e5g- A friend has called our attention to an
article which appeared in this paper some weeks
since. AT the time of it's appearance one of the
editors was absent from the city, and the other
confined to his bed by dangerous illness. A
friend, under these circumstances, had the.tem-
porary control Of our columns, and up to this
time the article referred to had escaped our OBJ
servation.
We allude to an editorial disparaging Mr..
BUCHANAN, and depreciaing his claims 10 the
confidence of the South, on the ground Of his
having in early life opposed the Missouri Com
promise, &c, &c.
The regular readers of the Southern Press,
or those familiar with the opinions Of both its
editors, need scarcely be informed that such an
attack would not be sanctioned by either, if at
his post. For more than twenty years rast, and
in fact ever since he became prominent states
man, the course of Mr.. BUCHANAN has been
liberal towards the South, as contrasted
with that of many other public men in his
section and we have reason, from his more
recent acts, to believe that the same feelings still
continue to animate him.
