BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF Mr.. BUCHANAN-Mr.
Buchanan, the nominee of the Cincinnati Conven-
tion is in the sixty-fitth year of his age; hale,
hearty man, still in the full igor of life, intellectu-
ally and physically. He was born in the county of
Franklin, in the State of Pennsylvania, of compare
lively humble but honest and industrious, parents.
Though his parents were able to give him good
classical and academical education he may be called
the architect of his fortunes. After completing
his school education he studied law in Lancaster
county, in the same State, which has ever since been
his home. In 1914 and 1915 he was elected to the
State Legislature, and in succeeding years. rose to
high rank among the eminent lawyers which Penn
sylvana could boast.
In 1920, Mr. Buchanan was elected to Congress,
and remained member of the House OF representa-
tves during ten years, voluntarily retiring alter the
first Congress under Gen. Jacksons administration
He warm supporter of the administration OF
President Monroe, and one of Gen. Jacksons
earliest steadast and most trusted friends. MIR. Bu-
chanan again entered Congress in 1929. and as
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee displayed
eminent fitness for the position. Alter retiring from
Congress, in 1S4l, Gen. jackson, without soiicita-
ton, rendered him the mission to Russia which he
accepted and filled with signal ability. Among other
services he negotiated the first important CONNER
cial treaty between the United States and Russia,
which secured to commerce the Russian ports
in the Baltic and Black Seas.
Shortly after Mr.. Buchanan's return from Russia,
the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Legislature made
him their candidate for United States Senator, and
elected him. He was twice reelected to the Senate,
and remained in that body until his resignation IN
March, 1915, when he accepted from President Polk
the first seat in his Cabinet Secretary Of State
The ability with which he discharged the duties Of
that important Office, during an important period
in our history, is well known to his fellow citizens
At the close Of the Polk administration, he retired
again to his home in Pennsylvania, but continued to
take an active interest in the political events and
questions of the times.
On the accession of Mr.. Pierce to the Presidency,
Mr. Buchanan was selected to fill the leading foreign
mission-that to the Court of st. James. How he
has acquitted himself as the Representative of the
Republic in England-with what plain republican
dignity and attention to his countrys interests and
honor, and with what prudent consummate diPlo-
matte skill he met and mastered the arts and cum
ming of Palmerston and Clarendon, are matters Of
too recent occurrence and OF too notorious charac-
ter to require detailed statement The distinguished
manner in which he conducted the difficult and
delicate questions committed to his care, raised him
even highe, than be had been, in the estimation of
his countrymen, and pointed him out as the ne: man IN
qualified to hold the helm and guide TIE ship OF
State. Rich. Enquirer.
