leading Democratic paper, in New Jewry. The i.enti-
meats in regard to Mr. Buchanan's accepting a place
atthia dine on the 'Bench of the Supreme Court, are
just and apixotite, and have our most hearty concur ;
fare ;-..1*-intirf.d, do 1 hoi:e exptessaNi throughout the
whole article. We take shame to ourselves in propor
tion to our place in the rash. of PerinsylVania denim--
racy—that it was reserved for a prominent paper in a
neighboriti,g state, to be the first to rebuke the idea of
I , e - tilde - ally burying the favorite son of the " Old Keystone"
quite so saiininnrily." When -will the 'present piti
ful, truckling, " wheel-horse poliey" of Pennsylvania.
give Place to a manly, fearless and elevated support of
her own men and her own interests I To our humble
apprehension, that time is not far distant. For ourselves
—wet tt. tight plainly—our armor is on, and our
nerves
all minor movementst-we spent the petty ent anee
ments which selfish politicians have been, and are still
weaving in the ranks of Pennsylvania Democrats, w e
go fur Buchanan arid Shenk against the /field; and
four fifths of the honest, uncorrupted an il,corruprible
Democratic yeomanry of the state, will ectioi the rallying
cry, whentnir it shall be raised. That time, again we
say. is not far distend. The Emporium remark's:—
SCatesman is a matter of rare occurrence in Amen-
C 3. We have hosts of politicians and political lawyers,
but few, very few trained and educated Statesmen. The
consequence is, that car' halls of legislation are filled with
men who have ,words and arguments at command, but
who discuss grave subjects of high national irniortance,
with the subtlet y and hair-splitting ed .- accomplished ad
vocates, instead of e.isiday ing those broad and Irberal
views which are taken by enlarged and culightemd minds
who have thrown off the trammels of special pleading,,
and that blind regard for precedent, which is the chief
boast and stumbling block of the legal pruti-ssion. The
greatest lawyers and greatest judges have, from these
caws, offered the most signal instances of entire failures
=1
In the Senate of the United States within the last few
years, the Democratic party has had four statesman of
the first class, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Wright, Col. Ben
ton, and Mr. Buchanan—all men of the highest order of
intellect, who had shaken off and forgotten the petty
niceties of the law, which form the capital of the success
ful lawyer, and who were dealing with those great prin
ciples of political science which influence the destinies
of millions, and with external and internal questions of
national policy, affecting the happiness and the prosperi
ty of the people of America and the peace of the civilized
world. Of one of these gentlemen we propose to say a
few words.
Mr. Buchanan is a native of a neighboring state. He
was bred a lawyer, worked hard at his profeision, and
soon acquired a handsome fortune, which allowed him
to follow the natural bent of his mind and to devote him
;tell to the study of politics in its most enlarged sense.—
Mr. Buchanan had been a member of the State Legisla-
Mrs when very young,and hail early entered the halls of
Congress, where he soon distinguished himself as a strong
and vigorous thinker. lie wisely determined to give up
the practice of the law before it had bound and fettered
his intellect with the iron bands of legal precedent. No
