Viz: That Mr. Buchanan proposes in administering the Gov- ernment, to bring sbout the admission of Kan- sas as a non-slaveholding State, being secretly the most dete:m‘ned {ce State into the Union with a slavcholding con- stitution, The New York Tribune, per contra, is daily showing him up in the character of the most pliant tocl of what it calls the slave power. The latter journal conceives that he will think of nought else in administering the Government, but of carrying out the most ultia views on the slavery question of the most ultra menof theSouth. Thus, these two distinguish- ed doctors disagree. Both, however, doubtless aim to administer to him the same course of (newspaper) practice; for both undoubtedly stand ready to ‘‘blister’’ his administration on every passing cccasion, it matters little indeed what may be the policy of that on the slavery question. We are charitably inclined, very ; more es- pecially ag our present duty of watching affec- tionately over tho dying bed of our talentad, enthusiastic and ingenious neighbor has of course melted our heart. We therefore deem it but-right to help both the journals referred to above out of their respective dilemma: Thus, we have to assure them that they may safely ealcvlate that the new administration will, with reference to the slavery ques'’on, know none as its friends, North, South, East or West, who fvi] to stand by all the States rights compromises of the Constitution so em- phatically re-affirmed in the Cincinnati Con- vention’s platform Whether in or out of office, he who even blinks at a point involved in the resolutions of that convention on the slavery question will stand precious little chance, indeed, uador Lhe new administration; { mora aspeciaily because, of all times, the i present is not the time for towporizing upon that paiticular subject mstter. Our countrymen are divided into two grovt armies in hosti‘c array. The one—the Dem- ocratic army—is in june fur the cause of the compromises of the Constitution upon the sia- very quastion ; while ihe other, the Republi canary, with fixed bayonets, is in full charge against those compromises The great battie is yet to be fought, and who fancy that tne chosen commander j@f the Domceratic best will play into the hands of their enewy in euch a contest, are simply fools. All mea cf common sense realize that, as matters now stand, the outy hope of the much longer coatinuance of the Union rests in being able to keep the Government truc tothe latter and spirit of the Constitulion’s compre- mi which is not to be done vy temporizing i n the siightezt degree to propitiate those who for every inch granted to them fur the sake of staying cff the Suet straggle or ivsue, have in- } watiably essayed to take au ell. The new } administration is the elect of those who made the Circinnati platform what it is in order to meet, and to do battle with, the enemy, face to face, upon the entirely undisguised issue of the times. The wisdom of that determination at Cia- cinnati is cvident in the fact, that while an unauimous South sustzins that platform, (for, upon the slavery question, Maryland is almost a; unanimously for the policy of the Democ- racy as Virginia.) in the North at the recent election, where that was really the only polit- iea! que*tion in issue, the result has been an addition of gome sixty votes to its strength in the House of Kepre:entatiyes of the United Statezr. Lie who fancies that under such cir- cumstances tiradea in opposition newspapers aga‘nst the policy of the Democratic pariy on the subject will affect the course of the in- cowing admivisiration, js almost a fit subject for a lunatic asylum Cebinet Makirg —Ike New York Herald, Dumes, et id omne, are having a busy time of it truly, thoir present task of making up the incoming administration apparently keeping them quite as bury 23 tneiz task of electing Fremont (over the left) not long 2 kept them. One not up to spuff would imagine that each of these newspapers keeps James Buchanan snugly eneconced in its back office, epoon-feeding bim regularly three times a day ; and giso that all the distinguished men of Mr. Buehaman’s party attend daily at the sanctum of the conductors of a)! these papers, hat in hand, asking puffs and deprecatiag anti- Democratic kicks and cuffs. Hach such peper daily disposes of the cupacity, availability, popularity, and “ claima’’ of half a dozen of the most deservedly distinguished among all who supported Buchazan and Breckinridge in the recent elegtion. Yet we modeaily ven- ture the prediction that all such opposition effurts to prejudice the Presidert elect for or against this or that man will amount to labor utterly {hrowo away; for it happens that that gentleman knows a}! the Democratic-party public men of the times far botte: than those who have patriotically imposed on themselves the labors of the position of Mentor to bim. Mo one can possibly kngw better than Mr. Buchanan the real qualifications aud public history of every man whose services to the State have been and whose position xt homp is such as to admit of the possibility that iis pame may be for an inataut considered in connection with a Cabinet appointment. Nor does any other husz better than Mr. Buchanan where to go for reliabic informa tion concernipg any man with reference to whom he may doybt in that connection. We shali not be surprised to learn that, taking warning against the pressure from friends and foes relative to Cabinet appoint- ments that is likely soon to be upon him, Mr. Buchanan, after thorough consideration, pro- ceeds to make yp his “‘slate’’ very shortly indeed, and sealing tne iyt up, (not to be de- yulged to living mortal until after the deliy- ery of Lis inaugural,) magts all approaches to influence the selection of his official fumily With » blunt and emph degiaration that suck kindness can be but tubor thrown away What & worlg of vexation be would eave teimself by pursuing auce @ auurse, however much it migit nettle those who ia essgying to give advice unasked onthe subject, invariably say two weeds for themselves to one fur the party they eeek to advise!

