The contrasts presonted by some of them afford subject for curious and instructive wady. Let us select, for instance, those of ex-President ‘Van Buren and Secretary Marcy. Both citizens of this @iate, and ongaged f:om early youth in politics, they ‘made the roand of evory office in the gift of the people, faad on the broader platform of national affairs both played ‘leading and successful part. Yet how different are the style and characteristics of their photog apbs. Isis easy fe detcct im the ex President the artificial polish of a man Of the world; bland and emiling though it Is, bis face re- ‘weals the astutences ard subtlety of character which won faim the equivocal eobriquet of ‘the Magician.” In re- garding bis physlognomy one a'most realizes the oxpres- sion of veif-complacency with which he mot the ener;ollo | apostropue of Henry Clay, when the later, in full Sonate, @eslaring bis jofiuence wih Goneral Jackson be su- preme, !mplored of him to descend from his Vive Presi @ent’s chair and proceed at once to accomplish that change Im the potley of the Executive which could alone, the great orator szid, save the country from ruin. ‘The contrast in expreasion as weil as jn the general traits @f Becretary Marcy’s poriait, is strixing, though « @unniag twinkle of the eye is common to both faces.

From (he peculiar qualities developed in these two lant faces, we turn with ploasure to the placid eounteranco and frank and lofiy expression of the actus! Prosident of the United States, the Hon. James Bucbaasn. In that broad and clear expans® you may obsorve as in» mirror all the noble and genial traits (hich the rough wear and tear of political life has been fanabie to biunt or obiiierste.
