For the last twenty years 1 have hail a
similar vision on the eve of the Presiden

Troubles of a Bimecrat.
CHAPTER H.
MR. EDITOR :—l>ear sir, as it lias been
so kmg since 1 gin you an account of nrv
self, you incut think as bo* my troubles had
got the whip hand of me, or as how some
varmint had run through with me, and
brought me to my eend, jest to keep cur
old Buck from gittiii my vote ; but if you
are a tbinkeu sitcli things, you are pooty
much mistakeh ; for though I have had an
almighty sit", of troubles, yit they have trot
got ahead of me, nor I ant not snake bit
cor notbin, nitlier j but I have heeu so all-
Sre'l busy that 1 couldn't write uor do
Botbcn.
In he fust place, 1 was busy as a ben
v.i:b 000 chicken, a watehen to see bow the
Ciueiuuaty Convention would turn out —to
see who they would pick on for President:
and I kunwed they would pick out as hon.
est and capable a feller as ever was, but
tln-n you know there is so many sit-di
fellers in our I>iuieera:ie party —iu fac t
n: irulv all honest and capable, especially
the. Uctcb—that it couldn't help bein hard
to pick one out froui among so many.—
1 lowsuujeuever, they got one, aud when 1
beard wbo they bad took and sot up for
President, I was so glad that I ri- right up,
and Inillord out a big shout, "Hooray for
old Bock, Piiuoeraev and the Peteband
1 jumped about so that you would a thought
1 was yiitiug ; and you couldn't a told if my
arms and leg, (it mont. not do, as I always
want to be porlite, to say /ejs, so 111 jist
take them legs back agin, and say limbs , )
yes, 1 say you couldn't a told if my limbs
stack to me or some other feller, and when
1 got through, I said to a feller—that some
umut ask, was this eld chap himself, if they
would a saw bint; jest look at that !
Now, sir, 1 guess we'll go it. \\ e have
got a Iwick to run as is a Buck ; and 1 rath
er kinder sorter guess he'll go it like a
Buck ; hot then that little "SAM"' Oh,
if it wasn't for that little booger, we could
je.-t do as we please ' I jest expose as hoW 4
if that little- man wouldn't a meddled any,
we ui'ait a been under the government ot
old Kiiel'tud to-day , and instead of otir
ltuck having to run his limbs to git into
some high office, be mout a bin called Imrd
Buck, or some tiling so! . And some ether
good one, not a hundred miles from Bed
ford, luviit a bin so lucky as to have had a
Sir , at the lowest carkelation, stack to one
ecud of /tiii n.auie, &c., &<•. But then we
couldn't till biu so fortunate : some of n
say a few, perhaps twenty odd millions
mout a bad nothing stuck to the ecttd of
tiur names, but then we would a bin sari in
to a had syiinetbiii stuck iu our pockets ;
we would not hjive the fun of any 'lections,
nor any voice ti> be beard In anything, but
then we could pay tax, for ail, and that
would he easy, you know, if only we could
he governed by foreigner*. Y-e-s s-i r-r-e-e,
all this umut a Liu, and more too, it' it
w."s ut for that feller. Why, yes, jist look,
we v>* ones under one George 111., ami
vou know how uiee he used us—chat nice
Governors &v. he sent us, and all that kind
of thing, yet little Saw couldn't rest; hut
ji -1 because good old George had a mind to
tax us without latum us have a representa
tion in Parliament, be got crusty, mwl lor
any tiling 1 know, he gin a big-cuss about it,
or said souie other bad talk—anyhow he
undo a fuss about, it ; and when oldGoorg.
sent us a little store tea over, aud wanted
tr* toulrinl- it, that he UiOUt tax us, Sam he
cut up a rusty, and wouldn't drink it, but
worked it so that it all got spilt out into
Posting Harbor' And that wasn't the
vend of it; for when our old mother coun
try sent some of her boys over here to dress
Sam off, they found as how ho had got so
stout, that lie would go a gunuin, or fUltiu,
or isuntio birds' nests, &e., jisf vi'ien he.
phased ; and if they would try to stop buu,
and git him to pay a little tax, while they
didn't give him a chance to talk sometime-*
he would lay down his things that he had a
workeu with, and pick np something or
another and trounce the whole of them.—
Well, so it was ; and after our old mother
found that she couldn't do anything with
him, she, acting as a kind mother would,
sent off to a neighbor of hers—one Prince
of Hesse—and got Litu to send some teu
thousand or so of his valiant Ilessian
Dcteb over to help her to git Sam fixed in
sitch away, that she uwut bring him up in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord .
but then what a fuss ! Why tlwy was some
seven vcars a working at him, and still
couldn't git him Tight; and after that the
good old lady sent lmf boys over agin, and
still couldn't do nothing—but one thing,
you know, and that is, that if thojr could
nut get him straight, they made him and his
followers a world of trouble ; caused him
and his men to suffer hunger, cold, and
