In the course of nit interview publish ed in the Philadelphia Frets of lastSatur day, .ludge.lere Black saya: ' To charge Buchanan with unfaithfulness to the Unionists is the foulest slander that was ever utteretj. To say that he was influenced by any feeling akin to per sonal fear or that he ever acted or fore bore to act without the snnction of,his conscience is an outrage upon truth too gross to be endured. He had faults, but what may not be forgiven to a man of great ability and pure integrity, who spent the best years of his life, in the public service ? He was as honest a patriot as ever lived, and no man ever sat in the presidential chair who knew better than ho did how to enforce the respect due to himself and his office. Perhaps no calumny that was uttered against him hurt his feelings or injured his character more than that by which he was represented as being bullied and dragooned by Stanton and others. Stan ton never but once ventured beyond the line of mere obsequiousness and then was driven back to his place, cowering under the lash of the president's repri mand. Buchanan did not reinforce the forts in Charleston harbor, and 1 have a right to condemn that as an error, because I said it was wrong at the time and acted accordingly all through. But does it lie in the mouth of his political enemies to find fault with hiin tor that or any other omission to place the country in a better state oi defense against the secessionists? When he told Congress the true state the Union was in and that the means at the dis posal of the executive were altogether inadequate to check the rising revolu tion, they sat silent and unmoved. When he called upon them for help, which they alone could give, they an swered him with insult and vituperation. They admitted that the exposition of the law and definition of his )>owers which he made were perfectly correct, but the needed legislation to enlarge them was not passed. •to the contrary, all bills looking to the increase of the force at his command were either voted down or smothered in committee. When he nominated the collector of the port of Charleston he tendered them a practical issue which the .Senate evaded by letting the nomination lie on the table until Mr. Lincoln came in and withdrew it. Mr. Lincoln himself on the way to the capitol let it be distinct ly understood that he was as much averse to a war as Buchanan was. In his inaugural address ho declared that he would not only forbear all hostile actions, but that he would not even ex ecute the laws or attempt to retake any of the public property which the seces sionists had already unlawfully appro priated, but if they would let him he would carry the mails for them. He jnvited the negotiations which Buchan an had repelled and he temporised and vacillated about the surrender of Fort Sumter. His cabinet voted six to one in favor of the surrender, and his sec rctary of state pledged his faith to give it up. When Mr. Lincoln at last re fused to execute this pledge, Seward in an underhand way did all that he could to prevent the succss of the relieving expedition. These facts being perfectly well known, what are we to think of the men who charge Buchanan of treachery or timidity, and in the same breath laud Lincoln and his administra tion as faithful and firm ?" The Methodist of the World. From lb® Kw fork World. On the 7th of next September there will assemble at London an Ecumenical Conference of the whole Methodist family, which will continue its sessions during two weeks.
