Mr.. Buehanan WilmOt Proyis0.

Berks'' county, in Pennsylvania. 1t will be read
with deep interest and high qualification by all
men who set proper estimate upon our sacred
Constitution and the Republican Institutions,
which have been fostered under its provisions. -
Tho democracy Of the whole Union cannot be
otherwise than proud of the noble. manly and
open avowal of his principles. The Southern
man Of all political creeds, will have 10 dvest
limst If of what prejudice may cloud his judge
mont, and acknowledge that the doctrines of the
great leading democrat Of the Middle States -
the Pcnnsylvia Statesman-are the sheet-anchors
of hope, for the preservation of Southern institu-
tions. Ills bold issue upon tho s.Wilmot Provi
so,'' and staunch adherance to the Missouri Com
promise, do credit to the statesman. and offer
high testimony 10 his patriotism. The influence
of these declared sentiments coming as thev do
from distinguished democrat of the North, will
prevail TO Sufficient extent to save the domestic
institutions of the South from the incendary hand
of the abotlonaist and his accessory, the Will
mot Proviso politician. The influence of the
position taken by the great Pennsy lvanian, will
hold in check the ablitioaists, and bring TO the
South sufficient strength to preserve the Const-
holy bond of our happy Union.
The position of MIR. Buchanan on this exciting
and absorbing question, presents indubiable proof
that the democracy of the North is the hope upon
which the South must rely, for the preservation
of its peculiar institutions, and for the safety
| OF the compromises of the Constitution.
We say our reliance is upon the Northern de-
nsocracy: we mean thereby, that upon Northern
uhiggery there is no reliancefor us. In the late
Congress, when this unfortunate fre-brand was
thrown before it, by incendiary abolitionist,
calling himself democrat, the democratic party
repudiaied him, by majority of their votes. -
The whole democracy of the South took bold
ground against it, and was joined by large por-
ton of the democrats in non-save holding States.
What course did the whig party pursue, on this
important measure? Why, the 1cho7e whig. par
ty of the North opposed their brethren of the
South, and voted for the Wilmot Proviso. In the
House, II democrats from non-save holding
States voted against the Provso, and erery schig
voted for it. In the Senate, 5 democ rats from,
non slave holding States, voted against it, and
erery whig from those States, voted for it.
Thus, 1t will be seen that the ties of the nor
thern wings TO the doctrines, measures and prin
cipIes of their party, are not strong enough to
hold them to their brethren of the South. when
an important measure, in which the very vitaIs
of their institutions are endangered, and the com.
promises of the Constitution are assaiIed.
They voted 10 man for the "Proviso'-not
voice was lifted when their institutions were as
saiIed--no solictude was manifested by them.
when the Abolitionisl, in Disguise aimed the as.
sassn blow at the South, and through it. at the
Constitution Then, they cannot be relied upon.
The wings of the South can never act with the
wings of the North, until the Wilmot Proviso
and its allies are forever buried The whole
South. whig and democrat, are invoked 10 rally
upon, the party that takes open, bold ground for
the preservation of her institutions.
The Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, of PENNSYLVANIA.
is the pillar of strength upon which the patriot
ism of the whole country can rally, for the pre-
serVaion of the constitution, whose personal
strength, great talents and ustrious services.
