MIR. Buchanan on tho Right Track.
The Southern disunonists are firing up again.
1t is evident they are anticipating the cold
shoulder from the incoming administration, and
SO they are already beginning to stir up the
sInouldering embers Of factious rebellion.
First, upon the heels of Mr.. Buchanan's cleo
tion, came that terrible manifesto from R. Barn.
we'll Rhett, urging Southern movement for a
new pro slavery constitution for the United
States, and then followed series Of editorial
leaders from the New Orleans Delta, tka special
organ of Jefferson Davis, urging the enforcement
by the South upon Mr. Buchanan of general
flibus.ering foreign policy for the extension of
the area of Southern slavery over Cuba, Central
America, Mexico and all the islands Of the Gulf
But, with the late visit Of Governor Wise to
Wheatiaad and the remarkable letting 6oGn 10
the lordly fre-eating music CT the Richmoa1 En-
qurer VIC had supposed that 60 far az least Sc the
Virginia wing of this Southern disuuion fG1tion
was concez,ed,. there had beeI.an uncondi sicnal
surrender 20 the new administration, for the
equivalent c. chance among The spoilsmen Tor
the net pros.s Of the election.
An intelligent Washington correspondent, hcs-
ever. informs &c that we have "Hisconcieved tie

queues what tb.,y may.
II mzst be alA;tted that tb.a scheme shadowy,
misty AID mysterious as it Il, appears at first
glance. sufficiently plausible and formidable to
be somewhat alarming. But VIC have had some
such experiments heretofore. Dreing Gen. Tay-
ior's administration ms. Of the leaders involved
in tbs new movement were concerned in a
similar enterprise at Washington, headed by
that giant Of Southern ultras, NJ Calhoun.
They established q paper-tbe SoniLra Pres;
but strangely enough, with the election of
Pierce, from which they expected a coGpensa-
ton for all Losses. this exclusive organ Of
this exclusive Southern party died Of iofaE.ile
mar asmus. This movement rested its cause of
disunion upon that '.atroeious outrage against
the South. the admission Of California
as free State: and we suspect that the basis Of
this new Southern organization Is to be the Kan
sas question, and their ultimatum disunion, and
sparate Southern confederacy, in the event of
tbe admission Of Kansas as free State, however
fairly or justly the act may be consummated
under The organic law Of popular sovereignty.
We presume that among the first deveIope-
ments Of this new Southern movement will be
new organ at Washington; but that its death will
be as untlmely as that Of the Southern Pres we
have no doubt provided always that Mr.. Ba-
chanan Il all SET out with, and adhere to, policy
at once conservative national conciliatory honest
and economical. yet liberal and progressive.
That he viii set on. with such a policy We feel
entirely satisfied that he will perscvere In Il We
have tho strongest hopes and that suchis bis only
way Of safety and success. and the only policy
for roconstructing the democratic party upsn a
solid foundation, no man but q fire-eater, fAna.

Among the latest incidental Developments or
his new ultra-Southern movement Is the PROPOSE

Governor ofsouth Carolina 10 the Legislature OF
the STATE, In his annual message, for the
re. establishment Of the African slave trade.
For some months past this subject has been
discussed, from time to time, by the
Esguiser and the Charleston Stand

ness that has somewhat puzzled US. At length,
however as Far az the Enquirer has been con-
ccFncd, we have been relieved by the assurance
that II was all jokes and we had come 70 The
conclusion that the learned essays OF the
Charleston organ on The advantages Of plenti-
ful supply Of niggers fresh from Africa, were
