James Buchanan at Rohm.
We have been,peptnitted (sap the Albany
Argue) to take thu ftli•lowing extr.ict from a
private letter dated at Washington on the
20th of Juue .
Wh;le at Laucasfer . on .professional busi
ness, I called at his residence, a mile and a
half from town, to see Mr. Buchanan • with
whom t had been somewhat iiequaintefi 'from
his eutrance into the United States Senate in .

tiful. hickory grove i ever saw.• I Sound Mr.
B. in his libraty,the largest room in the house,
which is Wen filled with books and very neat
ly and appropriately fitted up with furniture
of Peonsvlvaula oak. receives bis com
pany with a courtesy..and simplicity- that
makes every one feel at. his ease, though be
never appears undiguitiUd.. 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,:!

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

me to accept the, ttmsination. They tell me
that the use of my dime will still the agitated

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

I shall never cease to admire and venerate

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.
All the decent men)salongi lig to the N.now-
Nothing andSlack i Republican parties; have
abandoned this coWeinptible calumny. Scime
- of the less scruptil4us among them hoWever,
take the ground, that a he, rigidly persevered
in, is as good as - t 6 truth, as it will !reach •
some individuals Credulous enough toi be
lieve it. We therefore repeat, for the benefit
of such, the preCistilanguage Mr. Buchanan
used in his speech in which ho is idandiareus-
Iy reported to have !advocated low wag efi : .
Sir the laboring lass understand this sub
ject perfectly.. 4 !is _ the hard-handed and

most friendly to the passage of the bill. It
is they who arc Moirardent/y in favor 6f in
fusing it into the' eUrrency of The country a
very large amount Pt: the precious Metals."
"We have all, th4retore, a common interest,
as it is our common: duty to protect the 'rights
of the laboring man ; an 1 if,l believed for a
moment that this bill would prove
..injurous
to him, it should 74eet. my unqualified i oppo

"From. my sout respect the laboring titan.
Labor is the foundation of wealth, of every
country; and the free laborers of the 7Nortli •
'deserve respect both for their ' probity and
their intelligence.; Heaven forbid that 1
should do : them wrong ! Of all he coun
tries on the earth, we ought to have the mast
consideration for the laboring man." .
"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,

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.
But read the letter ;of Mr. Buchanan and the
white laborers andd . the mechanics Id the
North will , percieve that his feelings .lare not
intensified - upon a /race 'upon whom God has
placed his mark distinguishing thenal from a
superior creation, /created for a ',distinct pur
pose. ,