• 11130 has ever been more successful in this effort, and for
the last fifteen years the people of the United States have
forgotten entirely that he was a member of the bar, and
have only recognized 'him as a statesman and patriot,
who was devoting his best energies to the welfare of his
fellow citizens and to the extension of those great princi
ples of civil and religious freedom which lie at the root
of out republican institntions.
' In the early part of Gem Jackson's first term, he sent
Mr. Buchanan to Russia, where be formed an advanta
geous treaty, and during his stay abroad he became prac
tically acquainted with the interests and feelings of the
firincipal nations of Europe. His diplomatic skill, as
well as his congressional talents, were acknowledged by
aIL After his return in December, 1834. (we think) he
was eleited to the Senate of the United Staten. of which
dignified body he continued a most distinguished mem
ber, until called to the highest office in the gift of Ar
executive by President Polk. It is during this 'portion
of his political life that Mr. Buchanan has displayed his
prenliat qualities se a Statesman. He mastered and
elucidated all the great questions of banking, currency,
finance, assumption of state debts, the North Eastern
boundary, Texas and Oregon, the last of which remains
under the-peculiar charge of the department of which he
is the head.—,is the great question of the day, and for the
future settlement of which the Union looks to hia pru
dence, &mites,. and entire acquaintance with the sub
ject in aiding the President in bringing it to a successful
IMMMI
Mr. Buchanan's intellect and grasp of mind have im•
proved most rapidly during the loot fifteen years, and
his speeches no loner exhibit the dry arid hard charac
terivtics of the pforessional man, but are remarkable for
thi.ir pure and idiomatic siyle, and for the statesman
like enunciation of the highest principles of political
selectee.
For his present post he is most peculiarly fitted ; for
fie:possesses, in a high degree, all those great qualities
which point him out for the highest office in the gift of
the People, and to which, at some future period, they
wit} undoubtedly call him. He is safe, e« m and jadi
cioua in counsel, essentially American in ill hi= tzemigs,
thoroughly versed in all our foreign rel.dions, and
wields i :pen equal to any of his illustrious prediees-
Mr. Buchanan is the contribution of the Dernor . ratic
State ofTennsylvanis to the Cabinet of the President of
tier choice. He is its acknowlalt , , , e,l head, from his pre
eminent talents and his long and brilliant service as a
Democratic leader. The Democratic party is entirely
satisfied with the whole cabinet of Col. Poll.- It was
well and judiciously selected. Its members all admira
bly fitted for their respective posts. and any change would
be unwise and would mark instability of purpose,. and
weaken the hold of the administration on the Democracy,
awleountenance the allegation of internal disfwnsion
antic by its political foes.
We have but one or two words more. The politieif
enemies of Mr. Buchanan, and sorneprodnninrecl,kind,
rt4-y kind friends, wish him to desert his high Isi , ition,
his Wets. if' friends, and the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania and the Dillon, who haire elevated him by their
generous contelence, for the junior judgabip on the Su.

