Jackson's Opinion of Buchanan.

On the night before leaving Nashville
to ccoupy the White House, Mr.. Polk,
in company with Gen. Robert Armstrong
called at the Hermitage to procure some
advice from the old hero as to the selec-
ton of his cabinet. jackson strongly
urged the President elect to give no place
in it to Buchanan, as he could not be re-
lied upon Itso happened that Polk had
already determined to make that very ap-
pointment, having probably offered the
situation to the statesman of Pennsylvania
This fact induced Gen. Armstrong sup
sequeptly to tell Jackson that he had Civ

MeyicO and Spain.

A Vera Cruz correspondent of the New
York Herald thus writes in relation to the
prospect of war between Spain and Mexi-
CO:
The cause Of excitement was scarcely
over before another came to eDgross at
tention and conversation. A Spanish
fleet had at trived at Vera Cruz, with a
new Spanish Minister, coming, it is said
to enforce the stipulation of the Spanish
convention with Mexico, wherein the lat
ter government agreed to pay to Spanish
subjects. the sum Of S5,8o2. .662 and to
bear an interest Of three per cent. unit
paid, with five per cent. more to be set
apart annually as a sinking fund. Mex
co has not paid the interest, because
gross frauds was practiced in some OF the
items, which the government has been
anxious to have examined, but-wiich the
Spanish Ministers have from time to time
evaded Now, Spain says, the interest
must be paid, and Mexico replied that i
shall not. Hence the Spanish fleet at
Vera Cruz The liberals laugh at war
with Spain, while the opposition treats
the arrival of the war vessels as very
serious matter. The impression is, that
Spain has too plainly the fear Of 6llibus-
tiers and Cuban patriots before her eyes
to act rashly. The general wish seems
to be that broadside will be poured into
Vera Cruz, as war with Spain would be
universally popular.
You can form no idea of the bitter ha-
tired manifested by the Mexicans against
the Spaniards. This hatred is intense and
personal, not originating in patriotism or
from national causes, but springs from
the diversity of races or castles. l do not
know with what to compare it, but it is a
deep seated, rancorous detestation Of
Spain and the Spanish people, individually
and collectively. A Spanish invasion
would be resisted en- mass. Patriotism
would not call the people TO the ranks o.
the army. but burning animosity to the
very name of Spain. I have often beer
told that in the American war the people
here were urged to volunteer in defense 0
their country by appeals to their pride
recalling how their fathers had resisted
the invasion of tie Spaniards. But tn,
answer invariably was, that the .Ameri
cans were not the Spaniards.

TIRE -MEND-1- ous.-Capt. Clay Pate
why should we make two bites of cher
ry?-why should Captain SO renowned
have two names so small, so insignif
cant? Let us fuse them into the more
sonorous and significant cognomen Clay
pate, Capt Bombastes Furioso Claypate,
of the Missouri Bloody Thunderers, in
his correspondence to the St. Louis Re-
publican, details the following "tale OF
carnage" respecting his sanguinary com
bat with and subsequent surrender to the
odd coward1y Yankee Abolitionists:"
"After the firing had gone on for about
three hours, there was lull, which
took advantage ofin order to have an un
derstanding with the Captain of the op-
posite party. When the fight commenc-
ed, our forces were nearly equal; but ]
saw acknowledgements for the Abolition
lists were near, and that the fight would
be desperate. and if they persisted, moi
one would be left to tell the tale Of earn
age that must follow" This pheerfu
plight lasted three mortal hours, and the
return of casualties is as follows:

that the valiant Captain is every inch {

PERSONAL.