sometimes nakedness, and also they drench
ed the earth with what some would call the
blood of the most upright, and noble, and
caused thousands to be widows, and tens of
thousands to be orphans, before he and his
followers got their liberly—but then you
know, as foreigners did it, 'twas nothing.
And since that he has doue so much mis
chief, and is so unres'less. Jest look how
he has bin a worken iu polities! When
weMiave been a worken it si that foreigners
uwut ccmc here and git naturalized and
vote, whether they are civilized or not, or
know or care anything about us and our
country, he always wants to have tlnem dear
people to wait awhile—like we have to —
before they vote ; yea. git civilized fust, and
lam to have some feeling for us before
tb°y meddle in our things. And when wo
seem inclined to put. foreigners in what Sam
calls places of lienor and profit, instead of
our "inrnb countrymen, he will jump up and
say, inasmuch as these same foreigners
didn't help to git our liberty for us : but on
the other hand their G< vcrmuents would, in
our struggles for freedom, have stood by us
with their bands in their pockets, and seen
us crushed to tire earth without lending us
a helping hand : so let tlieta fellers mind
their own business, when they come here?
and we will try to manage our things our
selves : and if we find we are too dumb to
git along without them, we will then, instead
of voir, sell them for a song what cost us
untold blood and treasure. And if they
can't cum here without ruling us, let them
sta\ at home : for they don't cum here for
our good, but their own, and we can git
along without them. And another thing,
if we would go to where them fellers ctim
from, and want to git into office and rule, or
raise a mob, or the least lectin bit of a fuss,
we would stand a pretty smart chance ol
gitting our heads brok".
This is some of his doctrine, and la!
what would we poor people do without
them dear people 1 But so it is; and so it
is that Ham has gone and get a big feller
named Fillmore, to run agin our Buck for
President, and 1 jest expose as how he will
work it so as how that big felior will play
hokcy with us,in this our year of grace, 'stl.
like lie got old Tip to do in '4O, and old
Zack in '4B. If he docs raise one of them
conflusiifieatioiis agin, we're gone suckers-
But then there is so many Dimeerats, aud
Pctoli, anl Irish, and all the good people,
licit lam in Lopes as how we can go it; ex"
posing as I do, that we will all stick t >
get'oer, and work by every hook and crook
to git. old Buck in, and let Hani and his tol-
Icrs take cure of the Government, while we
help ourselves; and then agin we all vote
one.-, and some of us twice or so, aud 1
think we will have the most votes in : and
then old Biik would be in, and the way the
Detcb and Irish and Catholics would stay
in the good offices, and slavery grow and
flourish, would be good to look at !
Wouldn't ii ' says 1 to that feller.
tl Oh,crackey ! yes, I presume that y HI ev
idently expect to see us Americans up in
such style, that after the election there will
be nothing found of lis, except a lot of old
hoots and a little bit of hair! However
you should not bo too sanguine, for you may
liud it very difficult to got things iixeu to
your liking hereafter, ax you have done for
the last few years. And knowing us I do,
tko strength and influence of that little
gentleman, whom you call Sam, and also
his natural turn of miud, I would advise
you and your party, if you want to get your
old Pack into the White House, to start
hitn for it immediately, and tell hint to take
some private way, for if Sam should be in
any way evil disposed towards him, he will
be sure to get on his little pony, and over
take him, nd then be would knock the
horns off of your Pnek, an l perhaps be
tempted to break them over his head. The
truth is, 1 know that Saw has lately been
very much displeased with the corruption o £
vour party : so much so, that he will be
likely to coutiniie bis meetings night and
day, and ltoll up the picture of your de
formity to the eyes of the honest members
of this nation, and raise such a spirit of en
thusiasm in Ins favor, aud such an opposi
tion against you, as will compel you and
each of you, in order to get Mr. Puehaitan
into the Presidency, to vote at least two or
three times. Take iny word for it, that this
nation is not so depraved as to put the reins
of government iuto the hands of such rec
reants again, as have had them during a few
vcars past, and at present. lam uo proph
et, but it is my opinion, that after all your
"fuss and feathers," Mr. Fillmore will get
to the White House, and have everything
fixed "nice aud tidy"' before your Mr. PUCK
will get there, uuu we will be pretty likely
to know who is to be Post Master General
about as soon as some other of the dear peo
ple, and perhaps as much about some other
things."

