Now, we have the same old story again. l do noss say that the President proposes any such thing, | or that he has any designs or views in it but know this the other morning the Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. BigIer,) who it was Said, represented the Presdent-and he did not deny it when he was called upon by the Senator from New Hampshire-gave us his views on the tariff. As the Senator from New Hampshire said the President had not been invited to the Democratic caucus, or from some other cause, he did not agree with them, aud the gentleman from Pennsylvania, repre- senting the Presidents views on the tariff, went in for pretty large incidentalism on iron for Pennsylvania. If his Cuba horse, his Cuba hobby, can tickle the South, and upon the iron question ne can hang the old Keystone State to him by bars of iron and hooks of steel, he will be very apt to stand in pretty good po- sition for demanding a nominations position I where he can say Gentlemen just step upon the platform here is your candidate; yon must take him you cannot do without him.

 l know, MT. President that it has been mentioned often, laughingly, that there has been belief that if nothing else, your luck would kill him that you got everything you ever went for. all you wanted, and that if there was nothing else in the way, he would never survive your luck. Laughter.] We'll, sir, I have taken good look at him. He looks firm, pretty substantial, and strong and tell you the white of your eye is too white and all the conjuraton and witchcraft, and incantations of which you may be master, cannot avail. give it as my opinion-I am somewhat of doctor, acquainted with hygiene-I give it as my de- cided opinion that he is good for ten years, and l profoundly ask your pardon for saying so. 1 know he has said that he only wanted to run for one term, but Jackson talked that way, and l suppose Jackson was nearly as frE: man, and probably as pure man as MT. Buchanan Of Mr. Buchanan personally l desire to say nothing. Although Gen. Jackson only wanted one term, he was willing to serve another. Ce- sar thrice put away the crown and yet he took it. But beyond all history or example, never knew Scotchman when he had got grip upon any thing, and had it in his grasp, who would ever let go, if it was a good thing, until T To -1l from him and then if it were in his power he would send it to some lineal, favorite son of his in politics, l mean, for none he has other wise. Laughter.

Buchanan shall serve eight years according to the usage of the earlier Presidents and he hatters himself that he can get Cuba as Jefferson got Louisiana and think, by thai 1 time, it will come to be the turn for South ern man once more and, although it has beer said that Old Virginia never tires think before then he will be getting little impa tient and her descendants are not so patient

 Well, Sir, this is fl fght in which I have Il, hand. Let them make it up amang them. do not wish to say anything harsh or severe a l bout the Democracy. I admonish you of that because of my position here,

 Some banquet hall deserted,
 Whose lights fled,
 Whose garlands dead, | And all but he departed"
