and she will stand by you in her defAinsa foiv

Mr. SfMsrn, who stood up in tho oarrh;e
during his Excellency's addrei' of wclcomo,
spoke in a very low tone, nnd evidently la
boring under phy.-ieil disildlity, as follows :

especially to the young men id' Ihi-tnn. nut
of whoee hearts, us from an exuberant fuiiii-
tain, this broad spreading hospitaliiy tak.s
its rise.
My earnest desire, often expresspr, 1ms hoen
that 1 might be allowed to return home qui
etly, without show or demnntr ition f any
kind. An 1 this longing has 1 e--n cnlnreod
by my physical condition, which though v.it
ly improved at this time, ami idvincing
surely towards comploto lioiilth, is slill is
posed to the peril of re I ipso, or at least to tho
urrest of those kindly processes nf uitnrc es
sential to the restorition of a shattered sys

reception makes mo lorg'-t my wckness
ruakts mo forgot my desire fur repjso,
More than lie months have pissed since 1
wns disabled Irom tho liorroritrince nl" my
puhlia duties. During this wiarv peiiol I
havo been constrained to repeat d-iily tho les
eon of renunciation confined at first to my
bod, and then only slowly regaining the power
even to walk, lteyond the constant, irrepres.
tihlo grief which inust well up in the breast
of every patriot as ho diseerns the present
condition of bis country, my chiersotrow has
been caused by the necessity to which I was
doomed, of renouncing all part in tho contot
for human rights, which, beginning in Con
gress, has since enveloped the whom l.md-
tho (Jrecian chief, grievously ill of the wound
from tho stealthy bitn of a" sn ike, and left
behind while bis enmpinion sailed on to the
tiego of Troy, did nut repine more at bis en
forced seclusion, l'roin day to day and week
to week 1 havo vainly sought that health
which wo valuo most only when lost, and
which now perpetually eluded my grasp. Tor
health I strove : lor health 1 prayed. With
uncertain steps I sought it at tho" sea Bhoro,
and 1 sought it on the muuntuiu-top.
Two voices are thero ; one i of the sea.
One of tho mount llr.s ; e ich almighty voi-o ;
In both from apo to ago tlo.u flid't r j-jico,
They were tby clmcn ramie, Lihoity.
I listened to the admonitions of medical skill
and 1 courtcil all tho br.veing inllueneos of
nature, wbilo Timo pissed without tho ac
customed healing of its wings. I hid confi
dently hoped to he restored so as to t iko mv
seat in tho Senate, and to ha heard ther
again long heforo tho session closed, lint
Congress adjourned, leaving mo still an inva
lid. My next bono was that I might bo per
mitted to appear beforo the people during tho I
present canvass, ana with he irt ami mind
plead tho great c.iusi width is now in issim.
But hero again I have been disapj ointed ;
and tho thread of my disihility has not yet
spun to tho end. Even now, though happily
lifted from my long prostration, and begin
ning to assume many or tho condition's of
health, I am constrained to confess that 1 am
still an invalid cheered, lion ever, by tho as
surance that I shall soon, with unimpiir' d
vigor, bo prmitted to resume all tho respon
sibilities of my position.
Too much hive 1 s lil about myself: but
you will pardon it to tho occasion, which,
bejng personal in its character, invites thesa
pers-mal confessions. With mora pleasuro,
I turn to other things,
I should feol that I faded in oni of thoso
duties which the heart promitsanl tho judg
ment confirms, if I allowed this firt oppor
tunity to piss, without tho sincerest acknow
ledgments to ray able, generous and faithful
colleague, Mr Wilson. Together wo labored
in mutual trust, honorably 1 aning uponoaoh
other. By ny disability he was left tho sole
representativo of Massachusetts on tho flxir
of the Senate, throughout months of heated
contest, involving her good naino and her
most cnerislied sentiments. All who watched
tho currents of tho debate, even ns imperfect
ly as 1 did in my distant retirement, know
with what readiness urK0 jV,er ,0
acted showing himself, by his wtraordin iry
energies, equal to the uti.mrdiioiry occasion.
But it belongs to inn particularly to recognizo
his unfailing sympathies for mimilf, and his
manly assumption of all the I i s (.n ubilities
of tho hour.
I am not hero to indulge in eulogy, nor to
open any merit rull of serueo ; but the h.hiio
feeling which prompts thesa ackn.iwledg.

