1t is formally announced that James
Buchanan's book of experiences, etc., will
soon be published by the Apple,on's, in
fine style" We hope its exterior will be
as attractive as possible. It is to be 500
PIP. duodecimo. A critic correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press-once the great
est newspaper champion Buck had-re-
marks: Buchanan had q hope Of being
the last President of the United States.
He has not been grasi6ed; and he will
live long enough to find himself mistaken
in many other things" During the war,
since the first months of Lincoln's INSTALL
ment we have heard Of a forthcoming
work Of vindication, from the Old Public
Functionary. Undoubtedly this will be
a strained effort to prove himself not a
traitor to his country. II is no prejudg-
ment Of a case, TO say that the attempt
must be a miserable failure if amount
ing to any notable effect, then exalting
him in couspicuousness Of treason. We
have all Of US read a sufficient number Of
incon,rovertibly proved documents from
Bucks hand, showing his completely with
traitors that all the water of the ocean
could not wash out the perfdy stains on
his hoary head. Let US give a few read
ings from his last annual message to Con-
gress, and see for ourselves what kind Of
audacity this man must have, in expecting
TO flesh over the brand Of traitor that has
been burned into his carcass. Read:
II may be safely asserted that power to
make war against a State tJeff.'s talk, ex-
actly-his way OF putting the case, is at
variance with the whole spirit and intent Of
the Constitution.
What is this but the gist and point of
copperhead talk for the last four years.
Besides, in the iraternal conflict a vast
amount Of blood and treasure would be ex-
pended, rendering future reconciliation be-
t,ceen he STATES impossible. II the Union
can not live in the affections Of the people, it
must one day perish. Congress possesses
many means Of preserving it By Cancellation !;
but the sword was not placed in their hand
to preserve it BY force.
And Buck then goes on to recommend
reconciliation by constitutional amend
ments practically extending the right to
hold slaves throughout the United States
Territories. All his cancellation talk
was VIGOROUSLY shot at the friends Of
freedom, the conscientious opposers to the
widening Of the domain Of slavery. The
chief traitors Of our great war were then
bed. chamber intimates with Buck; he
then had no social intercourse with a
single Senator or Representative who was
not out and out %slaveocrat. Subsequent
ly he had to beg aid Of Mr.. Seward for
diplomatic service, as JEFF. Davis s Co.
had left for their new government.
We have not forgotten his late letters TO
JEFF. Davis himself; and let him wipe out
the solitary sufficient of fact-that Davis
breakfasted with him in Washington the
morning jeff. left for his "Confederacy."
It will probably be interesting to note the
letters, speeches, messages. ETC., which
Buck will refrain from commenting upon,
or ignore from his volume altogether. It
is said that he expects that the volume
will exonerate him from all blame Of trea-
son, and constitute for his innocent self
"a very conclusive affair" The icon
clusion" in bis case has been reached long
ago by a forbearing, a most charitable
people.