y There are men in this community who
seem to be very much surprised at our
opposition to the Republican nom inee
for President. They have become SO
accustomed to seeing the editors of politi-
cal papers throw up their hats for who
ever rthe party might see proper to place
in nomination, that they can scarcely be
expected to appreciate the motives of a
man who has the independence and hon.
esty to act for himself, regardless of the
threats of party leaders, or the sneers
Of party slaves.
In pursuing the course we have, we
have been actuated by the purest mo-
tives, and if the sequel should prove that
we have erred, we hope our neighbors
viii give US credit for honest of purpose
atleast. Hereafter we will not support
any man for Office, we care not what his
politics may be, unless we are satisfied
that in doing so we are doing r,gAt-we
cannot be induced to do wrong for The
paltry consideration of dollars and cents
We would rather be defeated with The
proud consciousness of having done right
than to succeed by practicing deception
clear conscience is of more value to us
than silver or gold.
The man who win barter his console nc
end all the better constituents of his ma
ture for political aggrandizement or part
ascendency, is unworthy the name of man
For one, we do not feel disposed to yiel
our better judgement TO party policy 0
to the schemes of politicians. We will nc
sacrifice our manhood, our consciousness
of right and wrong, our independence {
thought and action. in order to retain ou
position in any party; and party who's
members exact such base humiliation i
not worthy the countenance Of an homes
man.

Pennsylyanians in Ohio

There are hundreds of Pennsylvanians,
now residing in Ohio, in ecstacies over
the honor conferred upon their native
State by the nomination of JAMES b.
cHANAN. They will rally to the polls in
November and give him their votes and
their influence. Seneca advertiser.
All stuff, neighbor Armstrong; the men
who are best acquainted with "ten cent
Jimmy will be least likely to suppor
him. The old silk stocking Federals
could not carry his own State, if the op
ponents of Locofocoism were united, and
we'll arbitrate good cigar that asit is
he will not receive a mejority Of all tht
votes cast in Pennsylvania.

tons which we believe candidate for the
Presidency should possess.
Sd. Millard Fillmore has honesty, a5iti.
~ and experience. and, although some por.
tons of the platform upon which he stands
do not suit us, we believe that the govern
ment Of this country would be safer in
his hands than in those Of either Of the
candidates we have named. Believing
thus, he shall have our vote and the bene.
fit of what little influence we may pos
sess.

Republican, National Convention.

This body met in Philadelphia on the
18th inst. The Convention was largely
attended and the proceedings spirited
The following is the ticket nominated;
For President, JOHN c.. Fremont, for
Vice President, WILLIAM L. DAYroN.-
The latter gentleman is rather an obscure
man, residing in New Jersey, and it is
said he was nominated to conciliate the

One of the Rivers.

In commercial point of view the Mis-
issippi takes precedence of any river ir
the world. The St. Lawrence is stream
of great magnitude but of far less value
AS it runs east and west, all its produc
tions are of the same kind. 1t is differ
ence of latitude. not longitude, that ere
ates demand for ships, schooners ant
steamboats,. The Mississippi extends ii
a direct line through nineteen degrees O
latitude. At one end of the river we fine
cotton and orange plantations, at the O.
ther snow-shoes and fur overcoats. The
Mississippi is one of the great wonders o
America, and yet its low waters had beer
used for nearly three centuries before a
ny white man was sufficiently impregna-
ted with the spirit of 60 ahead a-tive
ness to ascertain its source. Countless
steamboats, were stemming the torrent
for distance of two thousand mile s.
while yet the region whence it emanated
was as unknown as the interior of ETH
opia. We have only been intimately &C.
quainted with the Mississippi for period
of twenty -four years.

WHO IS JAMES BUCHANAN.

stNo one," saysthe New York Sun,
"will seriously ask who is James Buchan
an?" This is sal d with JUNCTION and eyi-
dent satisfaction. Well, it is pleasant, is
it not, Mr.. Sun, to have candidate for
the Presidency at last, of whom somebo
dy has heard something before he was
nominated? But if it should happen that
any one should ask ''Who is James Bu-
chanan?" you can tell them at once,
and without stopping to think about it,
"Why, he is the man who abused Madi-
son andthe war with England, in a Fourth
of July oration in 1915 at a round rate
He is the man who was such rampant
Federolist that he solemnly declared, be-
fore God and man, thatif he thought he
had single drop of Democratic blood in
his veins he would open them and let it
out He is the man who was four times
elected to Congress as Federalist. He
is the man who came to Mr.. Clay in 1926
and tried to make a bargain with him, or
at least held out a tempting offer to him,
namely that he should be Secretary of
State, to vote for General Jackson; and
is the man who led the General to believe
that Mr.. Clay aud Mr.. Adams had made
corrupt bargain. He is is the man who
heard this charge made, reiterated, and
| the changes upon it rung all over the
country for fifteen or sixteen years, and
yet, knowing it to be false, never contra
dctedit.
Heis the man who said to General
Clinch in 1914, that he could make those
Dutchmen in Pennsylvania believe that
Er Polk was a better protective tariff man
than Mr.. Clay, and he is the man who
took the stump in Pennsylvania in the fall
of 1914, and. by pledging the honor Of a
gentleman to the people of that State, that
Mr.. Polk was better proteetiue-tariff man
than Mr.. Clay. did make them believe it
and vote for Mr.. Polk, whereby they lost
the tariff of 1843, and he got the office O
Secretary of State, all of which he knew
beforehand would take places and he is
the same man who said in a speech, in
the Senate, Matthe best protection the man
i ufacturers could haze was Low WAGES
"bring wages down to TEN CENTS A DAY
and they would need no other protec
ton"
Now, who does not know who Jane
, Buchanan is?