A DIM ECU AT. I
From foe Louisville Journal.
SIR. riAl ANI) 51 IS- BI'CHAIIAX.
In nearly all the artfcley wo-see relative
to the prominent and active part taken by ;
Mi. Buchanan iu the bargain aud intrigue j
slanders against -Mr. Oily, a very important!
point Las been overlooked. \V e shall call j
attention to it, and the authority for what
we state is GalSs &- Seaton's Register of
Debates iu Congress:
"On the Cd of February, 1825, Mr. Clay
'rose from his place' in the Speaker's Chair,
and demanded au examination into the
charges brought against him in the public
prints by Mr. Kreuier. After Mr. Clay
concluded his remarks, Mr. Forsyth, of
Georgia, moved that the matter bo referred
to a Special Committee of nine members.
Upon this motion of Mr. Forsyth, a discus
sion took place, when, cu motion of Mr.
Coudiet. of New Jersey, the subject was
po.-tpoued until the next day. Ou the next
day, 'on motion of Mr. Ceudict, the House
resumed the consideration of the motion ot
Mr. Forsyth to refer the communication of
i the Speaker to a Select Committee,' when a
further discussion took place, during which
Mr. Foot, of Connecticut, said that certain
papers were relerred to iu the motion of the
gentleman from Georgia, (Mr. Forsyth,)
which wefo not before the House; and he
suggested to the gentleman the propriety of
so modifying his motion as to refer to the
Committee nothing more than the communi
cation of the Speaker. ,
".Mr. Forsyth accepted the mod fication,
and, at the requisition of the member, re
duced his motion to the following form :
"'Resolved, That the eomuiuuicaum
made by tlie Speaker to the House, be re
ferred to a Select Committee..'
"A/,-. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, now
movd I hut the House adjourn.
"The motion was negatived.
"Thereupon further discussion took place
upon an apictiduient offered by Mr. McDuf
fic, of South Varolii**. pending which Mr.
Randolph, yt Virginia, moved 'this propo
sition, nitlt its amendments. accessories.and
principals, should be indefinitely postponed.
"The Speaker pronounced the mutinu of
the gentleman from Virginia, indefinitely to
postpone, not to be in order while an amend
ment was pendiug.
".Mr. Mepuffij now withdrew liis amend
ments for a lime in order that the question
might be takeu on the motion for iudciiutte
postponement.
"Mr. logrnni,of Pennsylvania,demanded
that that question sbouid be taken by yeas
and nays.
"The que.-tion of indefinite postponement
was then taken by ycaS and nay s, as fol
lows :
Here follow the names of yeas and nays.
Mr. Buchanan voting yea. The vote stood
yeas 77, nays 1"7.
"Mr. JleDafEe now renewed his motion
to amend.
"The question was then put on Mr. Mc-
Duffie's amendment, and negatived by a
large may wit v.
"The question then recurring on the ori
ginal motion of Mr. Forsyth, as above stat
ed, in writing, it was decide i in the affir
mative, by yeas and nays, as follow:
"Here follow the names of the yeas ani
nays, Mr. Buchanan voting nay. The vote
stood yeas l'Jo, uays GU.
"So Mi. Forsyth's motion was curried.
"Mr. Forsyth moved that the committee
he appointed by ballot; which was agreed
to."
(Messrs. P. P. liarbour, Webster, Mc-
Lean, Taylor, Forsyth, Saunders, and llank
m were appointed on the next day.)
"On the 9th of February, Mr. Barbour,
from the Select Committee, reported that
the Committee, through its Chairman, -had
summoned Mr. Kremer to appear botore the
Commit lee, and bring his evidence, which
he declined to do, and 'in this posture cf
the case the Committee can take no further
steps.' And here tiio matter has ever
rested."
Those proceedings will he found in Giles
and Seaton's Register of Debates iu Con
gress of the second session of the eight
eenth Congres--, volume 1, pages 44.0 to 444,
and 4(5i! to 4fMi, and 52) to 520.
Now is not this monstrous* Gen. Jaek-
SOII said that his informant was Mr. Bucha
nan. Mr. Buchanan, according to Gen.
.Jackson, was Mr. Clay's secret accuser and
slanderer. Mr. Clay asked for an investi
gation, when Mr. Buchanan, to defeat and
prevent, an investigation, not oulv moved an
adjournment of the House and aftcrwardg
voted for an indefinite postponement , but
voted directly to disallow Mr. Clay the op
portunity of vindicating his character from
the foul aspersions which he had secretly
