Hr. Buchanan's Policy.
Soma of our friends ..t Richmond and in oilier I

; V- , SqUV ■ ■ r. r. ty, ii‘2 1 Le spc
of Scuacor Biglei, iu which, by what we concieve
to be a forced and unnatural construction of his
language, he is represented as advocating hereti
cal principles: anil a recent article in the- Penn
sylvanian eulogistic ofCol. Benton, are made the
subject of an elaborate criticism in the Enquirer
of Tuesday last: and fears are entertained by the
editors that Mr. Buchanan endorses these views
of >. nator Bigler and the Pennsylvanian.
Now, without assuming to speak for Mr. Buch-
armti, or to promulge his views on the topics tn at-
cd of in the Enquirer, we nevertheless venture to
assert that Governor Bigler, and nobody else, is
himself responsible for what be said on the door
,-: ;le .Senate—and farther, tliat neiiiier the /'tan- I
sylraninn, nor any other newspaper, speaks by
authority of the President elect. Mr. Buchanan
is noiv what he has been for the last thirty years or
more, a thorough-going .State Eights Constitution
al Democratic statement of the Jefferson and Jack-
son school, and in his administration of the Gov
ernment will be actuated, we hav<? not a doubt,
by a determination to do equal and exact justice
to every portion of the Union. His course of
policy w ill know no North, no South, no East, no
West. The Constitution will be his compass and
his chart. By It, and it alone, will lie seek to
guide the ship of State; and of his skill as a pilot
at the helm, aud the lofty patriotism which lie will
V, actuated, no one who is personally acquainted
with the man, can have a solitary doubt. The
J.nqnirer may, therefore, w ell reiterate its expres
sion of "implicit confidence in the President elect.”
This confidence, we venture to anticipate and pre-
. t. will not be shaken during the next Presiden
tial term, by any act of his. His course ■>( policy,
w< doubt not; w ill be alike satisfactory to Ins
; i< nds and the lovers of the Union in Virginia
ami Pennsylvania—in Georgia and Indiana. But
that policy has not yet been adumbrati d, except
in 1 i - indorsement of the Cincinnati platform and
i.. bis letter accepting the nomination.
We, therefore, respectfully advise our Southern
Democratic friends to keep cool. The President
eu ct elect Las always stood by their Constitution
al rights when assailed by Abolitionism of every
line and grade; and, we firmly believe; he will
stand by them to the end. He is, th< refore, en
titled to their generous confidence, even in ad-
v.mceof his inauguration as the Chief Magistrate
of the Republic. Let them not permit the opin
ions of A, B or C, who, w e again aver, speak on
their own ^responsibility, to weaken tlieir faitli
iu the. integrity of the President elect. If
Providence spares his life until the Eouith of
Murcli next, lie will then take oath of office and
enunciate the principles and policy which lie in
tends carrying out in his Administration, and
when he does that we have every reason to be
lieve the Enquirer will be abundantly satisfied.
.•'ll far as Senator Bigler is concerned, we know
him to be a true-hearted, conservative. I’nion-
lo-. ing Democrat, who will stand by the Constitu
tion and the rights of the States in every emergen
ce. He is a well-tried and faithful Democratic
statesman, and we have no fear that he will prove
recreant, in wold or deed, to the great principles
which have always been bis guiding star, and
which are so dear to every Democrat throughout
the broad expanse of our glorious Union.

