jg GAZETTE. ( J^y^EXPOSITION. publication of Forney's Tarrytown \ having called down upon him the 0 f sundry government officials, he Jc a long reply, in which sundry pictures are drawn. We have room ilf the following: • lin J. Shoulder Photograph of the Washington Union. Union goes on to say, speaking of the fl f the Cabinet meeting : t * itor y he tells of the Cabinet meeting , t 'he account of his own conversation, !< fabulous. We venture to assert that vValker ne ver authorized any one to say , j nsu lte<i the President and Cabinet by n ,r a suspicion that they would behave [t is s somewhat unfortunate denial, ap m it does, in the Washington Union, *1 as the report of that conversation be- JJOIIERT J- WAI.KEB and the Cabinet, was 'imirated bp one of the editors of the laiton Union, on more than one occasion, <jj'fft was no confidence imposed, and at 'MC that editor was the known public and t whveirp of the Kansas policy of the .„ s /mlion. The name of that editor is Simeon M. Johnson. I believe that he <attached to the Washington Union.— .Jenies the statement here made, I shall spelled to make it good by furnishing ur names of respectable witnesses Irere present when he described this cel- Lj interview between Gov. Walker and Cabinet, and President Buchanan ; and t without calling upon Gov. Walker, or Presideut, or the Cabinet, I beg to rest part of my statement upon the distin sed authority of the editmr of the Wash to Union himself. \knqth Portrait of James G< rdon Bennett. iioag those who have volunteered tosup ifirreadv abuse ol the Tarry town speech, tice the editor of the New York Herald, jlamous James Gordon Bennett. Ad ing, as I do, a mixed audience, because, :iinie, this statement will be read by men Iparties, I am sure that I commit no of when I recall public attention to the serin which this man conducted his uews r luring the campaign of 1850. A long f shame, a life brightened by no single !uf virtue, a life of selfishness, of jeal of ostracism, was fittingly illustrated icolumns of his newspaper during that ■ ralde struggle. Absent in Europe when Buchanan returned from England, Ben :ime to New York shortly after and cast , tu see which of the great parties had the bnce of success. Finally, his years of •1 of James Buchanan obtained the mas and lie placed himself in the hands of rends of Fremont—whether or not for a deration I am unable to jtruve. i.s man had grown rich in a career of tj. I lis attacks upon personal charae :is terrorism over actors and actresses, •nckless intrigues against business men easiness interests, all combined, had til :is pockets, and he now aspired to a re able representative position at some for icourt. It is stated that when lie applied nch a position under the Administration : -ideot Pierce, his petition was scouted, ue became the assaiiant of that Adminis :n. llow he toiled to defeat Mr. Bu ' in, the columns of bis journal will show, ••■emed to have abandoned all remorse, agents penetrated every section of the n; they hung about Lancaster, where Buchanan resided; they lingered at •hington : they were in the South and in North, and all talked the same way and ;ii in the same common calumnies. There not a fabrication, no matter how vile, did not find ready circulation through 'ilumns ot the Herald. The most sacred ts were exposed to the public eve. early life of Mr. Buchanan, his inti confidential relations, and especially portion which he himself has most sedu J hidden from notoriety, was ruthlessly bare to the vulgar gaze. This jackal rl press, who grinds his envenomed tooth into the grave itself, tore up the cere ts of the innocent and helpless dead, and into the eyes of the startled public, >e < which even Mr. Buchanan's friends did dare to allude to. "'xjnijjh tj Mr. Jim ha nan cuttiiuj r,jf' Mr. Uennrft's Kurr. dr. Buchanan said to me one dhy, taking di" New i ork Herald, while I was on a • t to Wheatland, " Why am I thus to bo i luced and j ur-ued by this infamous knav. ? iv<: I no friends who will visit New York 'd punifh him as he deserves? llis ears ulj be taken off in the public streets!"— "rer.