gale came up from the sou SOU west;
Twas fierce November weather:
But the ship had felt such a storm before,
And her planks still held together
And thus, though the bowling tempest showed
No signs OF diminution,
The passengers said "We'll trust our ship,
The staunch old Constitution |"
The captain stood on the quarter-deck-
"The seas" he said, "they batter us:
Twas my watch below in the former gale
doubt If wen weather Hatteras.
The wind on the one side blows me off
The current sets me shoreward:
I'll Just lay-to between them both,
And SEEM to be going forward"
"Breakers ahead |" cried the watch on the bow
"Hard up !" was the first mates order;
"She feels the ground swell" the passengers cried
"And the seas already board herr
The fore-sail split in the angry gust;
In the hold the ballast shifted;
And an old tar said--"If jackson steered
We shouldn't thus be drifted
But the captain cried; "Let go your helm !"
And then he called to the bo'swan;
"Pipe all hands to the quarterback,
And wen save her by Devotion"
The first mate hurled his trumpet down;
The old tars cursed together
To see the good ship helpless roll
AT the sport of wave and weather.
The tattered sails are all a-back,
Yards crack, and masts are started;
And the captain weeps and says his prayers,
Till the hull be mid ships parted;
But God is on the steersman 8 side
The crew are in revolution:
The wave that washes the captain off
Will save the Constitution

Buchanan on secession.

New York, Dec. ~.
The Times publishes letter from Presi-
dent Buchanan to citizen of Philadelphia
on secession. 1t cites various articles in
the Constitution, stating that they are en-
tirely inconsistent with the alleged suprep-
acy of State laws, and the claim of abso-
Lutte sovereignty is entirely irreconciable
with the Constitution. 1t is clearly his
opinion that no State can secede from the
Union, as it is impossible to destroy the
Union, except by revolution.
Ihave, after grave reflection, determined
not to pursue that limo of conduct which,
although it might be legal, would end in
civil strife and the overthrow OF our present
form of government. Although it would
appear that my line of duty was plain and
rugged, yet am firmly persuaded that in
stead of restoring order and obedience,
would have caused war. 1t is massacre al
the South, the seizure of the National Cap
ital, the Constitution overthrown, military
dictator appointed, to end perhaps, in the
formation of Constitutional Monarchy
The only means l have now at my com
mand centre in exhortation to the people as
nation, to implore assistance from al
overruling Providence to avert the dangers
which now beset our beloved land.

missibe. We write plainly, for the times
require it. We regret to see Republicans
busying themselves with projects Of com
promise Of any description. Let them at
tend to the proper business Of legislation.
They began very we'll. The prompt action
of Mr.. Grow and Mr.. Sherman in regard to
the Homestead bill and Treasury Note
Bill, and the equally prompt action Of th Q
House, under their lead, was most accepta-
bio to the country. Let that line Of action
be followed up in both branches. Let the
acts necessary TO secure the early election
of members of Congress in the States
which have not elected, be promptly
passed, so that Mr.. Lincoln may have it in
his power to convene Congress if expedi-
ent, Immediately after bis inauguration
Let all legislation necessary to the prompt
enforcement Of existing laws by the present
Executive be provided without delay
Then let the Senate pass the Tariff bill,
the Homestead bill, and the Kansas bill
which have already passed the House, and
we are much mistaken if the hsppiest con-
sequences do not follow in the restoration
of confidence, the revival of business, and
therevival of prosperity.
Let the existing Administration and the
party in power take their just responsibility
in upholding the Union and enforcing the
laws. Republicans will not be backward
to second every honorable endeavor to reach
these great ends. But let Republicans wait
before taking the responsibility of measures
of adjustment till they have a Republican
Administration. We have perfect faith 10
Mr.. Lincoln. He will fulfil, we confidently
believe, every expectation as wise, faithful
and upright Chief Magistrate, devoted to
the Union, and just to every section of the
country.
Let us wait for his administration, and
then take counsel together, and see if some
measure of adjustment may not be devised,
just to all the States, and all the citizens
of the Republic, but offending neither the
moral convictions nor honorable sentiments
of any, and through which permanent peace
and "a more perfect Union" may be estab-
lished in our land.

