The New York HERALD and its lying cores
poDdent from this city" still continues to be pro-
minent and absorbing topic of discussion " at
Wheatland, near Lancaster" Your editorial the
other day on the great Wheatland Grog Question"
and the melancholy love affair Of Mr.. Buchanan's
youth, which Forney sent forth as pathetic cleo
pioneering document, called forth curses loud and
deep from the Wheatand Junta; and the home organ
Of this morning. yielding at last to the earnest sOlic
tations ard fearful entreates OF Mr.. Buchanan and
his more udicious friends actually attempts to talk
secently and argue that lit has ever been the friend
Of Mr.. Buchanan, and has ever defended him against
all the assaults OF his enemies, at home and abroad,
~ its files will abundantly show But the home
organ, in this silly attempt to make loud noise
among the husks Of political fidelity, unwittingly
Acknowledges the corn OF ingrattude. In one para
graph the editor denies just what he admits in the
next He says =
There was admit, paper called the Lancastsrian
published here al that tme-now no longer in eysscn ce
which full Of vitnperaon and sanderous abuse Of Mr.
buchanan and from whose columns the abolition press OF
the country quot ng With dendsh maguity That
paper was controlled at the time by gentleman who s
actively and ardently eng sged IN advocating the
election OF Mr. Buchanan This fact CT Itself, IS sufficient
10 show that the ISLANDERS in question the ves kind
Of iahrraions and acknowledged by the author
himself al the present time.
But before l show the absolute untruth and vii
famous SANDER Of the above paragraph, let us look
mt the following admission
We purchased that paper the month Of Octo5er last
nj the oictaon Of the then proprietor and united with
the sigRctsince which time the consolidated paper
has been published by tie Laeqeneer and Lanes
terrain, and not the Lance sIcR AMI IsigeDeer as the
NEw YoRK Herald and is lying correspondent has T.
Now, here is Jolly position for the home organ
OF Mr. Buchanan TO be found in just on the eve OF
The Presidential election 4 democratic paper, in
good standing, " which was fall of sanderous
abuse Of Mr.. Buchanan" is purchased by the editor
OF Mr.. Buchanan's home organ (some say by Mr..
Buchanan himsel) and consolid .ted with the home
organ, the name of the slanderer being retained,
and is still sported in bold type right the
OF James Buchanan. The fact is very clear that
the LGacastertan was regarded by the purchasers
democratic paper in good standing; else why
spend one thousand dollars TO consolidate not the
two Offices but the subscription lists and names Of
the two papers? Would Mr.. Buchana Mr.. Forney, or
Mr. Saunderson attempt to bay the subscription list
and name of the Express, the Register or the Whig
which the home organ says are now slandering the
favorife son? The presumption is absurd. No: the
very paragraph above quoted shows tina. the Lam
castsTian was regarded by Mr.. Buchanan as de-
mocratic organ and the consolidation effected in the
vain hope that he could thereby carry his own coan-
fy. 1t j. virtual endorsement OF what that paper
said Of Mr. Buchanan in 1852 and Of the disgraceful
he then compelled to resort to in order to
carry his own county-means, as the LcncasteriGn
then said, well known 10 every man, woman and
child in the county and the late peeyishncss of the
home organ is that knows he cannot carry his
county this fall, even with such aids. The editor is
sagacious enough to see that " them 81 OO0r which
were sent over from England to buy OF this demo
cratic slandeTer" Of "Pennsylvana's favorite son.
and thus strengthen him az bone, might as well
have been thrown into the sea.
But tie home organ very naturally tries to get
out OF the dilemma by telling, what every body
here knows TO be an untruth that the Laaeasterian
was controlled by mountaineering Colonel
Rhea Frazer, the old war horse of democracy
"wbo is now actively and ardenty engaged in al.
vocs,ing the election of Mr.. Buchanan" and that
the author OF The Wheatland grog manifestation
now Acknowledges them TO be 1.-THE vilest kind OF
fsbrcations. So far from this being true, Colonel
Frazer has repeatedly said tina. he could "never
upport such an old federalist, as James Blcha-
nan" and he now says he can support the Cinsin-
matt platform because Mr.. b. has sunk his personal
identity in IT, in other words, If the nominee was
"simply James Buchanan he could not have the
Coonels vote. The home organ dare not, and Co
lionel Frazer win not, deny this. And 80 far from
The author" having made any such statement Or
confession as the home organ asserts, can show BY
The t.es Of the Lgnfqsfo'tan that they cannot be
isproven.
.usv,n,. TINS demolished the hidi..-- nlaee and
sxspt away the misefa5.e subterfuges Of the home
organ, viii nov turn your attention, aud esPe-
rially that or your Sou bern readers, 20 little BIT
Of Mr.. Buchanan's history, which his biographer,
The Chevaler Forney, has strangely overlooked.
The home organ pra'es Ike parrot about "aooli-
fion y "nigCersm, &c, and tries TO make its read

Buchanan Let the record answer
ON the 10th day OF January, 1922 Mr.. Buchanan
in Congress yoted-the question being made test
10 proceed 10 the consideration 0. the most out
TaCeous abolition proposition voted on Ia Con

than even Seward, Giddings, Hale, or any Of tina.
