From ths wa.siass.n Consultation.


Next to the baseness which prompted C0vcde and
his confederates in the proceeding which has OBJ
tanned an infamous notOrietY, is that which now in
snuates an apology for it on the pretense that there
has been look Of abuse and corruption about the
Administration This is the audacoUs plea Of that
organ of Seward in the city Of New York whose
immaculate reputation gives il such title to pirate
about purity and integrity. gross and fragrant
outrage upon official decOrum and constitutional
right is perpetrated at the instgatiOn of malignant
and vindietive parsans and then this act itself is
brought forward an indication that there must
be some ground for it! We are impudently told
that there must be something rotten the slate,
these accusations would not be made. Nor is this
all. YOung persons who are just entering upon
political life, and others who are imperfectly ac-
quainted with political histories, and know little Of
the excuses to which party animosity will drive
men, are worked upon by an imposing array Of
charges; and they are urged to beheve that such
cusatiOns would never have been brought against
an upright and interrupted Chief MagisUrate
Now, without referring to the analOgies to the
present case Of malicious assault upon President
Buchanan which are presented in the histories Of
Of his later predecessors, we will simpl yrecall
TO those who employ such mode of argument the
conduct Of some of their own prototypes towards
General Washington. Mr.. Buchanan himself quoted,
in his Protest from the lofty and affecting appeal Of
the Father of his Country, contained in letter to
Mr.. Jefferson, showing in what exaggerated and in
decent terms he had been assailed. Marshal's bio
Of the same spirit the part of his enemies That
historian states generally:
Notwithstanding the extraordinary popularity
Of the first President of the United States scarcely
did any act of administration escape the most bit
ter invective.n
Even his mode of life and style Of entertainment
were stigmatized:
&" The levees of the President and the evening
PARTIES of Mrs. Washington were said to be imita-
tons of regal institutions, designed to accustom the
American people to the pomp and manners CT Eu-
rOpean courts"
These defamers stopped at nothing that could vii
lily OF degrade the greatpatriot:
% With equal virulence the military and political
character of the President attacked, and he was
averred to be totally destitute Of merit either as
soldier or statesman"
An impeachment was more than once publicly
suggested and some Covode or Haskin of that day
unblushIngly asserted. according to Marshall, that
he had drawn from the treasury for his private use
more than the salary annexed to his office ]"
Did these wretched libelers obtain victory over
the reputation of Washington? No; they are con
signed to universal scorn. And such will be the
fact Of the cOnfederated caumniatOrs Of President
Buchanan; while, with the people, the confidence
felt in the integrity of their Chief Magistrate VIII
remain mistaken!

Court; verdict and Judgment were rendered for the
defendant and an appaalin error TO this Court
The suit is founded upon an obligation executed
by Cuson to Clark for Sl25o0, (which may be dis
charged ia good merchantable upper leather at six
ty cents per pound, to be delivered at Street lYder
Depot, against the 18th Of December 1857.
The proof shows that the 25th Of December,
1857, the defendant deposited a parcel Of upper
leather il the store of Spilnan and Vaughn in the
town of Sweet Water, for the plaintiff. 1t appears
that the leather was Of good quality and that the
quantity of the value at sixty cents per pound
of more than sl2500. 1t further appears, that the
store Of Spiman 8 Vaughn twas near the depot
but entirely disconnected with 1.-THE distance be-
tween the places is not stated.
The jury were instructed by his honor, the Cir
cult Judge, "that if there understanding be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant. that the leather
should be delivered at the store to the depot
and it so delivered on the day specified in the
contract it would be a satisfaction, &c.
This instruction, we think, was erroneous. We
perceive no sufficient evidence in this record of any
such understanding" between the parties. But if
such verbal agreement had been made, it would
have been inadmissable the ground that it d.
rectly contradictory Of the written instrument,
which likes definite place for the delivery of the
leather The proximity of the store to the depot IS
matter altogether irrelevant definite place be-
ing fixed in the instrument the delivery must be at
/ ttet place

Ben PERLEYP ooT OUrnoNE.-One OF the most sim
rular vagers we ever heard of was made in Chica-
90 on the dav before the municipal election in that
c;+,-. The bet was bctwccna Water strcetmerchant

CHAR ana tobacco dealer in the city. and was to the
effect that if Wentworth was elected. Osborne
should have the privilege OF kicking the Water
s+,.et merchant aforesaid from the fremont House
+o Springer street The day after the election. the
merchant having lost came to Osbornes store, and
r,vosented his person to him Tor the contemplated
kicks. and demanded that Osborne should take the
stakes Osborne had been training his right Lee all
the previous day, and had armed his foot with a
heavy covhdc boot. with solcs as thick as two clap
boards. Themerchant started up by the fremont
Osborne delivering heavy kick as he started, but
drew bacl, his foot with spasmodc action and pa
ovvsn1 of countenauce absolutely pitituL lie tried
another one but the loser finched not. and kept OF
his WAY undistur bed by the vollcy he had received
Tho os,t OF this was worse than the first and he
fairly curled up on the ground and howled with
main The merchant stopped and calmly inquired:

The Patriot Of yesterday has communication
from Washington dated April ID in which the most
vituperative language is used in relation to the
President In its issue Of Monday, the Patriot had
a Washington communication dated April 3d. head
ed d. The Administration CorruptiOns' We submit
that in publishing such communications it would be
but simple Justice for the Patriot let its readers
know the political complexion of the papers for
which they are prepared. We take it that those
referred to were written by a Black Republican
correspondent for a Black Republican paper, pub
lished in a Black Republican State. We think we
saw the one of the Sd in the New York Tribune
In its issue of Saturday, the Patriot had article
upon .. The Presidents Protest accredited to the
Washington correspondent of the New York Herald,
which we are inclined TO think was mistake. The
Bqaer Of yesterday publishes the same article, but
attributes it TO GIEEEYs Washington correspondent
We have no right to object to the publication with
out comment of Black Republican communications
in Southern Opposition papers. But when South
ern Opposition journals disseminate political inform
alton prepared by the hirelngs Of the Black Repub-
lican press. Justice demands that Southern readers
should know the source from which such informa-