We unden.tand tb's 'gentleman expresses great in
dignation that we s'esuld have the temerity, after election
is over, to refer tt, aim and his course during the MTh
paign. We v.oeld gladly have let the subject slept, and
would have done SO had not Mr. Adams, with the bold
cat ea . ..on:try, denied the allegation we had made through
the crli.mns of the Reporter, and charged upon as a
wi'Ai perversion of farts to defeat his election. It has
aver been our determination and study, to adhere to
truth on alt occasions, and we would scorn to publish a
statement during an election canvass, that we did not, at
least, believe to be fullyand strietlytrup, and, where per
sonal considerations were involved, that could net be sus
tained by the clearest proof, even after the contest bad
passed away. When we stated, beforeghe election that
Mr. Adams had said "He would spend one thousand
dollars to, defeat one of the democratic candidates for
Representative and secure his own electron," and that
he was " engaged in completing a purchase of a large
body of lands, in this county, of the Bank of North
Amerce" we knew well our position and the responsibili
ty we were assuming, if it was not strictly and literally
true. Mr. A. denied the statement we had-made, and
procured a certificate from his partner in the purchase,
that he then had no interest in the affair. Thus a gees
rim of veracity was raised by Mr. Adams between him
self and the Bradford Reporter, and knowing as we did
that every word we had published could be clearly sus
tained by the proof, we last week reiterated the charge,
offering to furnish the proof if Mr. Adams would
deny it publicly—and for this he professed such mighty
indignation. We once more repeat that we have THE
PROOF at hand, of every word we have said, which
shall be forth coming whenever Mr. A. shall makes pub
lic denial of the facts. Now let the public judge—
Mr. A. is absent, we will await his -return, and denial,
should lie think proper to meet the issue. If not, we
hope he will submit patiently to the operations of the
troth, however much, he may smart under its applica
tion.
J. IV. fourrev.—This gentleman having sometime
since, acrepted an appointment to a station in Philadel
phia, under the General Government—has formally re
tired from the editorial supervision of the Lancaster
lotelligencer. While we rejoice at the cause, as a trib
ute to worth and talent, we regret exceedingly, to lose
him from the corps, editorial. Few men of his age,have
rendered 'more - eflicient service in the great cause of popu
lar rights, than has Mr. Forney. His temperament is
ardent, yet au qualified by kindness of heart, that in the
exciting struggles in which he has borne a part—he
seems to have provoked no lasting enmity. Many of
the roost respectable papers of the opposition speak of
him in terms of esteem.
He not only wields a ready pen, but in the -last
Presidential campaign, he exhibited talents of a high or
der as a popular speaker. This, many of the Demo.
crane citizens of Bradford, had an opportunity of ob
serving, during his visit last year, in company with Mr.
Buchanan. "Take him all in all"—he has talents and
qualifications that render him invaluable as a partisan in
th'e political field, and we venture to trust, hia with
drawal is but temporary. But go where he may—as a
long cherished personal friend—we tender him our hand,
with our heart's best blood warming every rein.
Vo-re ron Csxst. CONXISSIONEL—The Pennsylva
nia Reporter gives us the official vote for Canal Com
missioner from all but eight counties. The majority
for Burns, the Democratic candidate so far—is over 29-
000; seven of the counties to be heard from are Demo-
cratic, and nil! increase the majority for Burns to over
30,000. Morton the native, and Lorimer the abolition
ist. are "lost in the fog."
The result df the recent campaign, is extraordinary,
and almost unprecedented, Our majority of the popular
vote is as unexpected as it is gratifying to the friends of
equal rights ;- 7 -and furnishes an earnest of the success
that awaits the democracy of the " Keystone State" in
1917—when we shall again enter the conflict with
OLD FRA3K. Surxa" as commander in chief.
T.Err\r Er.ccrioNs.—The Whigs have elected their
Governor in the State of Georgia by a small majority.
and have a majority in the House of Representatives,
The Democrats have the Senate.
Ou o has gone for the whip.
!Itstvs is still democratic. Anderson's majority for
Governor over all opposition is about 200. The Senate
will stand 28 Democrats, to 3 whigs. GI Democrats
and 27 whigs are elected to the House. 50 districts, in
which there is no choice, a majority of which are deci
dedly democratic.
qa N iCTICUT.—Of the town elections as far se heard
from, the Democrats have carried 33, and the Federal
ists 27—Democratic nett gain, 4. The New Haven
Herald says this affords the most favorable indications of
the Democratic success at the next State eletection.
The amendment to the Constitution abolishing the prop
erty qualification for voters, has undoubtedly succeeded.
REvnv►t.—The question of removing the el:Knit ,
seat of Columbia County from Danville to Bloomsburg,
way detet mined at o the late election by a vote of the peo
ple. and was settled in favor of Bloomsburg. The vote
stood ai follows :
Illonm‘burg,.

