James Buchanan, tho political Alomes of (ko ' Naw Party,” the author of the * Indinus Fi~ nanoial Plan,” and altogethor & man of marlk, wolgtilug well nigh 809 pounds,” and with an ability and sbirewduoss that cowpol respect, howerer much his thoorios may bo ridiculed and abused. R, RUCHANAX AND m18 ‘‘rrax.’ Alr, Buchanan is o lawyer of ' this cily, objoy- Jvg & comfoitable practico nnd a fuir roputation. Throuph somo infatuation or other, he moanted a financial hobby early after tho pavicof Scptom- ber, 1873, which ho hns sinco ridden 8o porsist- ontly ag'to impress himsol? with tho idea’ that Lo hag a lfo-mission to propagato his viows among the peoplo of this sin-cursed world,—~begivning 8t Jerusalem, or Washington rathor, as tho po- Litionl contro of tho Unitod states.” Mr. Buchan- nu's plan, in brief, is, to make {ha national oredit tho sola basls for the currency; to have the Government f{ssue greonbacks dircot; nob “promlgcs fo pay,” but real, logal-tender dollars, coined out of 'paper; sud, flnally, to have sub-troasuries, or depositories, in all the lorgo citica of the country, where bonds could bo exchangod for ourronoy, and then reconverted nt the plensure of the holder. Alr. Buchaban's ‘‘plan " was introduced fnto tho lnat Congress Ly tho Ion. Godlove B. Osth, who, at one time, was o frightfully-onthusinstio friend of tho measure, but Ly became so lukewsrm before tho sossion onded that be allowed tho binl to die tho death witbout lifting o finger to savo it, And that bill comprised 416 pagos of legal cap, and cngaged two export penmen moro than o fortnight to copy from the origival text with its marginal veferences, : Mr. Buchanan anawered my question aa to how politica appeared to bim, by tho oracular ntter~ auce, that **No Domocratic United States Son- ator could bo clocted from Indisna unless the Tepublicans did it." This was rather startling, 6nd I followed up tho trail. 3Ir. Buchauan ig tho editor of the Sun, **a weekly newspaper which ehioes for all,” sccording to ita legondary hoad-lino ; but, in reality; its boams are restrict- ed almost oxclusively to Grangoers ; and it is bo- causo of ita offulgonce that My, Buchanen is tho head and front of the Indopondent or Farmors' party. Tho farmers neoded an orgen, The Stn waa purchneed by Mr. Buchanan, who fur- nighes both brains and money, impelled thoroto, it was hinted ‘st the time, by su ambition to booomo United Btatos Sevator through the *balanco of power” in the Legls- Inture being socored to tho Indepondents. Tho Wray partison arithmoticians have figured up six Democrzatic majority on joint ballor knocked this arrangement highor than Tilton's statoment kuocked Beechor's Lifo of Christ, and every ono thought it bad faded away o4 the unsubstantini pagenut of » vision, = TOW IT 15 TO DE DONER. But this remark of Buchaoan spoke now lifo into the acheme, and I take it that both Ropub- lioans and Demaorata alike will bo aslounded to road, tho morning this lotter i published, thnt tho Indians Assombly may possibly be under {lie control of what Is tormed, in partisan vopabulary, “the Ilaysced I'raternity.” This is how Mr, Duchanan makes It out: Living hie Democracy tho beteflt of overy. doubt, Lo fisserts that thoy havebut 70 votes; the Itepubli- Heans bave 59; and the Independonts, 21, Accord- {ug to Alr. Buchanou, the Democracy are count- n:‘q upon the uupgm of certain Democrats elect- ot upon Indopendont tickets and by Independent voters, who,. it ‘18 woll known,~g0 Mr, . say will not go into the Democratic caucus, be grned in any dogreo by Democratio rules, or in- fluenced by Dowocratis ussooiations. There aro 21 Tndopendents,—atraight-out, stii-bocked, higly-independont Independents,—who will huve a caucus of . theit own, nominnte thel‘r own candidates, especinlly for Unlted Btates Boustor,’ and “wit down Ly them all winter, no matter what either or Loth of the effect orgamizntions may do." Nodetarmimation has been arrived ot as yot upon the [udividual or individuals who are to"be_hon- orod with this Independent profereunce; bub I tioy romark guut hore, motto voce, that Bir. Buchavan underatands bimeelf to be the man upon whom they will unanimously agree for Benator. The Iudopendents propose about this kort of &n arrangement in thoe organization of the Legislature: In the Benate, the Licutenant- Governor being Republican, they will namoen Dowocrat for Principal Eecretary, a_lepublican for Assintant, and 8 Domoorat for Doorkeeper. As to the House, they bava concluded to allow tho asolaction of tho Hon. David: Turpic ns Speaker, upot whom the Democrats appear to havo united 3 in whieh case a Itepublican 18 to bo made Olark, n Democrat Assistant Clerk, and @ Republican ~ Doorkeaper. Yhey will demand ~ tho ' Chairmauship of cer- taln Committees, particularly tho one on Corporations and the one on Agrigulture, in e« turn for their gonorosity in dividingup the spoils between tho two ogutesting purtios. Thero has oen no sgreement, no understanding, no_cau- ous, or anythuug of the sotf, botween tho Inde- g}udent mombers ; but this division of things about the way it has supgested {teelf totho oxccutlve gontlomen fn tho Capitnl who fix u:lnfs for tho fioy, and mutsmed, and virtuons rueal Grangers, Thers o to be o secret meetin, of loadiug Grougers in this city on tho 24t inet., at wWhich 1t (s prosumpbleall the Legis- Iatoru eloct will bo prosout, ‘and thén end thore theuo littlo thingy can Lo, and will be, definitely gettled, 1:imnglne oll thla will sound vory Jiké rhodomontada to tha enrs of eagor partisans of tho Democratio persuasion, sud evon fo ltepub- Ticans jt will bo & atrange and fucomprobicusible talo, But it is due Mr, Buchanun to koy thot bo Sutks sationally, seoms 16 have impliclt falth in what ho soys, and sticks most stubbornly to the proposition that no Domocratie Senator can bo e}ccxefl unless tho Ropnblicans vote for him.
