The President and PTce Presidem Much
has been said about Mr.. Buchanan's prefer;
ences for his successor-Hunter, Breckcn-
bridge. Joe. Lane, Dickinson, and host of
them-ail except Douglas-have claimed
that honor. The following anecdote. the
truthfulness of which is vouched for by q
gentleman who was present, illustrates the
estimation in which ''O Old Buck" holds
" Breck.' The story is told as follows
few days since several Virginia poll
ticianS called at the White House to paw
their respects to the President and in the
course of the conversation Mr.. Buchanan
related with great glee: " When Vice Pres
ident Breckenridge visited Kentucky last
December. for the purpose of making his
speech before the Legislature, he met General
Leslie Coombs, the old Clay leader of the
Wing party of that State, and addressed
him as follows: General Coombs, you
have performed longer service, and more
valuable service, to your party, with less
reward, than any living man. To which
| General Coombs promptly replied Major
Breckenridge. you have performed shorter
service, and less service, for your party,
with greater reward, than any living man..
Whereupon, they liqGored.
Mr.. Buchanan narrated this story to his
/ friends with great gusto, adding that ''many
truth was spoken in jest, and he thought
the old General about right in the estima-
ton of the Vice Presidents services"

pose to arrange matters remains a secret,
but it is more than probable that Hunter
will demand the first chance. Douglas

The people of Saginaw, Mich. are jubi-
liant over their success in boring for salt
water. They boast of the purest brine in
the world, and say that wood is so cheap
that they can make the salt and land it at
Syracuse, New York for what it costs the
manufacturers there for barrels to put it in
The popular excitement is not less than in
the oil regions of Pennsylvania.
