And now. having given you the above
statements, l will trcspass q little further
or your space by turning to the int crrogn
tories which the Nion, on Monday last, so
pretcntiously propoundcd to me. They
are. in all, as follows:
"What did Mr. Franklin do with the fifty
six dollars which lie raised for the Beech
Glenn Sabbath School by an exhibition
given whilst he was Superintendent of said
School?
What did hc do with the funds raised
by collections made from sabbath to sab
BATH?
Did he pay for the library? If so, how,
when and how much?
Did he pay all the debts Of that school,
accruing during the time it was under his
management?
Was Mr.. n. one of the trustees who en-
pIoycd Mr.. F. as teacher for the Beech
Glccn District? If so, Was the young man
required to furnish papers, nnd did he do
it; and furthermore, did lie undergo an
examination to test his competency as Il
teacher?
Has not Mr.. F. visited Mr.. Ms house
more than once, twice or thrice?"
And first
"What did Mr.. franklin do with the
fiftv-scrcn dollars &c?

President Buchanan and Secession.

II seems now to be well understood that
President Buchanan does not admit the
right of a State to secede from the Federal
Union, aRd in this position is sustained by
part Of his Cabinet But while he de.
MEG the right Of secession, he doubts the
ezpedirncy or prac.icabIIi,y of res"rting to
coercion. 1t is believed that his forth-com.
ing Message will indicate these views md
that he will submit the whole subjec, to
the direction of Congress. Congress con-
vened on Monday last and the Message
was probably announced yesterday. No
similar document was perhaps ever looked
for with so great interest by the whole
country.