and basely helped upon it. No houoraolc
mau would act thus toward a negro, much
less toward the Speaker of the House of
the American Congress. Even the notori
ous and infamous George Kretner, who re
fused to make good his public charges, did
not thus act, for he failed, refused, or ne
gieuted to vote upon both the propositions
denying Mr. Clay the right and privilege of
vindicating his character. Theu where was
Mr. Buchanan when the chairman uotitied
Krcmer to appear before the committee
withis witnesses? Comment is unneces
sary.
Mot for all the world's wealth would any
man of the slightest pretensions to honesty
act towanl -another as Mr. Buchanan acted
toward Mr. Clay. Knowing himself to be
the orginal cause of the atrocious slanders
against Mr. Clay, knowing them to be slan
ders, and knowing that Mr. Clay, if an op
portunity should be presented, could not
only prove tbem to be slanders, but show
Mr. Buchanan to be guilty of the very 1
crime with which the latter had caused him ;
to be charged—knowing, we say, all these I
tilings, Mr. Buchanan pertinaciously voted j
to deny to the illustrious Kcntuckian the i
privilege of an investigation, a privilege ;
that even the humblest might, under the :
circumstances, bare justly demanded. He
knew that, upon any full Congressional in
vestigation, the accusation he had caused to
be made against Mr. Clay, would of neces
sity le exploded, and that Mr. Clay if he
should think fit, might fix upon him, before
the eyes of the whole world, the guilt of an
attempt at bargain and corruption. And
after all this, after having done all in his '
power to deny to Mr. Clay the right to es- j
t a Wish his innocence, and after having ly- •
iogly expressed in the Washington Tele- >
graph, under his own natue, his conviction j
of Mr. Clay's guilt, ho had the ineffable j
and altuost inconceivable uiean-spiriteduess,}
effrontery, and baseness, to beg, entreat,
and humbly implore Mr. Clay to graciously
abstain, out of pity to Aim, froiu disproving
j tlie imputation by the means at his eoiu
| maud, inasmuch as the use of those means
! would inculpate him.
Mr. Buchanan may be supposed to Lave
said in substance to Mr. Clay: 'I did come j
| to you in Mr. Letcher's room and propose
j to you that if you would vote for General i
! Jackson you should be Lis .Secretary of
j State; 1 dkl Ly my conversation with Gen
's oral Jackson, cause him to charge you with
l bargain and corruption and name me as his
. witness, though I personally knew that you
; were innocent- I did falsely say in my let-
I tcr to the Telegraph that I believed you
! guilty, and 1 have stoutly resisted all your
| endeavors to obtain an opportunity in the
| House of refilling the charges that I have
j caused to be brought against you before
i the people of the nation: but 1 ask you, oh
' I ask you to remain quiet under the charge,
| fur if vou were to be so cruel as to relieve
| yourself by revealing and establishing the
j tact of my proposal to you. I should be ru
| ined with my party and the country forever.
I I have no claim upon you on the score of
justice—my whole appcai is to your mercy #
We do not profess to have given here the
exact words of Mr. Buchanan, but it tie or
! his political friends deny that we have given
| the substance of his appeal, let him or them
; make a call for that letter of bis, of which
i Mr. Clay so often said that he would never
publish it unless with Mr. Buchanan >
consent, or ut the call of the Senate of the
United States.
And Mr. Clay, with ill-Judged clemency,
with misdirected generosity, spaced the mis
erahle .and guilty suppliant, and bore, tbo
riot with patience, his deep and deadly
wrongs for nearly a quarter of a century,
and until every hope of the Presidency had
died out in his mighty heart. And now, it
the ncople of the 1. uited Estates, with the
facts laid before them by the almost dying
hand of Ileury Clay, were to elevate Mr.
Buchanan to the office which they so often
denied to the illustrious victim of bis ca
lumnies, the Aiame of the foul deed would
rest upon the American name forever.
TFThe Memphis Eagle and Enquirer
Si ,vs:—While the Sag-Xidhr Democrats were
tiring their hundred guns or so, yesterday
afternoon, to get up a iittlc artilieial enthu
siasm for Buchanan, a horny-handed true-,