A number of the Chicago Times (edited by our friend, Jas. W. Sheahan, Esq.,) | cbronicled one of the most note-worthy events | in question, occurring in its city, as follo AmaLGamaTioN MEETING ON Suspar.-— Without exception the largest Fremont mee! ing ever held in Chicago was at Metropolitan Hall, onSunday last Fred Douglass was the orator This man, whoisemployed by the Republican orators t> preach insurrection and murder, who obtained applause from his au dience by denying God’s justice in allowing such men as Cass and Preston to address the people and proclaim the doctrine of self-gov- erament —this man is perambulating the State of Llinois, incompany with John P. Halo, General Nye, and other renegade Demcsrats, seaking to overtura the constitution of the land. Metropolitan Hall presented a singular <teneon Sunday e‘teinoon. There were white men and suoty wenches, and black men and white women, al! listening with open mouths to this negro, who boasted that white and black people were disappearing, and that mu- lattoes were fest increasing. He rejoiced that this amalgamation was progressing, and bis white aud black audience responded with cheers and tumultuous applause to the di-- gusting sentiment Fair white maidens were there, smiling upon the champion of ireadom and Fromont and applauding with their gloved hands bis earnest wish that the distinction between the white and black races would be lost, and that instead of them there would soon be but one tace—the descendants of white women and black men—black women and white men He tharked God that the mulatto raxe was on the increase in Chicago, and his audience cried—Amen Let us do this speaker justice; he spoke to no idle rabble; Le spoke not alone to negro men and uegro women, whose grosser instincts night be gratified by the vision of whits hus bands, white wives and mixed blood children; he spoke not alone to men of infatuated no- tions upon the subject of human liberty His audience was the very cream of the Fremont partyin Chiesgo Men of high social position were there with their wives and daughters; merchants from Lake street and Water street whose names eyere conspicuously upon Fre mont cails and Republican sub.cription lists Michigan avenue, Wabash avenue, and the palatial residences of men who earned their present wealth by mechanical pursuits, and who now, by ‘silks, satins, d.amonds, hoops, feathers and broadeloth,’’ crowd out of ill places the laboring man and the mechanie, (we quote the Democrat) were represented there. These representatives ogling the sooty beauties and ogied by the colored dandies i return These persons embracing the weal and ton of Chicago society were Lhore, listen- ing with delighted hearts to treason, and threats of murder and civil war. ‘Lhere were merchants and their wivee— Fremont merchants and their Fremont wives —whose cheeks did not blanch, whose hearts did not swell indignantly, when a negro stood erect in their presence, on a Sunday atternoon, and procluimed that white men and women, that fathers and mothers, sud little babes— Awerican citizens—should be made to dream of death in their sleep, should fear death at their meals, should be met by fire in cheir beds, and poison in their breau! This atro- cious sentiment caused no borrer in those heart?. On the contrary, this terrific inveon- tion, in the pame of “ Vremont and Jessie,’ elicited enthusiastic applause. This is Fre- montiem in Chicago. Crdered.—The following ia a list of the offi cers ordered to the Uniféd States sloop-of war St. Mary’s: Commander—C. H. Davis; Lieutenants—R. i. Wyman, J.S.

Navy Yard to refit, repair, &c., tells well indeed for Ler present commander and first officer. The Vote of St. Louis.—Fillmore gained greatly at St. Louis in the recent election, over the vote of Ewing (K. N ) there in tke late Stats election; while Buchanan ran fir behind the aggregate vote of Benton aad Polk, his (Ewing’s) competitors. It will be remem- beredé that Benton in his canvass for the (tov- @rnorebip represented himself as a better Buchgnzn wan than the regular Democratic nominee. Immediately after the zeceat elec- tion, the St. Louis Democrat (of the 6th inst.,) proclaiming ita belief that Buchanan had failed of an election by the peoplo, essayed to account for his (Buchanan’s) apparent loss and Pillmore’s apparent gain in that city by ex- plaining that Benton’s friends had (in voticg) stabbed the former in the back. Such is the plain English of its elaborate article on ihe subject, wherein it secks to justify the oourze eo many of ils friengs saw fit to pursuo — Pur- tunately, their conduct in the face of their professions that they are belter Demccrats than the anti-Benton Dem«crats of Missouri was of no avail. Yet il serves to prove to the sativfaction of all unprejadiced men that what their Democratic opponents at home said of them and the councils by which they havo been governed, was true to the letter.

