The Buchanan and Fillmore Plot.

The Albany Journat says that the latest ru-
mOred process by which the Fillmore vote of
New York is to be rendered available to Bu-
chanan, is this /:
The Fillmore electoral ticket is to receive
such Buchanan strength as can be transferred
to it, without any formal announcement of the
bargain" and
If successful, the electors so chosen are to
vote for Buchanan, if their votes will elect
him.
AS a compensation, the transferable stock of
the Buchanan democracy are to !" go in " for
Brooks and the transferrables of the Fillmore
faction are to vote for yet undecided portion
of the Buchanan state ticket
AS the Buchanan men know that Fillmore
stands no earthly chance of an election him
self, they will risk but little in giving his elec-
toral ticket a lift, while the Fillmore men
themselves, conscious of the hopelcssnesS of
their cause in the Union, will be content to
conc out of the canvass with Brooks as Gov
ernOr.
The plot is a very pretty one, but, like many
another plot, it will only result in confusion and
defeat to the potters.

The Buchaniers Impeaching the Testi-
mony of their Candidate.

We published, the other day, James Bu-
chanan's testimony, taken under a commission,
in 1852, disproving, most conclusively, the ca
lumnies of the Washington Union about Ere
mont. The Union replies by impeaching our
witness. 1t says
1t is evident that Mr. chanan in 1882 abored un-
der the same misapprehenson to the conquest of Cali
forlia which prevailed throughout the country
This is poor compliment to the man who
was Secretrry of State during the entire pc
riOd referred to ; the man from whom Col Ere
mont received his instructions, and who must
have known more than any one else, the extent
and value of Fremonts services, if he did his
duty If he is not the best witness to be call
ed to that point, he is certainly not fit to be
President. Will the Union please inform us
what new light has been evolved upon the sub
ject since Mr.. Buchanan left the State Depart
ment ?-Ereniag Post.

The Kansas Thunder of the Buchaniers

The Chicago Press alludes to the fact that
the Buchanan journals are now profuse in their
abuse of the friends of FREMONT, because they
are not satisfied with the present condition of
things in Kansas The indictment against
them is that they rejected the Toombs- Doug
las bill, and are now anxious to keep up the
troubles in Kansas for political effect. Let
these be quieted and they lose all their thun-
der We marvel at the shallowness of these
charges Why, gentlemen, we should have
thunder enough to annihilate your party for the
next ten years if the whole Kansas question
were settled in favor Of freedom tomorrow
Its crimes are such as can never be forgiven.
Think you the American people can ever for
get that for two years it has striven by the
whole power of the government to drive free
men out of Kansas to make room for slaves
That it has trampled upon the constitution and
the laws of the land ? That, armed with the
federal power, it has joined bands of drunken
and infuriated bandits to plumber and murder
the peaceable citizens of one of the territories
of the United States, and burn down their
dwellings? That it has leagued itself with the
slave power for general and permanent war
upon free institutions That, in short, it is
the slave of shareholders, and must do their
bidding whatever that may be? No, gentle
men. These things will be remembered so
long as the present generation endures, and
then they will be written down against you in
history, to be read with wonder and adherence
by the latest posterty.

The declaration Of American Indepen-
dance Repudiated by the Buchaniers.

Since the Republican platform was laid at
pbiIodepha, made up largely, as it is, from
.ha declaration of Independence, the Buchan-
;,r, have made dead set at that instrument,
Jatcrmined, apparently, to have it erased from
,br hearts, if not from the history, of the
American people.
RnCns Choate, is his letter to the Buchanan
allies in Maine the other day, spoke of the
n.,Iaration of Independence as a string of
. ,,I;ttcring rcneralities" Old John Petit, of
Ta7;ona has said, 81 the self-evident truths in
tho declaration were nothing but seLf-crident
re-, and now we find John c. Breckenridge,
,Lo candidate of the Buchaniers for Nice-Pres-
;5.rt expressing himself with equal or even
,-cotpr freedom in regard to its dangerous here
,ics At speech delivered in Butler county,
OHIO week or two Since he thus repudated
,.a glorious truths of the Declaration of Inde-
,opdence, to sustain which the republicans of
i,77j pledged their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor :"
I'VE are told that the Declaration of In
jo,rpdeucc is embodied in the Constitution of
,c United States The Declaration is an
.I5,rfiaR. Put it in the Constitution, and
what would follow ? 1t would follow that the
Constitution must protect every man in his
rslIt to life, liberty aud the pursuit of hap
lne>S."
You would find it interfering with the insti-
tpons Of the state, and it would lead our
country rapidly to destruction. But why do |
SPECULATE upon what it would do Long be-
fire this our Union would be obliterated for
r.o-. It would become as imtoleraJle and hate-
"l a, its past has been beneiicent and glori-

Tie less Mr. Breckenridge and his confeder-

people Of the North are disposed to prize it.