-aw Mr. Buchanan more excited than w 'ia on this and other occasions, under uett's unlicensed and cruel slanders, and eiieve that it is to my prudence and coin n that Bennett is this day permitted to ik Broadway with his long ears on his uch head. I well remember how, after the uriaign, the first impulse of the Democrats ver the I'nion was to have a settlement the New York Herald. That paper had ended all its influence and a good deal of '..ur nt's money in trying to defeat .Mr. Bu uan. t'rjraph of Mr. Buchanan embracing Mr. Bennett. •housands of Democratic editors through tbe country felt that Bennett deserved to 1 castigated, and at the solicitation of a •-•her of distinguished men, then in Phila sphia, I sat down and prepared a somewhat tf 'tic article, showing him up faithful f s. Mr. Buchanan astonished me by cal ■i my attention to this article, and com of the proprietor of the paper for "dishing it. I told him that 1 had myself ntten it, and that I had written it because *s demanded by common decency, and by "inary respect for the gallant men why had traduced in that journal, and especially •'jie thousands of struggling editors throuh -I'be Inion who liad regarded the Herald mogt infamous, relentless and savag| ."Well." said he, " I regret that I V : written to the proprietor of the paper * J#t this article, but I desire that Mr. Ben • shall support my Administration." • <*o now perceive that the nan who was -• Willing to court the most abandoned and ® os t infamous editor upon the face of the -—the man who was thus willing to pro ,ie support of James Gordon Bennett • <r „ . poured the vials of utter and ficeivaUe wrath upon his head, and after jju- J tra duced the south, betrayed the Re gans, and then rebuked by the result of 'ection—was even at that day resolved 'S own mind to turn his back upon tho tw, 1 , meu j a this city and State, who had •--'Juaed him a6 with a wall of firo, and j who had carried him forward into the Presi dency after twenty years of hard, unremit ting and ohivalric toil. Photograph of Mr. Buehanan in an Ap pealing Attitude. I visited Washington early in December of 1857, and had an intercieio of some three hmirs with Mr on the first day of the meetiny of at its late session. What the object of that interview was, may be imagined from the fact that no other sub ject could have been discussed between the parties, for, as I have said in these remarks, and as the columns of the Press will show, I had no cause of public difference with Mr. Buchanan beyond that of Kansas. We had long since ceuscd to talk about private matters, only did the conversation as detailed take place, but, as the many friends to whom related it aftor I left the President's man sion will remember, many other things were omitted in the statement which I gave at larrytown. Among others, the President said to me, " If you and Walker and Douglas will unite in support of mv Kansas policy, the people of Kansas will vote at the election weich is to come off on the 21st December," (that election, it will be remembered, having been called under the auspices of the minority Legislature, for the purpose of putting through the Lecompton Constitution, and was held under circumstances of fraud and infamy, whicli will not soon he forgotten.) lie said further, " I know that you have the strong side of this question. 1 know that you can carry off the people, but I appeal to you to stand with me, because if I do not adhere to my .new policy, Alabama, Georgia and Mis sissippi will probably secede from the Union." It ij probable that the memory of Mr. Bu chanan will be stimulated when be reads these sentences. As for the Washington Union, whether it speaks for hint or not, in the above extract, lam unable to say. If it docs, the uioiiivry of the President is most defective. As to my offering advice to Mr. Buehanan, I hare only to remark: while Mr. Wendell of the \\ Ashington Union, was unknown in the political world, and while editors of that same paper wero eeining calumnies against the President, my advice and counsel to him were not only gladly and kiudly received, but ear nestly solicited. I spoke as freely to him at all times when he was not President, as I did after his election and installation. Another fact in connection with this inter view with the President 1 may men tit n, and it is this: that one or two days after it trans pired, I returned to Philadelphia and whilst sitting in my office in Chestnut street was visited by an old friend fr. m Southern New- York, whom 1 had met in Washington, and who called on me to say that he had been de sired by the President to stop over and see me, and to assure me that he (the President) intended to make his Kansas policy a test upon the Democratic party, and that no man would be tolerated by his Administration who did not approve and support his policy. 7Vie Comrt. —(>. M. Mitchell,ol the Cin cinnati Observatory, communicates to the Daily Gazette a very interesting paper re garding the Comet which now makes so tine a in our western heavens at night. 