them, and they are trembling
and staggering and covering under the ter
rible blows they are receiving. We shall not
now be content with a mere victory-we
can, if we mill, totally overwhelm them, and
send them from the field routed, horse, foot
and dragons. We strike for the Governor, a
majority. of The Congressional delegation
and both branches Of the Legislature. We
have information within the last two days
that fully iustifes these calculations. Let
every man labor as if the fate Of the day
rested on his single arm.

My- Great as have been the boasts of sham

the Opposition, contest with them every
point, and nothing can save them.
