Mr.. BUChANANs LETrFR-THE WILMOT
PRoyIsO.-We place before our readers a We
ry important letter from the Hon, James Blu
chanan, to the people Of Berks County. Penn
sylyania. We are pleased to see that man
possessing the great abilities OF Mr.. Bucha-
nan, and occupying the high and responsible
post that he does, should, at most critical
moment. come out upon question OF such
vast importance to the successes of the Demo-
cratic party The letter of Mr. Buchanan
oUeathes the sentiments of pure patriot, and
ale calculated to raise it's author still higher
in the good opinion of his Democratic friends,
throughout the length and breadth OF the
whole Union. He boldly and unequivocally
opposes the Wilmot Proviso, and goes for the
Missouri Compromise. Thus he takes the
constitutional side of the question, and is will
ling 10 risk his popularity on the broad plat
form of that instrument. In word, Mr.. Bu-
Chanan, like man who loves union above
alI other worldly considerations, has expressed
himself as every true patriot should and al
though he has not spoken in manner diff
terent from what might have been ex'
pected from high-minded and honest states.
man, yet he has spoken language which every
body knows does not accord with the feelings
OF large portion OF his immediate fellow.
citizens. Most respectfully do we invite a
careful perusal of Mr.. Buchanan's letter.

TIE 3rd VOLUME OF THE JOURNAL is this
day completed. We publish the SD number
to-day.
In looking over the three years during which
we have had an existence as Democratic
journal, we have every reason to feel grateful
ioT the amountof success with which we have
been favored This time, three years ago, we
commenced the publication of our paper, under
most unfavorabie circumstances. Since then,
maugre the predictions of some OF our federal
friends, the prospects of our paper have con-
tinued day by day to brighten, till now we
feel that the Democratic press in Wilmington
rests upon as firm basis as any other paper
of either party in the State. Our circulation
was indeed small when we took charge of the
paper. 1t has now, however, increased to up
wards of tsrelUe hundred copies, which we feel
oonfdent is larger circulation than has ever
yet been obtained by any paper published in
this place For this, our success, we feel
grateful TO the Democratic party of this section
OF the State for TO them arc we almost en-
tirely indebted for the present prosperity of
our press We trust that during the three
years we have been in existence, we have so
conducted our paper as TO meet with the ap-
probation OF cur patrons. Certainly we have
epdeavoEed 10 DO So We also trust that our
future caseer will be alike pleasing to our pa
irons and ourselves
