SPEECH OF HON. J. F. DOWDELL.

Our columns to-day contain the late speech of Mr. Dow
dell in the House of Representatives the presidential
question The character which he has already made
able and effective debate is fully sustained by this speech
Mr. Dowde discusses the presidential issue in its southern
aspects and all who read his remarks dspassonatey will
concede that his facts and arguments conclusive
the obligation on southern to support Mr. Buchanan
He contrasts with great force and with entire success the
positions of essrs. Buchanan and Fillmore and proves
that the hopes of the Union involved in the triumph
the former whilst the chance Of the latter is entirely hope
less As campaign speech directed to the issues they
are made up in the South, we have nothing
liable than Mr.. Dowdells speech.

The Tribunes faith in the people is based upon the
