The ADMINIsTRATIoN.-Hon. r. j. Ryan, of Indi-
ana who was recently appointed Minister to Bogota,
was hopored with complimentary dinner at Indian
apolis on the Goth ult. He acknowledged the COM
pliment (serousy says the Washington Union of the
sth inst) in handsome speech, concluding with the
following peroration:
~ give, in conclusion, as sentiment said Mr.
Ryan, "the bright and spotless administration of
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania When thrones
the landmark of our countrys history, rearing itself
amid legal ruins and nations dissolution, political
pyramid in the solitude of tme beneath whose shade
kings shall moulder, and around whose summit Eter-
nifty must play :"
Mr.. Buchanan is an unfortunate man, at least so
far as his official newspaper organ has any influence
upon his personal political fortunes. The calling
of Ryan's absurd inflated and ridiculous balderdash,
"a handsome Speech" is sufficient to overwhelm any
one with ridicuIe The Union ought to be taught
better sense, or the President should formally and
publicly cut its acquaintance.
Then, again, the idea that "Ete,nity must play
around the orbit, or upon the 'summit" of an Ad.
ministraton which has been wretched and humili
ating failure, almost from its commencement up to
the present moment, is so very rich, SO supremely
unctuous that the language is povertystricken wher
it regards it,
We imagine ETERNITY will have something more
sensible to attend to than playing around the Ad
mnistration Of James Buchanan If it hasn't, it ha
better shut up shop and quit business eternally!

THE SWORD OF WALLAcE.-A correspondent of the
Glasgow Gazette complains Of the neglect with which
this historical relic is treated. The writer went to
visit the sword at Dumbarton Castle and was shocked
at seeing place Of emptiness regards one single
stand of arms to uphold the it bears. No arms
were there but two Highland dirks, a Lochaber axe
and on the WALL carelessy hung and irreverenty ex
posed without covering the least thing protect
it, the sword of Scotand's great rtyrpatriot But
this is not all as respects the sword, with its thrilling
associations. Some awkward creature, in taking IL
down from the wall, has apparently let 1t ail, ana
there it is about to break in two and fnrther the
iron rust all over it is doing its work OF destruction
| silently and surely.
