The unkindeat cut Of all to James
Buchanan, who served the southern
traitors with a servility unsurpassedin
the history OF the country, Is given In a
late letter of Hon. Kenneth Raynor to
DR.. VIM. Elder, of Washington. Ray
norputs his deliberate opinion on record
thus:
"I must say that I reaarti James Bu.
chanan as more responsible for the dis
Asterr and horrors Of the last four wears
than any man In the nation. The peo-
PIE Of the south had very kindly feel
tngs for him. In fact, he was more
popularwith the ultra men of the South.
on account OF his connivnnce ht the
Kansas outrnges, his dogma about hnY-
ing nopowef 20 cOerco a state, etc. than
ne was with the Union men. A remon-
STRANGE from him, "A warning. a tlecla-
ration that he HlHsf maintain the author-
ity OF the Government and see that the
laws were executed-this, coming from
a friend, would have Induced the seces-
siontsts to pause and consider, at least :;
y would have given confidence to the
Union element of the South. 1t would.
IN my opinion, have aveTted the conflict
But he stood still and did nothing"
The Mobile Tribune reports that a
new paper TO be edited by eoIored men,
in the interests of the coIored people. Is
to be established in that city. The coll
Ored men in the south are taking the
right road to the suffrage. In making
themselves worthy of by Intelligence
and the means towards 1t, they are nctu-
ally sharning the white rebels of Dixie.
Pierre Soule, It is announced. is about
TO return to New Orleans, there to n4ss,
the remainder OF his days. In 1851
F1erTe Soule had an opportunity to
make future for htmself and for 1 .oufs-
lana. Possessing u rare genius as a
popular leader, speaking die FpsncII
language as his mother tongue, it was
IN his power to direct the Creole popu-
lhtion, and to be Obeyed as the tyrnnd
army obeyed Napoleon. He led them
10 rebellion, well knowing what its com
Sequenees would be, for in words that
DutLled ne mad predicted them, and now
he returns to his old hOme-IfJa hoHV..
btgss-a ruined, "used up" old man.
-Copperhead papers speak of tue late
election rtdrnslas HQuite fragmentary
and meaGer." The effects on the party
certainly threaten to make it, not only
fragmentary but meager. In this view
Of the returns, the remark is quite APP
PlIcable.
The reaction predicted by hopeful
Democrats, which was to restore them
to the son seats they oecupIed ..in the
past, - don't seem to come quite as h,st
as they hoped, as the following figures

New York will swell the column In
November, and benighted New Jersey
VIII take her stand on the right side.
while Massachusetts,, Minnesota and
Wisconsin Will swell the list. The De-
moeracy "as it is'' may as well post
Pone the reaction indefinitely.

South Carolina, who fought in the reb-
el army, Is now candidate for Com
