The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-10-29

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED.-It is a fact tha
the notorious colonel Lane, who is the leade
of the freesoil and abolition cohorts in Kansas
is democrat, was lately democratic membe
OF congress-, and was one of those 'forty -fou
sound, national democrats who voted for th'
Kansas bill, and whose praises the souther,
democracy delighted so much to sing.
1t is fact that governor Reeder, the late
governor of Kansas, is also democrat, was
democratic member of congress, and constitu
ted one ofthose ''forty-four sound, nationa
democrats who voted for the Kansas bill
This t'sound, national democrat is now ira
verslng thesentire northern States, 'ssbriekne
for freedom making infammatory speeches
and collecting money and raising men fo,
''bleedng Kansas
| 1t is fact that the recently elected black re-
publican governor Of Maine is democratic SEN
ator of the United States, and has been always
a democrat.
Of the black1republican party are of the demo-
cratic school of politicians
1t is fact that Fremont himself-the black
republican candidate for the presdency-has
always been democrat of the first water, and
was elected as such, and by democrats, to the
United States senate
is a fact-the blackest fact Of all-that the
frsttblack republican ever sent to congress from
the south is democrat and was elected by
democratic votes. We allude to F. P. Blair,
j., Of Missouri -r......
Remember that Mr.. Buchanan is in favor of
the people of the territories having the same
rights as the people Of the States to settle the
question Of slavery-or, in other words, he is
is In favor Of the principle of squatter sover-
eighty, which Mr.. Calhoun pronounced to be
"worse than Wllmot provisoism, - and of which
the democratic Richmond Enquirer thus spoke:
'Squatter sovereignty is an imposter-a
counteteit copy-an ugly idol wrought by mems
hands-and should be kicked off the PEDESTAL
where it sits in mock majesty and courts the
admiration Of fools and demagogues
q Remember that Mr.. Buchanan was one of a
committee who reported resolutions at a public
meeting in 1919, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
lnstructng their representatives in congress and
the Legislature to ''use their utmost exertions
to inhlbit the existence of slavery in anysof the
territories or States, which may thereafter be
created by congress" Also rendering their
thanks to said members of congress for "op-
posing the introduction Of slavery into the State
then endeavoring to be formed out Of the Mis-
souri, territory.''
Remember that Mr. Buchanan said in 1926
that he believed slavery to be ''a great political
and a great moral evil" and that he thanked
God his lot has been cast in q State where it
does not exist
Remember that Buchanan in 1914, in the
United States senate, declared he ''(elt strong
repugnance, by any act of his, to extend the linn
It's OF the Union over new slaveholdlng state"
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, furnish
es us with the following ''crumb of comfort"
for the friends of Buchanan in the south. We
beg to commend it to their attention, whenever
they can spare the time from their antiquarian
researches into Mr. Fillmore's career:
On the / til of April, 1926, James Buchan-
an, of Pennsylvania, the champion of south
ern rights (!!) who received the unanimous
nomination of the Cincinnati convention for the
presidency, said, as follows:
Permit me here, Mr.. Chairman, for mo-
ment to speak upon subject to which have
never before adverted on this floor, and to
which, [ trust, may never again have occa-
sion to avert | mean the subject of slavery
l believe 1t to be great political and a great
moral evil. | thank God my lot has been cast
in a State where it does not exist. IT.
has been curse entaiIed upon us by that ma
ton which makes it subject Of proach to
our institutions-See Gales & Seaton's Regis
ter of Debates, page 9,l8O, vol. 2 part g.
The above speech was made in the house of
eleven years after his 4th of
July Grafton, and six years after his famous
Lancaster sntl-slavery resolutions! Will "old
Buck putin his plea of infancy to this charge
as he does to the charge of federalism?
The congressional records show that Mr..
Buchanan presented many abolition petitions,
in congress. We refer to few: He present
ed petition for the abolition of slavery in Flo
rida, and in the district of Columbia, and
a against all propositions for the annexation of
Texas. See senate journal Cd ses. 28th con.
P. l43. See also senate journal, page 596. See
same journal, page 3O6. He also voted for the
reception of such petitions. See senate jour
nal, 1st ses. 24th congress- p. 21O.
During the Cd session 9Th congress, out of
DO abolition petitions, "a were presented by
James Buchanan--See congressional Globe for
that session. ..
tWHAr BUCHANAN IS Certainly thesgen-
yttldl Vi inc name or bucnanan, me people or
Tie northern part of the Union are running
for president, is not the same that some of our
fellow citizens here, talk SO learnedly of, as par
excellence the best friend of the south, now in
the north. We do not like to vote for a pres-
dent without knowing who for, and some Of the
Alchemsts of the south should meet some of
.he Alchemists of the north and unte--or make
= fusion (this is the popular word) of the fiat
and antagonisms in the charac-
,er of the democratic candidate.'' The New
Hampshire Patriot, the organ of Mr. Pierce, /
says of the gentleman running for president in
shat section of the country.
''What a deliberate, wilful monstrous false
hood is here presented to deceive and mislead
The unsuspecting children of the land Here
are professed christian ministers deliberately
attering the Infamous lie that James Buchanan
will 60 for the extension of slavery!' Here,
by men of whom truth is at least expected, /
the sons and daughters of democrats, who are
sent to the sabbath school to receive religious
instruction, are taught that the democratic can:
