The OId-Iine whittier must
they GOT

Nothing can be more venomous than
the spite which the self-styled "Repub.
licans" manifest toward those able and
patriotic men who, having heretofore
ranked high as Wings, feel bound not
only by every sentiment of duty and
every feeling of nationality, but by
every dictate of real consistency, to Co
operate now with the Democratic party.
The questions Of highest moment, upon
which these disputes with the Democracy
were made to hinge, having been nearly
all settled, and nothing remaining to call
forth the old animositics, why may they
not, without any imputation, act with us
in giving ascendency at this crisis to the
common cause of the constitution and the
Union? Are they not entitled TO the
more credit for rising above those petty
jealousies, envics, or aversions to which
the minor champions Of partzanship adj
here, and for courageously joining the
only political organization which presents
any prospect Of success for those princi-
pies upon which the Union was founded,
and by which alone it can be perpetu-
ated2
Those Wings who have given dignity
and power to their party by genius, pat
riotism, public integrity, and personal
character always boosted of their loyalty
TO the Union and 10 the securities which
the constitution throws around the rights
Of the States. That loyalty found cx-
preston in many a grave senatorial de-
bate, in many popular harangue, in
many an inspired ode, still acclaimed by
scboolboys and sung at clubs. Where.
then, can ney be during the contest now
impending but on the side Of nationality,
agasnst sectional bigotry and fanaticisn?
With what shade Of consistency can
Wings, animated by any regard for the
princi2 Pies Of Washington, or Of Clay,
or of Webster, give their countenance 10
the faction that now usurps the name Of
"Republican" 10 cover doctrines, policy,
and practices utterly at war with the
peace Of the States, and inevitably lead
ing 10 distrust, alienation, discord, and
"ciyil strife n They are not left to
speculate on the treatment they have Ia
expect at the hands Of the black Repub-
LEANS, however, should they decline tc
join in the crusade against the rights
interests, and feelings Of the South

Mr.. Buchanan and Henry CLAW.

The Cincinnati Gazette expresses as
constituent that old Clay wings should be
found willing to support Mr. Buchanan,
and, amongst other reasons, alludes to
the charge that, in 1924, Mr.. Buch-
anan was mixed upwi,h plot to break
down Henry Clay" 10 this the Gin
cinnati Enquirer makes the following
triumphant reply:
Now, it is well known that, although
Mr.. Buchanan was an ardent and deyo-
ted friend of General jackson, and one
of his most able and eloquent supporters
before and after his election to the pres
idency, the above accusations of COM
plicity in any plot, or in any dishonoring
imputations against Mr. Clay's integrity,
are entirely unfounded. They are dis
approved by the letters of that distin-
guished statesman himself, by the cor
respondence of his friends, aud by the
direct statement of his own chosen
biographor.
In Mallory's Life of Henry Clay,
vol. !, page 1873, reference is made to
the charge against Mr.. Clay and his
friends of having proposed, through Mr..
Buchanan, to give General jackson their
support on certain conditions. Mr. Clay
Indignantly repealed the charge, and his
biographer adds: Mr. Buchanan fatty
and promptly denied that such propo-
sition had been made through him, as
had been alleged, and entirely exoncrated
Mr.. Cioy and his odherents from all
connection with it,
"Mr. Clay himself, in letter to
Judge Brooke, of Virginia, dated Wash
ington, August IA, 1917, (see his pri-
yate correspondence, published by Col
ton, states cmphatically in regard to tho
same matter 'Icould not desire astrong-
err statement from Mr.. Buchanan. The
tables are completely turned.
again: the Hon r. p. Letcher,
of Kentucky, devoted personal and po-
litical friend of Mr.. Clay's, writes to tho
latter, under date of August 81, 1927,
in relation TO the same point in Buch-
anan's response This answer is well
put together AS they say in Connccti-
cut, there is great deal of good read
ing in Bucks reply IL is modest and
genteel, yet strong and conclusive. !
am truly delighted with the manner in
which b. has acquitted himself
"These few quotations are sufficient
to show how unfortunate our not alto
gether unintelligent contemporary is in its
reference to 'by-gones.' But if .io
Clay wings may not be permitted by the
Gazette TO vote for James Buchanan on
account of their ancient contests with
him, will it be pretended that they can
consistently support the Gazette's party,
or any candidate who is likely 10 be set
up by the Philadelphia Convention?
Shall they assist in eleyating the self
seeking leaders Of the faction that in New
York and Ohio Jetrayed Henry Clay in
18442
"When the Gazette is next disposed
TO refresh the memories Of its readers
with by-gones,' let il recall the names
ofthose factions and sectional demagogues
Of aboltioDism who now rule in tho
councils of the pseudo republicans, and
who in 1914 played the part Of double
traitors, and won the need of scorn and
contempt from all honest, Union-loving,
and patriotic men among wings and DEM

MIR. BUCHANAN's LETTER

The Washington Union contains the
following letter heretofore unpublished
from Mr.. Buchanan to the Hon. Geo.
w. Jones, of Tenn, elected by a call
on him from that gentleman for informa-
ton on the subject, which elfectually sets
at rest the accusation against Mr.. b. on
account of his alleged opposition to the
last war. We advise all Democrats who
propose to take interest in the approach
ing canvass to preserve it, as embracing
a full and entirely satisfactory explana-
ton of the course Of Mr.. Buchanan with
reference to the last war with Britain:
WASHINGTON, April %, 1Si7.
My DEAR Sm:-I have this moment
received your letter Of the 18th instant,
and hasten to return an answer.
In one respect ] have been fortunate
as public man. My political enemies
are obliged to go back more than thirty
years to find plausible charges against
me.
In 1914, when very young man,
(being this day fifty-six years of age,
made my first public speech before q
meeting of my fellow-citizens of Ian.
caster. The object of this speech wa.
to urge upon them the duty of volun.
teering their services in defence of theil
invaded country. A volunteer company
was raised upon the spot, in. which
was the first, believe, to enter my
name as a private. We forthwith pro
ceeded to Baltimore, and served unit
we were honorably discharged.
In October, 1914, I was elected q
member of the Pennsylvania legislature
and in that body gave my support to
every measure calculated, in my opinion,
to aid the country against the common
enemy.
In 1915, after peace had been conclu-
ded, did express opinions in relation
to the causes and conduct of the war,
which | very soon after regretted and
recalled. Since that period ] have been
ten years a member of the House of
Representatives, and an equal time of
the Senate, acting part on every great
question. My political enemies, finding
nothing assailable throughout this long
public career, now resort back to my
youthful years for expressions to iniure
my political character The brave aud
generous citizens of Tennessee, to what
ever political party they may belong, will
agree that this is hard measure of JUS
tice; and it is still harder that, for this
reason, they should condemn the Presi-
dent for having voluntarily offered me a
seat in his cabinet.
| never deemed it proper, at any period
of my life, whilst the country was actu-
ally engaged in foreign war with for
eign enemy to utter sentiment which
could interfere with its successful prose-
cution. Whilst the war with Great
Britain was raging, / should have deem
ed it little better than moral treason to
paralyze the arm of the Government
whilst dealing blows against the enemy.
After peace was concluded, the case was
then different My enemies cannot point
to an expression uttered by me, during
the war, which was not favorable to its
vigorous prosecution.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
