MIX. BUCHANAN ON THE ABOLITION
OF SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA.

During the debate on Mr. Calhoun's resolu-
tons in December and January of 1888, Mr..
BUCHANAN figured largely. An attempt has
been made by correspondent Of the New Or.
leans Delta, in a communication filled with
injustice and perversion, to show that Mr.. BU-
cHANAS, during the proceedings on these reso-
lutions did not cooperate with the national
Democrats in the Senate, and yet his record,
cursorily examined by any honest man, will
show that so far from this accusation being
true, he was amongst the most earnest and
steadfast in supporting the doctrines Of Mr..
Calhoun. We hope soon to lay before our
readers an authorized exposition Of the un.
soundness and injustice Of the charges made by
the correspondent Of the Delta, and more
triumphant refutation Of those charges our
readers have not read in many long day. Or
the subject Of the abolition Of slavery in the
District Of Columbia, Mr.. BUCHANAN, during
this debate, held the following languages,
This District was ceded TO the United States
by Virginia and Maryland. At the date Of the
cession, they we're both slaveholding States.
and they continue to be so at this day. Does
any man suppose, for single moment, that
they would ever have made this cession, il they
bad supposed that Congress would abolish
Slavery in this District Of ten miles square
whilst it existed in their surrounding territories?
So long as it continues in these two States it
would be violation Of the implied faith, which
we pledged TO them by the acceptance Of the
cession, to convert this very cession into the
means Of injuring and destroying their peace
and security.
II this District we're free, it would become a
city Of refuge for the Abolitonists. 1t would
be secure asylum, from whence they could
scatter arrows, 6rebrands, and death through.
out the slaveholding States. II would become
the very centre of agitation.
The people Of this District have viewed with
amazement and Indignation the reiterated and
persevefing attempts which have been made by
the citizens Of distant States TO interfere in their
domestic concerns, and deprive them Of their
property They have protested against this
foreign Interference with their rights but they
have protested in vain. Petitions still continue
to flow in, although the petitioners ought TO
know that slavery exists here in its mildest
form, and that, il they should be successful.
there would not be single slave left in the
District upon which the law could operate.
Before any bill for this purpose could pass
Congress, all the slaves here would be sold and
sent away into the slave States, far from the
place OF their birth and their affections Sue |
Washington sentinel., 1856-05-17
walked UP Ar LAST.

Our slumbering and blundering Administra.
ton has at last been goaded into doing justice
TO the Nicaraguan Government, by the recep.
ton of Padre Will, the second Minister sent
to our Government from this infant Republic
God grant that its sense of reason humanity
and common justice may not have come too
late, for benefit to it and to us Now, how can
any one, not blinded and jaundiced by public
pap and plunder, contemplate the criminally
tardy course of the Pierce Marcy Adminislra-
ton in this matter, without shame and disgust?
What are the facts? In word, these: that
Government was clearly established by Gen
eral Walker, and which is known as the
Walker-Rivas Government; that this Govern
ment, in conformity with general usage, sent
Minister to the United States Government
and he was rejected; another comes, without
any thing having transpired in the interim cal
culated to inspire greater confidence in the
stability of the WalkcrRivas Government, and
after system of contemplate wiring in and
wiring out the Minister is accepted Who can
predict the consequences of this deay--per-
haps fatal delay-to our neighboring and
struggling Republic The pulse of the whole
American people quickens, as the time ap
proaches for the arrival of the next steamer,
by which the tidings Of success or defeat of the
Walker army must most certainly come. If
it shall have been triumphant, how lowly our
official wiseacres at Washington should feel,
that despite of our encouragement being with,
held-despite the superior numbers of the
enemy-and despite the aid of British gold
and British arms, and British nsolent interfer
ence, the gallant Democrats have fought their
Government into security and permanence.
If, on the other hand and we not without
the most painful apprehensions, the disaster
and dismay of the overthrow of Walker and
his brave sodery shall reach us, what must
be the pitiable condition of Pierce and Marcy
at the desolaton they have caused, and the op-
portunity that they have lost, in having GO
vernment established which was so essential
in -any points of view, to the safety and pros
perity of our own Government? Far better

about their necks, and that they were cast into
the sea, than live to breast the storm of popular
Indignation that awaits them.
We have the consolation of knowing that
we have done our duty, and have earnestly
striven to force them up to the point, months
ago, which with the pace of trembling laggards
they have but just reached. However it may
eventuate, We call upon our hitherto silent
neighbor of the Washington Union, on thissub-
ject to accord US the credit to which we are
surely entitled, for inspiring its masters.
