AMERICAN VOLUNTEER.
All must. admit that President Buchanan
has been peculiarly forlunrflc in the selection of
his Cabinet officers. They flro uncxccption
able, and will give general, if not indeed, uni*

: a household word in every nook and corner of
' the Union. Among the American names which
Fame has inscribed upon her scroll, there are
1 few which occupy a higher position than
his. His history and services are known to
1 cvcrv citizen. After spending a longer period
of live in the service of his country than al
most any man now or heretofore upon the Stage
of he can proudly point to a clear and
unspotted record, and to a wonderfully faithful

congratulate themselves that they bare secured

THE CABINET OF PRESIDENT BUCHANAN,
Al! its members have been noted for the jrt| ity
of their lives, the soundness of their principles,
the integrity of their characters, and their in
trinsic abilities. The anticipations which had
been formed from Mr. Buohakah's superior
judgment, have been fully realized,, and the
new administration commences its career under
the most auspicitni* circumstances.
m FLAB IS THERE!
Wc to day place at our mast-head the names
of the gentlemen composing the Democralii
Slate ticket. Most heartily can we support
this ticket. Duller candid tiles were ctrlninl)
never presented to llie support of any parly,
whether we regard their personal character, m
tellectual ability, or experience in Hie P" rs ' ,Ml "
calculated to lit them for Hit positions to winch
they have been respectively named.
The Rending Gazelle, in speaking ol Oen.
Packer, our candidate for Governor, says he
has occupied a prominent position in pu '«
life for many years, and is, probably, ns nr
known throughout the ComraonwraUh. nsany

General. Canal Commissioner. Speaker of Hie
House of Representatives, and Sinte Sena or, he I
l has shown cspshil.lies of Hie order fo
duties of a public nature, and has acquired
knowledge of Slate affairs. and
I their administration, which admirably fit nm
for Hie Chief Exrculirc office. In Ins inter

and instinctively wins upon the hearts of all
who make Ins acqiininlnnce. «hilc in the

Of Judge I-KWis. the present Thief Justice
of the Supreme Court. wc need say Mile F‘» r
twenty Tour years lie has occupied a distinguish
rd position upon the Bench, and Ins ik-dsions
stand upon the hooks as enduring monuments
of Ins learning and ripe culture ns a lawyer.—
Although our pnfnence was decidedly in favor
of the Hon Sarn'l Hepburn, who had been pre
sented liv the nniud voice of the Democracy of
tlits county, ns a candidate in every way
wonhy to adorn the Supreme Bench of our
State, yet we submit willingly to the decision
of the Convention, since its choice has fallen
upon Judge Lewis.
Judge Strickland, of Chester county, who
has received the nomination for Canal Commis
sioner, is a gentleman of the most exalted per
sonal character, and a Democrat whoso attach-
nts to the party arc founded in a settled con
\ iclmn of the tiulh and justice of its principles
No man lias labored more faithfully or zealous
ly for the advancement of those principles, and
none has more richly merited the reward of po
litical seruces. That Judge Strickland was
not long ago. advanced to high public posi-
tions, is owing entirely to the innate modesty
which governs all his acts, and induces him
rather to he a patient laborer in the Democratic
party, than an ambitious aspirant for its hon
and rewards. As an evidence of the great
esteem in which the people of Chester county,
of parlies, hold him, we may rpciition
ho was last year elected an Associate Judge ol
that county, by a handsome majority, although
ic lUtnocralic State ticket was in a minority
,r sen ml liumlmi. 11 j.s ijnalifloations Tor the

