Mr.. MOrris-It had been said by South
cru men that President Buchanan is the
last OF the Constitutional Presidents !;
they might with more truth have said
that he is the first of the Constitutional ty-
rants. The President has virtually sur
rendered the Government to the secession
lists, who gained his eur. He Travelled
with them to the verge of dissolution, but
refusing to take the final leap, they turned
their keen blades against him, and he now
cries for help, which he breaches like n
patriot, but acts like a traitor.
