His conversation has a -peculiar charm, because ho uses, as; Mr. Calhoun did, common and' plain lan guage . to communicate his- thoughts. He, never confounds you with language, or words', -you do . , : not understand, nor does be attempt to dazzle by striking expressions or applying: pungent epithets. -His is the - clear; explicit , language of every (Ity life, and which is most' befitting all stations . .. Everything about him indicated that he loves order end quiet, and that the tendency of hi s mind is in favor of utility. There is nothing gaudy or frivolous to be Wend in his house. Its furniture is plain, substantial and appropriate to iti plaCe and uses. His affec tion for his frierets is manifested in 'all parts of .his house. I was Much gratified' in find jog in his library a likeness of the, late Vice President King, whom ho loved, (Wi•o did notHe declared that he was the most un seltish luau that he ever knew, and that from an intimate acquaintance of thirty_years be had never known him to perrorin a selfish act. Mr. Buchanan's taStes are of the most simple kind, and -he lives, like his neighbors, without attempting _foolish ostentation or wearisome display. His uniform frugality has crowned . his litter years with a liberal competence,— never contaminated by parsimony. Poverty and affliction never solicited him in vain. He his always been liberal and chalitable. He is now 65 years of age and has never. been married. His family consists of himself and niece, whose education has been mainly un der his direction, and who accompanied him. during his late mission to England,and whose. knowledge and se - Ilse. • derived front books, study and reflection. l•se.;:iariv qualify her to grace and cheer the tireside of the Sage of Wheatland. - • Mr. Buchanan is very frank to hia friends, and isalways ready to nail hiniseifto their, suggestions, when appropriate. I vas much . struck with the attachment of his old neigh bors and friends, and indeed, of all Pennsyl vanians, to him persr , na3ly. I saw no man in Lancaster whO was not his devoted fiiend.— You would be surprised to learn the large number who voluntarily tell you of his nu merous acts of kindness to them; or their pa rents or friends or neighhbors. His old cli ents are universally.attached to him, and many speak of his gratuitous professional servicasrin fighting the battles of the poor.— A stranger would suppose that the entire population were his friends. During a stay of two or three days at hts house, I found him thronged with company lions early morning tills late honrin the evening, who came to congratulate him on his safe return from Europe. and his triumphant nomination. The, numerous calls , from Pennsylvania farmers seemed to afford him great pleasure. Tbere was an earnest sincerity manifested: by - them that touched'his heart. This deep feeling of attachment was strikingly illustrated when I was present. A Kentucky drover had been to Philadelphia 'and sold his cattle to a city dealer'. When the business was closed, the latter came with the former to Lancaster, a distance of seventy miles, apparently for the ' sole purpose of, congratulating Mr. B. and introducing his Western friend. I was told of other as striking instances of attachment. I saw prominent Whigs at his house, and others oh "the way who openly avowed their • intention to vote for Mr. Buchanan. The reasons for so doing were either personal at tachrnerkor an , avowed, strong desire to re, press all agitation and action tending to dis union, and a wish to restore national harmo ny and quiet. They seemed to be confident that his election would produce the desirable l i result. Some referred to our foreign affairs and expressed the opinion that his experience -wisdom and prudence, would keep them from falling into' confusion, or . resulting in con tention or a stain upon our national honor. . Mr. Buchanan is a large, muscular man, who enjoys the most perfect health, and is capable of enduring as much labor as a young man. During the time I was with him I heard of no subject of conversation with which be was not familiar. He was early distinguished as a sound lawyer. _Ten years service in the House and ten in the Senate made' him 'familiar with the legislation and policy of the countaY. Throe years' service in Russia and throe in England as minister, and four in.the State Department as Secreta ry; made Lim more familiar with our foreign relations than any other living -man. From this you ill readily believe that it is a treat. to bear him converse with him On diplomatic as well as other subjecta, and that those who spend much time with him depart greatly wiser than they came.. lie instructs without making one feel that he does' so and you're grin when.be is called off froni the subject in hand. Had the state of my business permit ted, I should hafe been but too happy to have been but too happy to 'have enjoyed hit hos pitality and society for a longer period, and to have profited by conversation with one so . well qualified to impart wisdom and knowledge, . Like Gen. Jackson, he seems to hire noth ioeto conceal. He remarked that the time was when he anxions to be elected President,:! -hut years and the lom df thoseiwlio wOuld =have rendered him the. needed support,. had changed - his feeling 'upon the subject. lie diad tow been made a candidate without -al effort of kis own, and be f,elt bound to sub= mit to the wishes of his friends, and therefore consented to - becotne the representative of their principles and' wishes. _When referring to the fact that all who entered public life with bina had left the. stage, • and be stai left, alone, 'he se e m ed deeply affected. A :new generation had sprithg up aronn hitii,to many of whom he was mich attached, bat they had not been his companions-fn-atms in the po litical contest of histarly life. But. thosons of his early friends bad demanded his ser vices, and be had no right to refuse.

