NM. Buchanan and the OIl-Line WhIgs !

CE~On last Saturday, week, Mr.. BUcnANAN was
in Bedford, and, having stepped into the house OF
Mr. SCHELL for short time, number OF parsons
called 10 TO lake him by the hand As he was about
to leave for the Springs, Il remarked by one OF
the compaay-ssMr. Buchanan, we will give you as
an escort Mr.. RENsu,w and Mr.. Wu. HAETLEY. two
old-ne Wings who intend to vote tor you under ex
isting circumstances.'' Mr.. Buchanan payfully
said in repy-'.I very much obliged 10 yoH, gem
tlemen; but | don't know that / am under any spe-
cia obligations, the compliment is 10 the raIN-
ctpLE q which am the mere agent and not to ME-
This was she highest mark OF respect Mr. 8. could
have paid the intelligent gentlemen 10 whom he was
speaking, conveying the idea thai principles and not
men were the motives propelling The actions of
the old-Iine Whigs. An individual sitting at an ad-
Joining door, happened TO ''oUerisur" a few words
Of the conversation, and reported Mr.. buchanan as
having seriously declared, in effect, that be did not
thank old-hRe Wing TO vote ler him, and the
suit Of this eaves-droppng is half column Of X. n.
trash to carry the fabrication. II Nj. Buchan-
ans remark could have conveyed such meaning, 1T
would have been a deliberate insult 10 the gentle
men he addressed. And will any believe that
gentlemen of The character and intelligence OF Mr..
Renshaw and Nj. Hartley would not have resented
the Indgnty at once by declining TO take seat in
his carriage! The charge earriests own refutaion,
and It's hors are entitled to the appelaton OF ten
cent men in every sense OF the term!
Og~FoRD, rank abolitonist from Ohio, made
speech in Bedford recently in favor OF FREMONT
and against FILMORE-and, whilst Fr. JORDAN K
Co. profess to be the friends OF Fillmore, their organ
contains fulsome article in commentator OF the
speech OF this Aboltonist, which proves the secret
coalition between the Fillmore leaders and the sup
porters OF FREMONT. Fillmore declared in pub
lie speech that the election Of Fremont would result
in a dissolution Of the Union, and yet his prolessed
organ in Bedford appauds the emssarjes who are
srrol!iug the country leciurng in his behalf!
10 candid men require any better evidence Of the
bargain'' than this?
P. S. My friends OF the American party insisted
putting me Chairman OF their county commit
tee; and such have been endea vorIng 10 DO
thing 10 bring about the aeefat ot Joco Focofem!
am rot altogether sure that you act cordially with
the American party, but, not being very welt ac-
qualnted in your township, have veniured 10 put
you the above named COMMITTEES believing one
thing least to be certain, and that is that you
not support the Cincinnati platform, any one who
stands upon il. Your compliance with the request
Of the above circular. should consider both po
tical and personal favor Hoping it may su both
your notions OF duty and propriety, remain most
respectfully yours, &c.
Bedford, Iune 7, 1856
E7~The above beautiful episte was addressed by
FIR. JoRnax TO an oId-Iinr whig in Bedford County,
with the request that the said Wing would act as
member of the secret X. n. Committee, and aid the
Chairman thereof in ''byiaging qboa ale deteat of
Loco Focoisms.'' Francis barked up the wrong tree
however, for the gentleman so Addressed will not
only not aid him in this business but has declared
emphat;cally for Buchanan and Democracy, as thou
sands Of other old-line Wings doing. The whg
thus addressed placed Mr. Jordan's printed Circular
and Postscript in the hands OF friend with
permission to il as he proper, backed by The
declaration that there number of Wings in his
immediate neig ghborhood who determined TO pur-
sue the same course. II will be that the Chair
mans pFofessed love for the dear NATIVE and the
crats 10 aid him in defeating party to which they
ave always been attached. sFa3se Pretfnccn of 30
worse character than this would TUG man if en-
poyed in the business Transactions OF life. We adj
wise Francis 10 be careful 10 whom he writes
number of his secret Committee have already repu-
dated him and his contemplate circulars and honest
freemen will teach him that 'spsrsonaf favo.'' TO
with their duty TO their country.
