ISse Mes Register Of Janaar5 10, 1921
Among the yeas vii! be observed the
name Of James Buchanan aad aluost the
entire Pennsylvania delegation, iucluding
Henry A. Muhlenberg, George Wolf, and
all the Democrats With Ihe exception Of
George Kremer.
! Ia 1923, tae Legislature Of Pennsylvania
/ having large Democratic majority, passed.
| a resolution almost unanimously in favor Of
ubolishing slavery in the District Of ColGnl-
bio, aud the delegation in Congress from
Pennsylvania were found sustaining with
equal upaairnity, the project Cor abolition.
| Then Mr. Buchanan and those who voted
for him we're aboliiioaists-they wanted 70
abolish slavery where it existed, under sane
! tion Of law. On this occasion, too, Mr. Blu
/ ehanan gave sectional vote--as the prop
osition was sustained by the Northern and
| opposed By the Southern members.
Wien Col. Fremont was in the Senate a
similar proposition was introduced, in al
most the Identical terms, to abolish slavery
in the District, which he voted against--as
did Mr.. Dayton. Yetthese are called abo-
lition candidates by the Buchanan press
although neither of them ever gave an abo-
lition or sectional vote in their lives; where's
as we have proved from the record that Mr.
Buchanan did give an abolition vote on the
9th Vi January, 1920,
We DO not say that Mr. Buchanan was
right in 1919, when be was in favor of ex-
GLIDING State from the Union because lis
constitution tolerated slavery, nor yet in
1929, when be voted lin effecp for the abo-
litioa Of slavery in the District Of Column
5ia; but he was right in 1916, when he
4 stood Oh the Missouri Compromise line, and
declared that north of that line slavery
should never 90.
| Why has be fed from that pesitioal Has
| freedom in the territories proved failureg
| Have those territories in which slavery has
been restricted been less prosperous than
those where slavery was allowed TO euter?--
Has Illinois been surpassed in prosperity by
Arkansas, or Ohio by Kentucky.
If he is not willing to barter his princi-
pies for Office, the alternative is that he
fears the South, and that owing to his tim-
idity he backed up from SO deg. so min
now, as be from the game cause backed dotcn
from 81 deg. 80 min. before the roar of the
British Lion. Whichever horn of the di-
JENNA be taken, it matters not, whether
the desertiOn of principles be owing to sell
fish motives or fear, what right thinking
man viii say that he deserves the vote of a
solitary Free State.
| tits bat proper to add that on the final
passage of toe resolutions, after considora-
BILE feeling had been aroused BY debate,
/ Mr.. Buchanan, with characteristic timidity,
lodged the votel while Muhlenbcrg, Wolf,
| Sutherland, Stierigere, and others, of the
delegation stood their ground like men,
Even at that early day Mr.. Buchanan seems
Ito have been troubled with ,Deak spiae,
which has grown weaker with each Succeeding
year.
