Poik and Dallas were elected but tbo tariff of '42 was repealed. In 1850 Pennsylvania was rallied into line under tbe battle cry of "Buchanan, Breckenridge and free Kansas." And in a year after the elec| tion Buchanan announces in bis message and is a tone of ^Kansas is as much a slave State to-day as gratification and triumph,! South Carolina or Gesrgia." We see already indications that the Dem Mrucy, distrusting another such bold at tttnpt to bumbng Pennsylvania, are prepar ing to buy her, and will attempt to do so by a "high protective tariff" on iron- Let our readers bear this in min4 and not® tbe progress of events. Three Facts* Buchanan's Administration tm# spent more »oney than any previous one during the same length of time. And, worse thnn that, it •pends double the income of tbe Government from all sources and runs the country in debt at the rate of iM^WK^OoO a year. But more and worse still, instead of proposing meas ures of retrenchment, in view of these facts, Hie Administration is on the contrary propo fwsing measures of an opposite character and increasing the annual appropriations.

There is on amusing episode in Jefferson's public career, which is related by Mr. Kan dull in a quiet vein of subdued humor. Thos. oore visited the United States in 1803, at the age of 24,just after he had ao qaired dubious notoriety by the publication of Little's Ho was presented to Mr. Jefferson bv Merrv, the British Minister. it seems that that Mr. Jefferson, not aware i of the identv of the rioetieal young gentle man—probably not nnving neard of, and certainly not having read hi8 amorous lucu bration—eimply spoke to the lilliputian anu every tnine American, except a tontive federal ladies and gentlemen."— TheAe ho published on his return to Englaud, and that what he wrote in verse was hi* full conviction, is evident from his private letters to his mother from America, which Lord Husaell with his u«unl want of judgment, h»8 published with Moore's Diaries. When some of Jeffoi son's intimate friends saw the verses in which Moore had not onlv ly unconscious of calamity Barwell pointed out the obnoxious pass ages. The victim glanced through them, looking at one angry interlocutor, aud then the other. It was amazing enough to see Burwell so exaperated but the calm, gentle Martha's passion gust was irresistible. Mr. Jefferson Lroke into a clear, hearty laugh.— There woe more than argument, there was conviction in that laugh. Thp indignant pair retreated a little crest-fallen, but as soon as the library door closed, joined heartily iu the merriment.