For the 'objects 3. would not only surrender my own . ease ind comfort,: but cheerfully lay slower:. my life. Considerations like t'heee have imijosed npon me the duty of yielding to the *lilies Of those who must know what the public, good requires. I could not doubt he , ispoke what, be strongly felt. It made a deip impression on my mind. I shalt long remember this visit, and whatev er may be the course of his political fortnnes, I shall never cease to admire and venerate tho Sage of Wheatland. OBSERVER. The Teu Cent Fabrleadotip :The New York Tribune admits with an un usual frankness, that .Mr. Xuckanan never made use .of any such expression as baslbeen falsely imputed to him. The Tribune says : "The charge that Mr. Buchanan has intro cated a -redaction bf laboring men's wages to ten cents. per day, ;has but a very painful sep port in fact. He Certainly. never umade any such proposition directly,nor anything which he understood to have that effect.

"That country is most prosperous:tilt-re , tabor contmadi the greatest reward." • It is a fortunate i tircuitistance that this famous charge has been put in , eircUlation by unscrupulous and unprincipled politic:Ill partisans, and it had been the means ofidevel- 1 oping the important fact in the clearest light, that Mr. • Buchanan •has ever been the Sincere advocate of •the rights and interests, of the Workingmen. Witness his advocacy ;in the Senate, of our national armories being placed under civil insteadt of military superinten dence,,which was al mea.sure of, the greatest importance to the Mechatties.9The follbwing, which we copy from the Trenton,N. Jl, True 4merican, need* o 9 void, of comment from us. It speaks for iiself: SYMPATHY SF :AMES BUCITAICAS POW THE ' MORXING-MAN. In looking over an old file Of,the Arniy and Chronicle, says the Boston Daily , Mies, we canto across the following letter by Mr. Bu' chanan, then a U. S. Senator from Pettsylva nia, to Le Hon. Mahlon Dickerson, ther. Sec retay of the Navy. !Although written nearly twenty years ago, it is another of the many evidences of the synipathy of James Buchan an fur the laboring i;lasses. We cannot find on record anythingithat wouldahowMr. Bu, ehanan's want of.feeling to the colored men, our rampant Black Republicans' are wont to call "men and • brethren ; nor can we find anything which would go to show that" Mr. Buchairtn, in his preveibial benevolent e,gave preference to the negro over the, men of his own color and blood. A constitutional dem ocrat and a. friend of the Union,' he loOks up on the South as eqiial 'with the North it and he will sustain the rights of each under the Constitution. As: a statesman, he egards ihisas a - government, of white tnen,an , not' a government of colored. men. As; a philoso phet, ho feels that the condition of the three millions of blacks in our. Southern States is incomparably bettetc in being well fed, well housed, well clothed, and well bareth for, in every' moral and Phyicial detail, thin any other three millioneof negroes that have ever eziated, or now exist in any part Of the world.
