But :j, we charge farther upoa the adiuu.- i>tr diofi of Mr. Buchanan, one of the main causes by which we have reached the point of national insolvency; a reckless prodigality IU 100 expend it urea of the public money, and a pitvaiiing vice in the department* of the gov ernment. It is a gross mistake to suppose that our increased expenses ate owing to au expan sion of territorv and iLe removal of our IVou- ! iier. The aiujinistraliou of Mr. Van ilimii, i with an annual outlay of thirty-seven imtlious of dollars was pronounced extravagant; now j our expenses are close upon one hundred uitl . lions a year. But we have got used to talking |of millions without stopping to consider t!i - magnitude of the figures. Why, sir, all the j horses and mules iu the country, numbering | over six tbotuand, would scarcely draw, in sil ver, the money required to foot our government i bills for a single year. l)o you enquire why I this is so? 1 will tell you. We have sbau doned our former and better practices. Wbeu i Mr. Jefferson was President, he required hjti ■ esly aud capability iu his appointees; u w sub ; ordma'es arc selected for their known lack of independence, conscience, and will. There j was a. time, which our fathers remember, when to be the head of a depaituient, a Secretary ol the Treasury, or of War, er of the Navy, re ' quired greaine-s and inspired confidence; now a man of very moderate dimensions will suffice for either place.

A few material inquiries any possibly pre sent themselves, when we come to consider the propriety of the purchase of the vain aud much praised ' Queen of the Antilles,'' and of bung ing bur iuvo our loving and lecherous embrace.

Aud bow can we better secure ourselves against those who, in league with the President, have sought tu humiliate us, by adding to their power and extension, and by giving them the control of the Gulf of Mexico as they may have it over tbo Mississippi? 1 think I can school myself to love my enemies; but not better tbaQ myself.

But just as they cams opposite to the spot where we wero standing, the horse of oue of .hem stumbled, and at the same instaDf, a wo unu's voice catue, loud and shrill, screaming in Spanish for help. "Bedadl the girl has got her head out of the blanket!" exclaimed the man whose borse had stumbled, speaking in undoubted Milesian ac oeut. lie seemed to struggle to replace it, while all the party stopped: but the girl screamed all the louder, aud struggled violently. I'm not a lady's man, in the recent West Point acceptation of the word, but I could nev er stand still while a woraau screamed for help. To open the sliding door of my belt-lantern, aud throw full light on the manor, was but an tustant's work. -My poaeno was c-ast aside quickly; and as 1 cried to my rnau to do bis duty my revolver dropped oue greaser from his sad dle, who reined au escopette to targetize on me; and 'he next instant 1 was tearing (he girl from the arms of the ruffian, who had all he could do to hold her.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE SAND WICH ISLANDS. Honolulu papers to the 18th of February briug intelligence of another eruption of Maoua Lou, and the destruction of a village on the sea shore, some forty miles distant, by faeiDg overrun with (he burning lava. Wc crpy soma of the details: Correspondence of Iks Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. WAIMEA, HAWAJ, Feb. 4.—Had I the abil ity I should iiko to give a description of the present volcanic eruption; but I am fearfnl of a failure should -be-attempt he made. When one has seen toe real thing itself rfaere is no room for the play of imagination or poetry. — Vou IHIV exhaust language of its most impres sive and descriptive terms, and yet fail to reach the reality* I shili afeuspt ro more than to give a few fsets. On Sabbath, January 28 1, volcanic smoke was seen gathering on Mauna Lea. In the even'.ng the mountain presented a grand yet fearful spectacle. Two streams of fire were issuing from two different sources, and flowing apparently in two different direotmus. The whole rsgiou, earth and heaven, were lighted up, and even the interior of our houses re ceived the lurid volcanic light direct from its source. discern where fire eruptions were. One ap peared to be very near the top of ths nioun taia, but its stream and smoke soou after dis appeared, tho otiscr was on tire Dorto side, fur ther below the tup, and was saudiog out its fires in a northwesterly direction. Ou the second and third nights the dense smoke and ch mis prevented us from having * fair view of Pole's doings; hut the f; ur follow ing nights we had a view, and such a scene.'— It seemed as though the tyo could never weary in gazing at it. The L iming crater seemed to bo constantly enlarging and throwing up its volumes of liquid fire above the mouth of the crater—l will not venture to say how htgh— and the fiery stream rolled onward and on ward, still adding terror and grandeur as it proceed ed, till the morning of the 31st, about sunrise, the stream was compelled, though reluctantly, to stop by meeting the waters of the ocean.— Even theu its reristless and opposing energy carried it on some distance into the sea. The poor inhabitants of Wainanalii, the village where the fire reached the occau, weie aroused at tho midnight hour by the hissing and roaring of the approaching fires, and had but just time to save themselves. Some of the houses of the inland portion of the village were partly surrounded before bo inmates knew of their danger. Wainanaiii is near the northern boundary of North Kona, and about twelve or fourteen miles from Kawaihee. It is of course all destroyed, and its pleasant little harbor all filled with lava. The volcanic stream was one mile wide or more, in somo places, and mush less iu others. It crossed the Kona road, and interrupted the mail com munication The whole distance of the flow from the crater to the sea is some forty mile*. Last night (the 3d February)the volcano was in full blast, and the burning stream sceme to have taken another direction. Parties have gone out to day to sea and explore. Perhaps on their return I shall have something addi tional to communicate. Yours, L. LYONS. HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.—The Wasting ton States, iu referring to the resoluti -s of the Democratic State Convention, which iatoiy assembled at Harrisburg, in favor ot the in crease of the tariff, gives the Pennsylvania Democracy to understand that if they insist upon the doctrines there put forth upon this subject, they must expect to incur the opposi tion of the party in other parts of tbe country. Our Pennsylvania Democrats who have alrea dy gone so far in slavish subserviency to their Southern masters, are cooiy told that their tariff notions must bo laid aside—that no such heresy will be tolerated. What a glorious thing thing it is to belong to a national patty ! Verily Democracy is the same, whether in Pennsylvania or South Carolina. Washington Reporter.