TRANKSGIV/S6 llsr.—We ere rejoiced to see that
Gov. Siltl3X has issued his official proclamation for the
holding a day of thanksgiving and praise, throughout the
Commonwealth. Thursday the 27th of November, is
'the time designates], and we have no doubt that all the
religious denominations will adopt measures for its prop.
er observance. We will insert theproctem4n next week.
Rest•stn.—Caisius M. Clay has recommenced the

Arrival, of the Steamship Hibernia.
The Hibernia was telegraphed from the sta
tion of the Merchants' Exchange, Boston, on
Sunday tnovfing. at 45 minutes past 6 o'clock.
at which time she was 20 miles east of the
lower station, andso miles from Boston. She
arrived at her wha'rf in East Boston at 91
o'clork.'bringing seven days i later.news (root
Europe. and making hey_ J passage in fifteen
days. She sailed front Liverpool on the 4th
inst. 'The Hibernia brought out 87 passen

The 'arrival of the steamship Caledonia oc

The corn market continues firm, and the
fine weather which prevailed" lain week at the
hailing of the steamship, kavirig been followed
by repeatetland heavy falls of rain, the market,
In, the early , .part of the pre . sent week, acquired
iadditiopal fienmeits,-)1 - - ecintinued so; with a
Drawback, at - the present time. Large
quantities of flour are daily arriving from the
Cline(' States and Canada; and from the na
ture of the advices recently sent across the
atlantic, the supply• from those quarters, there
is every reason to believe, will increase. From
the cause,' at which we glanced in our last pub
lication, the import rate on wheat has advanced
to 18s.—the result of the inferior qualities
I thrown on the market.
,The importduty-on flour is now 10s. 10d.
per barrel. In some instaners, recently', Irish
fluur ; has receded Is. per sack, and Canadian
6d. per barrel, influenced by the large arrivals
from the West; which amount, since Monday,
to nearly 9000 barrels.
' The Cotton market, which was dull at the
sailing of the Great Britain, still continues in
an inactive state. The quotations on most de
scriptions, except Sea Islands, have receded
1-8 d per lb., and at the time of writing the
market is heavy, with a downward tendency.
The absorbing feeling in rail-way shares !nay
have partially contributed to this, and the ris
ing price of provisions, with the approach of
winter, is also to be taken into account. The
Committee of Brokers have declared the price
for the present week to be—Bowed, 4,1-d ; Mo
bile, ; and Orleans, sd.
The produce markets are not so active as
they have been. Rice is less in demand. Su
gar has receded a little, with less inquiry,
while the price of foreign coffee has improved
a shade.
The rate of interest. in England is risir.g, in
consequence of the scarcity of money, super
induced by railway speculation. Some of the
large discount horises decline to take any more

cent., recovered yesterday their former prices.

stir account. Exchequer bills stand at 455. to
475. premium.
As the settlement in the share market has
passed over tolerably well, speculation has ta
ken a new bound, and the new announcements
are grasped at with amazing avidity. There
has been little doing in 'the colonial lines, the
rage being continued to the new projects in the
British Islands.
The accounts received from the manufactur
ing districts, since the sailing of the Great
Britain, are of a satisfactory nature. In the
great woollen Marts of Leeds and Hudderlield,
the stock of cloths on hand is somewhat small ;
manufacturers were busily employed, especial
ly in the getting out of goods for the winter
Beason. Prices seem likely to advance. The
flannel market at Rochdale is in a thriving
condition t. as is also that of Halifax, where
the dema nd is good, and sales rather easily
effected. For the Orleans, Merinoes ant Co
burgs, manufactured at Bradford, there is a
ready sale. at remunerating prices.
'I'UE HARVEST.—The reports which have
reached us since our last, respecting the pro
gress made .with the harvest in the north, are
not of a character to allay die excitement pre
viously felt on the subject. The heavy rain
which fell up to the 21st instant was succeed
ed by dry but unusually cold weather. Sharp
koala were experienced on the nights of the
22d ane 23d inst.. and though the temperature
has since risen, the shift of wind to the south
ward threatens a return of wet. The Interval
tf dry weather has hitherto been of too short a
duration too admit of much corn being carried,
and the extreme cold has prevented that not
before ripe making much progress towards ma
turity. It is, therefore feared—and not with
out reason—that the more backward parts of
the kingdom may fare even worse than the
south ; and as the reports of the yield from the
forward districts do not by any means improve
as thrashing is proceeded with, the estimates
of the results of the harvest become daily more
discouraging. These considerations have had
their effect on the minds of sellers as well as
buyers, and, with a greater inclination to pur
chase, less disposition has been manifested to
sell. The up ward movement has, conserpient
ly, continued, and 1:1-..soine of the principal
markets, materially enhanced terms have been
paid for wheat. -
IRELAND.— The Tipperary Banquel.—A t
the late banquet, given to O'Connell by the
Repealers of Tipperary, that gentleman, in the
course of a long speech, made the following
observations Let the cycle but come round
for England, (and it is coming fast,) Ireland
will have her own again, and England will be
obliged to ask for that alliance which we are
now ready to make—an alliance of separate
States under the one monarch, with our own
Parliament to protect us, as the sole source of
legislation for the country. Every opposition
must shrink before the might and majesty of
Ireland. Repeal will give to Ireland the wa
ters of life pure and unalloyed, and unmixed
with mephitic vapors. They shall be admin
istered by a resident Parliament acting for the
people—protecting and encouraging the indus
try of the land, and giving peace, liberty and
prosperity to old Ireland." O'Connell has
emerged from his mountain home, and is again
on the wing. He has been lecturing a - Mon
stealemonstration " at Cashel, and his ap
pearance at the Repeal Association has given
a new impetus to the rent.

