g THE PRESIDENT IN TEARs.-M. Buchanan
is evidently grievsd The Message which he
sent to Congress yesterday is one Of the most
iachrymose docum ents ever issued from tbs
White House. What it lacks in dignity, it
makes up in wounded pride. It is vehe-
mont appeal to public compassion, too hu-
initiating to inspire respect, and not sufficient
~ dignified to enlist any considerable degree
ofsympathy. It is in every respect pain
full document which will be read every
where with surprise, and which is much more
likely to excite contempt than any more am
liable or respectful sentiment
The House of Representatives, propose to
inquire into the manner in which Mr.. Bu-
chanan has discharged the Executive duties
of which during all his life, he has sought
the responsibility If he were neophyte in
politics, ignorant of political chicanery and
the arts Of intrigue and corruption, which
pave the way of ambitious and inspiring dem
agogues-if he had been suddenly snatched
by desparing country from the seclusion Of
private life, and thrust into public service as
the last hope ola decaying State-therc would
be room to believe his astonishment and his
protestations to be sincere. But, as he boasts
In this very Message, he has been in office all
his life. He has filed every grade of pnblic
trust He has climbed step by step tn, lad
der of promotion-hc has devoted all his life
to the task Of mounting to the goal to which
he has finally reached. There is nothing in
the shape Of intrigue, of political trickery,
which he has not tried, and by which he has
not profitted. His protestations Of unsuspi-
cious innocence will not carry conviction ;
nor will his plea of gray hairs excite compass
sion.
The special pleading by which Mr.. Buchan-
an seeks to evade the investigation which has
been set on foot, is neither spacious nor i'm
pressive If he is as free from fault as he
alleges an inquiry can do him no harm. II
not, it win do the country much good. Let
it, by oil means 60 on.-N. Y. Times.

The Revolutionary Committee Of Madison
County, Kentucky, who recently drove a
whole community Of citizens from their homes
and the State, had the case of Cassius M.
Clay under consideration on Tuesday week
last, and he only escaped prescription by a
small majority. Another meeting was ap-
pointed for Monday last, when it was report.
ed that his case would be again discussed.
These facts coming to the knowledge of Mr..
Clay, he immediately addressed circular to
the People of Madison County, briefly detail
ing the proposed action against him, setting
forth his political opinions, and the rights
upon which he should base his defence If
violence should be attempted against him.
He disclaimcd all connection with the aboli-
tionists Of Berea, and still claims to be whit
he always has been, a pcaccable, law-abiding
citizen Of Kentucky. Rsferring to the Repub-
licans of his State, he concludes his appeal as
follows:
You may drive these men into the noun
tains; you may burn their houses you may
hunt them down like beasts till the last one
falls by superior force; but their cause is tbs
cause of American Liberty, and the holiest
instincts of human nature. Their martyr
dom will light up fires of civil war, which will
pervadc the Union, and be extinguished only
by the downfall Of one or another Of the
great powers which shall have caused them
to deso1atc the land!
Men Of Madison, stand by those mcn-T
stand by the constitution and laws Of my
native State-I stand by the Republican par
ty eyerywhere-I stand by the liberties
which inherit from our fathers, and which
my own blood has from the beginning of the
Revolution of l776 to this hour, III every bat
tie field, have been present to defend.
stand, in word on my Frankfort speech Of
January 10, 1860, which desire to place be-
fore the world as the ground of my faith and
my action.
IshaN in mo ,oay ,chaterer recognize or sub-
mat to any Revolutionary Committe. At
my county's call have truly risked my life
in her defense. Two years in exile from my
home and family; nine months in foreign
prison ready at all times to sacrifice money,
health, and even life itself, | have brought
h4rk IN uns0l1ied name to the place of birth,
and which you were not the last to welcome
as part of the common glory Of the State.
You may be strong enough to overpower
me, but you cannot drive me from the duty
which owe to myself, to my friends, and
to my country. III fall, trust that shall
not fall in vain; and it will be enough for all
my long cherished ASPIRATIONS, if perchance
my blood shall atone for the wrongs Of my
race, and these States shall at last be free.
Whatever property the mobocrats of Ken
lucky may destroy, and whatever men, wo-
men, and children they may expel from the
State, they will take good care to give Cas-
sius NJ Clay wide ange. We would put
him against the Revolution Committees of
half dozen counties. Dubuque Times.

Great Victory!

v
The pro-slavery papers are exulting over
TIE late election in Rhode Island, claiming it
8 course as great Democratic victory.
The fact-is WV. SpRAouE, the hybrid gov
ernor elect, was the candidate on four differ
ent tickets. The Young Mems American
Republican" Conservative Republican"
" Conservative Union" and democratic
Convention"
Says the New York Tribune: with SO
many parties combined against part Of one.
there was hardly chance for different re-
suit"
SpRAGuE is claimed by the South Amcri-
cans, Know Nothings and Democrats but
be his political faith what it may, anything,
or everything, his success has cost him and
his immediate friends not less than 800, 900.
JOHN R. BARTLETT, for Secretary Of State,
is good Republican, and SAMUEL A PAR
xER is South American. WALTER s.
burgess, candidate for Attorney General, was
the only Democrat on the ticket
IfDemocracy can claim this as victory,
we are willing they should enjoy their short
lived triumph. What do our naturalized
citizens, who have always looked upon the
Democracy as infallible, and their especial
friends think Of affiliating with such mon
grel parties.
We take the following extract from a
special dispatch to the New York Times,
dated Providence, April 4th, 1860:

POLITICAL.


In our issue of Wednesday exposed the fraud
by which the speech of Mr.. Breckenridge, delivered
at Lexington, KY, on the 9th of June, 1856, was
being tortured into endorsement of the odious
and rotten doctrine ofsquatter sovereignty. Not
withstanding this, the adherents of Mr.. Douglas
pursue the course of Misrepresentation by contin-
uing to publish the mutated extract as if they
were Ignorant of the fact that the three lines of the
speech which they leave out entirely refutes the
construction they unfairly put upon it. For
charity's sake we will assume that they have not
seen our correction, and will repubish the extract
from the speech, the part italicised being what
they so coolly omit, to sustain the false position in
which they are endeavoring to place candidate
for the Presidency
Mr.. Breckenridge said:
"The whole power of the Democratic organiza-
ton is pledged to the following propositions: that
Congress shall not intervene upon this subject in
the States, in the Territories, in the District of
Columbia; that the people of each Territory shall
determine the question for themselves, and be ad-
miHed into the Union upon a footing Of perfect
equality cih the original States ,cithomt discrimi-
"etio" o" account Of the allowance or prohibition
Of slorery."
The public will notice how essential to the
proper understanding of the entire extract is the
part italicised, which the oppositionists omit
