An English Sketch of James Buchanan
Tlio current number of the English Ne
Quarterly Review, contains a paper npc
uur'ne>v President. It is apparently froi
the pen of a brother diplomatist of the la
American Ambassador to the Court of S
James. After a resume of tlio condition <
the United State.', the writer thus portrai
Mr. Buchanan's character, and indicates h
policy as President :
' Mr. Buchanan has one quality ,und p-ir
haps ?nly one, in cojnmon with Louis. X;
poleoan, he keeps his own counsel. In hot
instances in has been a source of power an
a means of success. It is easier to oiler
negative than a positive affirmation as to tl
policy of the future President. He will ce
tainly not be a King Log. lie will he n
puppet in the hands of his supporters ; nc
will he knowingly, allow his friends toswa
liisbetter judgment. lie will not blindl
commit himself to a one-sided policy, m
rashly throw defiance in the face of all pa
ties and governments who declare for ill
interests of civilization and humanity.
ft is only by n knowledge of his person:
and political character that an opinion ca
ho formed of the policy the President ele<
is likely to pnrt-ue. I?y giving our readei
a description, borrowed from those who hav
long known him, inferences may be draw
as to his probable conduct when the tim
comes for him to exercise the high powei
with which he has been invested. Phvs

indeed, neither physically, morally, ni>r pc
lically, is there anything littlo about bin
He is aliout. six feet high, large-limbed, an
of* fair complexion, and, although past sixti
still shows that he was in earlier days
what the other sex, who must be allowed I
decide in sffch matters, call a handsom
man. He has the habit of holding hi
head inclined to one side, and sometime
partially closing one eve, as if to prove
what was undoubtedly the case during hi
mission in this country, that he could see
vast deal more with half an eye than all on
Ministers when they open both theirs t
the fullest extent, as they had to do mor
than once, if all tales '"j true, during th
course of their "Iran ?on of business wit!

lie is hale ami v:- , of regular an<
active habits, and ptionable moral
conduct, conscieticionsi religious, a l'res
byterian, with moro indulgence for those c
other creeds than is sometimes found ii
persons of that persuasion ; kind-heartei
generous, and charitable, as many instance
reported by those who know him wi
prove; distinguished fur great prudence am
sageity in making his decisions, and fo
firmness in their execution when taken.?
lie was forethought and cool self-possession
conservative in opinion and policy, and
proves the soundness of his judgement bj
beintr favorable to the fliiiisori'niivn i-.miv ii
England. lie has be-on hoard to say inor
than once. "It is remarkable that the Con
servative leaders and party in England hav
always been more inclined to be friendl;
with U. States than the Whigs." In tlii.
by the way, he is not singular, for we hav
heard a simalar opinion expressed by othe
distinguished Americans.
He has been from early life a sue
cessful lawyer in extensive practice, am
most ably tilled the highest posts in th
Government, next to that of President, hav
ing been Secretary of State, Envoy to S
Petersburg, Are. lie never was married
an early and mutual attachment is spoke
of by his friends, whose object was bv on<
of those terrible dispensations which certain
bteadfast natures never can forget., snatche*
from him. Washington Irving, whosufferei
it similar bereavement, has remains
faithful to the memory of lier whom lie ha
lost. Although the private lives of men ii
high stations are considered as belonginj
to the public domain, it would not, w
think, be delicate to allude more particular
ly to the circumstances attendant on this
deep affliction in the outset of Mr. 13ucha
nan's career.?"What we have said suffice
to show that no cold insensibility of charac
ter condemed him to celibacy.
In manner, Mr. Buchanan is courteous
and in conversation mild and deliberate
with n smack of the old school. His bear
iug is calm and dignified, his temper an<
language under complete control, uUhougl
on occasions, when has conceived that pet
sonal orofacial slight was intended , he ha
shown that, although'his parents were Irish
lite can vindicate the claim of his family t<
a Scotch origin, by acting up to the motto
Nemo vie impune laccssit.

Death from Poisoning.?On last Wed- j
nesday cYenin^, the family of Geo. \V. Cur-! <
tis, of this town, were poisoned and one of j
tlieiu, an infant, lost its life. A negro gave
to a nephew of Mr. D., aged abont 10 years,' '
what was said to bo sassafras roots, from "
which soino tea was drawn for supper. Of
this the family partook and were nil poisoned.
But by medical treatment they all recovered,
except the little child. It had !
partaken quite heartily of the tea and was
too far spent before a physician could be
procured.
The roots were not all sassafras, and the
poison is supposed to have been received
from one or two small pieces of jessamine
roots. Unfortunately the negro is not known, !
and hence there is a great deal of mystery J
overhanging this deplorable and fatal occur- j
rcnce.

It is easy to make n physical but not easy to'

medicine is acrimonious and irritating; to the bowels.
This is not. Many of them produce so much

them. These /1///4 product iirt :*n*talii>n ur pain/

Tins remedy has won for itself such notnriity

| that it is entirely unnecessary to reeount llic evi'
donees of its virtues in any community wl^re it
; has been employed. So wide is (lie field of its i:sri
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,

; in persons )iublirly kiio-.ui. who have been restored
. from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
; lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind i* loo xppn;
rent to escape observation, and where its virtues ?re
1 known, the public 110 longer hesitate what antidote
; to employ for the distressing and dangprutiN affections
of the pulmonary organs which arc incident

' Cui.ns, CofCMts, Ho\jisi:nkss, Jte.; and for Cuil'
