become satisfied with the spectacle and retire. MIR
buchanan SAID, he knew well his friend from Delaware
(A!r. McLaue) was willing that ali his conduct i'm re-
gard TO the Presidential, question. should be exhibited
before the public, aud that il was principle alone,
which had suggested ais remarks"
That which gives this subject its CHIEF Importance
said MIR. Buchanan, is the precedent. He was anx-
'ous HAT II should be settled on sure foundations. Il
The rule, in its present form, should be adopted, il may
ana probably will be dangerous in future times. AT
present our Republic is i'm its infancy. AT THIS
TIME HE ENTERTAINED NO FEAR OF COR
RUPFlON. in The approaching election il can there
fore make but little difference whether the gallery shall
be opened or closed"
My readers will bear in mind that the above remarks
were delivered on the I'd day of February 1925, ouly
tdi'fyj0wi' days after Mr.. Buchanan made his com
munication TO Gen. Jackson, and when the whole
circumstances of the transaction were fresh upon his
memory, and that il was upon the subject too, of the
Presidential election: that lac then distinctly declared
III The face OF the whole house, and OF the nation, ssbu-
sy rutnor with her hundred tongues, will circulate
The has been propheticl reports of-wicked ~conbina-
IONS and oi corruption, which have DO existence cat
THIS time lac entertained no fear of corruption" I
will ask, If a gentleman CT Mr.. Buchanan's standing
and acknowledged veracity, had been privy to the ex-
istence OF a ''cOrrupf bargain" between MIR. Adams
and Clay, which went 10 deprive his friend and can
didate, Generni JACOBSON, OF an election, whether he
would hare compromised his honor by averrins that il
had no eriStence," and that he ''cntertaiued no fear
of corruption:' would ask, would il not have been
more congeD;a' with his duty to himself, his ccnstitu-
ents, bis country, and his God, TO have ssc,ied aloud anu

t!einan so devoted TO General Jackson as is MIR. Buch.
anan, who to further the interests of his election with
!he peoPic OF Tie South, has given up his favorite doe
time OF protection to Home Industry, l say is il proba
bic, that he would have permitted so excellent an op-
portunity Of prostrating MIR. Adams, TO pass by unim-
proved These are questions which come home 10 the
understanding CT al-because they are founded on hu-
man nature, and speak TIN ough her feelings and pro-
pensiiies. Let those who really wish for light, who
are desirous of reaching the truth, PROFOUND them TO
ity, and when they make up their verdict, let them act
like honorable men, and come TO the deter minaiion OF

From a Correspondent in Mississippi.

-" wv "H'ha
The appearance of Mr.. Buchanans statement in this
State, has produced great disturbance among the Jackson
party, and Disconnected all their plans of opera ton. Thev
had been anxiously waiting for il, expe. ting that it would
enable them 10 triumph over the Administration marty.
But IT has sadly disappointed all those expectations
Nrithlng under the pain. some Of them a,e endeavoring to
show, that there is M difference between the sta Elements of
MIR. Buchanan and Gen. jackson, and that Mr.. Buchanan
has acquitted himself honnrably; Others who canno, dery
the difference between the statements, say that they will
believe Gen. Jackson before they win Nh. Buchanan.
Others, again, are %empIying their vials of wrath upon the
head of MIR. Buchanan, and striving to complete the des-
tructlon OF his character, which was inst assailed indirectly
by Gen. jackson The last number of the Mississippi
Statesman, the organ of the Jackson party in this State,
contains 4 long aua elaborate article. i'll which the PEI ftv
OF Mr.. buchanan, ard the falsehood of his statement, is
attempted to be proved. The following are extracts fom
the aTtIcle:-
"There is nothing more plain than that Mr.. Buchanan
has been the tmpe ofthe Coalition. No other evidence Of
this is necessary than his address. We there see him CO.
vered with shame, vainly enicavoring to evade the infamv
OF having heen the INSTRUMENT uf that arttuI faction thar
have imposed Il President upon the people of the rri;cd
States against their wiHj aud which has elevated their willy
leader to the second office in the Cove nment."
snow, what must the communication of Mr.. Buchanan
have been, which called forth from Gen. jackson such a
'eriy! Must 1t NOT have beeh a proposition to strike a bar
gain with the friends Of Mr.. Clay, and to fight the int,i-
guers with their own weapons In vain may the coalition
endearcur to conrea! the true puTpori OF Mr.. Buchanan's
communications to Gen. Jackson. In vain may it be dis
tofted To suit their purpose. In vain may Mr.. Buchanan
himself attempt to cquivocate. Ii is engraven or his hnnt--
81 ans he who bore IA corrupt overture to Gen. Jackson-it
met with such an answer us | expected"
The article is closed by saying, that
"By his agency, or at least, by the information he afforded,
ne Indirectly promoted that famous coalition, that union of
the Clay and Adams factions, which has imposed on this
Republic its two highest ohicers."
The above extracts need no comment. They show
plainly how destitute oF principiG those l.ien mus, he. vino
can ihus IriAe with the character Of MIR. Buchanan. And
they also show to.what straits their party must be reduced
when they are obliged t" resort to such e~xpedients to ex-
tT!cste themselves from the em5arrassmenls into which thew
have voluntarily plunged themselves. w.
