and he showed himself Lo be an un: fliuohiog Democrat,'\u2019 ne became one who bad acquired bis principles in the school of Federalism, Me.Buchanan was from the first a most devoted supporter of slavery aud the interests of slave-bolders.He came into the Socate just ae tbe nullificetion troubles had been bruught to a close by the compromise of 1833, and wheu the Calhounites were looking about for a new grievance on which to recommence their agitation for disunion.The abolition movement began at the same time, and was reedily seized upon by the discontented and Siscomborted rebels.Mr, Buchanan took up the elaveholding banner, and was ever prompt in fighting its battles.He was une of the fifieen Senators who supported the Tyler and Calhoun plan for the annexution of Texas.When Mr.Polk became President,in 1845, Mr, Buchsnan was Appointed Secretary of State, and he was a zealous laborer in behalf of those measures which ended in the admission of Texas into the American Union; a measure destined to be fatal to the country\u2019s peace, as it led the way to those discussions whieh ended in secession.He was also a prominent actor in the negotiations which re sulted in the sectiement of the Oregon dispute, on terma which were in direct violation of the position assumed by tbe Democratic party in 844, and to the assumption of which position the success of the Democrats was principally due, as it secured for them the votes of some closely balanced Btates, With the incoming of President Tuylor's administration, Mr.Buchanan retired to private life, after having been in the nations service for twenty-eight years.When Presi- deut Pierce came into power be appointed Mr.Bochanan Minister to Knglaud.He was prinerpally distinguished while abroad for his ings in relation to the Island of Cuba.The administration was bent upon forcing Spain to sell Cuba tothe United States,and was willing to pay a fancy price forit.This was svowedly that slavery might be benefited and strengthened, and Mr.Buchanan went into the business with & heartiness and good-will that materially advanced his influence throughout the South.A meeting of the American Mi- visters to England, France, and Spain, was arranged, and Ostend was selected for the place of rendezvous, but Aix-la-Chapelle was substituted.The meeting caused both mirth and danger iu Eorope and America; und what is known as \u2018the Ostend Manifesto\u201d was à piece of consummate inpudence.Much offence was given to England ; and, after the breaking out of the secession war, what was then done was quoted by Englishmen as evidence of the meddling and insulting nature of American policy, aud gives as à reason wh they sympathized with the rebels, tboug every man who was engaged in the business was a rebel or a sympathizer with the rebellion.Ir Resident Pierce aypposed that he coukd keep Mr.Buchanan out of the Presidential Bed by sending him abroad, be was destined to fiad that he was mistaken.Mr.Buchanan retarned to America in 1856, in time to press his claims to the Democratic nomination.He had bis claims allowed, but not until after several ballotings bad been had, aud finally became the candidate of his party.The election that followed was very hotly contested, and the issue was uncertain until the last days of the contest.The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the course of the Democratic administration in Kanses, the ss.œault on Senator Sumner, and other odious proceedings of an extreme proalavery character, had made the Republican party very strong; aud the conservatives, who had Mr.Fillmore for.a candidate, beld the balance of power in some of the States, Colonel Fremont, who was then very popular, had been uominated by the Republicans, and was op ported by many Democrats in New Kugl New York, the Northwest.OF the 206 elegtoral votes, Mr.Buchanan reosived 174, Col, Fremont 114, and Mr.Fillmore 8.The elecion and inauguration of Mer.Bachanan were followed Ly a sensible abate.went in the antislavery feeling of the - country, and, had be conducted the Govern ment soundly, it is not unlikely that war might have been evoided.But his syinpathies sod the entire influence of his administration vere with the Southern party.Members of his Cabiset were engaged in a conspira>y for the overthrow of the Government, Cobb and Floyd so acting as tu promote pu = secessionists.Ia the summer of 840, it becume mauitest that, in consequence of\u2019 the breach in the Democentic