ponents of Mr.. Buchanan in the entire South, few
years ago, while editor of the Chambers Tribune,
penned the following sensible article in reference to
that distinguished statesman. Pity hut be would
treat Mr.. Buchanan now with little OF the courtesy
that his 'unormly conservative and patriotic course
demands at the hands of every fair and candid oppo
nent:
Hon. JAMES BUcHANAN-We publish below an
admirable letter from this distinguished statesman,
letter In regard 10 the Compromise of 1901 which,
in the present juncture of affairs, will be read with
great pleasure and satisfaction. The position of Mr..
Buchanan throughout the whole agitation Which has
shaken and convuse! the country, has been unicrnl
ty CONSERVATIVE and PATRIOTIC, and as such
has not only the APPRECIATION but the APP
PLAUSE Of liberal and high-toned men in eUery por
ton Of the Union! He IS opposed to further ag1ta
ton upon the Slavery question, and to the mobilization
Of the Fugitive NaUe LGU, and condemns GCtthout
SERGE the factions and corrupt demagogueS Of has OUn
State acho, enmlndfuI Of good faith and the otliga
tons Of the Constitution still persist an Keeping open
question full Of mischief all danger to the S0aat.
The course of Gov. Johnston is expressly referred
| TO by Mr.. Buchanan in terms of clear and decided
| condemnation. The efforts of Johnston to conell3ate
the freesoers and aboitionsts of Pennsylvania, and
his avowed determination to evaGe, il not destroy,
that feature of the Compromise which makes it even
toleIable at the South have draw n upon him very
justly The Indignation and Censure of patriotic men
! like Mr.. Buchanan With leading statesmen in the
North standing in such attitude before the country,
proclaiming such sentiments as Mr.. Buchanan does
and has done, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SLAVERY
| AGITATION IN I835-with the glorious results which
have just taken place in Pennsylvania, worthy to be
known as the Keystone State-ihe South may still
hope that the fatal question Of slavery will be
finally settled and placed at rest.'''
O5- Rufus Choates letter, in which he declares his
intention to vote for Buchanan, closes as follows
! have hastily and mperfectly expressed my opin-
ion through the unsatisfactory forms of letter, to
the immediate duty of Wings. We are to do what
to defeat and disband the geographical party
But by what specific action most efectualIy
contribute to such result is question of more diff
Guilty. 1t seems to be settled that we present
no candidate of our own. If we vote at all, them we
vote for the nominees of the American or the nomi
nees OF the Democratic party. AS between them
shall not venture counsel the Wings of Maine, but
| deem 1t due 10 frankness and honor to say that
while entertain high appreciation of the character
and ability of Mr.. Fillmore, | do not sympathiZe In
any degree with the ects and creed of the patcu
lar party that nominated him, and do not approve Of
their organization and their tactics Practically too
the contest in my judgment is between Mr.. Buchanan
and Col. Fremont. In these circumstances vote TOR
Mr.. Buchanan. He has large experience in public
affairs; his commanding capacity is universally &C
knowledged his life is without stain. | am con-
strained to add that he at this moment by the
concurrence of circumstances, completely than
any other to represent that sentiment of ionaIIty
tolerant, warm and comprehensive. withou which,
without increase of which, America no longer
America and 10 possess the power and | trllst the
disposition to restore ami keep that peace, with IN our
borders and without, for which hearts will y'earn,
which all our interests demand, through which anCt
by which alone we may hope to grow to the true
greatness OF naons.-Very respectfully, your fell ow-
citizen, RUFUS CHoATlG
To E. w. Farley and other gentlemen of the Maine
Wing Stale Central Committee.
