sB- The New York World says of Mr. Bu-
chanan's late elaborate defence that lit leaves
unimpeached the broad fact that Gen. SCOTT,
as early as October, 1860, urged on the Presi-
dent the necessity of putting strong garrisons
On the southern forts, and that his patriotic
solicitations were unavailing." The only evil
dence we have yet seen in the columns of the
World, that it has not entirely back-slidden
from its indefinite religious proclivities, is the
fact that it still refuses to endorse, exculpate
or even excuse Buchanans shameful imbecility,
and weakness before defiant treason.

GOOD SPRING BED has become an almost indis-
pensabe article not only of comfort and necessity
with every family, while the united testimony Of
Physicians has placed their healthfulness beyond
question.
No invalid should be without one.
As an evidence of che superiority of
COREY'S "PREBLE" SPRING BED
over all others, is the fact that the demand for this
Spring Bed is quadruple that of any other kind.