Rtvcrtly Johnson on (he Revival of the Slave-
Trade.
Considering the honorable reputation of Mr.
Kevt rdy Johnson as & statesman, as well as the
eminence he has long held in the ranks of his
pro: ssion, we cannot deny ourselves the satisfac
tion of placing {before our readers the subjoined
letter from that gentleman, which we find in the
papers of the day, expressing as it does sentiments
entirely accordant w ith our own upon the proposi
tion, lately made from a high quarter, to revive
tie- foreign slave, trade. This letter was, as the
leader will perceive addressed to a committee of
p'litlemen at Boston, and was read at a meeting
i. n-ntly held in Faneuil Hall in that city.—Nat.
Intelligencer.
Baltimotf., December 1, 1856.
To Messrs. Greene others, Committee :
G'-utlemcn: Nothing but imperative engage-
in. nts, admitting of no postponement, could pre-
ventiny being at tlio banquet and jubilee to be
ln-hl in Faneuil Hall on the 3d, to which you h
! .nored me with an invitation. The election? of
M- srs. Buchanan and ‘Breckinridge is indeed i
national triumph, and 1 should delight to see it:
eel,1,ration within the walls so hallowed by ser
vices dope to the cause of American independence
and our present form of constitutional govern
ment.
While the history of man furnishes no such
; olitical organization, its wonderful adaptation to
every want known to our people is evidenced in
a constant and unparalleltu progress to a state’of
individual and social prosperity and power never
before witnessed. It is not, therefore, to be won-
dered that we should on every occasion when our
institutions seem to be in peril tfy to their support,
and forget for a time all mere subordinate con-dd-
i . l ions Whether, for instance, slavery is to be
i xter.Jed to Territories where it is not now found,
or new States are to be admitted only upon the
rendition tliat their constitutions authorize or pro
hibit it, except so far as these questions involve
Stab or individual rights, arc as nothing compar
ed with the untold and unimaged calamities with
v lii' h the destruction of our Union must certain
ly be followed—calamities the desolatiug effects of
which would be felt in every part of the country.
But, w liilst these are matters of little or no conse
quence, with the exception referred to. I trust no
man in tb<* States now without slavery will, for
moment, believe that any serious purpose exists,
er ran ever exist in the public mind ofthe South,
to revive the foreign slave trade. I think I am
right iu saying that against such a measure the
public voice in that section will be as decided and
unanimous as in any other part of the country.
Such a step would, and in my opinion should,
. :<» k the sense of the civilized world. After we
1 \c made it piracy, and again and again publish
• lit as such, to legalize and engage in it ourselves
would justly subject us to the condemnation of
(iirisbiidom.
Slavery, as it exists with us, is a quite a differ-
• at matter For its origin we are not responsi-
b e. and its continuance, besides being under the
1 • tion 0 f - t be constitution, is absolutely ne-
■ s-ary to our own general peace and welfare.
To M;t at large more than three millions of slaves,
•-iitit for solf-government, and by nature iucapa-
i .f being amalgamated with the dominant race,
.1 to have them remain where they are, all w ill
• .nut to l>e equally impossible. What, then, could
June with them ? Would the other State's re-
■ ire them 1 Would the laboring men there agree
t such a competition with their own labor? These
tiuiis admit of but one reply, and that shows
" idle it is to look forward to such a day as
. ssible, as Iong as the present condition of the
• untry remains.
1' our system of slavery be wrong, if it con-
- with morality and religion in the abstract
:i the particular, the united influence of Chris-
uity will in God’s own time bring it to an cud.

ever before recorded iu a single year since the for

sed of men who go for preserving the Union by
maintaining firmly the Constitutional rights of the
South. Wc confidently anticipate that he will do
this. For it is so easy, so reasonable, and so just
that he can hardly fail to Jo it. These suggestions
are prompted by no uneasiness on our part, but we
confess to a painful solicitude for Mr. Buchanan to
avoid such a mistake. The deep dissatisfaction
and distrust which it would engender, would par-
alize liis administration and render it impotent
for good. We would not say a word to revive
divisions in the Southern Democracy which have
been healed, we trust by the settlement of the
issues which created them. It is to prevent this,
that we thus speak. For to discard cither branch
of the Southern Democracy with the intention to
draw an invidious distinction, would forfeit to Mr.
Buchanan its cordial support. Nor would we
meddle in the task of Cabinet making. It is im
proper and indelicate. It is Mr. Buchanan's right,
as it is liis duty to select his Constitutional advi

thy men he could select arc, perhaps, those w ho,
either personally or by their friends, trouble him
the least for favors.

be distinctly understood, not as indulging in dis

We invite the attention of all those wli u are
fond of reading substantial literary produc
tion to L. Scott & Co's advertisement, American
publishes of the five leading British periodicals.
These Reviews and Blackwoods Magazine con
tain the cream of British literature, and are sold
here for less than one third of their price in Great
Britain. The beginning of the year is a good time
to subscribe and by referring to the advertisement
it will be seen that the postage, when sent by
mail to every part of the United States, for Black
woods is twenty-four cents, and but fourteen cents
a year for each of the Reviews. Remittances for
any of the above publications should be addressed
to Leonard Scott & Co., No. 51, Gold Street, New

