JAMES BUCHANAN.
We copy from the Pennsylvania the fopowi.
report of Speech recently delivered by this Dist;
guished statesman, at Lancaster, in favor of Colo.
Bigler and the Constitutional rights of the Sou,b.
g In commencing, he alluded to the grandeur oe',
spectacle presented by the meeting which h. VI me
could be seen in other country on earth SAID
the humblest and the proudest meet on foo,inefe
equality, to make, to unmake, support the asr O
but elsewhere the laws above the Teach r W
people, and are supported by the bayonet IT, he
met to-day TO interchange feeling and sen,imsynad
refe renee to the nominations made by the ST." In
Ventlons. with regard to the governor all The omsur
Were favorable, and looked to triumph. Pa Oulels
vania had never elected two wing governors Gus
utively; one term of wing government was A. nSec
as she could stand at trial. He felt cer,ai "uch
the result would be the same atthe coming elec,;na
He had never been mistaken in presentimen, r%'
kind but once, and that was when Van RnrO nis
defeated. He would therefore predict briII;"W was
tory for the democratic army of Pennsyvania IN VIC We
professions in favor of sound currency and ,acS
to the relief notes and other shinplasiers uI'ered
that every must feel the evil of such said
as Gov. Johnston by his acts seemed to favor Wy
suffers by this monstrous system of wbic hL!"ho
Is it the Spectator who snnffs danger from ae
knows how to escape ii 7 No; it is the no. no. anu
have these false tokens in their pockets VINO
of the ruin that is coming upon them He Dr,OuS
amined Gov. JohI ston's claims built unoD ,he%1
ing fund, and completely exposed his unfoundoJ nA'
tensions. Mr.. b. next spoke of the tariff pre-
that the word tariff is French word. snbsri,0y
the English word far and that the latter wo,d tI Ui
be adhered to, as people who talk of tariffs ,ii
! then have better idea of what is meant. Tt Iu,u
this for text, he proceeded show tina, p,,t;S;E
Tariffs, or tariffs for protection, Were in ,heir na
nothing hut heavy taxes. Mr.. b. said h.. corId W
call the tariff of 1876 perfect law, as nohinr h o'
is, but il is very nearly At all events he said 10
it Is ever |" be changed. il only be done brouh
the agency of the democratic party as the wbosbsI
tailed In every promise they had made in regard 10 il
I ,ch0 III,
in the law, it only be done by the power If ho
democratic party, and that should teach the whos b
folly OF fighting the democratic party on this Issue
Mr.. Buchanan next referred to the dangers threat
! ening the Union. He spoke of the government and
the U MON of these States as an edifce over the Er
nation of which favorng Providence must have
presided Man must eventually be every where free
Heaven had made him free,and this Union 10 he boi
srument OF universal enfranchisement But is THREAT
ened by dangers al home and in what way SimpIv
this: number of officous fanatics in the North 70:
fuse to let the people of the South manage their own
affairs in their own way. What would YOU think
said Mr. B., addressing those near him, if some of
your neighbors at small distance would persist in
meddling with your family affairs and thereby bring
ing you into perpetual trouble? Would you moi be lust
ly indignant And just it is with your brethren of
the South. All the South asks is to be let alone in
the peaceable enjoyment of its righs-righls pla.
anted by the constitution, and without which guar.
antee the constitution could have existence. al
the South got 6y the Compromise the enactment Of
the giiUeslare AaaV, and that she 1cants honesy and
faithfully erecuted. Il read,'' said MIR. B., The
southern papers atentivey They all give their sup
port to the Union and the Compromise condtiOnaly,
on the faithful performance of the fugitive-save laws
and believe sincerely, II you cancel or nuy that,
you destroy this Union. Now, what will you do
Repeal it and hazard the safety of the Union, OF en-
force it honestly and save the Union? TO this
question there loud response of determination to
support the law 1.-The whole matter is in a nut.
SHELF said Mr.. B., and there You have it," There
is great and party in this State that favOr
the adverse policy but will you vote with that par
tip! No! no j
Mr.. Buchanan then passed TO the Pennsylvania
State law of lS47. He said. say the leasI that
act very nncivIl and discourteous the general
government. 1t had jails in the several States,
and had to depend State courtesy. In this
Pennsy lvania stands in the unbeconing attitude of
allowing her jais to England and France and other
foreign States, whilst she refuses them her nearest
sister, Maryland Mr.. Buchanan then applied his
marks To the approaching election, and said the cleo
ton of Col. BIger would be triumph for the
tIOna constitution All his correspondents unite In
regarding il in that light. We should remember this
for in OOfing {or him we cote 0r great principle as
u'eH as for the Stick to The ticket is a good
text, and is good only for the have stated
That is The philosophy of it. We vote for PriDci
Ples-the men are mere instruments"
The conduct of Mr.. Buchanan contrasts most nobly
with that of tina: miserable demagogue and Abolition
ist, w. F. Johnston, the Wing candidate for Govr-
nor OF Pennsylvania, whose sentiments and action in
relation te the fugitive slave law have contributed
more than all things else to the recent murder of
Southern men in pursu: of their slaves Chrisiana
in that State. Let it be remembered that James Bu'
chanan is Republican of the old school, who holds
to strict construction of the Constitution and rePu
dates the exercise of all doubtful powers. He the
same man now that he was fifteen years ago in the
Senate, when Mr.. Calhoun pronounced him thor
oughly sound and safe on the Slavery question.

announcement the Rochester American adds: Aside
from the reputation, eminent ability, and fine oraO'
