 MR. BUCHANAN AND MR. RV Bs.-The speech of the former on the McLroD QUESTION, is sound, argumentative and demonstrable--that of the latter, dismgenuous, sophistical and non sequitur

 Without anal ysing the entire speech of Mir. Rives, let few of the most prominent points Of attack up- on Mir. Buclianaf, be regarded to subsiantiae what have said.

 fst. Mir. Riyes endeayors to prove that "seliiers and militia men not individually responsible for acts of violence trespass committed in military operations" &c. by making them :. the instruments of higher power,p and that they 'are bound mpli- cIlly to obey the orders ofther commanding oces'' without inquring into the justice legality of the order they receive" REMARKs-1'hs would be monstrous A ferocious, yinlictive, or incorporate officer, assuming a wrong when perhaps none existed, might march his troops upon the unolendng popula- ton of an unoffendng nation-giye his orders for arson murder and piilage, d then keep himself sui iciently out of harms way--his men csptured-

 the authorities of the States put into operation their local laws for the punishment of such trespasses- and the captured marauders plead in extenuation, "our commanding ofiicer,'' the "eonstuted autlor- ty'' of our Government bid us do so-HE IS answer able for all the throats have cut, and all ,ther enqrmtes committed by us, his irresponsible 'n- struments !'' Then catch the commanding officer if you cau--ahd failing here, the blood of our saugh- tered citizens stands unayenged, and the territorial sovereignty of State unredressedsfora bold and da ringyiplapon efits sainetity. Remember, MT. Rves