Marshall, do GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE Georgetown, Nov. 13. 1856 Yesterday, about 12 o’clock, while an old gentleman by the name of Richard Howell, about eighty years of age, was walking up tied be street he was taken sudderly ill, ana lay down in the mouth of an alley, where he expired in a few minutes. From all we can learn he was originally from Alexandria, but has for several years pet been living ia Wash- ington with his daughter. a Mre. Wright, and was, at the time of his death, on his way to his grand-daughter, Mrs. Adams, in our city. He had with him at the time a bundle of clo- thing, a bible, &c. Coroner Woodward keld an inquest over the body, and the jury. hearing all the facts that < ould be elicited, rendered a verdict that his death was the re- sult of some cause unknown to them. Atter the inquest, his remains was taken to the house of his grand-daughter, Mrs. Adams, on Pros- pect street Probably there is not another public func- tionary in the land who has occupied the same official position as long as has tne venerable clerk and treasurer of our Corporation—John Mounts, Esq. He has now occupied this re- sponsible post of duty sixty-five years, having first entered upon the duties of the office in 1791. It is needless for ue to say that he has discharged the wultifarious duties of the office to the entire salisfaction of every citizen in the town. A good Know Nothing, who now resides in Baltimore, gave us yesterday the following explanation of the manner in which his party succeeded in carrying that city by such an overwhelming majority at the Presidential election. After the Mayor's election a large number formed themselves mto Clubs in dif- ferent parts of the city, and ceased any longer toshave. On the morning of the election they all went to the polls wearing a beavy beard and deposited their votes for Mr Fillmore; they then returned home and shaved all the lower portions of the face, leaving upon the upper lip a well serelapes moustache, and again voted; after which they removed the moustache also, and voted again the t! time. The above statement was volunta given us by a gentleman upon whose word we can rely. We discover that our Mayor has published in the National Inteligencer his proclamation setting apart Thursday, the 20th, as a day of thanksgiving We confess, however, that w: don’t altogether comprehend the heading— “‘ Mayor’s Office, Washington, D C”’ The flour market since our last has assumed rather more firmness, and buyers appear more disposed to operate for shipping purposes Sales yesterday of several hundred barrels at $6 87 a $7 for fair to good standard brands.

H Warren, in a communication to the Boston Medical Journal, states that he has success. fully administered cocoa-nut oil to a number ot parent in whom pulmonary consumpticn had made rapid advances, in some cases mix- ing the oil with phosphate of lime and tinc- ture of wild cherry. Dr. W. expresses his decided opinion that upon further using the eoeoa-nut oil it will do as much or more for the consumptive as the cod liver oil, not only in phthisis, but in other diseases where the latter oil has proved beneficial, and over which it takes the precedence, not only in being more palatable and agreeable, but it does not produce that nausea and unpleasant feeling that cod liver oil docs An English surgeon has broached the that a strong indication of consumptive symp- toms is to be found in a mark at the reflected edges of the gums, of a deeper color than the adjoining surface The absence of this streak in mon affected with inconclusive symptoms of cmsumption may, he says, be interpreted fa- vorably in ease of sueh suspicious indications, bat in women rather less weight is to be at- tached to this negative sign. In the female 8x the presence of the sign is almost. conclu- sive evidence of the existence of the tubercular element in the blood ; and when, in er sex, i: coincides with a pulse not materially altered in frequency, but ehange from the sitting to tho standing posture, the presence of the pnthieis may, without having recourse to aus- ¢uiltation, d : hat lady or gen- tleman would remain under the curse of adis agreeable breath when by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers” asa dentrifice would not only render it sweet but leave the tecth white as alabaster?

Hasty Burtaus —A Cincinnati paper says: “ Another warning against the too common practice of hasty burials occurred in Fremont, Sandusky county, last week. Daniel Stearns, Keq , who had been ill with a fever for some time, to all appearance died on Friday after- noon “All the a rangements were made, and the friends and clergyman were assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the supposed deceased, when the body appeared warm to the touch. Restoratives were sdministered, and in a few minutes the man who had come so near being buried alive, was sitting up, and is now in a fair way of recovery.” / ‘tnar Bet.—Ben Perley Poore’s bet bas proved infectious, and it it seems that there is another man in Massachusetts who hag lost a bet of quite as an absurd acharacter. A rep- resentative elect, named Bachellor, is under an obligation to draw a barrel of beans on @ sled from Sutton to Worcester, in consequence of the election’of Mr. Buchanan.
