JAMES BUCHANANs RECORD.
HE VOTED TO VIOLATE THE MAILS:
READ THE RECORD.

The record of Mr.. Buchanan's political
life is black with the votes he has given
to strengthen, extend, and aggrandize the
slave system of the South. The Rich
mond Enquirer, in speaking of the Gin
cinnati Platform and Mr.. Buchanan, says
'both the platform and candidate are sat
isfactory to the most scrupulous stlckler
for Southern rights" Gov. Wise thinks
his election will raise the price of niggers
in Virginia. and declared that such was
his devotion TO the slave holding interest
that " he voted to violate the very mails"
to prevent the circulation of an,i-slayery
sentiments at the South. 1t is proper that
the freernen of the North should under
stand the latter vote, and for that purpose
we make the following extract from the.
official record:
In 1885 Mr.. Calhoun of South Carroll
ma reported the following bill in the U.
S. Senate, of which Mr.. Buchanan was
then a member: (See Congressional
Debates, Vol. XII, Part II, page 1722.
Be it enacted, dc, That itsha2 not be fasrfulfor
anu DEPUTY Postmaster, in any State, Territory,
Dstriet of The United States, k,,o,yiagy to iser to

Handful, or any other printed paper or pictorial
reprosentalion touching the subject Of Slavery,
where by the laws of the said State. Ter
ri,orv, or District, their circulation is pro-
hibited; and any Deputy Postmaster who
shall be guilty thereof, SHALL BE
FORTHWITH REMOVED FROM
OFFICE.
"Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that
nothing in the acts of Congress to estab-
lish and regulate the Post Office Depart
ment shall be construed to protect any
deputy postmaster, mail carrier, or other
officer or agent of said Department, who
shall knowing circulate, in any State, Ter
ritory, or District, as aforesaid, any such
pamphlet, newspaper, handbill, or printed
paper or pictorial representation forbid
den by the laws Of such State, Territory,
or District.