party, the He.publicaus myst elect Mr, Lincs to the Presidency ; aud the secessionists openly declared it to be their purpose to rebel iu the event of his election.Whether they would keep their word depended entirely upou the action of President Buchanun.Ho had the destinies of America in bis hands.Bed he imitated the bold sud patriotic course of President Jackson, secession would bave been as sig nally rebuked na nullifi:ation.Ali that it was required of bits \u2018à was, that the forts which commanded thern harbors should he garrisoned, and the garrisons be under orders to fire upon whomsuever should seek to rajse up batteries tq their possible detriment.Had this been dune, hot a Stage would have rebelled, not even Swath Carolina.I'he President was advised {hus to proceed, but be would not listen to aquad advice, being under tue governance vf & few traitors in bis administration, who were using the power of the country to bring about its destruction.No Biste made even the first movement toward rebellion until it had been placed beyond duubt that the federal governwent would make no resistance to rebels, let them do what they would.The President, in bis last wonual \u201cinessage, plied himself ou the side of rebellion, by virtually declaring that there existed no right of self-preservauion in the federal goveroment, and that it would be wrong to attempt tha ¢ coercion\u201d of State that should secede.This was what South Carolina hwd been waiting for, aud buving been assured tliat she should bot be resisted, she procesded to take the path to rebellion seceding three weeks after the chief of the uation had publicly declared that, in reality, the uation hud no existeucs.Uther States, seeing how eusily and barmlessly South Ca- tolion had got slong, followed her example, the resident no more seeking to prevent the Union's dis-olution than if he were the 1wost uckoown snd obscure of citizens, and the Union bad expired by the terms of a treaty under which ic had existed for seventy-two yours.I President Buchanan le Washington im - mediately upon the accession of Mr.Liucoln to the Presidency, and spent the remainder of his life in retirement at Wheatland.A portion of this time was devoted to the prepaca- tion of # bistory of Lis administration, in which Lie attempted to defend and jusiify bis course.Impartial history will assigu him bis proper place on its It will not be one which un honorable, unselfish, patriotic statesman would desire.\u2014 Boston Journal.THE LAST REMNANT OF THE DARK AGES DISAPPEARING.Warysive TuoconTs: sexe à Sxaiks or DEsuuroar Essavs ou Epucatiox.My D\u2019Arcy W.Thompson, author of ¢ Day.Dreams of a Schoolmaster,\u201d ¢ Sales At tici,\u201d\u201d &c.Edinburgh: Nimmo.1868.Kssars ox a Lisxmau Eprcation.Edited by Rev.F, W.Farrar, M.A, F.RS., Assistant Master at Harrow, late fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Honorary Fellow King's College.London: Macmillan and Co.1867.These works may be taken as exponents of # movement which has of late been making itself more and more apparent among tbe higher class of English scholars in favor of a more liberal and catholic, as, ton more narrow and scholastic, style of intellectual culure.They are the pioneers and leaders of an exodus frow the Egyptian bondage of a conventional, traditional system, to » land flowing with the milk end honey of fresh natare and broad human sympathies.Of this movement Mr.Farmar and his feliow- essayists may be taken as the calm, scientific expositors, and Mr.Thompson as the brilliant, witty, and somewhat eccentric popular advocate; but the essential drift and purport of both volumes is the same.Their authors are well entitled to speak on such a question.Themselves scholars of distinguished rank, they cannot be accused of disparaging a system under which they themselves have failed of success.Mr Sidgwick appears in the honor-lists at Cambridge as the first classic of his year; Mr.Seely bracketed first; Mr.Hales, fourth; Mr.Bowen, fourth: Me.Farcar bracketed fourth; Mr, Wilson, ar.wrangler; while Mr.Parker stands in the Oxford class-lists as à first in classics and a second in mathematics, Even Mr.Thompson, spite of his tendency to eccentric lines and methods of study, holds a position so high asthe sixth place in the classical tri; Clearly there is no ground for the suspicion of \u2018sour grapes,\u201d when men like these call upon the youth of the coming age to disda\u2018n the meagre clusters that grow