THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

JAMES BucHAHAN has written letter to
"vindicate the truth of history" 1t was stat
ed in the New York Eceniay Post that Mr..
BUCHANAN was nominated at Cincinnati in
1856, after strong contest over the other
candidates, by some secret agreement previ-
ously make by his friends which pledged him
to extreme State Rights principles, which
even went SO far as to countenauce the doc
trine of Secession. After the nomination was
made the Post says that Judge BLACK, of
Pennsylvania, arose and made q strong pro-
slavery speech, dcnouncing "AboIitonism"
and BLACK Rcpublicanism," and arguing
that the States possessed, under the Constitu-
ton, the right of Secession. He went further
and told the Convention that ifthcnomince was
elected, aud a Black Republican should be
elected, as his successor, he (Nlr. BuCHANAs)
would do nothing to interfere with the exercise
of it. This pledge was ample, and was ac,
cepted by the Southern leaders.
Now it is said by Mr.. BUCHANAN that Judge
JEREMIAH y. DLACk was DOI Il iHclnDcr U
that Convention. The speech referred to was
made by Colonel SAMUEL a. BLACK, and it il
avcrrcd that nothing in what he said "affords
the least color for any such mistake" uac
be or any other person dared to make such
pledge, Mr.. BucHsNAN says he would have
condemned it in his letter accepting the nomi
nation. This is all very we'll; but as Mr.
BucIiANAN, in his message of 1850 declared
that he was powcrless to prevent secession anc
that he had no right to coorce a State thereby
yielding every theory that the traitors deman
ded, and confessing that, in his opinion, thu
United States Constitution was 4 rope Of sand
it can make but little odds whether Colone
BLACK pledged Mr.. BrcHANAy to Secession
or not All that Mr.. BucnANAE says tha
BrAcK did not DO, he, Mr.. BucnANAN, after
wards did do. The truth Of history" can
not be ''vindcatcd' by denial of that fact
Mr.. BucANAN's declaration, therefore, seem
supcrerogatory.

SPEECH OF A CONVERTED REBEL.

At meeting of Southern men in Memphis,
recently, Colonel Grace, Of Arkansas, spoke
as follows: r. -
Fellow CITIZENS l am the man who drew
up the ordinance of Secession in the Legisla-
ture of Arkansas I have been in the field
fighting against the Union for nearly four
years, but now / am conquered and whipped
man. Laughter. As was gallant in 60
ing out to fght, l now propose to be gallant
at surrendcrng and submitting to the arms Of
the Government that We cannot whip
Laughter have no contempt for Federal
authority now, if ever had. do not think
there is a manly bosom in the South but that
has higher respect for Northern CALAMITY than
when we went into the fight :. There may be
some men in the North who may think that
the South had hand in the death of our la
mcnted President, but know that the people
of the South mourn over his death. and feel
that they have lost a friend The North have
maintained this conflict nobly, and the South
have nothing to be ashamed of. am proud
of the South-there is something in the very
atmosphere that makes men great So, say
that the South is no an Insignificant people:
and if so great people as they are cannot whip
the world, who cannot come to the inevitable
conclusion that the North is greater Laugh
ter. And l am not going to stultify myself
by saying have been whipped by somebody.
Now it is our duty to respect and 60 back to
this great national church repent, get absolu-
tion, and be baptised afresh. Laughter
know we will receive honorable and just terms.
! When l had an interview with the President,
his heart seemed to be ever overfowing with
love toward the Southern people. We first
went out of the Union and threw down tho
gage of battle, and the North picked it up; we
fred the first gun and took the first fort-Fort
Sumter-which was taken back a few days ago.
Laughter. The North seemed to be unwil-
ling to fight; they did not think we would
fight, and so we thought of them, but,to our
sorrow we have found out different; they
seemed to spring up like mushrooms from all
parts of the earth. Before this war ] never
saw Federal officer hardly. ! never felt the
slightest oppression of the Federal tioyer-a'eut
in fact never thought we had one u.I.. l

The LAUGH OF WOMAN A woman has no
natural gift more bcwitching than q sweet
laugh 1t is like the sound of flutes on tho
water 1t leads from her in clear sparkling
rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if ba-
thed in the cool, exhilarating spring. Have
you every pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees led on by fairy laugh-now here, now
there, now lost, now found2 We have, and
We are pursuing that wandering voice to this
day Sometimes it comes to us in the midst
Of care or sorrow or irksome business; and
then we turn away and listen, and hear it rim
ging th, h,ough the room like a silver bell. with
power to secure away the evil spirits of the
mind. How much We owe to that sweet laugh.
1t turns the prose to poetry: it fiings showers
of sunshine over the darkness of the wood III
which we are travelling, it touches with light
even our sleep, which is no more the image of
death. but is consumed with dreams that are
the shadows of Immortality.