The total shipments of breadstuffs and provis
ions are ncany twelve millions of dollars larger
than for any previous year; the exports of cotton
also show a large increase both in quantity aud
value. The average price of the cotton shipments
is nearly three quarters of a cent above the value
for the proceeding year, but about the same as in
1854. The number of bales of cotton shipped
was 2,991,175 against 2,303,403 bales for the pro
ceeding year. This shows an average weight du
ring the last year of 451 pounds per bale, while du
ring the proceeding year the average was only 437
pounds; a very important difference upon nearly
three millions of bales!
The following will show the exports of rice from
the United States to foreign ports, with the average

Up to the year 1854, the exports of rice were all
reckoned into tierces, being chiefly shipped in that
measure. During the last two years more has
been scut out in barrels, but the value is given
only in the aggregate. Of the barrels shipped the
last year, 12,311 were sent to Denmar k, 18,130 to

A Nrtv Columbus .Tlorcuienf.
Our Columbus friends, like the Gauls in the
days of Julius Caesar are fond of new things
Every spring and fall we look for a new political
movement at Columbus, which is intended to shake
this vast Republic from center to circumference,
but which ia reality only shakes the sides of a
few people who enjoy a good laugh. Last year
a few restless spirits about Columbus made what
they called a great Southern Movement, and pro
posed that all parties at the South should dissolve
all political association with any party at the
North. And in addition to this they insisted that
the Democratic and American parties should both
disband and fall into line, and follow in the wake
of the Columbus movement.
Had the South followed this advice Ere
mont would have been elected President and we
should now be reaping the bitter fruits of our fol
ly. Within a few days we learn a new movement
has been gotten up at Columbus called the Free
Trade Association, which is intended to revolu
tionize the whole commercidl and financial policy
of the U. States. The plan is, to abolish all duties
on imported goods,to shut up our custom liouses.and
to raise all the money wanted to carry on the affair
of Government by a direct tax upon the people. Our
readers will find in our columns this week, the
proceedings of the meeting in Columbus which is
intended to put this new ball in motion. We hav
also copied a well timed and appropriate article
upon this new movement from the Columbus
Times, and commend it to the attention of our
readers. The Times shows that in the apportion
ment of the direct taxes tffe South would be a
great looser, as the taxes would bo apportioned to
each State according to their Federal representa
tion, in which 5 negroes are counted as 3 white
men. In fact by this famous plan of direct taxa
tion, negroes would be counted as persons in di
viding out the tax among the States, and then
considered as property in the assessment. This
would be a species of distinction which we opine
the South would not covet. In addition to this
we would remark that to carry out such a plan of
raising money by direct taxation, each State would
be filled with swarms of Federal officers in the
shape of excise men, assessors and collectors of
taxes, all in the pay and under the influence of the

illr. Uitchitnitu’ft Policy.
We copy with approbation an article from the
Lancaster Intelligencer on the policy of Mr. Buch
anan. We are especially .'pleased with its spirit.
We 60 not consider ourselves addressed by the
advice of our contemporary to “Southern Demo*
cratic friends to keep cool,” as we have never
manifested any other temper. We intend, how
ever, “to keep cool.” But we must hint at one
suggestive point. The article asserts truly, as we
think, that “Mr. Buchanan is now, what he has
been for thirty years or more, a thorough-going
Stales-righis constitutional democratic statesman
of the Jefferson and Jackson school, and in his
administration ofthe government will be actuated,
we have not a doubt, by a determination to do
equal and exact justice to every portion of the
Union.” Now in one sense, he may do “exact
justice to every portion of the Union,” and yet
it is confidently predicted by the opposition, aud
seriously apprehended by a portion of the South
ern Democratic press, that there is a class of pol
iticians in the South who arc to be discarded from
the confidence and counsels of the administration. I