within the old enclosures, and enter on » wider and richer vin The tone of these writers is not only liberal, but occasionally almost revolutionary, The are for breaking fairly with the itions of the past, and cordially joining hands with the present and future, They throw off the old trammels, not only with decision, but with an indignant energy.The ancient reign of classics and mathematics, as the exclusive io- struments of intellectual discipline, is to cease.A smattering of Latin sud Greek, with one or two books of Euclid, are no longer to be regarded as the all iu ail of the culture and meatal furnishing of en English gentleman.The venerable idol of Latin verse, the doom of achoolb sys aud the trivial acoomplisbment of university classwien, is hurled from its pedestul.Modern langusges, modern literature, modern bistory, modern philosophy and jariaprulence, modern science | and srt, are Lo be largely blended with the ancient learning in the richer nutriment that ie to feed the life of tbe mew age.The old titles of the \u2018classics\u2019 aod ** mathematics may indeed be retained, but with an ampler meaning and a wider scope.The true clasaio taasters are the classics, not of one age only, but of all the \"Fe and embrace the Shak.speares and the Miltons of yesterday, and the J faculties, in Latin an ennysons end Caclyles of to-day, equally with the Homers the Plats the far pasty while the true hreibematics of all the sciences.words: \u201cThe twy favo.ed branches iu Cambridge have bitherto beeu ! claseics' and * muthenn- tio! Lat us preserve the old names, but generalize their significations, Language and science are eivrnul ; their childhood ts hidden from us by an impenetrable veil of olsourily; their muluritg, we knuw, is not ot reac yond our conception.The word university\u2019 is said some to mean the pluce for study of the full curriculum of the world's knowledge.Let ue accept the interpretation, and a:t upon Îts accuracy.Since the Jays when the silver age of Romun literature shed a dim light upon Europe, new languages and new literatures have Been evoked; the geometriu knowledge of the Alexundrines snd the naturel science of Aristotle have branched off into numeruus channels.Why should any single ous chuooel remain unex- ored ?.s the meanin * mathematics ?of the terms * clussicy\u2019 aud The former word mesnt original \u2018ordioary,\u2019 \u2018regular,\u2019 \u2018ranked;

and what um I carrying out in my carpetbag?Let us examine: Une very grest friendship, aod sore few lesser ones; affectionute and grateful recollections of three masters and frieuds ; some mathematics and Freuch stowed uway neatly and compactly, and a great lot of ciassics rather confusedly buddled together, sud in amongst the classics has tombled.a deal of alcaic eawdust, hexa- metrical cinders, iambic cha, and other intellectual marine stores.Well, never mind; ifthe latter are of no earthly use in the outer world, they are highly valued at tbe university of Camelot, to which [ am proceeding ; 80 we may justas well take care of them for three more years, and then we muy with safety throw them all sway into the eternal duat-bin.\u201d § At the university the scenes and circum- stauces were ditlerent, bus the essentis! character of the work remained unchanged.In the drowsy claiste.s of \u201cSt, Iguavia's\u201d\u2014to wit, Pembroke Cotlege, Cambridge\u2014with its twenty-seven listless students, sud ita two or three mediocre and perfunctory tutors, our author finds himself à little further on in bis way, but still on the same narrow aad barren track.There is no leader of thought known there younger thaa Aristotle snd Euclid ; nothing dreamt of in heaven or earth higher or nobler than the integral calculus and the mysteries of Greek and Latin verse.The two all-commanding triposes fix the attention of all eyes as the utmost goal of human smbition aud intellectual effort, aad cast all other ia: terests und considerations into the ahade.To be senior wrangler is the highest aim on earth ;

