During the late meeting Of the Crane
Division, Sons of Temperance, Of Maryland and
the District of Columbia, held in Washington
about one hundred and fifty of the Sons, paid
visit to President Buchanan. Mr.. GANNT, G. W
P, addressed the President, concluding his re-
marks thus:
"We stand upon the platform Of total absti
nence from all kinds of Intoxicating liquors as
beverage-believing the true cause OF lntemper.
ance to be moderate drinking, and the use ano
abuse of ardent spirits inseparable. l am no,
sure, Mr. President that you stand upon the
same platform, but we believe, essentially agree
in principle. am happy to see in your remark

ing an illustration of the effect of those prlncl
ples practically carried out. And assure you
sir, it is no ordinary privilege, as we'll as plea
sure, that we this day enjoy, in requesting you
to accept, in the name Of the order, through US,

The Presidents reply was short, but full Of
truth and the solid wisdom Of experience. Allu'
ding to the offer of q brothers hand he said:

lowing good joke, which occurred at the lat'
reunion of the Ohio, Kentucky and TENNESSEE
Legislatures:
ssThe story goes that when Lieutenant. Cover
nor Newman, of Tennessee, was here with the
Kentucky and Tennessee Legislatures, he was
accompanied by his body servant q sprightly
sable colored 'boy,' of about thirty, who was con
scious of his dignity. His master, who was il
the habit of jesting with him Familiarity, accostet
him in the hall of the Neil House, just before
the departure of the guests, with why, Jack

yet?' Yah. yah Massa Newman, '-quott

arm -in-arm with Gubner Dennison and Gubnel
Chase, tot you wor gone, sure-yah! yah !!
Governor Chase is responsible for the story.
The following, in relation to the same thing
conceived under the immediate inspiration of Q
drink composed of equal portions of Mononga
hela and Bourbon will pass muster, too:
The union of rye and the union of corn,
The union with lake, ice and river;
The union of sugar in one spacious horn
And their unfagging union forever
Gov HICKS of Maryland has written q
letter to the Governor Of this State, in which he
says that the Maryland Legislature construe the
South Carolina resolutions as proposal for &C.
cession from the Union by the Southern States
Gov G1sr in reply denies that South Caroline
proposes secession. She only asks that the South
ern States would meet in convention-insist on
their rights-act in concert to defend them with
out dissolution-show the North that the South
is determined, ard they would cease to agitats
slavery. The reading of Gov. G1sT's letter was
received with applause in the Maryland Legisla'
ture.

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH
THE FIRST GUN FROM NEBRASKA:
1000 Majority for Freedom:

OF the election held in Nebraska, on
Monday, March 5tb, for the election of DEL
eyates to the State Convention, the Repub-
licar says: We have met the enemies Of
Freedom, and "routed them-horse, foot
and dragoons," We have captured oil their
small arms, spiked their " big guns" and
driven the officials in terror from the field.
We have triumphed in nearly every settled
and organized county in the Territory
Their mojorities-if they have any-will be
found only where the foot Of the white man
seldom treads. The only localities they
can claim as their own, are Fort Kearney
and L'Eau qui Court. We doubt even if in
those localities they will dare attempt repe-
tion, of the glazing frauds that character
lied the election last Fall. They can make
nothing by fraud in this election, as it will
only change the result on Que Or two Dele
gates to the State Convention. Our victory
il complete it is overwhelming! Wehave
gaiusd everywhere, and in many counties
effected complete revolution. Let our
brethren Of the States follow the noble ex-
ample Of the squatters of this beautiful ter
ritory, who spurn the yoke Of the oppressor,
land the banner Of freedom will be borne in
triumph, on the eth of November, to the
Federal Capital, the Government rescued
from tho Vandal hands of Slavery pr pa
,gnndsts, the Union preserved, and the
Constitution become On instrument for the
promotion of civil and religious liberty,
instead Of an engine to 'crush out" the
rights Of the people. .....
Three cheers for Republican Nebraska !!

LINCOLN IN NEW YORK.

The New York Tribune says that the
speech Of Hon. ABRAx LINCOLN, at the Coop.
er Institute in New York city, on the evening
Of the 9th ult., was one Of the happiest and
most convincing political arguments ever
made in that city. and was addressed to a
crowded and most sppreciative audience.
Since the days of Clay and Webster, no
man has spoken to n larger assemblage Of
the intellect and culture Of our city. Mr..
Lincoln is one of natures orators, using his
rare powers solely and effectually to eluci-
date and to convince, though their inevita-
Bile effect 10 to delight and electrify a. we'll.
We present here full and accurate report
Of his speech; yet ths tones, the gestures,
the kindling eye and the mirth- okiug
look, defy the reporters skill. The vast
assemblsge frequently rang with cheers and
shouts Of applause, which were prolonged
and intensified at the close. No man ever
made such an impression on his first appeal
10 a New York audience.
Mr.. Lincoln speaks for the republican
cause to night, at Providence, r. l., and il
10 hoped that he will find time to speak once
Or more in Connecticut, before he sets his
face homeward.

Iuueu IoliOWers! 10 snow toe 0ntnluS OF
this debate, it is but necessary to state, that
two years ago, provision was engrafted
upon the prohibitory liquor Law, to the effect
that it should be lawful to sell beer, wine
and cider manufactured in this State. The
debate was had on proposition to strike
out this provision. 1t was solely party
move-conceived and brought forth by
CLAocErr, BENNETT L Co., for the purpose
Of manufacturing little political buncombc
for the next campaign. They wanted whiskey
to flow upon the same condition a. lager
beer, wine and cider, and with unca!led for
bravado and assurance, they dared the Re.
publicans to meet the issue, and re.tors the
prohibitory law, or repeal it altogether
Tho Republicans, with becoming sang froid,
picked up the glove thus taunsinsly .hroSu
down, and BY their votes decided that wine
beer and cider should b. subject to Tho sam,
restrictions - whisksy and "nch liks,'' and
the fuglemen Of the Democratic left dumb
founded. Much political capital may they
exc out of the result Of the vote. II th,
tenure Of Republicsnisn il in anywiss Dc

that may stand from under when the struc
tore falls, - surely Il must, now that their
is prospect Of beer gussling being dc
clared inconsistent with the prineiplss Of ,