Mr. W 'ashhurne “ Treed.”—In the
course of Mr. Washburne’s speech up*n
the President’s message, he was interrogat
ed by Mr. Smith, ofVirginia, to know if a
new State should apply for admission into
the Union with a Constitution asking the
it to form her own institutions, if
she would have his vote
Mr. Washburne.—“When that question
comes up, I shall meet it, and vote as cir
cumstances guide me.”
To this simple question Mr. W. had no
irect reply to make. A great “Republi
;ui” party lias been formed upon this plain,
pracical issue; a great “Republican” C011-
entiou has been held to answer the ques
tion; a great “Repblican” platform
as been put forth to proclaim the princi
ples ofthe party upon the subject; a great
battle has been fought in behalf, as was
supposed, of those principles—and now,
after all this, lion. Isreal Washburne, of
Maine, a ehampanion of this party, on the
flo.a* of Congress, announces to his constitu
ents and the country, “when the ques
tion comes up, I shall vote as cireum-

private property ol the the subjec s aud citizens of
the contracting parties, shall, in times of war, be
respected by tneir respective naval forces, as well
as by those of the powers which may join in tills
declaration.” >
The Emperor of Russia in the abi^e wording,
accepts more than Mr. Marcy's proposition cover
ed; and, perhaps, intended it as a delicate hint of
an important oversight in Mr. Marcy’s amendment
to the propositions of the/‘Paris Congress,” iu not
adding, that all blockades of seaports should be
abolished, so far as concerned private property on
ship-board iu port, aud tlieir free and uninterrupted
access to the ocean.
Mr. Marcy’s amendment simply proposes tliat
property, other than contraband of war, shall be
also free from capture by enemies’ nation vessels,
as well as by private armed ships, on the high
seas, reserving to the enemy the right of block
ade, by effective force, to prevent the proper
ty of subjects and citizens from reaching the high
seas.
Now what would be the effect of this measure in
the event of a war between the United States and
France or England, or against both these powers
united? There is no dispute of the fact that the
combined naval forces of these two nations is
numercially greater, and more powerful, than ever
before existed any two nations on the globe. It is
also an undisputed fact that tin- naval power of
England aloue, is of sufficient magnitude to
blockade effectually the principal seaports of our
coast, and leave a large surplus of their naval
force to pursue the main purposes which led to the
war, leaving tlieir own commerce to roam over the
world unmolested; and if this could bo accomplish
ed by one nation only, liow much greater the
effect in the event of France -and England com
bining to control the balance of power in North
America! If onr Government is unwise enough to
enter into any negotiation with European powers,
on this question, let it. at least, he insisted on, in
addition to Mr. Marcy's proposed amendment, that
the blockade of sea ports shall not prevent the free
and uninterrupted ingress and egress, of private
ships with their cargoes.
That England and France will agree to the pro
position of Mr. Marcy, there can be no doubt; and
ail the other powers represented in the Baris Con
gress, will of course adopt it, the original proposi
tion having emanated from these two powers for
special purposes, which will. appear hereafter.
They apprehended the United States Government
would see through the veil which they at
tempted to throw over the question by the
convenient and hypocritical plea in behalf of hu
manity.
The conditional acceptance of the Paris Con
gress proposition has been a perfect. God-send to
England and France. The freedom of commerce
on the high seas from restraints from national ves
sels of war, will not be objected to so long as the
right of blockade is submitted to by us; for, with
their ample forces, they can keep our com
merce penned up in our sea ports, aud prevent our
little Navy from blockading their own ports, and
glue entire freedom to their own commerce over
the world.
How much more wise would it be for our gov
ernment to decline all overtures of the kind. The
very sudden desire on the part of the Paris Con
gress to humanize the horrors of war by abolish
ing the system of privateering, is mere hypocrisy.
NY hen did England O'- France ever regard any sys
tem of warfare with horror, when they had their
own private ends to serve? When I speak of
the “Paris Congress” on- this subject, I mean
simply England and France: for it is well under
stood that those two nations were the origina
tors of the proposition, for ulterior objects of their
own.
The war with Russia has ceased, and the time
has arrived when, according to the speech of Lord
Clarendon on the opening of that war, the balance
of power must be attended toon the North Ameri
can continent. Also, according to Lord John Rits
sell’s assertion, as Prime Minister ofEngland, on
the refusal of our government to join in the pro
posed alliance in regard to Cuba, that England
and France would thereafter adopt such measures
in regard to Cuba, as they might deem expedient
without regard to the wishes or interests of the
United States.
I trust our government will be wise enough and
shrewd enough to reject all proposed arrangements
in regard to privateering. Our people may rest
assured that 110 proposition of the kind would
ever have been made, but for reference to this
country alone. Let our government yield up this
arm of our defence, and war will take place with
this country in less than six months, and Cuba bi
taken possession of by these powers, as the point
d’appui for their meditated designs to control the
balance of power on tlus cont inent; and the hurail
iating spectacle will be presented to the world of
aggression on the continent, which we have not
the power to oppose, having but a miniature navy
to oppose the two largest navies the world ever
saw. I11 the mean time, the war may continue
forever; England and France having noth
ing to sutter iu their commerce, that being
by treaty stipulations permitted to roam unmolest

