How are the Mighty Fallen.

7’he Philadelphia Evening Bulletin says: 7'lic President of the United States, James Buchanan, went to Washington yesterday, after a sojourn of a week at Wheatland and its vicinity. We are told that when he showed himself in the streets of Lancaster, there was none of the cordial greeting that might be expected for a President or a great patriot, on returning to visit old acquaintances. The people of Lancaster were very of him. When he went to the County Agricultural Fair he was actually avoided by his fellow citizens. Nobody ventured to oiler a hearty welcome to him, either as an old resident of Lancaster o- as President of the United States. There were prize horses and other cattle at the Fair that were much more interesting. The Sancaster farmers evidently thought that though they could raise prize cattle, they had not raised a prize President. (£s”Of the three thousand voters bf Washington 7’erritory, two thousand is desirous of entering the matrimonial state, but there are no marriageable £irls there. The Puget’s Sound Herald plaintively calls for “New England damsels to satisfy the demand for a good article.”