RUSSIAN EMANoIPATIoN.--The recent
announcement that the emancipation of the
Russian serfs had been postponed to an in
definite period in the future, appears to
have been without foundation. A st. Pc
Petersburg letter of Nov. /, states that the
emancipation of the serfs will be formally
decreed on the first day of January next
The ministers are now engaged in examin-
ing the reports of the fifty-two emancipa-
tion committees, to draw up tho final act
and submit it to the Senate for approval,
and the Emperor has ordered that the busi-
ness must be completed before the above
named period. The number of serfs in
Russia is forty millions, and next New Years
Day will be the greatest day Of rejoicing
Russia ever knew. The serfs are Of the
same races as their owners. How the no,
bility arc to be compensated for the loss oi
their human chattles is not known.

A Curious Wager,
AN ILLINOIS MILLER WINS A SLAVE AND FREES HIM.
The Rock Island Qll.) Register tells the
following curious story:

AN ILLINOIS MILLER WINS A SLAVE AND FREES HIM.
The Rock Island Qll.) Register tells the
following curious story:
aLast summer H. F. Sicltles of Moline, an ex-
tensive miller, met Eldad N Whitford, of ST.
Louis, Missouri, prominent slave holder, when
an animated discussion ensued between them
on the subject of politics, which ended in bet
between the parties, Mr.. Whitford betting a nc
gro with Mr.. Sckles against an amount of flour
equal to the value of the negro, that Abraham
Lincoln could not carry Illinois or New York.
aMr. Whitford returned to st. Louis, and
nothing more was thought of the matter till after
the election, when Mr.. Sickles received a letter
informing him that he had fairly won the bet,
and that the negro was rightfully Mr.. SIS pro-
perty, and requested him to come and take the
negro Mr.. Sckles Immediately went to St.
Louis, met Mr.. Whitford, took possession of his
property and went before the city Recorder OBJ
tanned Charley's free-papers, and handed them
to him, telling him at the same time that he was
free man, and could do with himself as he
pleased. The Joy of the negro was unbounded
at the thought of his being able to say that he
owned himself
"The negro is about thirty five years of age
and is what they term down South "a good likely
negro" active and smart and would have
brought in the southern market from $1,000 to
81 500
"The parties to this transaction have acted in
an honorable manner and Mr. Sickles will al
ways have the satisfaction of knowing that he
has been the means of giving liberty to one Of
Gods down -trOdden children. He may feel q
more Just pride in this one act than though he
had won an empire"

Martin Van Buren's Opinion of MIR
Lincoln.


The New York correspondent OF the Port
land advertiser writes:
"At private dinner party in this city recently,
Ex- President Van Buren, related a personal
reminiscence of Mr.. Lincoln, which affords adj
ditional testimony of high character to the
already well-knOwn ability of the President
elect. In Mr.. Van Buren's Presidential tour
West during his term of Office, committee was
appointed to receive and entertain him while he
STAYED at Springfield. Mr.. Lincoln, who was
then merely local lawyer, and of course not
prominently known beyond his little sphere of
action, was a member of this committee. While
in the presence of the President they engaged
in conversation, and the latter was so much pleas
ed with it that he invited Mr.. Lincoln to spend
the following evening with him, which he ac-
cordingly did. They passed very agreeable
season together, and Mr.. Van Buren, said he was
so fOrcibly struck by the intelligence and high
toned sentiments of the man, his rare and pleas
ing conversational powers, that he often won
dered, when he afterwards mentally reviewed his
Western tour what had become of this man
whom he remembered as one Ofthe most remark
able he ever met. For years he had heard nc
more from him, but frequently recalled to his
mind the marked ability he then displayed
which ever haunted him as one of the most in
terestiRg incidents he met with in the West
and he had at length been forced to conclude
that, talent neglected, the insatiate levelling
made by the gigantic strides of Western progress
misfortune, or an untimely death, had blasted
the bright future which such talents betOkened
The question he had so often asked himsel
had never, till within few years been answered
but during the time he had occasionally hearc
of the obscure Western lawyer who made so ia
vorable and lasting an impression upon him, anC
always as displaying the same commanding
ability and fine Judgment for which he haC
found him remarkable years ago. and now, with
in very short time, he had ascertained wha
had become of that mamie had been raised t,
the highest office in the gift of the people, anC
was adorned with talents TO adorn the station