11 was discovered by Professor Donati of i' lorence, Italy, nearly four months ago, and for a large portion of the time since it was detected, has been steadily approaching the earth, apt! in a direction so nearly coin cident with the visual ray, that but for the computations <•? astronomers, might excite auticip&tioi.b yC collision with our planet. Indeed, throughput the present month it seems to have beep, plunging downward so exactly toward the earth that it scarcely changed its apparent [ lace among the fixed stars by a qqgiitity larger than two or throe times the diameter of the moon. It will reach its nearest approach to the sun in a few days. Its brilliancy will in crease rapidly up to the first week in Octo ber. when it will put on its most splendid appearance, and will then rival in grandeur the famous Comet of Ifalley, at its best re turn in 1830. This comet, Professor Mitchell says, "will soon commence, t? change direction, at first slowly, afterward more rapidly, as seen from tho earth, when sweeping swiftly round the sun it will regain those distant regions of space wherein a vast proportion of its orbit lies far beyond the reac.h of telescopic vis ion." ted"- See ad vertiseinent of I)r. Sanford's DIVER INVIGORATOK in another column. [From Mu- Alton' Illhiol.,) Courier.] Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. We can Dot too earnestly recommend to the attention tif our aged friends, or others who have been so unfortunate as to lose their hair, the restoring properties of Prof. Wood's won' derful discovery. Certificates of its efficacy are constantly coining in, and ti village can hardly be found in tfie west, where living witnesses cannot be found to testify from ex perience that it will not only restore gray hair to its original color, but will restore to the bald head the locks of youth and beauty, thus furnishing an effectual antidote for the ravages of time and disease. Among those who certify positively to its efficacy in accom plishing its work, is Judge Breese, of this Circuit, together with other responsible wit nesses. Cray headed bachelors and widowers who desiro to make their market, and all oth ers afflicted as above described, deserve to bear their misfortunes without sympathy, if they will not avail themselves of the offered remedy.

Mr. Editor—Being one of those present at the Teachers' Institute held last month in Mc\ eytown, it may not be amiss to say a word concerning it in your columns. It opened on Monday, Sept. 20th, and continued till Friday afternoon of the same week. Its origin and success were unquestionably due to the euergy and perseverance of our worthy County Superintendent, Mr. Hawn, while at the same time the valuable services of Prof. F. A. Allen and Dr. Lambert cannot be too highly appreciated, nor would wo forget oth ers of our own county, who added not a little to that intellectual feast. The fact that so many teachers were present goes far to prove those who have undertaken the instruction of the youth of this county feel an increased in terest in theif vocation. The sessions during the day were taken up with instructions in the various branches usually taught in our common schools, together with discussions tin many subjects connected with therm The evening sessions were devoted to lectures from different persons, among whom your fellow townsman, G. W. Elder, Esq., occupied a prominent place, while through the whole ex ercise* there was diffused that spirit of kind ness and good feeling tcvyard one another which gave so much zest to the Institute, and was of itself worth the whole outlay of time required. But while it is pleasant to speak of these exercises, it is no less a duty than a privilege to speak of the reception given by the citizens of Mc\ eytown and vicinity to the members of the Institute. Every one threw open their doors and seemed wilting to make every sacrifice for their comfort, and it was only after the town was crovyded with the itiflux of strangers that any had to take up their lodging at the betel, and even there, in the enjoyment of every comfort, if not of luxuries, only a nominal price was charged. The Institute haj also the of the best and most commodious building in which to hold its meetings, and a full and often crowded house showed the interest which the citizens took in the exercises. The pressure of the tunes has left its foot prints on almost all else around ami about us, but the hospitality and intelligence of the citizens of McYeytown stand alike unbanned and unsurpassed. That both temporal and spiritual prosperity may always be their lot is the wish of your hum bio correspondent. A TEACHER. Lewistown, October 5, 1858. Died.