was heard to say:
"Ah! they may fire as many guns as

CHURCH BUILDING IN IRELAND
WHENCE THE FI NDS
The Chapels now in course of erection ev
erywhere, not only in the metropolis and
large provincial towns, but even in villages
and country districts, amaze men by their
size and magnificence. And the question
that instinctively arises is. Whence come
the funds? * I believe the true answer is: the
penoy-a-week system. Arrangements are
made for collecting this sum from every
one, and the building goes on, often for
as the funds conic in. W heu
then the decorations.
Then, there are "indulgences" obtained \
froui the Dope, for special contributors: and
periodical "masses," the benefits of which
can be transferred, either to others living,
or the souls in purgatory. And legacies are
a great source of contribution, especially to
the priest's bouses, or to special comforts
and adornments. But, iu regard to eon- J
vents, and similar establishments, I doubt
not, a main source of the funds, so immense
as shown by their buildings, is unfolded in
the following:—
A llicu ENGLISH Nix The departure
of the Queen has, likewise, uot been the
ouly one which has attracted our attention
during the week. Ou Tuesday last, set
forth for Algeria's weeping, gentle nun front
the Convent of the Assumption, in the
Avenue Hte. Maria. The young lady '.s
a convert, the daughter of one of the no
, blest anil most powerful northern English
families. It has been lately discovered that
die had made over by donation every far
; thing where she had taken refuge, and her
| family in wrath had hurried to l'aris to
| contest the proceeding. Already was the
gentle pieneteut bending once more to
wards the tics of bioou and kin, already
was shp consenting to withdraw the meas
ure which would deprive her relations of
any share in her iuhcvitalize, when on Tues
day night a carriage was drawn up to the
gate where she had taken au affectionate
leave of her sisters a few hours before, and
the feair nun. muffled and veiled, was hur
ried into if, and driven to the Lyons Rail
way, on her road to embark for Algiers
where the Blessed Ladies are in possession
|of a branch establishment, which is doing
i well and prospering greatly. Of course the
| family is furious, and threatens exposure;
i but the reverend lady at the head of the
community declares that it was the dear
child's own wish to be conveyed beyond the
reach of temptation, and that of course she
had no right to oppose this most holy and
reasonable desire.— Pari* Correspondent

A FURTHER tI.I.USTR ATtOX.
.Since the prevailing account of "Our Im
maculate Lady of Refuge" chapel of Ratli
utines was written, a powerful appeal l.a
appeared in the Freeman from Monsignor
.Meagher, caliiug upon the Roman Catholic
population to realize the Legate Cul'.en s
suggestion, and before the great eighth of
December comes, make the temple worthy
of its patroness. As an inducement, they
are reminded that the ciiareb of our "Im
maculate Lady of refuge" ut lUtluuines, is
the central point in Ireland of the Arcli
coufraternrty of the Immaculate Ilcart of

"On every morning in the year the holy

mass is celebrated for those who contribut

MR. FILLMORE ON TOE REPEAL OF TUK
MISSOURI COMPROMlSE.— "Territorial gov
ernments hrol been provided for all the
Territory except that covered by the Mis.
souri Compromise, and I bad no suspecion
that that was to be disturbed. 1 have no
hesitation in saying, what most of you know
already, that I was decidedly opposed to the
disturbance of that Compromise. Good faith
as well as the peace of the country, -eeuied to
ine to require that a Compromise, which had
stood for more than thirty years, should not
be wantonly disturbed. These were uiy
sentiments then lully and fearlessly ex
pressed, verbally aud in writing, to al my
triend* North and South, who solicited my
opinion."

that when Mr Fillmore was nominated, "i

GEN. JAOKSOX ON MR, BUt'UANA'N:
We find in the Washington correspouueno
of the New York Evening Post au anec
dote, which proves that Gen Jackson, who
was a pretty good judge of human uature,
tally understood appreciated Mr.Buchanan's
character as a political trimmer. The writer
says the following cau be proved by unques
tionable evidence:
"On the night before leaving Nashville to
occupy the White House, Mr. Polk, in coro
pauy with Gen. Robert Armstrong, called
at tLe Hermitage to procure some advice
from the old hero as to the selection of his
cabinet. Jackson strongly urged the Pres
ident elect to give uo place in it to Buchan
an, as he could not be relied upon. It so
happened that Polk had already determin
ed to make that veiy appointment, having
probably offered the situation to the states
man of Pennsylvania."
"This fact induced General Armstrong
to tell Jackson that he bad given Polka
pretty hard rub, as Buchanan had already
beeu selected for Secretary <sf State. "I
cant help it," said the old man; "I felt it
iiiv duly to warn hitn against Mr. Buchanan
whether it was agreeable or not. Mr. Polk
will find Buchanan an unreliable roan. I
know him well and Mr. Polk will vet admit
the correctness of my prediction."
It was the last visit ever made by Mr
Polk to the old hero when this unavailing
remonstrance was deliveied, but the new
President long before the en lofkis admin
istration, had reason to acknowledge its pro
priety and justice; aud in the dairy kept by
him during that period, may still be read
a most emphatic declaration of his distrust
of Mr. Buchanan.
Whig lifters of the South rery
