THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Cincinnati Commercial" which has
constantly supported the Republican party, in
a late issue says:
1T will be unfortunate for the Republican
party to be obliged to go into the next Prcsiden-
tlal canvass upon its platform alone, for the rca-
son that il is doc;rinally erroneous. II sets forth
that which is not true. and which, We are con-
yinced, 10 majority Of the people even of the
Northern States will endorse. If the Republi-
can party elects It's candidate. it must do it by
means OF forces that are now looked upon as
belonging 20 the Democracy. 1t has not the ne.
cessarv strength of its own; and things. remain
inc as they are. the result Of the coming battle
seems to US TO he more than q matter OF doubt.
In order TO gain the necessary force from the
other side, 1t must remove the obstacles thst
stand in its platform-obstacles that sent thou
sands into the Democratic ranks at the last
election. Having felt it right, all things con-
sidered. to give our support 10 the Republican
candidate. at the last presidential election, and
having faithfully sought to discover the agen-
cies which wrought most strongly to prevent
his success. we feel some competency TO speak
upon this point. We do not discover that the
Republican party is stronger now than 1t was
in 1856. The charge Of sectiOnalism made
against the party, upon the testimony Of iS
platform. was true then and is true still. The
sectionalism was then a cause Of weakness; II
has been and will continue to he so. II was
not necessary IN any aspect Of the case. The
people did not demand it: and they are less
willing to tolerate i, now than when the issue
! made BY the platform was obscured By one
more iminent, because more Immediately
practical"

NJ uor,aore and Internal improvements

The Alexandra Gazette" the Frcdcricks-
burg News the L%ynchburg "Virginian,"
and others of our opposition cotemporaries, are
mnch exercised at the fact that Colonel Clay
brooks announcement as to the position Of the
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor
on the question Of State internal improvements,
was heard only by the members OF the
Convention and the few outsiders present as
spectators. This is undoubtedly true. 1t would
be very strange if it we're not. Col. Clayorook
is by no means deficient in force Of lungs; but
ne doub. whether any man in Virginia could
stand on the platform Of Phoenix Hall, and
make his language ineligible to people ont
side the building, especially when the windows
were closed.
But if our contemporaries mean to say thai
Col. Claybrook's announcement received no
furher publication, We mus, inform them at
once Ia. they are entirely mistaken. by re.
ference n the files Of the Enquirer for the
last thirty lays, they will find its re-publica'
ton more tina. once repeated. And if this be
not enough, we WI rc-publish as often as shall
be desired. Be it k'-wn, then, yet again. that

SORROW at the sudden death Of Judge Samuels,

MIR AND MRS BUCHANAN.

In the Insane Asylum. at New York, one OF
the most noted characters imagined herself to
be Mrs. Buchanan, and preSidentess of the
United States; and an insane person calling
himself James Buchanan. and laboring under
the impression that he is President of the
United States, has been in the habit of visiting
the New York mayors office frequently, and
making very liberal offers of assistance to the
CORPORATION His chief anxiety relates to the
piers and wharves, to repair which he offers to
give the city a million Of dollars. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Buchanan got noisy, and the
mayor ordered an officer to put him out. lie
went pcaccably to the door, when he suddenly
turned upon the officer and knocked HIM nat
with 4 single blow. The officer rallied in man.
" style. but Buchanan had the advantage.
Other officers interfered, and after a stout
struggle. the foe welded.
