expressed at a later date on the treaty to
annex Texas to the United States, when he
declared his "repugnance By any act Of his
to ertend tie limits of the Union Orsr a nea0
slare-hoLding Territory" show what his SEN
timentS on the subject of slavery had al
ways been. If, therefore, it should turn
out to be true, that Mr.. Buchanan was not
present at the meeting, and did not see the
resolutions until they appeared in print, it
is evident that they expressed has opinions !
And those opinions are what the Southern
people are to hold him responsible for.

MIR. Clay and Mr. Buchanan.

When Mr.. Polk was nominated for the Pres
idency, Mr.. Buchanan declared to General
Clinch that he would carry Pennsylvania; for,
said he, we will make those Pennsylvania Ger
mans believe that "Polk is better tariff man
than Clay" The event proved that Mr.. Bu-
chanan was 10 earnest. lie took the field for
Polk in Pennsylvania, and averred, on his
honor as q gentleman, that he knew Mr.. Polk
to be a better tariff man than Mr.. Clayl" So
the Pennsylvania Germans voted for Mr.. Polk.
as Buchanan said they would, and Polk was
elected.
We have the highest authority for asserting
that Henry Clay never forgave Mr.. Buchanan
for this last outrage. For his completely in
the bargain and corruption swiudle," be had
previously forgiven him; but the ''Pennsylva-
MIA swindlen he could not forgive, and never
spoke TO him from that time till the day Of his
death. although frequently thrown in contact
with him In the society OF Washington.
The friends Of Henry Clay would do well to
remember this, and TO ask themselves what
must be the extent of Buehsnsn's unworthi
ness, when Henry Clay, the most nagnAbi-
nous of men. regarded the treatment he had
experienced at bis hands as objectionable.

DEMOCRATIC ENrHUsIAsM.-The Cinci

DEMOCRATIC ENrHUsIAsM-The Cincin-
natl Columbian of the 18th inst, says
An attempt was made to get up Buchanan rat
ifcaton meeting in Columbus on Saturday night;
but the Journal states that it was the --LATEST pc
litcal failure that ever came off there. 1t adds:
"There we're just seUentyfhree persons present, a
large number Of whom we're Republicans. The
Presidential nomination OF great party has for
the first time in our history been announced in the
Capital of Ohio, unheralded by the Of artillery.
What has become of the "live Democracy The
Nebraska swinde and the Kansas Outrsges hang
like the pail of DEATH over the party, paraysing
all its energies ard they cannot be revived bs the
nomination of an old iogy FsderaHst under whose
banner the bricks Of the party do not feel like
fighting"
The democracy of that part of Ohio
look upon the Kansas-Nebraska act as a
"swindIe," do they. Shame on them!

MAKE A NOTE OF T.-The Cincinnati
Gazette of the 10th inst, says
We understand that a meeting Of some eight or
ten Editors Of German papers, who send papers to
some 10000 readers, was held in this city last
evening
They are determined to support the Republican
cause and the Republican candidates, if they are
assured that Republicanism will not be cloak for
Know Nothngism. But they will at any rate be
dnG-SldUsry men, aud use their efforts against
slavery.
After all its efforts to enlist foreigners
on its side, is democracy about to get the
"cold shoulder" from them? That would
be retributive Justice

The Tallahassee Sentinel of the 10th,
makes the following remarks in relation to
the convention
The American Convention which met here on
the I'd instant, was in many respects, totally diff
ferent from all other political meetings of the kind
we ever before attended. Though not a delegate
our selves, We were an attentive observer of every
thing the passed and were struck with the singular
circumstance of almost total absence of that pecu-
liar element which is usually predominant in such
meetings, and shapes aud CONTROLS its action. We
aude to oficeholders, and the class of individuals
who seek to live by their wits. There was not a
single federal Office holder in the Convention. 1t
emphatically a convention of the people--the
voluntary uprising and spontaneous out-pouring
Of the honest yeOmanry of the Countrywide bone
and sinew OF the land 1t was chiefly composed Of
intelligent farmers aud mechanics, the men who
fight the battles of our country-pay the taxes and
supprot the Government One hundred and twenty
delegates came up to the Capitol in person-not by
proxy-fresh from the people from all parts Of the
State, animated by but one sentiment, and that
sentiment was that Americans ought to rule
America" They had but master to obey, and
that master was the will of the people. Hence ii
is we can account for the extraordinary and unpre
cedented unanimity which characterized their pro
csedngs. There was no wranglng-no confusion
The Convention met in peace and adjourned in
harmony. They did precisely what the people sent
them to do; and they did it in a workmanlike man
ner. There was no boasting-no arrogance-nO
unnecessary parade; but every delegate appeared
to be moved by the same spirit and enthusiasm
which animated the great heart Of the American
people in the good old days of "Rough and Ready
ISM" We believe that Willard Fillmore has to-day
popularity in Florida and hold upon the afIec
tons of the people, quite equal to that Of Gen. Tay
lor in ls4S and Andrew Jackson Donelson has
endeared himself TO the hearts OF the American
people every whcar, for the ability and statesman
like grasp" which he brought to the Editorial man.

the great Compromise Measures of 1850.

discrimination, and with TO intention to in
terrupt whatever They are exhibitions of
boyish buoyancy of spirit which should be
checked and controlled, but there is nothing
in them or in their results which justifes the
violent and injurious imputations in our
neighbours Sabbath morning article.
We recollect that during Maj. Henry'S
speech, in the Court House yard, last sum-
mer. the uproar and confusion caused by
the boys almost silenced him, and it is well
known that only a few nights since, on
the occasion of Mr. Clinton's speech, the
noise from the same source was so consid-
cradle that he was obliged to desist, until
they could be called to order.
The charge that the politics of our
police authorities govern their course in
quelling disturbances of public meetings is
unworthy of notice, and the attempt to hold
the American majority of this city respon-
sible for the official delinquencies of mem
bers of the police body who are Americans,
belongs to a species of charges which an
swer themselves. The refutation and the
accusation go hand in hand. We will not
further notice it. The Union q. american
proceeds upon the supposition that the night
police are entirely American, which is not
so. We understand that the last vacancy
filled, was with democrat and We ven
ture to assert that there are not two mem
bers of the Board who could to-day state
the politics Of the men who from time to
time they have elected as watchmen. This
fact ScatterS to the winds the charge that
the responsibility for the incompetency OF
our city police attaches to the American
majority, and fatty disproves the insinua-
ton that the American party of Nashville
would, to promote party advantage, sane
ton dereliction of duty on the part of an
American policeman.
We do not care to discuss with our neigh
Dor his allusion to the mobs in various cities
which have grown out of collisions between
the American party and the foreign popu-
lation, but we beg Of him to consult his
candor before he permits himself to charge
that the American party Of Nashville is
ready to cOuntenance wantOn and unpro-
voked acts of violence towards their poiti-
cal opponents; and tell him that he does
his friends of the American press great in
justice by supposing them capable of ST.
lent satisfaction at such outrageS on the
public peace.
In conclusion, we will say that we trust
our police will, in future, promptly dispense
the noisy crowds of boys who are in the
habit of gathering at public meetings. In
doing so, they will only be in the perform
ance of their duty, and we bespeak it as an
act of charity to our friend of the Union d
american, whose feelings have been so ex-
cruciatingly exercised by the occurrences
of Thursday night.