RoL Upon the ground that the l'ahicn in ques tion wus wuited to this place ur to the epoch, bus simply because youth bad been so educated from the deys of Augustus Car\" t Things, indeed,\u201d have happily greatly changed for the better since Lie Lime to which these trenchant criticisms refer.Ever since the days of Thomas Arnold, and especially since the recent University Hefurm, a new life has breathed over the whole surfuce of Yuglish school and college life, and manifests itself averywhure more snd wore in larger views aud more enlightened methods of intel: Jectual and moral culture.At Cambridge, iudeed, notwithstanding all the efforts made by some of her distinguished sow to give pro- wiusuce to moral science studies, the old | triposes still bold undisputed reign; but, in Ozford, philosophical reading now largely mingles with mere technical scholarship in the requisites necessary for the attainment of the highest honors in the classical school.The oid honors examination in ciswncs bas recently been divided into two\u2014technically : called * moderations\u201d ar the \u201c Boul uchouts\u201d | \u2014of which the one isan examination in scho- : larskip, and the other an examination in phi- | Losophy ; und of the two arenas of distinction, the latter snd not the former is regarded as the greater.\u201c Moderu laugus;es are eu- couraged by free lectures and by university scliolarships.Several names ure usual published for honur, together with those of the successful cundidutes.The examiners | for modern history honors also give weight, to knowledge of foreign bistoriaus in their | owntongue.Modern history 1 fully recognized, and obruins distinction und endowments.Nostudy has done more to bring out latent ability where clamsical tutors expected nothing of the kind.The natural sciences have à good staffof professors, a museum und library, and an bouoclistof their own, with such crambs of endowment aamay fall from the richly-fucnished tables of the clas ics,\u201d § So fur, 80 good.The\u2018 encyclopiedie knowledge of the modern world is admitted within the charmed circle of university honor and reward, though as yet only as a Laz rus gathering crumbs from the rich man\u2019s 1able.Dives himself, too, thoughstill wearing the purple aud fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day, is visibly less supercilious and exacting than of yore.It is a significant fact that proficiency in Greek and Latin verse is no lunger necessary for the attainment of the highest honors in any of the schools; while, generally, it may be said that, in the whole spirit and working of the university, in tbe character of the teaching, aud in the contests slike for honors aad more substantial rewards, thought, intelligence, breadth and depth of culture, are held at 8 higher and higher price, and mere technical scholarship at a less.These changes are all inthe right direction, and it may well be gratifying to us Bcotchmen to note that they are all more or less movements of approach towards the spirit and methods of our own university system, If It dispurees clouds lowled with hail sod Je pts out firm ani preventethoir extension.It is mont «fli sient aginst Lan abunduot raina, fteshots, wid invadations, &:., &:.\" In it not very singular that among the evils this most wonderful specific pues an end to, we du not ace Lriquu la, Garibaldians primiers, geulogiota, philosuphers, sud true Cu istisus \u2014 AGRICULTURE.PEAT FOR HEATING AND MANUR NG, Ths wbsolute valu: of pest for heating is probably nut inure than half that of anthre.cite «oul, wid is somewhat less than that of au equal weight of hard wood.lu tuking steam, however, it is liked because it gives à long blaze and diffuses the heat around the boiler more completely than hard coal does, and it always lewves the expouc part of the beiler ivan wad free from soot.The quickness with which it kindles is also in its favor, both for making steam and heating dwellings.It bas found lurge use in Germany fur fuel in metallurgy.There is u preulmr wml! about burning peat which is unpleaxant tu une persons, though most de not disisk+ ic.The ashes of post wre much more bu:ky than thows of wood, and in suese varieties ure 50 ing us to he troublesome, Peat has been much used as à fertilizer in agriculture, and those varieties which cram- hie easily are Ly many esteem=d of as much value as burniyard manure, Whea compost ed with lims or manure, or when exposed to the weather in heaps fur some months before using it, it is thought to be much improved.Varilties of peat and muck which contain too much earth tu be used for fuel, may be excellent for the soil, sud such kinls uf pest are vey \u201c>mmou every where through the State, and muy be made of the greatest value to farmers who wish tu enlarge their supplies of manure, Îu smsll deposits it is easily ma naged by opening in dry weathue or by inex.prusive drains ;
