SOUTHERN BUCHANANITES.

,auital of that State. Wegive, below, ex-
tracts from the speech there delivered by
him. as reported by the Carolina Times, a
devoted organ of his party. The Times
avs the speech was frequently Interrupt
ted with hearty applause and the whole
confirmed by one general shout OF appro-
val Brooks said -
aHe rather wished the army appropria-
,;on bill would not pass, because it would
effect the removal of the United States
soIdiers from Kansas and leave the people
If the South free to 90 there and cut the

..All of us agreed that if We could not
live in equality in the Union, our only
course was to dissolve it. He was CO.
operation disunionist-t same as he was
in 1851. He felt convinced that South
Carolina would respond to his position
Who were these ''all of us ~ He does
not explain whether it was merely the
South Carolina delegation or all of the
Southern supporters of Buchanan in Con-
gress:
s.He now comes to delicate question
the Presidency. The only hope for the
South was to support Mr.. Buchanan His
onponents were Fremont and Fillmore
the former a soldier who had never won a
hattie, politician who had never made a
speech; his birthplace, too, was as hard
to fix upon satisfactorily as was the identi-
tv of his father. Fillmore was man of
Inexceptionable moral virtue; but between
Fremont and Fillmore he would prefer the
former. because the great issue would be
precipitated. Buchanan was the standard
bearer in the coming contest &a! the plat
form upon which he stood was the light
one for the South. If its principles were
carried out, the Government would be re-
stored to the condition of constitutional
administration. Why should we refuse to
take part in the battle? five are bound
10 have civil war, and if we must dissolve
the Union, we must do it with full ap-
preciatiOn of the consequences. Hethought
there would be no child's play when the
conflict did come.
On the second Monday in November
next the great question would be decided.
For his part, if Fremont, the traitor to his
section, should be successful it was his de-
Tberdte opinion that on the 4th of March
next the people of the South should rise
in their might, march to Washington, and
seize the archives and the treasury of the
Government We should anticipate them,
and force them to attack us.
We had heard from private rumor that
some such reasonable plot had been in Sc
rious contemplation among Southern men,
bers Of Congress, but We gave no credence
t. the tale. Now this unblushing, undis-
cuiSed traitor lets it out that such secret
consultations were held, and that lis ad-
vice was a violent seizure of the Govern
ment By iorce of arms if Fremont should
be elected President.
Such are the kind of men with whom
the people of Kentucky and Tennessee are
invited to cooperate in elccting Buchanan,
men who have rule or ruin for their motto,
and who do not hesitate to avow their
reasonable disuniOn views and wishes.
Take this in connection with the Rich
mond Enquirer's emphatic remarks SO
strongly commented on by our able CORES
pondent ''UniOn" in our paper of yester-
day. Those remarks are as follows:
Let the South present compact and
undivided front. Let her show to the bar
blrians that her sparse population offers
little hopes of plunder; her military and
seI-reliant habits, and her mountain re-
treats, little prospects of victory; and her
firm union and devoted resolution. no chan
ces Of conquest LET HER IL POSSIBLE,
DETACH PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHERN
ONO, SOUTHERN INDIANA, AND SOUTH
Eay ILLINOIS FROM THE NORTH, AND
MAKE THE HIGHLANDS BETWEEN THE
ONO AND THE LAKES THE DIVIDING
LINE LET THE SOUTH TREAT WITH CAL
IFURSIA, AND, If NECESSARY, ALLY HER
SzLF WITH RsSsIA, WITH CUBA, AND
BEAZILi
The Richmond Enquirer, which says
this, Is well known as the ablest and most
authoritative of all the Buchanan organs
of the South Though it is published in
section where the feeling of disunion is by
M means so strong as in the States fur
tier South, and though in fact it has gen
orally been regarded as much more conser-
vative than a majority of the Southern
Democratic organs, it actually brings for
ward and Urges plan of disunion, to be
carried eet at once in the event of the Pre-
SldentIai elections not resulting in accor-
dance with the wishes of its party This
Orcan-in-chief is for the South's breaking
up the Union at once, detaching as much
Northern territory az possible, treating with
California, and allying herself with Rus
SD, Cuba, and Brazil This Is not treason
punishable as such under the Constitution
and laws Of the United States; but, NOR
ally, it Is as vile and accxrsed treason as
ever was expiated upon the scaffold or the
block, The absurdity of the proposal is
equal to its atrocIty, 100
And take all this In connection with the
fact that the whole of the So.thcrn dis
unlOnIsrs, those who got up the Southern
convention and have been at work to de-
stroy the Union ever since, those who
would hail a breaking up Of the Union
more exultingly than any other political
event that could befal the nation, are all
h,OOring might and main to promote the