Willi such a ticket in the held, the Demo

before the people strong in the conlidcncc of i
successful issue of the campaign so auspicious
ly opened.
Fnmull Bmptliin al Hie White House,
Wh.le all pall lolic citizens, in every section
of the country, bear testimony to the dignity.
Hie liruuu-ss, and the patriotism which have
niiuked the ollicml career of President Pierce,
his high moral north and social excellencies
have insured foi Imu the lasting respect of the
citizens of this metropolis. It was not to be

of ladies and gentlemen \isiled the White

I desire to express, for Mrs. Pierce and my
self, the assurance of our regret at parting with
friends who have established claims for our
grateful remembrance, which we shall newer
cense to remember. .
M the conclusion of-those remarks the au
thorities and citizens, individually, shook hands |
with the President, many lingering to express 1 1
their gratitude for his courtesies and kindness (
since he has occupied the presidential chair. (
Several large deputations of clerks from the
Treasury and other departments were then in i
turn presented to ’pay*their adieus, and there
was no diminution of the influx of visitors, un
til the President was forced to retire, '.hat he
ight attend to the pressing official business.
- 11 has well been remarked that no retiring
President ever elicited more regret from the
community of Washington ; no one of his pre
decessors has been easier of access, more kind
in courtesy, more attentive to the bereaved and
suffering among ua, more devoted to all the in
terests of the city. Official position is no lon
gtr required to commend him to the esteem and
respect of the people of Washington, and their
beat wishes for his health and happiness, with
that of his csiimablelidy. will ever attend him.

Then came the Central American'question,

Spanish difficulties, and in fact every question
which brought us into coUision~wilh the pow

principles favorable to the Democratic progress,
or in vindication of our sovereign rights, had
been honorably and, peacefully settled, and'lim
American policy established which hereafter
must be regarded and respected by the nations'
of the world in their international conduct.—
All these things speak highly of the firmness
of the Executive, the wisdom of his counsel-‘

sight. discrimination and adherence to sound

saved the country from the evils of a civil war;

A School Master Cowhided by a Woman.
Wo take the following from the Qrccnsburg
Democrat, of the 17ll» inst:
Whatever the women, generally speaking,
undertake to do they do right well, and the case
winch we now relate is no exception to the gen*
ernl rule. The facts of this cose, as they have
been communicated t J us, seem to bo about as
follows:
It appears that on Monday evening of last
week throe of the scholars of a school at New
Stanton, in this county, taught by a man named
William Martin, while on their way home, had
some dlfllcully with another named Kcpplo, and
gave him a pretty severe thrashing, besides tear
ing and soiling his clothes. Upon going home,
he complained to his mother, who in turn com
plained to the teacher, who promised to correct
the boys. He procured a cliib—it could not bo
called a rod. for it was near the thickness of »
man’s thumb, and had a largo knot upon ono
end. and proceeded loadmlnistcra brutish beat
ing to three of the boys, including young Kcp
pic. While healing young Kepplc—who is ft
ftoor, weak, puny child, and who cried piteous
y for mercy —he declared that ho would beat
h‘m until ho would hush, and did best away
| un.il the poor child unable any longer to stand
up under the shower of blows which fell upon
' him, sank to the floor, where he continued to
belabor him with inhuman zeal, declaring that
“if'hc couldn’t stand up to it, he must take it
lying down.”
After the dismissal ot school, and (he return
home of young Kepple, he showed Ids' bruised
and bleeding back to his mother, and she inline
diatcly posted oft *o a Justice of the Peace to
have the teacher arrested. Justice was refused
her In that quarter, and she was lold to apply
to the School Directors. Finding that theonly
resource left was to lake the law in her own
hands, she went to New Stanton on Wednesday
morning, and having procured the loan of a
large and well sprung cowhide, wailed until
the school was dismissed for dinner, and then
placid herself at a corner of a street by which
the teacher must pass, tic cipno down the
street, unconscious of :ho dangers that did lie
before him, and suddenly turning the comer,
stood facg to face with Mrs. Kepple, who im
mediately "began to lay on in the most approved
style.'and with a heartiness which proved that
she was in t arncst. He cried loudly to his schol
ars for help, but ns he had denied mercy to
young Kcp'do, so mercy was denied him—ono
| of the scholars joyfully suggesting, in borrow
ed wnh. tl at **ifhe couldn’t stand up toil he
had b tier he down.*’ At Inst, however, some
' ol the citi/.ens Interfered, and the teacher
