It Will be observed that Buchan1n's star
was in the ascendant In '56. See how Berks
piled, it up and hoT lancaster ran down.
But IN go the tide set the other way. Berks
was disguised with Douglas while lancaster
was delighted With Lincoln.
There arc two other counties In Pennsyl-
vania adjoining each other on opposite sides
ofthe susquehanna, which bid faG to be-
come as evenly balanced on opposite sides Of

EMIGRATION TO MEXICO.

Naximilltan'a new scheme for securing IN
emigration into Mexico, Is tolcrably progress
I've Tor scion Of the House Of Hapsburgh,
but the Emperor docs not seem to hare been
aware Of our homestead act. He issnes dc
cree for conhecating lands on the line Of the
railroad IRON Vera Cruz to The City Of Mexico
the present owners to he paid such compen
sation As rmpires may agree npon- The lands
thos conflscated he offers for sale to colonists
and immigrants at the remarkably low price
OF one dollar per acre, payable in one or five
years, upon the sole condition that they agree
to 10 guard duty for the colony. As the de-
cree does not state where they are to do guard
duty, the condition amounts to m agreement
to fight for the Emperor. 50 slaximillian, In
his great hbern1ity, announces to the able
bodied residents OF surrounding nations that
IL they will come and fight to keep him On
his throne, he will sell them wild Mexican
lands ut doI1ar an acre! And this when tho
United States, by their homestead law, offers
every man farm gratis and no fighting.

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YoKK.

The smart dash with which the Haskin
party started the campaign 10 New York has
gradually eubsided into smart run 10 the
rear, which the explosion Of the great Vicks-
burg shell taking of the head Of their leader,
Gen. socun, viii rapidly convert into atotd
rout, Very yislGly for few weeks past. and
especially since the New York Coppcrhcads
learned the news from Pennsylvania, New
jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, their conrn.e
las been oozing ont at their finger ends
Added 10 this they now have, just when theT
would rather not, the full c1post Of tho true
reasons which converted slocum from Re-
publican into Democrat. The great V1cks~
burg four hundred thousand dollar cotton
swindlc YVES feature In Gen. 6locum's mill
thry career OF which, in the innocence of their
hearts, they were wholly unaware when they
nominated him. It Is now apparent that this
aHair had excited the attention Of bis brother
officers and of the War Department, that m
impartial Military Commission had 1nvcsti-
gated the facts last February, md bad In the
plaioese terms convicted Gen. slocuun Of cor
r,p,ion. At an earlier period Of the war this
would hare led to more emphatic and forh him
disastrous consequences; but as the
wnr was 50 ncaTay ended, md slocum
had done and WAS still doing satisfactory ser
vice in the neld. the War Department appears
10 have let the matter drop as softly Us posi-
bic. But Gen. Slocum knew that the evidence
wns on the records Of the War Department
Tel he demanded no investigation Of charges
so injurious. Why WIS he silent? He also
knew that If anything was done aEainst him
as Republican, upon The facts found by the
military commission, he would have no plcA j;
whereas, II he became " Democrat" the
whole affair would be pooh.poohed as politi-
cal contrivancc. Hence Lis onslaught on the
War Department in his first speech after re.
turning to New York Hence his sudden con
version from Repnblicaaism to bitter Copper.
lcadism, Hence his transition from bellc'
that the Mississippi militia ought TO be sup.
pressed, to belief that the Federal troop
ought 10 be removed from the state-which,
like lis change from 4 denial to a concession
Of tbe koland-Grant claim,- was brought
about in q very few days. Hence his change
from the sentiments expressed In the follow