Late from Texas.
The steamer Cincinnati, Captain Smith, ar
rived at this port yesterday, from Arkansas hay,
via. Galveston: She left Arkansas on the 28th,
and Galveston on the 14th, and we have cor
responding dates front both places. Papers
from Washington to the 25th ult. have also
been received.
Since the last accounts of the disaster of the
Dayton, three of the wounded have died, viz :
Captain West, acting clerk of the boat ; a cabin
boy, and a soldier of the United States Army.
The sad occurrence took place about 11 o'clock
in the morning, and not in the evening, as pre
viously stated.
The steamer Neva. - and the schooner
Carolina (now U. Kinney) were near by.
and rendered the. first assistance to the suf
ferers.
"There appear to be no indications of any
hostile movementi‘on the Rio Grande.
Castro. chief ot the Lapans. lately came to
Corpus Christi in company with the Secreta
ry of War and Major Hays, and, while in
camp, was treacherously shot, though not mor
tally, by some unknown ruffian.
A company of Cumanches was lately seen
traveling in the direction to Matamoras ; and
a detachment of the dragoons had gone in pur
suit.
' The Cincinnati arrivectat Aransas bay, from
1-Charleston, on the 25th ult., with two compa
nies of artillery. The ship
.Araneas_had ar
rived with the Bth regiment of infantry. !The
,ship,landed her, troops and departedihe flame
day. Gcberal Worth. the commander. arrived
at Aran,aaby the Cincinnati. The ship Her
mann: with COI. Ringgold's corps of artillery.
had also arrived. The United State . ? sloop-of
war Lexington, - with seven companies of ar
tillery, from New York, was m sight off Ar
ansas; when the Cirwinnati left. The barque
Bachelor. from Norfolk, with two companies
of artillery, arrived a few_alays before.
Things look more and came peaceful on the
frontier. Mexican traders from all the princi
pal towns on the Rio Grande were daily com
ing in to Corpus Christi, and the proi;abilities
of hostilities were daily decreasing,:
Capt. M'Lean with the steamer Leo, has
gone into the Nueces.
There is no confirmation of the news, as
stated by us yesterday : that the army was
about moving on the Rio Grande. The Week
ly News informs us That the dragoons will
go up the Nneces for their winter quarters,
and perhaps some of the infantry ; a majority
of the army will remain at Corpus Christi.
Colonel,Kitiney has rented his commission
house to the officers of the army for their
quarters.
There are a number of vessels at Aransas,
from N. York. Baltimore, N. Orleans, and
other ports of the United States.
Lumber is in great detriind at Corpus Chris

The following extract from a letter from
Matamoros shows the state of feeling there :
MATAmoRAs, Sept. 13, 1845
"Our latest accounts from the capitol are
up to the 30th August. and state that it is gen
erally believed that the pending question rela
tive to the annexation of Texas will not lead
to a war between Mexico and the United States.
In the fret place, the first outbreak of the pas
sions has subsided ; and now the exhausted
state of the Mexican treasury, and the general
apathy of the people. are two-great impedi
ments. We confidently believe that no war
will result ; and the proof of it is, that no Mexi
can troops have as yet moved towards this
frontier."

produce a brisk effect, and your - sickness will be the af
fair of a day or two, while those who are too wise to fol
low this common-reuse advice, will be sick for months.
Let the sick enquire of the agents for Brandreth's Pills
whether these things are so or not. Let them enquire
among their friends and ask the same question. Verily
if EVIDENCE is wanted it shall be procured. To the

AN OBSTINATE CASE.
Baltimore, Feb. 13th, 1845.
Dr, li. W. Andrews:
Sir,--The box of Dr. Smith's " Sugar Coated Indian
Vegetable Pill," I purchased of you some two months
past, rfound:.in their application to my sun (of about fif
teen years of age) the most happy effects on the system.
He had been fur some years , very delicate in health, and
very much subject to Fever and Chills, so much so as to
create alarm for his future health, and for two or three
years we had to keep him from school most of the time.
I am now frank to acknowledge the complete restoration
of his health, and a fair prospect of its permanent enjoy
ment.
The above gentlemen is a well known wholesale mer
chant in Baltimore.
