': - I M- '-I - It wastat first claimed for Mr. Buchanan W his political friends, that he was "borrj a Demo era t," like the famous fire-eater of South Caroli na. His little episode about blood-letting, stag gered thm a little; but they managed to get over tha By a stout denial. jl Then his. opposition to the last war with Eng land botjiered them sonie. They got around that by makipg somebody, swear, that- h;e actually yoluntee the 1 war, with his father's old blunderbuss on bis shoulder- -& had killed about 65 or 70- Britishers. ! This was urged- as a fair practical set off to his theoretical opposition to the war.' But unluckily it now appears by the testimony of some ol4 men in Lancaster, that he was drafted to the war, but proved himself to be one of those intractable animals, '.'wo't would'nt; go' and all the "larruping" they could give him,' would'nt "make him go." He backed out. j So the old men of Lancaster say. Our friend,', the Major, will deny this, we presume : It is so; unnatural to back out when your country calls! more particularly if you have, been drafted; 'most particularly if you . had volunteered. ' Perhaps they had not in those days been instructed in the ajt of tolling along a stubborn horse by fastening n. riaskfii hf corn nn thA torn-iie nf th wn crnn inst. 5 ..' --',- down the country. The horse went then. ; He had to go or starve. ; ;Patriotisrn might iave been prompted in 1812, raa it was, in 1845 viz, by mating; the reluctant; warrior a commissary, There is nothing like paying a gentleman to be patriotic. Moreover, it not only maketh the comissary commit patriotism bimself,but it caus eth patriotism to exist in others. As for exam; pie; if Major Buchanan had been commissary, deal-master-general of meat and bread for the .

Would not each soldier, from a tender'regard to his bowels, have dashed up to f the cannon's mouth ? Would not fourand twenty at once have sprung at the throat of the British Lion ? . t l' .'; -. : ,;.".' f j ::' 'r-;'f But it seems that Major Buchanan did not have his patriotism thus spurred on and provoked by the iodern mode. Or he may not have cared even to cany the bag, in regions where there is such a' f villainpus smell of saltpetre." j "Weaon knowv It is a long time ago. But we hjjow one thing, -ue has in later years, and jn -peaceful times,'taken hfe turn at the bag; if not in carrying it for others, at least :1m thrusting his long arm into it for.himself, down to'the bottom to the old .tune' of - Vi '::-:',f'-'; :'?iA'f -.' ..J'lifoEsy makes the mare go." ., But ,w.e feel that we ought to treat the hy po thetical warrior of 1812 very tenderly: and gin- w gerly, inasmuch as(he may before long bcl with drawn.
