The gray-haired old public functlonary's "a.
II. o. P. F.) last message-and God be praised
that it is his LASTS an insulting, outrageous,
reasonable, scandalous libel upon free peo-
pie, free institutions and constitutional govern
ment. We hope everybody has read it, fer it
would give US pain to believe that such an in
fiction was in store for any freeman. 1t must
have been inspired by southern whiskey, and
that of the weakest and meanest kind. 1t GER
tainly could not have been written under the in
fuence of what is vulgarly called " fighting
rum"
Buchanan has inflicted rreparable evils upon
these United States, during his administration,
and in its last moments, he is doing what he
can to hurl into ruin tho fair fabric of our lib
critics. He argues the cause of the enemies Of
his country, and invites them to the attack
He tells them his hands are tied-that though
the government is magnificent and strong
lion, fearful to look upon, its claws and tangs
have been drawn, and it is securely held by a
strong chain. 1t can roar terribly, but it is
ror ct preterea nihl, and powerless in action as
a sucking dove.
But we have no patience to dwell upon the
laundering aud criminal imbecility exhibited in
this message. Its author has many political
sins to atone for but this is the chiefest Of them
all. How unsatisfactory to our sense of even
handed justice it is, to reflect, that, while Blu.
chanan has body to be kicked, the country
has no boot with which to perform the opera
ton

Latest from Washington.

Adyices from Washington Indicate that the
secession excitement lie fast coming to crisis
There is probably no doubt but what part of the
most southern Of tho Southern States will Sc
cedc from tho Union. Resident Buchanan does
not seem to have any back bone, while his cab
met is fast going to pieces A dispatch says
WASHINGTON, Dec H.
Secretary Cass has this afternoon finally de-
clded to resign, finding himself at variance with
President Buchanan in enforcing the laws of
the United States and defending her forts, and
not desiring to be in office when the government
is broken up, as 1t doubtless will be.
The indications are that Dickinson of New
York will be his successor as Secretary of State.
Little confidence is placed in the assurances
that South Carolina will not resist the federal
authorities during the present administration
They are regarded as mere promises to quiet ap-
prehension in official quarters.
General Scott has expressed the opinion that
additional forces should be sent to South Caro-
lima for the protection of the public property.
The President, however, is opposed to such an
increase for prudential reasons, baing confident
that it would only augment the present excite
ment.
There was an understanding in the Commit
tee Of Thirty three to-day that the proceedings
excepting results, should not be revealed for
publication. 1t is known, however, that seve-
raj propositions looking for political concilia-
non were presented and read but not acted up
on. The prospect of accommodation is about
the same as yesterday. In order to afford time
for consideration the Committee adjourned I'M
til Monday.
The publication Of the Southern manifesto
produced depressing effect upon the conscrya-
tives, who say they are satisfied that the South
members are opposed to any compromise.
1t is rumored that Mr. Douglas will declare in
the Senate soon, that it is the duty Of the Pres.
ident to resist secession by the force Of arms

An Argument for South Carolina.

MAJOR. PRrNIsH.-The constitution provides
that " private property shall not be taken for
public use without just compensation"
Minor PREMIsE.-Thc Slave States have so
long held the federal government as their "pr-
vato property that they have " got it,, as the
lawyers say, d" by possession
CoNCLUsIoN.-Thc election of Honest Abe,
takes this " private property" from the Sou tn
{" for phblc uso," without "just compensa-
tion," ergo, that election is unconstitutional,
and ought to be resisted, poaceably if posi-
bic, forcibly if necessary"

The Cancellation Committee at Washington,
by vote Of % to s, have passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Gem
mittoe, the existing discomfort among the South
ern people, and the growing hostility among
them to the Federal Government, are greatly to

ties Of their peculiar rights and interests are
recognized by the Constitution, necessary to
preserve the peace Of the country and the per-

We are glad to record the vote of Vermont
against such humiiating and shilly-shalIy
proposition. New England entire, with Now
York and Wisconsin, voted no. South Carolina
and Florida volu ntarily absented themselves
from the ComiaitteP, and Mississippi didn't
vote!

But 1t seems even this prostration of the
North does not satisfy the fre-eaters, for the
next day they issued the following manifesto
WASHINGTON, Dec 14-The Southern mem
bers assembled at the rooms of Hon. Reuben
Davis of Miss. last evening. Those present
signed tho following declaration

the honor, safety and independence Of the

We see that the Ncosdea7r, a small news
paper just commenced at IIydepork, is trying
to sail between wind and water, and please all
parties, SO as to get a livelihood, This may be
all very pleasing to the silver grcys of Lamoillo
County, but it is not the policy to get hearty
and sufficient support, There have been seyo-
raj attempts to make new papers live In this
State, by dish-water, good Lord, good devil
policy, but six months has always found them
begging us to take their lists. If the Ne,os-
dealer will take our advice, it will not be found
drifting before the wind, nor dipping, founder
ing in the waves. Stand up to true Republi-
can principles, and you will need no guarantee
Of success.

The Cancellation Committee of the tho House
of Representatives adopted, by vote of %
to 9, the following resolution, proposed by the
Hon W. NJ. Dunn of Indiana, Republican
member:
" Reso'red, That in the opinion of this Com
mittcc, the existing discomfort among the
Southern people, and the growing hostility
among them to the Federal Government are
greatly to be regretted, and that, whether such
discomfort and hostility are without Just cause
or not. any reasonable and constitutional rem
odics and additional and more specific and
eifectual guarantees of their peculiar rights and
interests as recognized by the Constitution,
necessary to preserve the peace of the country
and the perpetuation of the Union, should be
promptly and cheerfully granted"
So far, so good. 1t does not yet appear how
far MIR. Dunn and the other gentlemen voting
for this resolution are prepared to admit and
establish in the new Compromise the doctrine
that slaves are property under the Constitution
and that Slavery must consequently be protect
ed by the Federal Government in the Territories
and in the States. Whether anything less than
that will satisfy the revolutionists is not yet as
certained, - Tribune.