of human life as one ol tho most illustrious

ing : "lu thu midst of the conllict, the

Tho Now Orleans Delia, ono of tho most
rabid disunionist Bticlmiian journals in tlio
country, takes Buchanan's election for
granted, and claims till tho credit for tho
South, It closes its article as follows :
Mr. Buchanan, if elected will nvve bis suc
cess entirely to tho reaction in tho Northern
mind, eaiii"l by tho determined attitudo of
tlio Southern party. Wo may bo called c.t
tremi"ts. or fire-eaters, or what not it does
not matter. Whilo we cannnt bo driven into
tho abandonment or principle tn servo party
success, we nro readv to maintain tho rights
and institutions of tho South, even to dis
union. This eotivietion wo have fostered in
the Southern mind. It is it pity it was not
fostered thero twenty years since, It wnuld
luvo saved tn the partii s a deal nT trouble.
Bui the Smthern pirty has something elsn
tu do now. Hiving checked for a time tho
bliek republican crusade, we must push for
ward those reforms at home which arc neces
siry for tho assertion and maintenance ofour
equality in tho Union, or of our nationality
and Independence out of it.
Remember that Nicaragua and Cuba are
vastly moro important to us th in Kansis lor
litory, though wo should not renounce the
1 liter. Mexico is not far ofT. The genius nf
eonim Tcial empire beckons to us from Te
huantepec, But Nicaragua Is tho great po
litical nucleus, and while tho " national"
men of the South are busy over the spoils of
the victory won through the courage and
boldness nf tho Southern pirty, let us put
forth all our strength in Nicaragua.
Wo have only four vcars tn prepare for tho
great contest of lSl'l). fiivo iVulkcr tho
power, and ho will solve not only tho Central
American question, but with it that of Cuba.
Onee firmly established in Nicaragua, ho will
restore the West Indies to their origin il con
dition, as slave colonies. It can bo demon
strated that tho comparative decline of New
Orleans commenced with tho abolition pol-
icy of England in the American tropics. It
only lequires the defeat or Walker in Niei
ragua and tho Africanization of Cuba to luiko
the declino moro than comparative, perhaps
irretrievable. It nnly requires, on tho other
hand, tho re-organization of Central Amer
icans a slavo producing country, with tho
redemption of tlio West indies from a negro
barbarism, to make New Orleans thoccntro of
a vast tropical ompiro, and to realize, in con-
nection with the I'acilic trado. the advantages
to which sho is geographically entitled.
This is a work for tho Southern inrty. Wo
have shown our power in nitional politics,
let ns give it practical directions at homo.
In tlio loregoing we navo brieliy revieweel
the causes which led to the reaction in the
North, and sketched tlio assumption that
Buchanan's election was a certainty. But
what will bo tho signification of his election,
with regard to all tho important questions of
tbodiy, wc shall be compelled to leave to
the solution of time. So far as it may con
vey n reouke to the fanatical spirit ol the
North ; sn far as It may bo an effectual pro
test against tlio open attempt ot one section
to subject another to the tyranny of a hostile
maj ; so far as it may show that tho resistance
policy nn tho part of tho South is really tho
only policy that can sivo tho Union and our
rigiits and our honor, at the samo time,
thus far, at least, it will ho a triumph for
the South ami a valuabV lessjn to politicians,
of both sections. It will prnio that North
ern interest is sup'rior to Southern fanati
cism, and that si ivery, through the subiect nf
sectional tigiUtinn, is really the strongest
conservttivo national element in the Union.
What tho northern wing of tho democratic
Congress may do with tho slavery question
vvnsimii u ivo. ti, le.ivo lo lulliro ,ieven,,i.o.ent
Wo Icar however, it is deeply imbued with
the non-extension theory ; to which so many
democratic leaders, North and South, have
given their sanction. It was no good omen
to see the vounger van Buren and John C.
Breckinridge miking speeches from tho same
ptitfnrni and in the same ciuso.and tho elder
Van Buren and Mr. Buehanin embracing up
on tlio same construction ol tlio ;seoruKc
bill
These omens have not bncn improved by the
profuse declarations made by democratic
speakers and journals of the North, that the
Id ick republicans uttered "infamous lies"
in ch irging Mr. Buchanan with being in fa
vor of si ivery extension. Why so earnest in
this denial if tho Northern democracy desires
to preserve tho political equality of tho South,
to wdiich the extension of slavery is cssenti ill
But after all, w b ivo tho Ostend liiinifestn,
to which Mr. Buchanan is pledged. Thero is
sound enough Southern eloctrino in tint, and
if Mr. Buehanin shall live up to it, well and
good ; wo will bo the first to thro.v the mantle
of forgiveness over all his past political sins
ol omis-ion or commission. Meantime, as we
havo often slid before, though not unexcep
tionable, ho is our choice fur President; but
in supporting him we have chosen to do so
with our eyes open, and havo desired that the
Southern people should havo their eyes open
also. If they vote with them shut, it will bo
no fault of ours ; if deceived in any particu
lar, they cannot 6hako their heads ami say wo
did it.
The future is yet a problem. Assuming
-Mr. Buchanan's election to bo a certainty,
the horizon is still misty. But ol this we
feel sure: tho Northern reaction against 1'ro.

