The Richmond Enquirer Of Tuesday last
''o'es most admirable review of Mr.. BIZ
chnnan's record upon the slavery question, with
the following, winch we commend esperial,
10 tl'oSe who, IN the present risls, are diSpos.
ed to permit loyalty TO the South, M the Union
and under the Constitution, to become the
governing principle of their poitital action:
"ln private MS well as in public Mr.. Bucha
nan hIs always STOOD on the side of the
South, the cItiztn and the statesman are one
and The same individual. He supported the
r'ghis o' 'hr Snurh when III office; he vindi.
cn'fd and urainIained those rights when on, Of
Office. He NOT on|, 70 I'd fer all II ea.ures o
justice 10 the Sou h, hut he endravorrd to car
~ them into f,rt His is NOT Il dead record
of votes, but n living record of acts, which vim
dra'e the honesty of the votes. Thus. Mr.
Buchanan exhorrtd he North to faithfnlant
cheerful fultilmrnr OF the obligations OF the
fugitive slave law. He protested against tn,
prohibitions of the jais in Pennsylvania to fed
'ral officers for confinement of captured
slaves FL denounced the W'Imor proviSo
lie approved the Clayton Compromise of 1870
And to sum up in single sentence, he has AZ
all times and in all places exerted the author
ltv of his high character and great talents ia
uphold the Union, defend the Constitution and
project the South.
TO recnpi,uare:
l. II 1886, Mr. B'hanan supported bill
to prohibit the circulation of Abolition papers
through the mails
2. In the same year he proposed and voted
for the admission of Arkansas,
9, /" 1867, ne de;ounced and voted to
! reJert petitions Ior the abolition of slavery ir
the District of Columbia.
4. In 1887, he voted for Mr.. CaIhuun's fa
nous resolutions, defining the rights of tn,
States and limits of Federal authority, and
affirming it to be the duty of the Government
to proect aud uphold the institutions of the
South.
s. Ia 1889 and 40, he invariably voted
with Southern Senators against the considera.
tIon OF ant-slavery petitions.
g. In lS44-5, he advocated and voted for
the annexation of Texas.
| I In lS47, he sustained the Clayton Com.
promise.
| g. In 1850, he proposed and urged the ex.
lenslnn of the Missouri Compromise to the
/ Pacific orpan,
! Bur, he promptly acqniesced in the Com-
pr"nse Of so, aud employed all his inhi~nce
lr favor of the faithful execution Of lhs Fupi.
tive Slave law.
20. In 1851, he demonstrated against an en-.
arImen OF the Pennsylvanis Legislature for
cbstrhctlng the arrest and return of fugitive
slaves
IL. In 1854, he negoliptd for the acqu,>i.
tiun of Cuba.
12 In 1856, he approves the repeal of the
Missouri restriction, and supports the prime.
piles of the Kansas Nebraska act.
l3. He never gave vote against the inter.
es's OF slavery, and never uttered a word
which could pain the most sensitive Southern
heart.
The prominent facts of Mr.. Buchanan's re.
cord touching slavery are THIS grouped into a
single viewj SO that the person of the least pa.
tience in research may ascertain at glance
how the democratic candidate stands in respect
TO the great issue of the canvass"
