Upon the election of his successor, Mr..
Lincoln, in 1861, Mr. Buchanan retired
to his farm at Wheatland, near Lancas-
ter, Pennsylvania, where he resided up
t. the period of his death, occupying his
time in writing an autobiography of his
public life, i'll whcih his policy upon
many trying public events was thorough
ly vindicated. Lately he has been gra-
dually falling in health, and now has
just reached the close of life, with the in
ward assurance that his heart ever threb-
bed solely with the purest patriotism,
and an unswerviDg determination to do
whatever duties devolved upon him
faithfully and well. Time will vindicate
his character thoroughly from any faint
aspersions that may yet linger around it..
His messages and speeches have become
part OF the history of our country, and
all Americans cannot but feel justly
proud of one who deserves to be ranked
with the sterling patriots who have pre-
ceded him to death and Immortality.
Mr.. Buchanan was never married, his
nearest surviving relative being hisneice,
Mrs. johnson, of Baltimore, formerly
Miss HARRIET Lane. who administered
the affairs of the White House during
his occupance.
Although deep thinker and laborious
student, Mr.. Buchanan was never noted
for much originality. singularly calm
both in judment and temper, he possess
ed in an eminent degree that doggedness
of will and determination which invaria-
bly, commands success. He was, how
ever, very clear reasoner, and was re-
markable for that sarotr .faare which
smoothes over so many ruts encountered
in public life. The last representative
of IA race of statesmen dating back to the
last century, the mark of whose genius
is indelibly stamped upon every stone
tnat builds the fabric of our government,
his loss will be universally lamented.
