Mr.. Simonton, writing to the Times about
the leading popularity of Mr.. Buchanan's
character, says:
"Do you remember the characteristic letter
of Hon. L. NJ. Keitt of South Carolina, writing
from White Sulphur Springs, in which he re-
ferred to the President as ''weak, paralytic
old man, or words to that effect? Keitt evil
IDENTIFY struck "lead, and, when he came to
Washington, Old Buck was after him straight,
of course, merely to show him that he was not
half so paralytic, nor near so old, as Mr. K
supposed him and from that time there was
no courtesy or mark of kind appreciation that
the President failed to lavish upon the man
who had so justly dashed him. So, too, the
first man who openly and deliciously scored
President Buchanan, in the United States Sen
ate, was the amiable and able Senator Hale of
New Hampshire. Prior to that time, Mr.. Blu
chonan never thought of extending any cour-
tesy or civility to the SO prominent BLACK Re
publican" but f1aying his moral cuticle had
its usual remarkably softening influence upon
the Presidents heart, and this Winter the SEN
ators legs have actually been invited under
the Presidents mahogany, upon an occasion
when Mr.. Buchanan treated him with most
marked consideration and attention. AT least,
so | am informed"
Mrs. Gore Ousley is very fat, homely old
woman, but full of ambition, and of very mas
culine temperament. To her has been accred-
tied many of the diplomatic successes of her
husband And it would be in perfect keeping
with her character and disposition, fit should
turn out that the removal of Napier was
brought about through plot laid by herself
for the ultimate purpose of gaining for Sir
Gore Ousley the title and distinction of minis
ter from Great Britain to the United States.
Whatever credence may be attached to the
story of this lady's participation in the expose
of Napier's intrigues at Washington, there
seems to be very little doubt of the truth of
the scandalous reports about the British minis
ter. If Napier's gross immortality has been
made available to secure his own recall, and
the advancement of other parties, he has got
what he deserved for his degradation. Utica