Mr.. Fillmore.

Several of the leading opposition jour
nails in the interior of New York, assert
with the utmost confidence, that Mr.. Fill
more can carry that State. The Albany
Statesman describes him as eminently
the man for the times, and calculated to
satisfy and pacify the country. from one
extremity of the Union to the other
The Milledgeville Georgia. J Recorder, an
old line Wing journal, which has hereto
fore refrained from taking position in fa-
vor of Mr.. Fillmore, now comes out in the
strongest manner and thus refers to the
letter of Mr.. Haven:
It removes all doubtin regard to the
position of Mr. Fillmore, and his accep-
tance of the nomination. Mr.. F. always
has stood by his country. He will do SC
still. He will sink or swim with those
native conservative Union men, who stood
by him and the Constitution in 1850, and
saved tho country from disruption and
anarchy. Unless we greatly mistake the
signs of the times, the country will now
stand by him. Factions, sectionalism
and fanaticism, war against him, but the
honest and patriotic masses, who love
country more than party, will rally to the
support of Fillmore and Donelson, the
peoples candidates; and with the "Con-
stitution and the Union as their battle
cry, they have in prospect glorio us vic.

COOL REcEprIoN.

The Cincinnati Commercial, one Of the
leading Republican papers of this State
gives the nomination of Fremont the fol-
lowing very cool reception
The Nomination of Fremont
The telegraph brings intelligence oil
the nomination of the Hon john G. FIRE.
MONT, of California, to the Office of Presi-
dent Of the United States, by the Con-
vention of the Republican party at Phila-
delphia. For several days we have look
ed upon the nomination of Mr.. Fremont
as certain. & therefore were not taken by
surprise at the announcement. So far
as through our sympathy with the Re-
publican sentiment, we have taken an in
terest in the doings of the Republican
party, we have not so understood its
mission, or estimated its policy, as to look
upon Mr.. Fremont as the most suitable
person to receive its nomination for the
highest Office in the gift ofthe American
people: We have believed that the
truest representative ofits principles must
in the nature Of things, be its it's strong
est and safest candidate, and we are vet
to be convinced that our opinion is erro-
neous
We shall not retract previously ex-
pressed opinion that the Republican par
ty, in making availability its standard of
merit, has committed an error, and thrown
away portion of its chances of success.
It has made victory less certain, and
thrown doubt upon its results in case it
should be achieved. That Mr. Fremont
is true in his attachments to republican
principles is probably unquestionable, and
there is no reason to believe that if elect
ed, they would be dishonored in his h. nds
still an earnest.republican support can on
ly be expected in favor of an earnest re-
publican man, and we shall not be sur
prised to see as was the case with Mr..
BUcHANAN-the enthusiasm subside
with the announcement of the nomination
AS between Mr.. Fremont and Mr.. Bu-
chanan, we shall certainly desire the e.
lection of the former; but feel that it
would be idle to attempt to predict. at
this moment, the results of a canyass,
where, after all, nearly all the strength
of either candidate is in the weakness of
the other. Not being the organ Of any
party, we are under no obligations to
promise victory to our own side, and
we feel a tperfect liberty to wait before
we make up our mind as to the result. un-
til we shall see how the nomination is re-
ceived.
