The New York lTo,ld-neutral in politics
closes a review of James Buchanan's ad-
ministration as follows:
"Assuming power at a time of profound
peace. he is about to abandon it in the midst,
not Of Turmoil! merely, bu, of revou,ion.-
Commencing his administration with an O.
yertlowirg treasury, he will close it leaving
an empty exchequer, crippled resources, and
4 load of debt. Inaugura,ed with the ac-
claim OF powerful. and triumphant party, his
alewell viii be an occasion of sad rejoicing
20 the conquered and demoralizeJ factions
;rto which the party has been torn. Ii. has
rot been free from the charge ct abandoning
is friends now his friends. one after anot!l-
er. abandon him and the s!nkng cause to
"h>h he cliEss-a perilnus AID fatal weight
He has shown tirmess in rcprdiating obiga-
lions, and vacitiation in action involving tue
integrity of the state. Tie has exhibited cour-
age in promoting schemes of personal ag-
grandizement, and cowardice in protecting
he property and guarding the lives of the
officers of the federal government. He en-
tered the presidents chair with reputation
;or craftsmanship he leaves it amid gencr-
al question of his sanity. History may pos
sioly modify somewhat the harshness of con.
temporary judgment upon his administration;
but not even history can rescueit from frs,
place among the weakest and worst which
the country has endured"
