We have few men in our ranks 10 whom
the wings concede all the attributes of emf
nent statesmen. One ofthese is James Buch.
anan, the favorite Senator of Pennsylvania.
He has lately drawn the character of the
President elect in few words, but with so
much truth and correctness, that it will be
recognized as a faithful drawing by all who
know him well.


In letter Of the 11th ult., published in the
Globe, Mr.. Buchanan says;


81 have been upon terms cfpersonal, poit-
ical and social intimacy with James X. Polk
for nearly twenty years. and have observed
him in all situations both in the sunshine
and in the storm. Whilst the tremendous
war of the Bank of the United States against
the administration of the glorious old hero
and sage Of the Hermitage was raging, he
never quailed but led the van of Democracy
in the House of Representatives. | shall
venture the prediction that, as President Of
the United States, he will disappoint the ex-

his country's good will be the polar-star of his
administration; and his own glory and lasting
benefits TO the people of the United States,
will be his rich reward, provided he be not
thwarted by premature attempts 10 divide the
party in a struggle for the next Presidency.

are the first TO enter the lists and thus dis

the goal.


"The leading characteristic of Mr.. Folks
mind is an almost unerring Judgment, which
emnently fits him for the high position to
which his country has called him. During
his long and varied services in Congress, it
may be said of him, what could scarcely be
asserted of any other public man, placed in a
similar poslion--that he has never had oc-
casion to explain or retract any Of his votes,
or even 10 qualify any OF his opinions, ex.
pressed in the ardour Of debate"


In the late canvass there was a concerted
attempt throughout the Union, amongst the
whig leaders, to represent Mr.. Clay as inin-
itely the superior of Mr. Polk in all the great
of a statesman. In the con-
trast which was continually presented to the
people, the grossesi injustice was done 10
Mr.. p. Whilst Mr.. Clay was elevated far
above his true level as a man Of talents, his !