Lite towers are S(i by 32 feet at the base,
will be 230 feet high, and one thousand
and six feet apart. The cables will be
'anchored three hundred feet hack on each
side of the river, pass over the tops ofthe
towers, and thus be made to sustain the
weight of the bridge. The entiie span,
therefore, will be sixteen hundred and six
feet—a little short of one third of a mile.
The elevation of the floor at the middle,
above low water mark, will be one hun

flood of 1832—the highest on record—rose
sixty-two feet above low water; and mak

kindly termed "Fire-Eaters,” “Disuniunionists,’
“Secessionist ,” by. the opposition press of tin
South, and by the press generally at the North :
whilst the latter are characterized as “Constitution
al L nion-loving men.” Now we observe one fact,
that nearly all the Northern Democratic press, in
speaking of the pcrsonrl of Mr. Buchanan's Cab
inet say it is to he a Union Cabinet, composed of
Vnion-loring men. This is all right. With all
our heart wc say give us a Union Cabinet. But
are we to understand, by the use of such phrase
ology that all Southern Rights men are disloval
to the Union, and therefore to bo distrusted by
the incoming administration ? Are such terms
used in contradistinction to that large class of
men composing, at least, two thirds of the South
ern Democracy who are reproached as •‘Fire-Eat
ers,” because zealous defenders of the Constitu
tional rights of the South ? We hope not—and
onr hope rests upon the belief that Mr. Buchanan
is, iu truth, a thorough-going States Rights man.
Still in view of the uniformity of these terms, by
which the new Cabinet Ministers are described in
advance, we feel bound to suggest to our Lancas
ter contemporary, if in his power to quiet nil ap
prehension on this point. That it does exist to
some extent, there can be no doubt. It is a grand
mistake to suppose that all Southern {Rights men
aredisunionists. They are as true to the Union
as are to be found iu the land. There are extre
mists to be sure, a few who are Secessionists,
per se—but they have neither the sympathy nor
co-operation of the Southern Rights men. It will
not only be a great error in Mr. Buchanan, but
Verily this “Republican” party lias
fought wonderfully hard to establish this
great doctrine of “circumstances!” The
rights of freemen are to he allowed to
States seeking admission according to “cir
clin',stauees.” In the inquiry of Mr. Smith
the “circumstances” were stated, viz: a
State applying “with a constitution ask
ing the right to form her institutions.” As
to how these “circumstances” would guide
him, Mr. W, dodged a reply. This “cir
cumstance” his constituents will doubtless
note for tlieir future guidance.—South-Side

How Towns soring up in the West.—
Two years ago where the trees stood undis
turbed in their everlasting solitude at the
head of Lake Superior, there is now a town
called the City of Superior.’ containing
1200 inhabitants. Two years ago, the
land there was held by sqatters at Si,25
per acre. Now, the site of Superior, as
laid off into lots and blocks, sell at prices
that indicate a value of over S2,000,000
for the whole! Last summer, sqatters’
claims were made in sight of Superior.
Now, no vacant land can be found in ten
miles of Superior, aud lands in the vicinity
of Superior, command $50 to $100 per
acre, and will ere long bring $500 to $1000
per acer. It is one hundred and twenty
miles further West than St. Louis.— N. O.
