Look too. the evidence of correct sentiments con

Those honest democrats who were temporarily be
gued into the belief that the adoption of the povo would
lessen the evils Of slavery and advance the
opinion, and coming manuly in defence of the
compromises Of the constitution and in support of the
press this State with their brethren Massachusetts
and Of the other northern States"
The same paper referring to the enlightened and pa
triotc position of Mr. Buchanan in favor of the Mis-
souri, compromise presents these noble and cheering
views:
and democracy can rae above the Narrow sectional views
OF those whose political vision and patriotism bounded
sentiments of fanatics and one idea politicians shows

ton and the spirit Of concession and bery upon which

exhibits likewise, still strongly the important fact
that in all trying emergencies the country must look to the
great democratic party for its salvation, and
from the peril and ruin into which tanaticsm and dema-
goguism very ready hurry it, whenever any selfish
or sinister designs are to be accomplished"
For these and other reasons induced to believe
that powerful reaction is taking place in the democra-
tic ranks at the north, and that the democratic national
convention will unfurl upon its banner the missouri

That able journal, the Columbus (Geogia) Times ex-
presses the opinion, but in such strong and com.
prehensve language that adopt own. Allu-
ding to the letter of Mr. Buchanan, most important
document, timed as it is, the Times says:

We are compelled TO DEFER for another article, re-
view OF the strange and fatal policy which has been made
test by the wing press, viz the refusal acquire
acre o. Mexican territory, by way of indemnity for the

would be not only madly TO throw away all means of

but would, by yielding vital principle to party erpedieney,
furnish new weapon TO the enemies OF the south.
