The Prcsident in Tears.

From the New ork Times.
Mr. Buchanan is evidently aggrieved.-
The Message which he sent to Congress
yesterday is one Of the most lachrymose
documents ever issued from the White
House. 1t is vehement appeal to public
compassion, too humiiatng to inspire re-
spect, and not sufficiently dignified to en-
list any considerable degree of sympathy.
1t is in every respect a painful document
one which will be read everywhere with
surprise, and which is much more likely to
excite contempt than any more amiable or
respectful sentiment.
The House of Representatives propose to
inquire into the manner in which Mr.. Bu-
chanan has discharged the Executive duties
of which, during all his life, he has sought
the responsibility. If he were a neophyte
in politics, ignorant of political chicanery
and the arts of intrigue and corruption
which pave the way of ambitious and aspi-
ring demagogues-if he had been suddenly
snatched by despairing country from the
seclusion of private life, and thrust into pub
lie service as the last hope Of a decaying
State-there would be room to believe his
astonishment and protestations to be sin
cere. But, as he boasts in this very Mes
sage, he has been in office all his life. He
has filled every grade of public trust. He
has climbed step by step the ladder of pro-
motion-ho has devoted all his life to the
one task of mounting to the goal which he
has finally reached. There is nothing in
the shape of intrigue, of political trickery,
which be has not tried, and by which he
has not pro6ted His protestations of un-
snspecting innocence will not carry convic-
ton; nor will his plea of gray hairs excite
compassion.
The special pleading by which Mr.. Bu-
chanan seeks to evade the investigation
which has been set on foot, is neither spe-
cious nor Impressive. If he is as free from
fault as he alleges, an inquiry can do him
no harm. If not, it will do the country
much good. Letit, by all means, go on.

Walter was exhausted, and they laid him
down in tho bottom of il and showed off,
The canoe was furnished with oars and roll
backs. James and Isaac took their seats at
the oars with their backs towards the De-
troit shore, struck in the oars as strong and
active men would in such case, till they
supposed they were in the middle of the
river, and out Of sight and hearing from tho
Canada shore. AT this point Walter who
had been rendered breathless, and tainted
in tho race, came to, and told them to give
him a paddle, as be was able to steer. The
Judge, in narrating this adventure, said that
il seemed to him as if the canoe leaped out
of the water at every stroke of the oars. At
the middle of the river they Stacked their
exertions, 10 rest a little and take obserya-
tion. They soon gained breath and found
their direction, and then pulled leisurly TO
the landing from which Mey had started.
Isaac's 800 would be forfeited if he kept the
canoe over three hours, and he found the
Frenchman, who hoped for the forfeit, 10th
to wake, but finally succeeded in making
him acknowledge he was awake, receive the
canoe aud refund the ninety dollars, less
three, the agreed price for the use of the
craft. After half an hour spent at this
place and in reaching John Palmcr's tavern,
they found it lacked five minutes Of two
hours from the time they left the landing
on the American side.
With the Judge himself, and with others
who knew the facts, it is still wonder how
Isaac got Walter over the pickets of that
Jail yard, and this rescue was considered one
of the most daring and successful of the
northern adventures, The Judge said, 81
was in Major Holmes command on the
Thames when we were $50 surrounded by
about 5000 British, and yet entering that
Jail in the dark was more trying to my
nerves than that battle. But as soon as the
jailor walked and spoke, and had some
thing to do, all my courage and coolness
came to me at once. / was cool and de-
termined; 4; did not wish to injure the jailor,
but l had determined to save my brother,
and we did"

Personal Description of Hon. Edward
Hates.

The following is said to be faithful per
sonal description of the Hon. Edward
Bates:
Mr.. Bates is about sixty-four years Of
age, is about five feet seven inches in hight,
and is rather stoutly built, and stoops a
good deal, particularly so when addressing
court or jury, but when particularly inter
ested or excited in the trial of suit, or in
addressing popular assembly, often be-
comes as straight as a reed. His hair fif-
teen years ago was pure jet black, and
was so stiff and unmanageable that he al
ways wore it, and yet does, cropped close
to the head. Within The past ten years
he has grown very grey. His forehead is
square and not high, and has large breadth.
His eyes are black, small and deeply set,
with shaggy brows. His nose is broad and
nostrils wide, and perhaps believer in La
water would say that his nose was his best
feature. His mouth is well formed and
lips rather thin for beauty. His chin is
prominent, cheekbones hardly observable,
although his face is not full. The tones of
his voice are very mild and pleasant

Admission of Kansas.

The House Com. on Territories has re-
ported bill to admit Kansas under the
Wyandotte Constitution. The report states
that eleven out of twenty new States have
been admitted without any enabling act by
Congress; that fully two-thirds of Kansas,
ot fair election, adopted the new Consti-
tuition.
The election returns show that Kansas
has 1900 votes, and at least three-ffths
of the Congressional districts in which the
present delegation were elected had less
than this number Of votes polled. The ar
gument of the Committee is overwhelming
in favor of the admission of Kansas, and
we trust the House will promptly pass the
bill and let the Senate or the President take
the responsibility of rejecting it, should

ment SEQ proper to do SO.

shall commence their publication, that the

Green Creek Township Election.

The Republican ticket was elected in
Green Creek by an average majority of
over eighty. The Democracy made great
effort, but they found they had more than
their match in the Republicans of that
township. Green Greek will be good for
upwards of 100 majority for the nominee
of the Chicago Convention.

AN ExcITING TME.-The ice started
down in the Kenduskeag on Saturday after
noon last, the Bangor Wing states, break
ing up for considerable distance below the
lower bridge. When the jam moved, three
little boys, of eight TO ten years of age,
were playing on the ice above Central
bridge, and we're carried along on the Jam,
apparently in position of great peril, cry
ing bitterly and creating an intense excite
ment among the hundreds of spectators
upon the bridges. As the ice passed swift
ly beneath the lower bridge, Mr.. Gilbert
Estabrook, with great courage, and noble
disregard of danger, dropped from the bridge
upon the rushing mass, and took charge of
the little fellows, keeping them upon the
larger and safer cakes Of ice, until the jam
stopped, and they were all drawn by means
of ropes upon one Of the wharyes below.
