BUCHANAN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
The movement to make ex-Presidsnt Buchanan
the next United States Senator from Pennsyl
vania is most ridiculous and imprudent. The
imbecility of Buchanan involved US in this
war. Had he but posses as much courage
in his whole body as General jackson had in
one hair OF his head, he would have taken the
advice of General Scott, and served the South
Carolina secessionists as Jackson served the
muliiers, and We should have had no farther
trouble. Buchanan is unfit for any Office of
responsibility and trust, and especially for so
honorable an Office that OF a Senator of the
United States We would sooner see old
Simon Cameron occupy this position; for
Cameron, unlike the imbeeile and treaoherous
buchanan, has some pluck, some capacity,
some frankness, and some fidelity to his
friends.-Ne,p York Herald.

THEIR HoPEs.-When the rebels began this
war they boasted largely of what they would
do. They would subdue the n orth, seize the
capital. be recognized by all nations, and then
all would be over. Now hear the subdued
tone of the Richmond Examiner of a late date :
GAS time wears on have reason TO hope
and believe that the arguments for peace will
become more and mure cogent and compulsory
with the North. We have reason to believe
that Europe will be obliged, not merely by
the dictates Of enlarged philanthropy, but hy
the more potential commands of interest and
duty, TO interfere for The suppression Of the
American war;"
The rebels are pretty nearly done when they
begin to talk in that way. They are looking
anxiously to their sympathisers in the North,
and their friends among the aristocrats of Eu-
rope for help. But neither OF these parties
to whom they looking for help and inter
ference can relieve them. They will be obli-
ged to yield.
