Congratulatory Visit to the Presifleht El;Tt hy the Studeutd ttf,Frivillin, altd -Marshall • On Friday last the students of Franklin and Marshall College, numbering. over one hun dred, accompanied 'by the President and Fac ulty, and the Fencibles Brass Band, paid their respects to Mr. BccuANAN at Wheatland.' The occasion was one of no ordinary interest; but we believe it is the first time in the history of our country that the President of the B sari of any College was visited by its students to congratulate him on his election to the high e,st office within the gift of a free people. To Franklin and Marshall College was reserved the honored distinction of being the first to have the President Of its Board of Trustees', selected as the President of thell - Wtiblic ; and we trust it will not be the last mark of high 'distinction which the people will confer upon that noble institution, of Which the : citizens of our county and State may well- be proud. This visit was suggested nud arranged among the students themselves, who, with common consent laid aside all party preferen ces and' prejudices, and united in the move ment by a unanimous vote. The approbation of the President and : Faculty of the College was sought and obtained only after the visit had been agreed upon. And there was a pe culiar propriety in it. Mr, Buchanan has been the President of the Board of Trustees of the Cone:ye since their first organization in January, 1853, and has always felt a deep in terest in its prosperity and taken on active part in its affairs;while at home, besides head ing the list of donations subscribed for the erection of the new edifice with a very liberal .contribution - . It was therefbre very natural anti proper that -the students shOuld feel a de sire to tender their congratulations to the President of their Board on his elevation to the Presidency of the great American Re- : public. The Faculty and students marched in pro cession from the College at three o'clock, pre ceded by the band. On arriving at Wheat land they were invited into th-e general recep tion room. Mr. Buchanan cordially received them, one after another, as they entered. They were then f Irmally introduced by Rev. E. V. Gearhart, President of the College, who briefly stated the object of the visit. For the Complier REMARKS OF MR.. DUNCAN. ! Mr. 'William A. Duncan, of Cashtown, ants county, Pa., delivered the! congratulatory address. • Me said he appeared hefore his EX"- I ; lAleney, the President elct of• the United. - States, to give expression, in behalf of his fel low students there assemi led, to their !senti ments, in view of the peculiar relation which !they, sustainsd to him as I),A-shier& of the 11-ard of Trustees of their helot ed Alma Mute , . . !They cone nut as.

Mr. TAichanan said, in reply, that II? felt / g re a tly indebted to his young friends for their visit. He had the assurance that, at least, their congratulations were sincere, as they sprung from the• warm hearts of youth, which had nut vet had time 'Eft ißkt(lle. corrupt :1:1(1 hardened in the•ways of the.world. The bo som of youth was the abode of sineerity truth. and it was indeed a pleasure ;111d an honor to receive the warm out-pouri ugs of their hearts. lie said he had always felt a great solicitude for the interests of Franklin and Marshall College; it was a noble institu tion and he was proud to be the President/ of its Board of Dhectors. Ile was extremely gratified to learn it bad fair prospects, nut on ly of a large number of students, but of great usefulness. It was gratifying to see so large a number of worthy young men already eor rolled on its lists of students. He referred to their responsibility, reminding them that when the present generation had passed away, and been gathered to their fathers, on them, the young men of to-dav,_would_rest,the_ re sponsibility of forming and administering the future government of the country and of pre serving intact our glorious Union and Con stitution. There was nut, he said, a young man among them, however humble his posi tion, who might not aspire with an honorable ambition to fill the highest niliee wiihin the gift of the people: but in order to attain to positions of honor an I usefulness and ink , - don, they must remember that everything de pends upon themselves.