Delta and other so called extremists and dis
unionists of the South, have been tho true

inquiry has provoked tho following rather
snappish reply from the Carolina Times :
" We aro impressed that tho Governors of

" It is mcot nnd rroner that tho miserable.

Wo believe it has always been conceded,

what effect the Boston whig orators havo ad

judged from tho following figures, showing
tho whig voto of Boston, for four years :
In 1853, Gov. Wushburn's voto in Ilaston
was 7730
In 1854, it was 4100
In 1855, Mr. Walloy'e 2551

Wo understand Mr. Forest's grievanco to
be, not that his ticket was placed in such
closo juxta-poBition witli the other scattering
ticket, in our hasty paragraph, hut that it
was distinguished by tho namo of tho first
elector upon it, while tho other was dig
nified by tho namo of its presidential candi
date We used tho names applied by tho
crowd which furnishod tho matter for our
item, and really that seems to boall wo need
say on tho matter. But if nico distinctions
nro to bo insisted on, wo own that in fair
ness, when speaking of the two tickets to
gether, Mr. Forest's ticket should hayo been
called tho Smith ticket, if the other was cats
led the Fillmoro ticket, or eHo tho other
should havo been tho Wheeler ticket if his
was tho Sankeo ticket.
That would havo precluded Mr. Forest's
objections, unless ho wishes it to be inferred
that the connection of tho leading elector's
name with tlio tickot was necessarily a
'slur" upon it. If so then Mr. Forest has
only to blame himself for the way in which
he made up his ticket. 'Wo hayo not under
taken to decide on tho respeotablity of Mr.
Sankce's name, our principal knowedgo of
which comes from the fact that we have
recently had to print it in connection with
violations of our prohibitory law ; neither
have wo called in question hie fitness for tho
ofSco ho was nominated for ; neither havo wo
drawn distinctions of color between him
and other men. Mr. Forest is tho only
I om, w10 iial drawn any such in this case.
Neither do wo exactly agree with Mr. Forest
in his statement of what constitutes tho
whole duty of an Editor. It will bo after
this when we publish a paper which bears no
impress ofour own opinions,
Wo are sorry if in any of our attempts to
be jolly under our political reverses, wo havo
injured tho feelings of Mr. Forest, who is a
worthy man and good citizen, and wo bog to
disclaim all intention of so doing.

SENATE.
,'e;ort. By Mr Benton, in favor of bill
enlarging tho cipitnl stock of the People's
Bink located nt Derby Line. The bill
pis.i;d in concurrence.
To ascertain the amount of personal prop
erty in the State that is exempt from taxa
tion by reason of debts owing, was taken up.
Supported by Mesrs, B-nton, Johnson,
L'nderwool, Caboon nnd Blake.
Opposed by Messrs. Hoycc, llotcliki-s,
Pierpoint and Beynolds.
It was held by "tbo supporters of the bill,
that immense frauds wero cominitte'd in ex
cmpting property from taxition. and that one
of the objects ot the bill was to obtain sta.
tistics, with a view to further legislation
upon tho subject of exempting property from
taxation. Again, it was desirable occisions
ally, to take an inventory ofour property.
This was as necessary with States as with
individuals.
On tho other hand, it was objected that
nothing like an nccnr.ito showing would bo
obtained ; that we should bo no nearer the
truth uf tho frauds practiced than before. It
was of no use to tako an inventory of a part
of a man's property, and stop thero. It was
imposing upon the listers a large amount of
labor, and would cost tho Stato vastly more
than it would ever bo of use.
On the question of tlio third reading.
Tho ayes and nays wcro demanded by Mr.
Jones, and were as follows :
