Caiamny OF Mr. John Dale upon MIR. Buchanan
MIR. Seward, OF New York. during the delivery of his
speech, weeks ago in the Senate quoted the stereo
type calumny OF the northern fedelists upon Mr. Jeer-
son, the effect that "he northern democracy were the
natural allies OF slavery" Mr.. Hale. the abolition wing
senator from New Hampshire. corrected Mr. Seward by
informing him that il not Mr. Jefferson, but Mr. Blu
chanan. who uttered the remark
Subsequently,, Mr.. King. OF Alabama, called upon Mr.
Hale to state when and where Mr. Buchanan uttered the
remark which he had ascribed TO him. We copy Mr.
Kings remarks from the report OF the proceedings of the
Senate, on the occasion alluded to-:

have been made by the from New Hampshire and
me- was iio surprised hat The remark had been
made by the honorable senator II ought have been
permitted to pass without disclaimer at the time and
now ask the honorable senator from New Hampshire,
where and when upon what occasion did James Bchan-
that the northern democracy is the na:aal ally oil slavery
Mr. Hale replied, that not expecting TO be called upon
that time 10 make good his statement he had not the
document with him; but he promised Mr. King that he
would satisfy him in few days. He added that il was
no part OF his "nlenion to do any injustice TO disn-
gushed ex-senator from Pennsylvania" and that he
interrupted the honorable from New York SOLE
y for the purpose Of putting him rig point of has
tory-thus assuming all the responsibility Of transfer
ring the sentiment from the shoulders Of Mr. Jefferson to
those of Mr., Buchanan.
Mr. Hale took several days to hunt up his authority
for the assertion which he had made respecting Mr. Blu
chanan, and with which he promised to satisfy Mr. King;
and on the 27h Of March, u he rose in his place with
his authority which was to convince Mr. King and the
world that he had quoted Mr.. Buchanan fairly and
honestly and which he introduced with the following
remarks
Ihave found, Mr. President the remark to which al.
uded, and will read it without comment and let the pub
lie decide whether was justified in the remark made
the words as quoted by senator from New York. tMr
Seward DO not appear to be precisely such as were at,
how far justified in making the remark, speaking
did from memory !, is contained in speech q N,
government settling the northeastern boundary"
The extract read by Mr. Hale, in his place in the Sem
ate, purporting to be extract from MIR. Buchanans
speech is as follows:
All chrisendom is leagued against the South upon the
question domestic slavery. They have no other allies 10
their constitutional rights except DEMOCRACY OF
TnE NosTH In my own State we nscribe pom our party
banners hostility 10 abolition Ii is lhore of the cardi-
nal principles Of the democratic party
The declaration OF Mr. Hale that the extract quoted by
him was contained in Mr. Buchanan's speech on the
northeastern boundary treaty. would of course leave the
impression every candid and ingenious mind that he
had read Mr.. BIS speech. and had made correct and
truthful extract from it. His position as senator Of the
United States, which gives letter Of credence 10 every

and entities his word prma Jaeie, to belief was well
calculated strengthen that impression, and TO satisfy
the Senate and the country. that Mr. Hale had read the
Speech and that the extract which he professed TO give
from it, was fairly and honestly made To show whether
or not MIR. Hale did, in fact, read Mr.. Buchanan's
speech, and il so, whether not he fairly and honestly
quoted him, copy what Mr.. Buchanan did say in the
speech from which Mr. Hale proiessed quote enclosing
IN brackets and marking in italics the wois quoted by
Mr. Hale. The extract is as follows:
